Pricing hasn't changed, and now you can get captain's chairs for the R1S.

Rivian R1S owners, rejoice. Rivian has heard your pleas for second-row captain's chairs. For years, Rivian owners have lamented the absence of captain's chairs in the R1S, noting that the three-row SUV would be much improved with standalone seats instead of a bench in the second row. Parents groused that loading and unloading kids in […]

The police-tech giant Flock is announcing today that it will change officers’ access to its nationwide network of license plate readers, in an apparent effort to quell a growing backlash and win back contracts lost amid concerns about mass surveillance and police abuse. Several changes aim directly at a problem that has made recent headlines:…

Jacob Fortinsky, the CEO and cofounder of the new prediction market Novig, says his outfit isn’t like those other markets. You know the ones.

Early this year I was wiring Claude into Jira through an MCP server. It worked, and every session it felt slightly wrong: slow round trips, a schema I did not control, structure sitting somewhere the agent could not see while it was reading the code. The fix was almost embarrassingly simple. Put the ticket in the repo, as markdown. I pitched it to a colleague, and off we went. Seven months later: 15 projects across 10 repositories, 165 live tickets, 12 people on the board including non-developers, and no Jira licence. This post is why we left and what we built. Two follow-ups cover the rest: the skill and the loop that let agents work these tickets , and the three review layers that keep the output honest . What was actually wrong with Jira The cost was easy to name: roughly €2,000 a year for something we used maybe 5% of. It was not the reason we left. Every user had to be paid for, so the board was implicitly rationed. Performance degraded as projects grew. The features we wanted sat behind paid plugins. Automations were clumsy enough that we mostly did not write them. And the board was close to what we wanted without ever being it, because that last gap lived in someone else's product roadmap. None of that is fatal alone. Together it means the tool shapes the team instead of the other way around. The constraint that ruled out the obvious answers We are one team maintaining ten separate repositories that ship independently of one another, across TypeScript, C#, Java and PowerShell. A monorepo was never realistic. That kills the usual alternatives. GitHub Issues comes closest and misses twice: issues are scoped to one repository, so cross-repo visibility becomes somebody's weekly spreadsheet, and despite feeling like part of the repo they are not in it. They live in a database behind an API. Not files, not on the branch, not in the diff, and not something an agent editing the code can read without a round trip. Every hosted alternative moves the work further away s

City2Graph is a Python library I built that turns geospatial data into analysis-ready graphs (for spatial analysis, network analysis, and Graph Neural Networks as GeoAI), and the paper describing it has just been published, so I wanted to share it here. Repository: https://github.com/c2g-dev/city2graph import city2graph as c2g # buildings + street segments -> heterogeneous morphological graph nodes, edges = c2g.morphological_graph(buildings, segments) # straight into PyTorch Geometric data = c2g.gdf_to_pyg(nodes, edges) What it covers: Morphology : graphs of buildings, streets, and tessellated urban fabric from OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps Transportation : GTFS and GBFS feeds loaded through DuckDB, with GTFS aggregated into stop-to-stop transit graphs Mobility : OD matrices and flow data (migration, bike-sharing, pedestrian counts) as weighted spatial graphs Proximity and contiguity : KNN, Delaunay, Gilbert, Waxman, plus queen/rook contiguity, under Euclidean, Manhattan, or network distances Heterogeneous graphs and metapaths : several node and edge types in one graph, with metapath-derived edges composing relations across them Conversion : round trips between GeoDataFrames, NetworkX, rustworkx, and PyTorch Geometric Data / HeteroData , with geometries and attributes kept intact It sets out why urban data is better treated as heterogeneous graphs than as flat feature tables, how the morphological, transport, mobility, and proximity constructions relate to each other, and how the library keeps geometry and graph structure consistent across conversions. If you use the library in research, that is the citation. Paper Sato, Y., Pietrostefani, E., Mahabir, R., & Arribas-Bel, D. (2026).

AI is disrupting career progression by eliminating the learning opportunities at each rung while simultaneously enabling people to perform above their experience level, Alasdair Allan explained in his talk Engineering Progression When AI Ate the Middle at QCon London.

Anthropic conducted an audit of 141006 evaluation runs after OpenAI's sandbox escape disclosure. The review identified three incidents where Claude models accessed the internet due to misconfigurations. These incidents involved unauthorised attacks on live targets. Anthropic has suspended offensive evaluations and plans to enhance security measures and collaborate with external auditors. By Olimpiu Pop

This summer has been a scorcher for much of the Northern Hemisphere. June and July marked the hottest two-month stretch in Europe since record-keeping began. The contiguous US endured its hottest month on record in July. South Korea saw its highest-ever recorded temperature. The heat isn’t over yet, but some scientists are already looking ahead…

If you've ever run a Linux VM in VirtualBox and had copy-paste between your host and guest just... stop working, this post is for you. What started as a simple "my clipboard isn't syncing" turned into a proper detective story involving conflicting installations, a kernel module stuck "in use," and a systemd service quietly failing on every single boot. Here's the full walkthrough — what broke, how we figured out why, and how we fixed it for good. The Setup I run a Kali Linux VM inside VirtualBox on my host machine, mainly as a home lab for practicing infrastructure and security tooling. One day, shared clipboard between my host and the guest just stopped working. My first instinct was to run apt update && apt upgrade — but nothing changed. That's actually an important clue we'll come back to: apt upgrades regular packages, but it does not automatically rebuild or reinstall VirtualBox Guest Additions , which is the component actually responsible for clipboard sharing. What Actually Makes Clipboard Sharing Work Before diving into the fix, it helps to understand the moving parts, since "clipboard sync" isn't one single thing — it's three things working together: The vboxguest kernel module — a driver inside the guest OS that lets it talk to VirtualBox itself. VBoxService — a background daemon (runs as root) that handles ongoing communication with the hypervisor: time sync, clipboard, shared folders, and more. VBoxClient — a per-user process that specifically handles the clipboard and display integration, and talks to VBoxService through the kernel module. If any one of these three breaks, clipboard sharing breaks — and the error messages don't always make it obvious which one is the culprit. First Round: The Standard Checklist We started with the usual suspects for VirtualBox clipboard issues: Enable Bidirectional clipboard : In the VM window, under Devices > Shared Clipboard , this needs to be set to Bidirectional (or the direction you want). It resets sometimes after

Nothing ruins a great night of sleep faster than getting too hot. We slept on a myriad of cooling mattresses to find which ones drew the heat away best.

Over a billion people worldwide have livers with excess fat, which can lead to a host of medical problems. Researchers think AI tools can spot the condition—and help stop it—early enough to save lives.

When we set out to talk to kids about artificial intelligence, we thought we knew what we’d hear. We expected some to tell us they were using it to cheat a little, the way Millennials and Gen Xers opened up CliffsNotes or programmed formulas into their TI-82s, and others to share inspiring ways they were…
