A nasty SQL injection bug in Anthropic’s now-retiredPostgres MCP serverlet attackers blow past read-only mode and run whatever SQL they wanted. The repo got archived back in May 2025—but it’s far from dead. The unpatched package still racks up21,000 NPM installsand1,000 Docker pullsevery week...

Search is a fundamental problem in computing, and vector search aims to match meanings rather than exact words. By converting queries and documents into numerical vectors and calculating similarity, vector search retrieves contextually relevant results. In this tutorial, a vector search system is bu..

GitHub Copilot Chat just jot better in **VS Code 1.101** with **Custom Chat Modes**. Devs can now drop Markdown files into their workspace to shape Copilot’s persona—tone, tools, constraints, the works. Want an AI buddy for security audits? Or a test-writing machine with zero patience for flaky cod..

A developer rolled their own AI server for $1.3K—Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS, an Nvidia RTX GPU, and a sharp eye on Tensor cores, VRAM, and resale value. The rig handles small models locally and punts big jobs to the cloud when needed. Local-first, cloud-when-it-counts...

Vibe Coding lets developers create software by chatting with AI, skipping traditional coding. But the non-determinism of AI prompts poses significant risks for reliability and maintainability, potentially leading to addiction-like dependence on this new tool. Think twice before fully embracing this ..

Perl 5 has risen to **10th place in the TIOBE Index**, increasing in popularity even though the exact reason is unknown. Perl 6, or Raku, lags behind Perl 5 in rankings and has not seen the same rise in attention. Other top languages like C and Java have experienced slight falls in rankings...

A long-dead Linux kernel driver for QIC-80 tape drives just got dragged into the present—with help from **Claude Code** and a lot of tinkering. It now builds cleanly and runs as a **standalone module** on **Linux 6.8**, playing nice with modern setups like **Xubuntu 24.04**. **The bigger picture:**..

In the “Month of AI Bugs,” researchers poked deep and found prompt injection holes bad enough to run **arbitrary code** on major AI coding tools—**GitHub Copilot**, **Amazon Q**, and **AWS Kiro** all flinched. They didn’t stop at theory. They built **AgentHopper**, a proof-of-concept AI virus that ..

Fastly says95% of developersspend extra time fixing AI-written code. Senior engineers take the brunt. That overhead has even spawned a new gig: “vibe code cleanup specialist.” (Yes, seriously.) As teams lean harder on AI tools, reliability and security start to slide—unless someone steps in. The re..

Agent engineering with **small language models (SLMs)**—anywhere from 270M to 32B parameters—calls for a different playbook. Think tight prompts, offloaded logic, clean I/O, and systems that don’t fall apart when things go sideways. The newer stack—**GGUF** + **llama.cpp**—lets these agents run loc..
