Vox, a new browser written in V, is open source now!
github.com/vox-browser/vox
vox-browser.org
Vox, a new browser in V, can now run ChatGPT.com! It loads 10% faster than Chrome.
Hacker News, Reddit, Wikipedia, BBC, CNN, The Verge, Engadget, Stack Overflow, and Slashdot have also been tested.
A test macOS build is coming in a couple of hours!

For startups that have open source projects, I’m increasingly hearing that before posting positions they just ping top contributors to see if they can hire them
Those contributors proved they know how to do the day-to-day work in ways better than an interview would prove. Plus they know what the product does, are motivated to help etc

Vox, a new browser written in V, can now run GitHub, a heavy React app!
Its rendering matches Chrome's, pixel for pixel.

What’s going to happen to open source?
A prediction:
Dependencies are over.
The same Brotli vulnerability impacted .NET, Node, Bun, Envoy and more. Dependencies are too big of a target.
When rewriting a dependency is one prompt away, why take the risk?

Goodbye map[string]struct{} 👋
Go's generic set proposal was just accepted. set.Set is still a map underneath, so range just works, but you get Insert, Contains, Union, Difference and more.
It lands first in golang.org/x/exp/collection/…

A minimal, fast, native GitHub client built with V + ui2.
Shows PR diff stats, review status, and a merge button directly in the PR list, so you don't have to open each PR.
Also includes a button to restart CI jobs, which GitHub's UI lacks.

Vendetta, a fast and minimal video player in pure V.
It will be Vinix's default player.

Anthropic (and all the others) have pirated all books, illegally trained their models on them, then when caught they destroyed all books they could buy (inventing the practice of knowledge laundering).
But when the user wants to find a reference to a paper that is 94 years old, it's suddenly concerned about copyright violations.
It's not even about refusing a task (bad in itself), it performed the task just fine, but it decided to withhold information from you because Anthropic thinks they are above you.
These are the people who want to be arbiters of morality.

I'm convinced that at this point, you could have an Opus 5.5 agent re-implement all of CPython probably within two weeks without any human input, against just the tests, and probably with full compatibility with including ABI, no GIL, a jit and probably beat it on all measurable metrics. It's completely crazy.

eMudhra login to download customer's certs can be cracked
Their 1FA login generates a OTP & sends it. It also sends a RSA public key to front end
They haven't rate limited checks, so you can offline brute force 0 to 9999 encrypted with public key & find the OTP

Launching Junction: come speed-run the semiconductor tech tree this December in Bangalore.
We’re flying in students from all over India 🇮🇳 to a 2-week fabrication retreat at @_lagrangepoint to build equipment, design chips and engineer processes, with our friends at @hackerfabindia.
India still needs thousands of semicon engineers -- the ecosystem to produce them isn’t mature enough yet -- we're changing that.
Current applicants have built vacuum chambers to study plasma physics, RISC-V processors from scratch, scanning tunneling microscopes, et cetera
At junction you will:
1. Propose a project
2. Figure out a plan with the Junction team.
3. Iterate fast towards a working prototype, with help from the Junction team
4. Be mentored by top semiconductor hackers and specialists.
5. Demo to industry leaders, founders, investors, and your fellow craftspeople
Flights, accommodation and project expenses? All covered. Apply on the link below

V now has 128 bit ints!
i128 and u128.
Arithmetic, bitwise operations, maps, generics, and formatting.
>>> n := u128(1) << 100
>>> println(n)

Ghostty 1.4 is now out! Full Kitty graphics with animation (the first terminal besides Kitty to do it), scrollback compression for much lower memory usage, macOS 27 support, a new OpenGL renderer on Linux, ghostty +ssh, big performance gains, and hundreds more changes.
The highlights:
- Scrollback compression: scrollback compresses ~90+% on average, meaning your terminals use that much less live memory
- Huge memory savings across the board: no single large thing, just lots of good improvements lowers memory usage everywhere, netting anywhere from 50 to 90% less memory usage depending on workload
- Kitty graphics is now 100% complete, including animation and relative placements, after a full conformance pass against the spec and Kitty itself
- The Kitty clipboard protocol, with an image preview when a program asks to read your clipboard
- Split drag and drop on Linux, including between windows
- ghostty +ssh installs terminfo on remote hosts automatically, so things just work over SSH
- Lots of terminal emulation accuracy fixes
This release is 7 months of work from 172 contributors over 2,889 commits. It also fixes 10 security advisories, so please update.

New in CodeRabbit Secure:
Deep Scan now follows a vulnerability across your linked repos, then replays the exploit in a throwaway sandbox to prove it's real before it flags anything.
Hendrik walks through this and everything else in the new update:

Vinix, a new OS/kernel built from scratch, can now run Android apps!
vinix-os.org
The goal: full Android runtime, minus the ads.
As Android grows more bloated and closed, Vinix aims to offer a truly open alternative.
Here's Google Maps running on Vinix:
