Cybersecurity researchers have flagged yet another evolution of the supply chain attack linked to the Mini Shai-Hulud, Miasma, and Hades malware family that has compromised a new set of npm packages, even as it has propagated to the Go ecosystem. “The latest activity includes malicious npm releases affecting LeoPlatform and RStreams packages, GitHub Actions workflow abuse, and a related Go module compromise involving the Verana Blockchain project,” Socket said. The end goal of the campaign, as before, is to harvest developer or maintainer credentials and weaponize the stolen data to spread across package registries, repositories, and trusted developer workflows. The…

Most sales teams don’t have a tech stack problem. They have a too-much-tech problem. Here’s what a stack that actually sells looks like. Key Takeaways A bloated stack creates more friction than it removes- every tool bought without a specific friction problem to solve becomes something the rep has to work around, not with. Integration debt compounds silently- broken syncs and inconsistent data degrade every tool downstream, and the cost rarely shows up until something important breaks at the wrong moment. The CRM is the foundation on which everything depends- no tool layered on top of bad CRM data produces…

Over the past 80 years, America’s bold, sustained investment in scientific research, and the discoveries, ideas and innovations that flowed from it made America a world leader. The nation’s scientific leadership has been essential to our shared prosperity and national security, and delivered real benefits for all Americans.On June 16, Scientific American released a special section, “The Young American Scientists,” which celebrates early-career professionals actively engaged in scientific research, and features commentary from MIT faculty on why they continue to be so devoted to curiosity-driven science, demonstrating how their hard work and dedication make Americans safer, healthier, and more prosperous. Among…

Apple stunned the industry when it launched the MacBook Neo in March 2026 for just $599 ($499 for students), especially as most PC makers were raising prices. Unfortunately, that era is already over.  On June 25, Apple increased the prices of the MacBook Neo, M5 MacBook Air, and several MacBook Pro models by up to $300. If you’ve been planning to buy a MacBook, the ongoing Prime Day 2026 sale may be your last opportunity to buy one at the old-time pricing.

Seattle-based customer data startup Amperity conducted layoffs this week, the company confirmed to GeekWire, citing a transformation related to its use of more artificial intelligence. The company did not specify how many jobs were cut, only that “a number of talented people are leaving.” Amperity’s headcount remains over 200 globally in offices across Seattle, New York, the U.K., Australia and Argentina. “Amperity is transforming how it operates as a company, building AI into how we work across the organization,” a spokesperson said in an emailed statement. “That shift…

You’ll actually feel like you’re on the water as you flick on the touchscreen to glide across very pretty lakes and rivers, following along with a coach who chats you up and tells you when to relax and when to push.I was just logged in to Lake Lure in North Carolina, a place I have never heard of or considered going but which seems quite nice, actually. (It turns out Lake Lure is where they filmed Dirty Dancing, which is pretty cool.)The heart of the experience, for me, is the competition. You get a live feed of how other rowers…

An analysis of a popular Google Chrome ad block extension for YouTube has uncovered the ability to execute arbitrary JavaScript code. According to Island, the extension, named Adblock for YouTube (ID: cmedhionkhpnakcndndgjdbohmhepckk), has more than 10 million installs and carries a Featured badge on the Chrome Web Store. The extension description states that it allows users to prevent web page elements like ads, including preroll ads, from being displayed on the video sharing platform, as well as on external sites that load YouTube. While the add-on offers the promised functionality, it also features capabilities to run arbitrary JavaScript code. “It…

But I haven’t been able to let go of the idea that there must be something much deeper driving the backlash against them, and few other subjects have confounded me more than trying to figure out what to think about it.These facilities — the massive suburban and exurban warehouses that power AI, along…

NVIDIA Research has introduced SpatialClaw, a new training-free framework that significantly advances how AI agents tackle three-dimensional and dynamic spatial reasoning tasks. Unlike traditional approaches that rely on rigid structured tool calls or one-shot code generation, SpatialClaw allows vision-language model (VLM)-backed agents to use executable Python code as their primary action interface within a persistent, stateful environment. This design enables highly flexible, iterative, and adaptive reasoning about complex visual scenes. Spatial reasoning – understanding object positions, relationships, depths, movements, and interactions in 3D/4D environments – remains one of the most difficult challenges for modern VLMs. While these models excel at…

Secure software supply chain solution provider Chainguard Inc. today expanded its Chainguard Repository product with malware scanning, policy enforcement and visibility features that now cover Java packages, Python packages and container images. The update extends protections that previously applied only to JavaScript packages. Chainguard pitches the move as a way for security and platform teams to set guardrails once for an entire organization, so any artifact a developer or an artificial intelligence agent pulls already meets the company’s security and compliance bar. The expansion targets a problem the company says has accelerated alongside AI coding tools. Faster development has been…
