The Duo is out next week, so Darius fired up the simulator to try the Device Posture and Viewport Segments APIs (both available behind a flag). Using Video.js components and CSS, he tried to recreate Netflix's folded-player UI, but Apple's fullscreen restrictions made things a tad interesting.
Qwen-Image 2.1 NSFW/pose image-generation skill: author-level prompt recipes + NSFW LoRA + VNCCS doll control for 136 poses; suitable for Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / OpenClaw
I wanted my humble Claude on mobile to access my WhatsApp messages but the only options I could find either required WhatsApp Business or an actual server to run Baileys on. I wanted to run it for free on ClaudeFlare and with my personal WhatsApp account, so I built this. Important feature - it connects to your Google account as well as WhatsApp to grab the names of all your WhatsApp contacts, otherwise you get only phone numbers for many of them and search doesn't work properly. This is a single user install because it's both gray area and very private - so point your agent at the repo and let…
Maybe David Bushell saw the writing on the wall, as the Deno team isn't joining Cloudflare to keep working on Deno, but to fold celld into workerd so Durable Objects can be self-hosted (more on that here). The Deno runtime will get a final year of official fixes, Deno Deploy closes in six months, and JSR moves to Cloudflare's infrastructure.
Based on Google's Skia graphics engine, it produces results similar to Chrome's own canvas. GPU accelerated and can render images, paths, fonts, shapes, etc. both to static images and live in a native window. v4.0 is faster, lighter, and adds native PDF loading. GitHub repo.
Tesla unveiled its second-generation Roadster sports car on Thursday by having the vehicle launch itself up a curved ramp into a controlled landing. It later leapt over five other Tesla vehicles while twisting in the air. The car is scheduled to enter production in 2028. Tesla has yet to release a price tag. The Roadster can go from a stop to 60 miles an hour in about one second, and it has a top speed of over 230 miles an hour.
The increasingly popular full-stack framework for React and Solid goes stable, bringing typed server functions and streaming SSR to apps deployed on Node, Bun, Cloudflare Workers and other targets. Here's how it compares to Next.js.
This is a weekly collection of technology content worth sharing, published on Fridays. ...
Lea shows how to insert and tweak icons without touching any HTML, using --icon custom properties, @property, style queries, and mask. The result? A pure CSS icon system that’s “more flexible and maintainable than what you've been using”.
Git designed for AI agents.

bun check is a port of TypeScript 7's checker that reads your tsconfig.json, reports the same errors as tsc and, Jarred claims, runs 3-6x faster. It plugs into bun run/test/build too. Idle server processes now use far less CPU, and a JavaScriptCore upgrade picks up numerous perf gains.
▶ The NodeConf EU 2026 Talks — NodeConf EU took place in Italy a few weeks ago and the talks just dropped onto YouTube today, covering topics from Node's new FFI features and Emscripten and WebAssembly to V8 heap management and performance profiling.
Muse Spark Open is an 816-billion-parameter open-weight model that can run on relatively affordable consumer hardware. Meta's benchmark tests used a pair of M5 Ultra Mac Studios with an unknown memory configuration. The model uses a mixture-of-experts design and activates 42 billion parameters for each token. It supports a context of up to 1 million tokens and accepts text, images, video, and audio, but only outputs text.
The full-stack framework is officially stable and production-ready, supporting both React and Solid. It has already been used on millions of apps during its beta/RC phase. As its 𝕏 launch video puts it: "Feels like building a SPA. With the whole server behind you".
Back for a second year, Firefox's ranker lets you sign in with GitHub, compare and rank the Interop 2027 proposals. Jake Archibald says last year’s findings (taken from ~1,900 rankings) helped “prioritise a lot of work this year”, so it's worth having your say.
We're rebuilding and open-sourcing the world’s software from scratch.

📊 WebSocket Servers in JavaScript: Node.js vs Bun vs Deno — It's great to see a win for Node 26 with uWebSockets.js here, with its results getting close to C's low levels of latency, ahead of Bun and Deno.
Amazon has launched AWS Lambda Web Functions, a way to run standard HTTP apps (using Express, Hono, Fastify, etc.) on Lambda without needing to rewrite your code around an event handler.
Google Quantum AI has demonstrated that 'magic state cultivation' works in practice on its Willow processor. Magic states help researchers create the operations they need for going beyond classical computing. Creating high-quality, error-corrected magic states is incredibly resource-heavy. This post details how Google Quantum AI created a magic state cultivation protocol that achieved a 40-fold reduction in errors. The breakthrough is a crucial step towards scaling up quantum computing to practical use.
Ben measures how far ahead Chrome, Firefox and Safari fetch lazy-loaded media. He also shares what we can lazy load (including video and audio in Chromium browsers), and covers where lazy, eager and fetchpriority fit.
Your TV, minus the ads. Debloat any Android TV over ADB and give it a clean, tvOS-inspired launcher. Built in an afternoon with Claude Code.

A prolific JavaScript developer explains why he dropped Astro and now builds his personal site, styling and markup included, with Apple's Swift language.
Training an AI model fundamentally requires lots and lots of examples of something being done correctly. Creating this data for training robots is expensive, and companies need a lot of data to train competent models. Large language models showed the benefits of scale when training models. Researchers are now working hard to gather enormous amounts of robot task training data in the hopes of seeing the same sort of trends with robotic capabilities.
A free, open source C# framework for making games, or your own game engine. Direct access to native APIs and Vulkan, with the low-level libraries around them. The foundation under Kitten Space Agency and RimWorld's Waylith engine.

A quick look at a new way to make tiny JS-powered desktop apps we featured a few weeks ago.
Developers are using Claude to debug hardware issues. AIs can read thousands of lines of USB capture, notice sequence repeats with one byte changing, make suggestions on what that byte means, and write the tests to confirm its suggestions. A human is still required to decide what to build and check that the fix runs on real hardware, but AI takes away a lot of the slog. The post includes a link to a harness with a small set of tools that help with reverse engineering Linux drivers.
A fun, practical look at using Chrome’s new out-of-order HTML streaming (known as declarative partial updates) to let the browser assemble nested comment threads for you. Chromium-only, but exciting.
Turn your regular JavaScript code into a neural net.

🤖 OpenCode 2.0: A Big Update for the Open Coding Agent — A full-featured agentic coding app, built on Bun, that's more akin to Claude Code than Pi, say. v2.0 overhauls it with background subagents, a 'code mode' to let models script MCP tool calls, and clients for vanilla JS and Effect code to drive it.
An embeddable IMAP server for testing mail clients, with in-memory mailboxes, extensions for numerous IMAP features, and scripted 'faults' to test robustness. Runs inside your tests or can be driven from other languages via a REST API.
Tech companies are building internal vibe-coding tools for non-engineers. It's not that complicated, it gets higher adoption than vendor products, and it helps build out more AI intra expertise in-house. Building an internal vibe-coding tool is a tiny investment that can result in better, more custom tools than with vendor products, and companies don't have to wait on vendors to build what's needed. It's also a lot safer to expose internal data sources to internal tools.
