Hibana is an affine MPST engine for Rust (no_std/no_alloc core). Write a global choreography, project it at compile time, and run affine cursors that enforce deadlock-free protocol progression. Process: define a Program, emit a RoleProgram via g::project, then execute; the compiler enforces protocol compliance. Each step is a linear resource; you cannot skip, reuse, or drop mid-flight. Transport-agnostic bindings keep I/O separate. Deterministic observability with a dual-ring tap and an EPF VM for hot-reloadable policies (BPF-inspired). Demos include hibana-quic and hibana-agent; license MIT/Apache-2.0; status: preview.

An Insignia NS-MW09SS8 microwave began turning on the lamp, fan, and turntable by itself, with the magnetron off. The root cause was aging blue LED display reverse leakage that, via a shared microcontroller pin, made the MCU think the door was open. This misread door status triggered the lamp relay and, through the board’s interlocks, powered the lamp/fan/turntable even when the door was closed. Fixes included adding a diode to block leakage and reworking the display circuit; replacements turned into a custom module of discrete LEDs. The vulnerability is worse with blue displays; avoid shared GPIOs for LEDs and critical sensing.

Apple today released iOS 26.3, iPadOS 26.3, and macOS Tahoe 26.3, focusing on bug fixes and security improvements. The updates patch dozens of vulnerabilities, including a dyld dynamic linker memory-corruption flaw that could let an attacker execute arbitrary code and has reportedly been exploited in targeted attacks on pre-iOS 26 devices. Apple says the issue was fixed with improved state management. Users are urged to update to the latest versions as soon as possible, along with fixes across other platforms.

Ring’s new AI feature “Search Party,” shown in a Super Bowl ad locating a lost dog, has sparked backlash over potential mass surveillance. Critics warn it could be used to track people, given Ring’s ties to law enforcement, the new Familiar Faces facial recognition, and partnerships with firms like Flock Safety. Ring says Search Party detects dogs, is opt-in for Familiar Faces, but is enabled by default on outdoor cameras with Ring’s subscription, and data sharing is limited to owners or legal requests. The debate highlights worries about pervasive neighborhood surveillance.

Lifehacker explores how the FBI got Nancy Guthrie’s Nest doorbell footage. Though authorities said the camera was disconnected, FBI Director Kash Patel said the clip came from residual data in backend systems, with few details. Experts suggest the footage could come from Google’s cloud or from on-device event histories saved without a subscription (Nest can store limited clips—up to 10 seconds on some models, up to 3 hours on others). The piece emphasizes uncertainty and privacy concerns, noting there’s no definitive answer yet on how the footage was reconstructed.

NetNewsWire celebrates 23 years and reports that NetNewsWire 7.0 for Mac and iOS has shipped, with 7.0.1 in progress to address post-release fixes. Brent Simmons’ retirement has sped up work. Roadmap: 7.1 will fix and improve syncing; 7.2 TBD (UX polish or other); 7.3 undecided, contingent on 7.1/7.2 results and WWDC developments. Tickets may be added or removed as needed. The post emphasizes looking forward to the best versions yet.

Claude Code’s 2.1.20 update replaces file reads and pattern searches with a single summary, stripping file paths and patterns. Users demand inline paths or a toggle; Anthropic says it reduces noise and points to verbose mode as a fix. Verbose mode dumps extensive thinking traces and sub-agent transcripts, not the needed info. Despite calls to revert or add a toggle, the approach edits verbose mode rather than revert; readers argue for a simple boolean toggle as easier than more output.

Open-source is a strategic architectural decision, not a distribution hack. It pays off only if it clearly helps the product win—faster adoption, stronger defensibility, lower risk, or better monetization. Start with users: technical users want inspectable code and self-hosting; buyers want reduced risk and auditability. Test federation: user=contributor vs stadium where a core team guides. Federation yields network effects and winner-takes-most; stadium allows multiple winners. OSS fits well-understood problems, but demands governance, explicit extension points, and a defined OSS wedge and paid boundary. Hosting is not revenue. Decide before coding.

Martino Comelli argues that welfare states shape financial markets through policy design, not the level of spending. Funded pensions and housing subsidies create investable assets, while generous pay-as-you-go pensions crowd out institutional finance. The Swedish puzzle and Netherlands show reforms can spur deep markets; elsewhere Germany, France, Japan, and Korea rely on insurance. He identifies three clusters: pension-led liberal economies; insurance-driven systems; high public-pension states with shallow finance. Across clusters, welfare design, not spending, explains finance depth. It was never just finance. It was always your pensions.

Revised federal data show virtually no hiring in 2025: the BLS says 181,000 jobs were added that year, far less than 2024’s 1.46 million. In January 2026, payrolls rose by 130,000, unemployment at 4.3%. Health care led gains (137,000); manufacturing +5,000; leisure/hospitality +1,000. Revisions erase 862,000 jobs from 2024-25 and show four contraction months in 2025. Powell said last year’s figures overstated hiring by about 60,000 per month. Markets priced in a rate cut not before July.

Fluorite is a console-grade 3D game engine fully integrated with Flutter, enabling Dart-written game logic and multiple 3D views via FluoriteView, with shared state between game Entities and Flutter UI. It uses a data-oriented ECS core in C++ for performance on embedded hardware while exposing Dart APIs for familiar development. It supports Blender-defined touch trigger zones to emit onClick events for spatial UI, uses Google's Filament renderer with Vulkan for high-quality rendering, lighting, post-processing, and custom shaders. Hot Reload enables rapid iteration; more features planned.

Machiel Reyneke argues the modern longevity movement is a “vampire disclosure program.” Tracing parabiosis from 1864 to Stanford 2005 and Berkeley/Harvard work, he shows blood-based rejuvenation was framed as science, not myth. He profiles Peter Thiel and Bryan Johnson as contemporary vampires: Thiel’s Ambrosia funding and Palantir ties; Johnson’s plasma exchanges with his son and public self-tracking. The key twist: new research suggests benefits come from diluting old blood factors rather than adding young blood, reframing vampirism as dialysis. The piece warns about poor operational security among these figures and a staged disclosure timeline.
