AWS pricing for Kiro dev tool dubbed 'a wallet-wrecking tragedy'

news.ycombinator.com Tim Anderson 2025-11-18 14:40:44

AWS has introduced new pricing for Kiro, its AI-driven coding tool, but unlike the pricing originally announced, the latest plans are "a wallet-wrecking tragedy," according to many of its users. "Kiro's spec-driven AI IDE is a gem," said open source PHP and Laravel engineer Antonio Ribeiro on GitHub, "until I saw your new pricing." AWS introduced Kiro last month as a fork of Code OSS (also used by Visual Studio Code) with a distinctive approach to AI coding assistance, based on specifications

Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-11-18 18:39:42

A recent ruling from Germany’s Federal Supreme Court (BGH) has revived a legal battle over whether browser-based ad blockers infringe copyright, raising fears about a potential ban of the tools in the country. The case stems from online media company Axel Springer’s lawsuit against Eyeo - the maker of the popular Adblock Plus browser extension. Axel Springer says that ad blockers threaten its revenue generation model and frames website execution inside web browsers as a copyright violation. T

Ella Watkins-Dulaney Microbes are so small that tens of thousands could fit in the space of the period at the end of this sentence. And yet, for two of the most widely studied kinds — S. cerevisiae and E. coli — we know their weight with remarkable precision: A single yeast cell weighs about 100 picograms and a single E. coli bacterium weighs about one picogram, or 60 million times less than a grain of sand. At first blush, measuring the weight of a single cell seems an impossible task. How ca

The Mandarin Strikes In Hasbro’s Newest Marvel Legends Reveal

The Mandarin is one of Iron Man’s oldest foes, with a history in the comics as long as it is fraught. But while the character has been adapted multiple times over the course of the MCU—first more controversially with Ben Kingsley’s Trevor Slattery character in Iron Man 3, then as Tony Leung’s Xu Wenwu in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings—and earned himself a few action figures from Hasbro inspired by those appearances along the way, the toymaker has yet to bring a comics version of the v

With a background as a US Congressman, reality TV star, and television commentator, Duffy did not come to the position with a deep well of knowledge about spaceflight.

Apple’s Always On Display has been fairly consistent since it debuted on iPhone 14 Pro. With iOS 26, Apple has quietly changed how it works in a way that may not be obvious. Always On Display modes Instead of simply dimming your Lock Screen wallpaper, the system now blurs it by default.

Scientists discover surprising language 'shortcuts' in birdsong – like humans

Scientists have uncovered a hidden pattern in birdsong that mirrors a core rule of human language. A new study, led by researchers at The University of Manchester, in collaboration with Chester Zoo, found that birds appear to follow Zipf’s Law of Abbreviation (ZLA) – the idea that more frequently used sounds tend to be shorter. This rule, found in all human languages, helps make communication more efficient. The findings, published in the journal PLoS Computational Biology today, offer new ins
