Here’s what that means, and why you should look into it. What’s MCP again? MCP, or Model Context Protocol, was proposed by Anthropic and is quickly becoming the industry’s standard interface between AI systems and traditional platforms.

Why is there a date of 1968 in the Intel Chipset Device Software Utility?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-29 13:14:50

The Intel Chipset Device Software Utility shows a date of 07/18/1968 because it is symbolic: Intel was founded on that date. The reason this date is used is to lower the rank of drivers in concern. This is necessary because it's a supporting utility that should not overwrite any other drivers. Updating these drivers is not needed. Do not worry if you don't have the latest version. The Intel® Chipset Device Software installs the Windows* INF files. An INF is a text file that provides the operat

It's time for modern CSS to kill the SPA

news.ycombinator.com Jono Alderson 2025-07-31 17:08:00

It’s time for modern CSS to kill the SPA Native CSS transitions have quietly killed the strongest argument for client-side routing. Yet people keep building terrible apps instead of performant websites. The app-like fallacy “Make it feel like an app.” At some point during the scoping process, someone says the words. A CMO. A digital lead. A brand manager. And with that single phrase, the architecture is locked in: it’ll be an SPA. Probably React. Maybe Vue. Almost certainly deployed on Verce

Tea, an app that lets women “rate” and “review” the men in their lives, has been on a hot streak lately, having shot to the top of the App Store and enjoyed several recent write-ups in major media outlets. Unfortunately, the app has now disclosed a data breach involving self-submitted user images.

UK’s New Age Verification Requirement Thwarted in the Simplest Way Imaginable

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-07-31 17:58:39

Earlier this week, the United Kingdom’s age assurance requirement for sites that publish pornographic material went into effect, which has resulted in everything from Pornhub to Reddit and Discord displaying an age verification panel when users attempt to visit. There’s just one little problem. As The Verge notes, all it takes to defeat the age-gating is a VPN, and those aren’t hard to come by these days.

Tesla Readies a Taxi Service in San Francisco—but Not With Robotaxis

Tesla has publicly staked its future on its robotaxis. Now the company is planning to launch a public car service in the San Francisco Bay Area. Tesla is calling it a “robotaxi” service, but legally, this one will have to use cars with human drivers. The plan appears to put the electric carmaker in murky legal waters in a US state with the country's most tightly regulated autonomous vehicle industry—and where Tesla is already being sued for misleading language around its driver assistance tech.
