GitHub's AI-powered Spark lets you build apps using natural language - here's how to access it

zdnet.com Webb Wright 2025-12-29 16:32:26

Bloomberg / Contributor/Getty Software development company GitHub's AI-powered app-building platform Spark is now available for public preview to Copilot+ Pro subscribers, the company said Wednesday. First unveiled at GitHub's annual Universe conference in October, Spark allows users to design and launch "micro apps," or "sparks," through natural language prompts. For example, a developer might instruct the system to build an app that summarizes reviews of and provides personalized recommendat

Hackers compromised Toptal's GitHub organization account and used their access to publish ten malicious packages on the Node Package Manager (NPM) index. The packages included data-stealing code that collected GitHub authentication tokens and then wiped the victims' systems. Toptal is a freelance talent marketplace that connects companies with software developers, designers, and finance experts.

Simulating the Future: The Role of Digital Twins in Transportation Planning Q&A with Dr. Anu Kuncheria

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2026-01-02 05:00:35

Digital twins—virtual models that simulate real-world city dynamics—are transforming urban transportation and mobility planning. These intelligent systems integrate real-time data, machine learning (ML) algorithms, and transportation research to optimize citywide solutions. By simulating traffic patterns, travel demand, and road dynamics, cities can make informed, equitable decisions that benefit all residents. Yet, critical questions arise as urban areas embrace these artificial intelligence (A

Reverse engineering GitHub Actions cache to make it fast

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-02 11:17:43

Before this work began, we already had a faster alternative to Github Actions cache. Our approach was different: we forked each of the popular first-party actions that depended on Actions cache to point to our faster, colocated cache. But my coworkers weren’t satisfied with that solution, since it required users to change a single line of code. Apart from the user experience, maintaining these forks steadily turned into a nightmare for us. We kept at it for a while, but eventually reached an in

Apple and Google face new rules governing how they run their smartphone software and app stores in the UK, as Britain’s antitrust agency looks to impose new European-style controls on the Big Tech companies. The proposed interventions could trim fees of up to 30 percent that Apple and Google charge for digital transactions through their mobile app stores, as well as prevent them from designing their systems to favor their own apps and services.

Trump’s Cabinet Is Cashing in on Crypto

See How ‘M3GAN 2.0’ Built Itself a Bigger, Better M3GAN

For better or worse, M3GAN’s sophomore outing in M3GAN 2.0 brought with it much more action-packed mania than the killer-doll horrors of the original. That, and of course the awkward inconvenience of M3GAN’s body being destroyed in the climax of the first film, meant her return for round two needed a mechanical do-over… including a few upgrades for good measure. Now that M3GAN 2.0 is heading home digitally today, you can see just how the team behind the movie made those upgrades to make the all
