news.ycombinator.com Matt Sayar 2025-11-25 10:36:06

One of Anthropic's quieter releases recently was their "Security Review," where Claude Code can identify and fix security issues in your code. But how good is it really? In my case, will it find issues with code it helped me write for my newsletter service and Chrome extension? The release states it uses a "specialized security-focused prompt that checks for common vulnerability patterns." After throwing so much compute at model training, LLMs are nearing the top of the S-Curve, so finding ways

Kerry Wan/ZDNET I've been fairly vocal recently that Samsung's One UI 7 is my favorite Android skin. It is fast, responsive, and intuitive. But nothing comes fine-tuned to your experience straight out of the box. You need to personalize your smartphone to make it more appealing.

Indigenous knowledge meets artificial intelligence

Suzanne Kite’s AI art installations, for example, model a Lakota framework of data sovereignty: intelligence that emerges only through reciprocal, consensual interaction. Unlike systems that assume user consent via opaque terms of service, her kinetic machines require the viewer’s physical presence—and give something back in return. “It’s my data.

The Insta360 Antigravity A1 is a new 360-degree FPV drone from a spin-off brand called Antigravity. The A1 includes a drone, OLED Vision goggles and a Grip motion controller — it’s more of a set. The drone has two ultrawide cameras that can capture 8K video, and it uses stitching algorithms to make the drone invisible in the final footage.

Oxford University is immersed in the past like no other place I’ve seen. One example: when I was a visiting student at Oxford in 2005, I remember meeting two students at a pub one evening. They were drinking ivy-laced beer. The reason, I was told, is that centuries ago, a student from Lincoln College had murdered a student of Brasenose. Ever since then, Brasenose students had been allowed into Lincoln and given free beer once a year. Here’s the event back in 1938: The actual truth behind “ivy
