Apple courts developers with privacy and context in AI comeback bid

At its 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple offered a vision of how to integrate AI with its products that stands out for its sobriety, responsibility, and plausibility. In contrast to the job-killing, security-breaking, human-replacing hype promulgated by the likes of Anthropic and OpenAI, company execs dialed down their usual superlative-laden effusiveness to convey how AI tools can actually help software developers, as well as those using Apple products. Capabilities like Safari's...

AI is getting expensive, but relief is on the way - just not for you

VoidZero Is Joining Cloudflare

VoidZero, the company behind Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vite+, is joining Cloudflare. As part of this change, all team members of VoidZero are joining Cloudflare, too.

ZAS-SQL: Distilling Rules from Failures for Zero-Shot Text-to-SQL

new Abstract: Text-to-SQL translates natural language into executable SQL queries. Few-shot in-context learning methods built upon large language models (LLMs) achieve strong performance, yet their reliance on demonstrations limits cross-domain generalization and consumes substantial context window space. Existing zero-shot methods, lacking effective generation constraints, still fall short of few-shot approaches.

Self-hosted dev sandboxes with preview URLs (Docker, Go, no K8s)

The open-source engine for AI app-builder products. Give every user an isolated cloud dev environment, a built-in coding agent, and a live preview URL — self-hosted, on one machine, in one command. Think of the apps where you type "build me a todo app" and seconds later a working website appears at its own link — like Lovable, Bolt, v0, or Replit. sandboxed is the open-source backend that makes that possible, running on your own server.

Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI?

I've made a number of ceramic molds for slumping fused glass into bowls. As well as wooden templates for ceramic mugs. I've devised a few carrying tools to move glass frit paintings from my studio down to my barn where the kilns sit without spilling the glass.

Angry devs vow to flee GitHub Copilot as metered billing takes hold

Developers seem to hate Microsoft’s new usage-based billing policy for GitHub Copilot as they report burning through a month's worth of credits in hours. “This is a staggering shift from a 'predictable subscription' to a 'stressful meter-based' service that hinders my productivity rather than helping it,” wrote one developer on GitHub's user forum who said they were paying for Microsoft's $39-per-month Copilot Pro+ plan but burned through about 8 percent of their monthly AI Credits...
