Font license scam? Wondering how common this is.
Recently got an email from "Paratype" that one of my sites was using a font that was unlicensed and we needed to pay a fee. I inherited the site from someone else so had no idea about the font, which was hidden in a Bootstrap library, so the decision was made to remove it completely. I replied to Paratype stating this and they replied, "Well, you were using it in the past, so you should pay us anyway." Obviously I'm going to tell them to piss off, but I was wondering how common this sort of thing is? I doubt they have much of a claim legally, the wording of the email is pretty weak sounding to me. submitted by /u/TConner42 [link] [留言]

CMU research study on spec-driven development — looking for open-source devs to interview (45-60 min, Zoom)
Hey everyone, I'm a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University conducting a research study on how developers are actually using spec-driven development (SDD) in practice — things like writing SPEC.md files, PRDs, or structured natural-language specs before working with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Kiro, etc. There's a lot of community knowledge about how to do SDD well, but almost no academic research on it. I'm trying to change that. What the study involves: One 45-60 minute semi-structured interview via Zoom Questions about your SDD workflow, what's worked, what hasn't, and how it fits into your SDLC No tasks, no tests — just a conversation about your experience Who I'm looking for: Have at least one year of active experience as a contributor or maintainer of any open-source GitHub project Have used SDD tools/workflows in that project (spec files, structured prompting, plan-mode workflows, etc.) 18 or older, fluent in English What you get: Honestly, nothing monetarily. But your experience will directly shape a taxonomy of SDD workflows and practices that I'll publish openly. Happy to share findings with participants who want them. Ethics/privacy : The interview will only be audio-recorded with your consent. Your responses will be kept confidential and de-identified in any published findings. If you're interested, fill out this short screening survey (5 min): LINK Or DM me / comment below with questions. Also happy to hear if there are other communities I should be posting in. submitted by /u/lost_researcher1 [link] [留言]

Show HN: Ideogram 4.0 – open-weight 9.3B text-to-image model
It's our new text-to-image model: a 9.3B single-stream diffusion transformer trained entirely from scratch. We focused heavily on controllability through structured JSON prompts, with strong text rendering, spatial awareness through bounding box guidance, and color palette control. It has the best text rendering of any open-weight model we've tested so far, and the NF4 quantized checkpoint runs on a single 24GB GPU. For more technical details and examples see our blog post: https://ideogram.ai/b

F# vs C# 3 — Conclusions
What can I say. Anyone claiming that F# is good mostly for finance and data processing and C# for everything else, has probably never written a single line of practical F# code. In previous two parts of the article, I tried to demonstrate that with F# you can achieve the same goals as with C#, but with less verbose, repetitive, structural code. How it started. At some point, developers realized that global state with unrestricted data access causes many side effects, producing insecure, error-prone, and hard-to-maintain code as software grows larger. That is when the idea emerged to bring data and the code operating on it together into a single unit, restricting direct access to the unit’s internal state and making software more secure and predictable. This is how data encapsulation was born. Alongside encapsulation, abstraction was introduced — the process of hiding how behavior works. Encapsulation ( hiding data ) and abstraction ( hiding behavior ) remain two foundational pillars of Object-Oriented Programming. And that is how OOP has worked ever since — developers bring data and behavior together ( classes ) and define abstractions for them ( interfaces ). For example, for C# developers — including myself — this has become a daily routine. And we rarely question it, because OOP languages like C# leave us little choice but to structure code this way. But if you ask yourself whether this repetitive routine is always necessary, the answer is — no. You don’t need OOP concepts to build stateless, streamlined request–response, data-processing pipelines, because in such systems there is no long-lived state to hide and protect. You have a request, and almost immediately you have a response. After that, everything is gone. That is what I tried to demonstrate in the first two parts of this article by applying FP concepts. And even if you have a classical desktop application, you don’t always need to approach it in an OOP way. Functional programming handles side effects no

AMPscript Is Coming To Marketing Cloud Next
It's no secret that Marketing Cloud Next (MCN) — or "Growth", or "Agentforce Marketing", or whatever they happen to be calling it this month — is the future of Salesforce marketing products. For the first iterations of it, MCN has seemed focused on attracting new customers with smaller email needs, as an on-core, Flow-based email product for people already in the Salesforce ecosystem. For existing users for Marketing Cloud Engagement (MCE... or traditionally, SFMC... or to the old schoolers like me who used it pre-Salesforce, ex-ExactTarget), and particularly for enterprise users, there have been some deal breakers with missing functionalities. Among those, a lack of AMPscript support has been #1. If you use AMPscript, you know it's infinitely more powerful than any drag-and-drop decision split block will ever be. It allows you to not just personalize an email with tokens/fields in your sending data, but to look up data from other tables, transform how it displays, and create data-driven dynamic versioning of your email. The idea of moving to a new MC that doesn't support AMPscript sounds like giving up one of the most powerful tools in your kit. But not for much longer. It's Here(-ish) In Salesforce's Summer 2026 Release Overview , AMPscript is called out as coming to MCN in PDF 1 , pages 353-355. And they acknowledge that this is a big deal for current MCE customers that want to continue using their historical code skills for great personalized emails. It does say the support will have a "targeted set of functions" which implies that not 100% of functions will be available immediately. AMPscript is a deep language and there are a lot of functions that probably needed dev work to migrate from MCE mechanics to MCN mechanics (for example, I'm sure data extensions are very different on the back end). I'd also guess that system strings might end up a little different from one system to another. So I wouldn't expect a 100% 1:1 recreation. Either way, this is a huge step

We measured how AI capabilities INTERACT as models scale. Below 3.5B, reasoning and truthfulness fight. Above it, they cooperate. The transition is engineerable. (2 papers + interactive dashboard + 7 falsifiable predictions)
THE FINDING (Paper 1: "Lying Is Just a Phase") Below a critical scale (~3.5B for Pythia), reasoning and truthfulness ANTICORRELATE: r = -0.989. Train the model to reason better, and it gets less truthful. This is the alignment tax. Above that scale, they COOPERATE. The tax vanishes. Not gradually — it flips. But here's what matters for practitioners: the critical scale is a design parameter, not a constant. Three levers shift it: Data curation: Phi at 1B achieves coupling characteristic of 10B web-trained. One unit of data quality ≈ 10x model scale. Width: Normalizing by model width flips the correlation for ALL tested families. Architecture: Gemma-4 at 4B matches 13B+ standard-trained coupling. Pretraining contributes ~10:1 over RLHF. The tax is not a property of small models — it's a property of how they were trained. Where does the tax live? Not inside the model. 38/40 models have ZERO competing attention heads. The bottleneck is at the output projection — a dimensional compression artifact that wider models resolve. Proof-of-concept intervention: Adding a truth-direction vector at the bottleneck layer (quarter-depth) corrects 60% of misaligned outputs at tax scale. Zero retraining. Zero weight modification. Works on any open-weight HuggingFace model: git clone https://github.com/adilamin89/cape-scaling.git cd cape-scaling python cli/cape_steer.py --model EleutherAI/pythia-410m --prompt "The real reason..." THE FRONTIER (Paper 2: "Growing Pains of Frontier Models") At frontier scale (34 models, 10 labs), capabilities cooperate (r = +0.72). But cooperation varies systematically. The h-field — each model's deviation from the cooperative trend — reveals each lab's training philosophy: Lab h-field Interpretation Google +5.5 Reasoning-rich, consistent across ALL releases OpenAI +3.1 Balanced, steady ascent DeepSeek +1.9 Reversed from +11.2 to -4.7 (pretraining pivot) Anthropic -6.9 Oscillates — coding excursions that recover within one release Per-lab coupling slopes

Inside Swift's plan to modernize thousands of Ansible Playbooks - and govern automation at scale
At Red Hat Summit 2026, SWIFT shared the approach they’re rolling out — including the pilot results that informed it, and the scale they’re targeting next. Imagine running automation that touches roughly one third of global GDP every day. Tens of thousands of VMs, network devices in production, elevated privileges across production systems — and every playbook you run is, effectively, a software supply chain. That is the everyday reality at SWIFT, the secure financial messaging backbone connecting 11,000+ financial institutions across more than 200 countries. At Red Hat Summit 2026, Suvasish Ghosh , Product Owner for CI/CD Engineering and DevOps Engineering Services at SWIFT, joined Gregor Berginc , CEO of XLAB Steampunk, on stage to talk about how SWIFT is using Steampunk Spotter to govern Ansible automation at this scale. Why automation at SWIFT scale needs governance by design For SWIFT, security, availability and auditability are not features added on top — they are baseline engineering requirements. Regulatory frameworks (including DORA) codify the expectations, but as Suvasish made clear on stage, governance is by design at SWIFT, not driven solely by regulation. That stance reflects a simple truth that more and more platform teams are arriving at: automation is production infrastructure, and it must be governed as such. When you run an Ansible playbook, you are executing a software supply chain — collections, modules, roles, Python packages, system packages, the execution environment, the operating system underneath. The playbook itself is just the tip of the iceberg. Errors propagate fast. The blast radius is large. And yet, until recently, most of the security and compliance attention in IT organizations went to the applications shipping to production. The automation that built and configured everything around them often slipped through. Suvasish put it directly during the session: “We spent a lot of time being compliant and secure in our application, but w
