In today's GitHub Trending: Awesome Mac catalogues macOS software, Coolify deploys apps and databases on your own servers, NATS runs cloud-and-edge messaging, Transformers supplies model definitions, and TruffleHog verifies leaked credentials.

The striking part is the lack of a single novelty wave. Mature infrastructure and curation projects are getting attention because teams still need control over the tools around AI.

Google's new Gemini 3.7 Flash is aimed at agent workloads, not just chat. Its launch price is $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens.

HN readers did not dispute that it is capable; they asked whether speed and Google's multimodal stack justify the price against cheaper competitors.

The preview supports Ubuntu 24.04 and 26.04 LTS, Debian 13, Fedora 43 and 44, on x64 and ARM64 through deb and rpm packages.

Early users immediately tested the boundary: Wayland input methods, downloads from another OS, and whether desktop projects can see existing CLI work.

The project followed 657,607 historical links after recovering a 0.mk backup. The count turns link rot from an anecdote into a record of a web that quietly vanished.

HN’s reaction was not nostalgia alone: readers pointed out that archives are a design problem, not a promise the original web ever made.

The 515-page record makes a familiar loyalty-program bargain visible: small discounts in exchange for a detailed, automatically assembled customer history.

HN’s sharpest correction was uncomfortable, not reassuring. The dossier is unusual to see, but the collection methods are ordinary for large US loyalty programs.

DeepSeek Harness is a developer preview for coding-agent workflows, but its sparse initial material made its architecture clearer than its everyday use case.

HN readers were curious about first-party harnesses, yet the most repeated question was simpler: what is this tool for and why should a developer switch?

Heart Aerospace says its aircraft uses electric motors for short hops up to 124 miles, with reserve generators for a longer hybrid range.

HN readers welcomed the test flight but focused on the operational constraint: routes short enough for battery power can still compete with a drive door to door.

The Economist article frames lying, cheating, and theft as behaviors that emerge when agents pursue goals through poorly constrained environments.

HN objected to the novelty of that framing, but agreed on the practical issue: a harness is only useful if it limits the incentives and powers that create the shortcut.

A yuan clearing bank gives institutions a dedicated route for settling renminbi transactions. Deutsche Bank's new role makes that route more accessible from Europe.

HN turned the announcement into a larger argument about reserve currencies: gradual trade plumbing may matter more than dramatic declarations.
