Die Mehrwertsteuer auf Frauenhygieneartikel wurde mit 1.1.2026 gestrichen. Und wie reagieren die Handelskonzerne darauf? Unterschiedlich. Zum Teil sind die Preise sogar gestiegen:

Trotz Steuersenkung: Preise teils gestiegen
AK-Preisbeobachtung zeigt: Entfall der Mehrwertsteuer auf Frauenhygieneartikel wird nicht von allen Händlern weitergegeben.

💥 I did a drawing that breaks down Transformers in AI

Spent a good amount of time on this one, breaking down concepts in a way that someone new to the subject could come away with basic high-level understanding. I hope it's useful!

Our industry loves to create problems in the name of innovation only to turn around and sell you a solution to the problem we just created.

Do you like a free tool? Send money.

Do you use a tool at work? Convince your employer to sponsor it. Stop marketing OSS as free stuff to your employer, and treat it as a cost for the company.

You only endanger the OSS project, if you don't give something in return.

Our new preprint on DUSP4 in cancer is out. In vivo ARTi studies show DUSP4 loss doesn’t cause tumor regression and triggers fast compensatory reactivation. These results challenge DUSP4 as a monotherapy target. Link to preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
DUSP4 knockdown in BRAF V600E mutant colorectal cancer induces cell cycle arrest and halts tumor growth
Oncogenic signaling in cancer cells is essential for proliferation, and its disruption, either through inhibition or overactivation, can provide therapeutic opportunities. Dual specificity phosphatase 4 (DUSP4), a negative regulator of the MAPK pathway that dephosphorylates ERK, has been proposed as a potential target; however, its therapeutic relevance has not been evaluated in vivo. In this study, we show that DUSP4 knock-down induces G1 cell cycle arrest and reduces proliferation in BRAFV600E-mutant and BRAF inhibitor-resistant colorectal cancer models, both in vitro and in vivo, and induces a rapid DUSP5-mediated adaptive response. While treatment achieved tumor stasis indicating disease control, it did not yield tumor regression, suggesting that DUSP4 may have limited efficacy as a monotherapy target in cancer. ### Competing Interest Statement All authors are full time employees at Boehringer Ingelheim RCV.

It's vibe coding only if you don't know what you're doing. A software engineer using AI to speed up development isn't vibe coding. Someone who's never developed anything and doesn't know how AI generated code works is vibe coding.

Today, we published a security release for @nodejs.org that fixes a critical bug affecting virtually every production Node.js app.

If you use React Server Components, Next.js, or ANY APM tool (Datadog, New Relic, OpenTelemetry), your app could be vulnerable to DoS attacks.

❓"When can we expect this feature"

Please refrain from asking this question towards open source maintainers. You generally shouldn't "expect" anything. I don't often agree with DHH but his take on OSS being a gift, not something you're entitled to, is something I relate with.

I've integrated Mistral AI models in my little coding agent harness pi and am happy to report that Devstral 2.0 is a good agentic model. Somewhere between Sonnet 4.0 and 4.5. It's also OSS and self-hostable.

Europe is back, baby!

I pointed Amp with the oracle and Opus 4.5 at a vulnerable React and asked it to find the remote control execution issue without googling and it found it very little help. In fact, it found more than one way to exploit it. Really, really cool.

The year is 2013:

- password managers worked
- you could get most TV content from one or two streaming services
- you could paste links into chats and previews would actually unfurl correctly
- google results contained actual search results

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Most of what we call "tech" is about getting the right information into a database and trying to prevent the wrong person from reading or updating it.

Here is why I consider AI agents nothing more than software. I'm talking specifically about the pieces of software that do things in a pipeline to complete a task. Let's take booking a flight to Vancouver as an example task.
