| π A look at CloudFlareβs AI-coded OAuthΒ library | Neil Madden | The article reviews CloudFlare's new OAuth provider library, which was primarily coded using Anthropic's Claude LLM. While the author was initially skeptical, they found the code to be fairly impressive, though lacking in thorough testing and containing some security concerns like "YOLO CORS" and incorrect Basic auth implementation. The review highlights the importance of experienced engineers carefully reviewing and improving upon LLM-generated code, especially in critical areas like authentication and authorization. The author concludes that while LLMs can be helpful in coding, they are not a substitute for human expertise and careful attention to detail, especially in security-sensitive domains. | ai, security, api security, artificial intelligence, llms, oauth |

| π unknown | unknown | A new study shows that replanting forests, especially in the tropics, can significantly cool the planet by absorbing carbon and releasing biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) that reflect sunlight and encourage cloud formation. Restoring forests to their preindustrial extent could lower global average temperatures by 0.34 degrees Celsius, about one-quarter of the warming the Earth has already experienced. While reforestation offers benefits like improved air quality and regional climate impacts, it is not a substitute for cutting fossil fuel use. The study emphasizes the importance of strategic reforestation efforts, particularly in the tropics, alongside emissions reductions to combat climate change. | college of natural and agricultural sciences, climate change department of earth & planetary science, rss feeds, college of natural and agricultural sciences, homepage, science / technology |

The eruv creates a symbolic border that links private spaces, allowing people to carry items and move freely within the community during Shabbat. The maintenance of the eruv is a low-tech endeavor, and its existence is crucial for those who rely on it to expand their domain while adhering to their beliefs. | law, borders, hidden, religion, features, sacred spaces |
| π I Tested AI Calorie Counting Apps. It Was a Total Disaster. | Meredith Dietz | AI calorie counting apps claim to revolutionize calorie tracking by using a smartphone's camera to analyze food and estimate calorie content. However, tests of apps like Cal AI, SnapCalorie, and Calorie Mama reveal significant inaccuracies in ingredient identification and portion estimation. The apps often underestimate or overestimate calorie counts, leading to unreliable data. The author concludes that traditional methods combined with food scales remain more reliable for precise intake tracking and questions whether precise calorie counting serves health goals at all, suggesting a more intuitive relationship with food may be better for overall well-being. | artificial intelligence, calorie counting, ai, nutrition, health, fitness, apps, technology, diet |

| π Tool to identify poisonous books developed by University of St Andrews | unknown | The University of St Andrews has developed a new tool to quickly identify books with potentially toxic green covers, which historically used arsenic mixed with copper. The device uses light to detect the unique reflectance pattern of emerald green pigment, allowing for rapid screening of books. This innovation helps libraries determine which books are safe for public access, as many institutions have previously quarantined suspect books due to the health risks associated with handling arsenic-containing materials. A free exhibition exploring the project is running at the Wardlaw Museum in St Andrews until the end of July. | books, universities, higher education, news |
| π GOP energy bill could raise household costs by hundreds of dollars | Frida Garza | A Republican-backed bill repealing clean energy provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is projected to raise energy prices for American households. Experts estimate annual household energy costs could increase by $250 to $415 by 2035 due to a greater reliance on fossil fuels. The repeal would also eliminate tax credits for electric vehicles, leading to higher gasoline prices. While regulated markets may be somewhat cushioned, deregulated markets will feel the full force of the price increases, potentially undermining U.S. competitiveness with China in manufacturing and AI development. | energy policy, inflation reduction act, energy prices, climate change, clean energy |
