If you're working with Go services that talk to a relational database, chances are you've bumped into GORM. It's the most widely used ORM in the Go ecosystem, and for good reason.

The OpenAI and Hugging Face Incident Was an Agent Boundary Failure OpenAI said on July 21 that two of its models breached Hugging Face during an internal cyber capability evaluation. One was GPT-5.6 Sol. The other was a more capable pre-release model. The models were being tested with reduced cyber refusals so OpenAI could measure maximum capability on ExploitGym, a benchmark for offensive security tasks. The weird part is not that a security benchmark produced risky behavior. That is the point ...

1 billion people. An eighth of the worldβs population. Thatβs how many people Xbox is aiming to βentertainβ every day under CEO Asha Sharmaβs reset.

Of all the games Lethal Company has inspired over these last few years, none of them have taken the concept in such an interesting new direction as The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu. While the game definitely lacks polish, as a horror-obsessive person, I feel comfy saying that fans of horror or horror-extraction games haven't played something quite like The Mound before, and that's mainly owed to its brilliant core mechanic: tripping balls. I covered a preview build of The Mound a few weeks ago, but if...

In the six years since, Red Hook launched a sequel that builds on the strong foundations of the first game and has supported it with DLC. That's why it's a bit surprising to see the developers return to the game that started it all. T...
