From the sources

SafeDep vet is a tool for identifying risks in open source software supply chain. It helps engineering and security teams to identify potential issues in their open source dependencies and evaluate them against organizational policies.

SafeDep helps teams detect malicious packages, protect AI agents, and govern open source risk across developer machines, CI/CD pipelines, and production workflows.

Scan and govern your dependencies across every PR and build. Block malicious packages at install-time, before they enter your codebase. Generate AI-enriched BOMs using real code evidence, not just manifests. Monitor every AI coding agent action across your projects and workflows. Attackers don't target your code. They target what you install: packages, MCP servers, IDE and agent extensions. SafeDep blocks malicious packages at every entry point, before they run. SafeDep analyzes every package published to the major registries, around the clock. Our research team publishes the breakdown, often before the ecosystem has an advisory. Third-party code arrives at every hand-off in your pipeline,…from safedep.io

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
