One YAML file starts your app, its database and the wiring between them. It also has a famous trap, because the app can come up first. Here is the file piece by piece, what depends_on really waits for, where your data lives, and when Compose stops being enough.

Curated picks with an honest take on each.
Apple AirPods Pro 3
New~$249
Best all-round buds right now — big ANC and battery jump — but the payoff is largely locked to iPhone.
Check price on AmazonSony WF-1000XM6
New~$300
The most technically accomplished buds of 2026; best-in-class ANC, price is the only real objection.
Check price on AmazonSony WF-C710N
New~$120
Half the price of the flagship with comparable ANC — the sensible mid-range pick.
Check price on AmazonSony WH-1000XM6
New~$450
The category benchmark — lighter and comfier than rivals, and foldable again after the XM5 dropped it.

Which card runs a model, what fits at your context length, and what it costs to rent — computed from each model's own config and live provider prices. Not opinion.
Manual, accept edits, plan, auto, don't ask, bypass: each one changes what Claude can do before it checks with you. Here is what Anthropic's docs say each does, how Shift+Tab moves between them, and where the safety lines sit.

Your Lovable or Bolt app got an admin check, and now every read of that table fails with error 42P17. The policy is reading the table it protects, so Postgres stops the loop. The fix Supabase documents keeps RLS on and takes one small function. Plus the three quick fixes that hand your data to anyone.

Apple's new Mac update ships a command called fm that talks to its on-device language model. No account, no API key, no install. I read Apple's own docs and WWDC sessions to find out what it can do, which Macs get it, and the numbers Apple left out.

Intel sells six Arc desktop cards today, from the 10GB B570 to the 32GB Arc Pro B70. I matched each one against 12 popular local models with our memory math, and found the cheapest 16GB Arc hiding in the workstation aisle.

The GitHub request to keep MoE experts in RAM is still open after 14 months. But since Ollama 0.30, llama.cpp's own fit step can park them there for you, as long as you leave num_gpu alone.

A 27B model that fits in about 6 GB sounds like a trick. It is ternary weights, a shared scale and a rotation. Here is how it works, what PrismML's own tests show, and where the loss hides.

The AI says it's done and the app runs. That tells you almost nothing about whether it's safe. Five checks, each a question you can ask or a screen you can open, on secrets, who's allowed in, user input, invented packages and errors.

A reserve email, a payout that keeps moving, a balance you can see but can't touch. What Stripe's own pages say each kind of hold is, how long it normally lasts, what to send when they ask, and how much cash a rolling reserve really ties up.

A 128GB Strix Halo mini PC and a 128GB Mac Studio give an AI model about the same 96GB to work with. One costs $3,449 at Framework's US store, the other $5,099 at Apple's. Here is what the extra $1,650 buys, and what it doesn't.

I mapped every Mac mini and Mac Studio Apple sells today, all 17 configs, against 13 popular local AI models. If your biggest model is 27B-class, the math says a $1,299 Mac mini holds what a $3,099 Mac Studio holds.

A 24 GB card runs Qwen3.8 27B at Q4 or Q5. Q8 needs 32 GB. The surprise is the context cache: 128K tokens costs about 8 GB, a quarter of what an older 32B model charges.

Your vibe-coded app added a table and Supabase now answers with error 42501. A new table can be locked before Row Level Security even runs. On 30 October 2026 that becomes the rule for every existing project. The one safe fix, and the two popular fixes that open your data to anyone.

Microservices split your app into many small programs that talk over a network. That fixes some problems and creates others. Here is the plain-English decision for a small team, what a modular monolith is, and what a saga is when one action touches two databases.
