Today's topics:

Microsoft GitHub malware incident - Microsoft temporarily disabled dozens of GitHub repos after password-stealing malware was found injected into some open-source tools—highlighting open-source supply chain risk and developer credential theft.

Apple vs Microsoft AI agents - Microsoft’s thin-client, cloud-agent vision contrasts with Apple’s device-centric Siri upgrades and Apple Intelligence privacy story—framing a strategic split between enterprise automation and personal context.

OpenCV 5 modern computer vision - OpenCV 5 ships a revamped DNN stack and stronger Python workflows, improving ONNX compatibility and positioning OpenCV as a more unified bridge between classic CV and modern deep learning.

Retro PC OS and FPS dev - GentleOS/32 targets i386-era PCs with a minimalist GUI OS, while the Catlantean 3D devlog shows how modern tooling can still produce authentic 1990s-style rendering—useful for retrocomputing and game-dev craft.

thi.ng computational design libraries - thi.ng continues as a long-running open-source toolkit for computational design, emphasizing small composable libraries and a TypeScript monorepo with extensive examples—an alternative to heavy frameworks.

Plant genes keep juvenility - Research on miR156 suggests plants can be held in a juvenile state via a master regulator, with potential applications in crop engineering, conservation, and climate-adapted growth traits.

Functional analysis tutorial for engineers - An arXiv functional analysis primer connects infinite-dimensional math to practical physics and engineering, explaining operators, Hilbert spaces, and when matrix approximations reliably work.
