the brief
Today’s pulse leans practical: Pyodide’s new WASM wheel path lands and immediately powers real releases like luau-wasm, tightening the browser-Python loop. Agent stacks keep professionalizing with Addy Osmani’s agent-skills and Headroom’s token-shrinking MCP proxy, while an open Notebook LM alternative surfaces. Outside the stack, a Honda firmware key snafu and state AGs probing OpenAI underscore risk and regulatory pressure.
