Finland's Onkalo nuclear repository, deep underground near Eurajoki, is entering its final regulatory stage. The facility is designed to permanently store 6,500 tonnes of spent nuclear fuel in copper canisters within 1.9-billion-year-old bedrock, with safety models extending 100,000 years.
Microsoft's GitHub faces repeated outages, leadership changes, and competition from newer AI coding tools, impacting its advantage in generative AI and posing a challenge for CEO Satya Nadella. Companies are exploring alternatives due to reliability concerns.
GitHub announced on its official X account that a malicious extension for Visual Studio Code compromised employee devices, leading to unauthorized access to internal repositories.

Eine ETH-Zürich-Studie hat erstmals systematisch untersucht, ob AGENTS.md-Dateien Coding-Agenten tatsächlich helfen. Die Forschenden nutzten zwei Benchmarks: SWE-bench Lite mit 300 Aufgaben aus elf Python-Repositorys und AgentBench mit 138 Aufgaben aus zwölf weniger bekannten Repos. Das Ergebnis zeigt, ob die von Anbietern wie OpenAI und Anthropic beworbene Methode tatsächlich einen messbaren Nutzen hat.
Finland is nearing the activation of a groundbreaking underground repository for highly radioactive nuclear waste, designed for permanent storage over tens of thousands of years. This facility, built deep beneath Olkiluoto, offers a multi-layered safety approach, isolating waste in stable bedrock. It represents a potential working model for other nations as they reconsider nuclear energy.
