As of today, the price of the 16GB version of the Raspberry Pi 5 is going up by $100, a price bump that’s almost as much as the original $120 price tag. Driven by the ongoing RAM shortage, Raspberry Pi is raising prices on over a dozen of its bare-bones computers, after previous increases in December and February. The increases range from $11.25 to $150.
In a blog post announcing the price increases, Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton reiterated that they won’t be permanent, stating, “The circumstances in which we find ourselves are challenging, but in the future they will abate. When they do, we will reverse our price increases, and until they do, we will continue to work hard to limit their impact in every way we can.”
To potentially soften the blow of the price hikes, Raspberry Pi also announced a new version of the Raspberry Pi 4 with 3GB of RAM available starting today, priced at $83.75. Raspberry Pi models with 4GB or more of memory have been impacted the most by memory price surges. Upton also notes that it’s not an April Fools’ stunt, adding, “Notwithstanding today’s date, our new computer is as real as the rest of our products.”

My most common advice for junior researchers
Written quickly as part of the Inkhaven Fellowship . At a high level, research feedback I give to more junior research collaborators often can fall into one of three categories: Doing quick sanity checks Saying precisely what you want to say Asking why one more time In each case, I think the advice can be taken to an extreme I no longer endorse. Accordingly, I’ve tried to spell out the degree to which you should implement the advice, as well as what “taking it too far” might look like. This piece covers doing quick sanity checks, which is the most common advice I give to junior researchers. I’ll cover the other two pieces of advice in a subsequent piece. Doing quick sanity checks Research is hard (almost by definition) and people are often wrong. Every researcher has wasted countless hours
Open Source Project of the Day (Part 27): Awesome AI Coding - A One-Stop AI Programming Resource Navigator
<h2> Introduction </h2> <blockquote> <p>"AI coding tools and resources are scattered everywhere. A topically organized, searchable, contributable list can save enormous amounts of search time."</p> </blockquote> <p>This is Part 27 of the "Open Source Project of the Day" series. Today we explore <strong>Awesome AI Coding</strong> (<a href="https://github.com/chendongqi/awesome-ai-coding" rel="noopener noreferrer">GitHub</a>).</p> <p>When doing AI-assisted programming, you'll face questions like: which editor or terminal tool should I use? For multi-agent frameworks, should I pick MetaGPT or CrewAI? What RAG frameworks and vector databases are available? Where do I find MCP servers?

How to Use the ES2026 Temporal API in Node.js REST APIs (2026 Guide)
<p>After 9 years in development and countless TC39 meetings, the JavaScript Temporal API officially reached <strong>Stage 4 on March 11, 2026</strong>, locking it into the ES2026 specification. That means it's no longer a proposal — it's the future of date and time handling in JavaScript, and you should start using it in your Node.js APIs today.</p> <p>If you've ever shipped a date-related bug in production — DST edge cases, wrong timezone conversions, silent mutation bugs from <code>Date.setDate()</code> — you're not alone. The <code>Date</code> object was designed in 1995, copied from Java, and has been causing developer pain ever since. Temporal is the fix.</p> <p>This guide covers <strong>how to use the ES2026 Temporal API in Node.js REST APIs</strong> with practical, real-world patter
Axios Hijack Post-Mortem: How to Audit, Pin, and Automate a Defense
<p>On March 31, 2026, the <code>axios</code> npm package was compromised via a hijacked maintainer account. Two versions, <code>1.14.1</code> and <code>0.30.4</code>, were weaponised with a malicious phantom dependency called <code>plain-crypto-js</code>. It functions as a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) that executes during the <code>postinstall</code> phase and silently exfiltrates environment variables: AWS keys, GitHub tokens, database credentials, and anything present in your <code>.env</code> at install time.</p> <p>The attack window was approximately 3 hours (00:21 to 03:29 UTC) before the packages were unpublished. A single CI run during that window is sufficient exposure.<br> This post documents the forensic audit and remediation steps performed on a Next.js production stack immediatel
