New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: 2x PHP RCE CVEs with CVSS 10.0 Incoming

Tell HN: 2x PHP RCE CVEs with CVSS 10.0 Incoming 196 by petecooper | 30 comments on Hacker News. A reliable source has indicated an announcement is scheduled for 22 October 2026 at 18:00 CEST regarding 2x PHP RCEs with a CVSS score of 10.0. I have no evidence beyond "source: trust me, bro", but if you're running PHP in production, be ready to update as a priority. These CVEs reportedly relate to remote code execution in all affected PHP versions from PHP 5 onwards. These are the two reserved CVEs for the reported upcoming announcement: CVE-2026-109618 CVE-2026-109619

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Is Wikipedia going to be obsolete soon?

Ask HN: Is Wikipedia going to be obsolete soon? 2 by piratesAndSons | 2 comments on Hacker News. Recently they began showing a download-our-app ad at the top of the site, and it made me wonder: is the website going away soon? Wikipedia was a fixture of the Web 2.0 era, but now websites are changing. Chatbots are taking massive traffic from websites. Young people don’t like reading text; they prefer watching videos and listening to podcasts. Websites are seen as the old way of doing things, which is why Wikipedia has begun building its own app, since Gen Z is trending this way.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How to deal with shipping AI-written code you don't understand?

Ask HN: How to deal with shipping AI-written code you don't understand? 3 by rzk | 9 comments on Hacker News. I saw this LinkedIn post from a Meta engineer and it resonated with me: https://ift.tt/LQdziJw > I'm an engineer at Meta and I never felt this uncomfortable doing my job. I'm writing code these days and it all feels like a black box. This new standard of shipping with AI is moving so fast that if we're going to spend our time checking each line of code, it's going to take forever. That means you can end up with systems you've built where you don't truly understand how all the code works. You understand the high level, but not every detail. And maybe this is becoming the new standard. It goes against every instinct of being a software engineer. I'm used to understanding what I'm building. Now I'm trying to figure out how much I need to understand before I'm comfortable moving forward. Are other engineers feeling this too? How are...
