Blue Origin rocket grounded after satellite 'mishap' (3 minute read)
The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded Blue Origin's newest rocket to investigate a 'mishap' that involved the failed launch of a satellite. The rocket was used to place a satellite from AST SpaceMobile into orbit, but it missed its mark, and the satellite was unable to get as far into orbit as intended. Blue Origin claims the failure was caused by a lack of sufficient thrust in an engine. The investigation findings will determine when New Glenn can be launched again.

Humble emerges from stealth with $24M and a cableless autonomous electric truck built to go dock-to-dock (4 minute read)
Humble is a San Francisco-based autonomous freight startup that just emerged from stealth with a $24 million seed round. The company's fully electric, cabless freight vehicle, the Humble Hauler, is built for 40-foot and 53-foot shipping containers. It has no driver's cab, allowing the company to fit 360-degree sensor coverage, free up payload capacity, and enable a fundamentally different vehicle geometry. The Hauler can operate dock-to-dock, delivering directly to the destination and unloading rather than dropping a trailer off at a handoff point.

Despite being in beta, TypeScript 7.0 is highly stable, highly compatible, and ready to be used in daily workflows and CI pipelines.

Agents with Taste (6 minute read)
Coding agents don't quite know what great feels like when it comes to visual work like animations. One way to get around this is to create a skill file for each aspect of an interface. Describe the rules of what 'great' feels like in that context and give that to agents so they can follow them. This results in AI that has the taste and knowledge to produce significantly better results.
