Android Developer Verification Rollout Begins Ahead of September Enforcement
Google on Monday said it's officially rolling out Android developer verification to all developers to combat the problem of bad actors distributing harmful apps while "hiding behind anonymity." The development comes ahead of a planned verification mandate that goes into effect in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand this September, before it expands globally next year. As part of this

Ask HN: Academic study on AI's impact on software development – want to join?
Would you like to participate in a study on AI’s impact on software development? We are researchers at New York University and City, University of London conducting an interview study on how new AI tools are changing the work of software developers. We are looking to speak with developers of all seniority levels, including those in leadership roles, who can share their experiences and perspectives on using (or choosing not to use) AI in their day-to-day work. Interviews will last 45 to 60 minutes and take place via Zoom. Participants will be asked about their workflow, AI tool usage, and how their role has evolved over time. All responses will be kept confidential and used for academic research purposes only. Research participants need to be based in the U.S. If interested, please fill out this brief form so that we can contact you: https://nyu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cHkvoczxgtaLLo2 Thank you!

Show HN: Postgres extension for BM25 relevance-ranked full-text search
Last summer we faced a conundrum at my company, Tiger Data, a Postgres cloud vendor whose main business is in timeseries data. We were trying to grow our business towards emerging AI-centric workloads and wanted to provide a state-of-the-art hybrid search stack in Postgres. We'd already built pgvectorscale in house with the goal of scaling semantic search beyond pgvector's main memory limitations. We just needed a scalable ranked keyword search solution too. The problem: core Postgres doesn't provide this; the leading Postgres BM25 extension, ParadeDB, is guarded behind AGPL; developing our own extension appeared daunting. We'd need a small team of sharp engineers and 6-12 months, I figured. And we'd probably still fall short of the performance of a mature system like Parade/Tantivy. Or would we? I'd be experimenting long enough with AI-boosted development at that point to realize that with the latest tools (Claude Code + Opus) and an experienced hand (I've been working in databa
