Title: YouTubarr: Open-Source “Sonarr for YouTube”—Track & Automate Channels and Playlists
Description: Missed episodes are a thing of the past! YouTubarr is a new open-source tool to automatically monitor YouTube channels or playlists, fire webhook actions (downloaders, Discord, etc.), and lets you filter by regex, set update intervals, and sync with YT subs. Designed after the popular *arr automation suite.

Title: All-in-One Productivity Apps Are Here—AI-Native Capture & Task Automation
Description: Two new launches target the “capture tax” of standard productivity apps. Tudu uses an AI-first natural language box to sort tasks with zero hassle, while another free Android app (“Habit Tracker—To-Do List”) unifies note-taking, habit logging, and smart scheduling, all on-device. Both aim to finally defeat the to-do app churn.

Title: portracker 1.1.0: Open-Source Dashboard for Live Port & Service Discovery Gets Major Upgrade
Description: Portracker now delivers better security (no host networking needed), in-UI service renaming, true network map, deep container details, global search, and full port visibility—ideal for devs monitoring self-hosted stacks. Docker deployment is dead simple; new features for bulk operations and caching included.

Title: Merged: Breakthroughs in Robot Learning from Human Tool Use and Cellular Plasticity
Description: Recent research on “Tool-as-Interface” leverages natural human tool-use videos to teach robots complex tasks far faster and more robustly than classic teleoperation—bridging the “embodiment gap” for real-world skills. Meanwhile, a new bio-inspired cellular plasticity model lets modular robots dynamically self-organize, outperforming static designs in tricky environments. These advances push robotics toward more human-like adaptability and generalization.

Title: “Transformers for Robotics? New Papers Question AI Hype and Push for Embodied Intelligence”
Description: Two hot new publications challenge the rush to use GPT-style transformers in robotics, arguing hardware limits and biology-inspired design still outshine, especially for real-world, resource-constrained autonomy. Also: new frameworks for embodied intelligence promise smarter, more adaptive robot communication and control.

Title: Cutting-Edge Nano-Medicine Reverses Age-Related Bone Loss in Mice—AI-Driven Insights?
Description: “EM-eNMs” nanomedicines target stem cell mitochondria to rejuvenate and reverse osteoporosis in aged mice. While not directly AI, their effect highlights the rising interface of biology, advanced materials, and eventual AI-guided therapeutics.
