Throughout the past month, I’ve been building a free guitar-learning site with interactive tools and blogs among other things. At present, it has hundreds of routes, and I needed something to test the pages before deploying. So I added a small Playwright workflow. It checks every route in the

If a report has all the expected sections and reads smoothly, does that make it a high-quality academic literature review? Not necessarily. A tidy structure and polished prose do not establish that the report has covered the core literature or accurately represented the field's scholarly disagreements. One Zhihu

Convex developers can now add a durable iMessage inbox and outbox to an agent backend with @spectrum-ts/convex, the new Convex component for Photon Spectrum. The component receives Photon webhooks, writes each verified delivery to Convex before returning an HTTP 200, and hands everything after that to Convex's

It's a widely held idea that learning is linked to memory. Reflecting on the years before LLMs, I have to confess: I didn't really remember a thing. When I started out as a coder, memory was everything. Memory, repetition, and a rapid feedback cycle. This is

There is an old joke that every developer knows in their bones. A non-technical person asks for a small change, “can you just add a button that emails the report,” and six days later you are still untangling why the report generation blocks the request thread under load. Nothing is

IEC 61850 is another one of those protocols that becomes more interesting the deeper you go. At first glance, it looks like another industrial protocol to dissect: identify the transport, decode the messages, enumerate the data model, and look for places where authentication or authorization is missing, but that description

Welcome to this learning Rust series where we will learn Rust by building one project per article and learn each and every concept in quite some depth. This is my new Rust series and it’ll much more comprehensive than my previous Rust series. For the first 5-6 articles, the

Tokens are the invisible unit that runs everything in AI, how models read your text, how they generate responses, and how much everything costs. If you have ever wondered why ChatGPT seems to forget things, why your Claude bill spiked, or why the same sentence costs different amounts in different

You are building an AI agent. You write a custom wrapper for your database. Then a custom connector for your REST API. Then another for kubectl. Then another for your file system. Each one hand-crafted, fragile, and tied to your specific agent. A colleague builds a different agent and starts

A firsthand look at what happens when real account memory, simulated tools, security-shaped hallucinations, and unreliable provenance all meet in the same AI application. A shorter, screenshot-free version of this research was previously published by SecurityBrief. This is the longer technical case study: the prompts, the model disagreements, the screenshots,

Every AI model runs on tokens. Every API bill is a token bill. Every context window limit is a token limit. Every speed difference between models comes down to how many tokens they process per second. Tokens are the single most important concept in generative AI, and most people using

September 1, 2026 — MemeBitcoin (MBTC), the Bitcoin-native project that turns the race to reach Satoshi's wallet into something anyone can join, has raised $8 million in a strategic round backed by Gemhead Capital, Archer Capital, M2M Capital and Mayer Venture. The round will fund the project's
