This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built 🌿 What is FIELDNOTE? “The better you use FIELDNOTE, the less you need to look at your phone.” FIELDNOTE is a local-AI observation engine designed for the Hacktoberfest 2026 Week 1 “Touch Grass” Challenge. Rather than competing for your screen time with streaks, push notifications, and gamification, FIELDNOTE is an intentional physical instrument that prompts you to put your phone away, st...

Abstract: Developers often prefer flexibility over upfront schema design, making semi-structured data formats such as JSON increasingly popular. Large amounts of JSON data are therefore stored and analyzed by relational database systems. In existing systems, however, JSON’s lack of a fixed schema results in slow analytics. In this paper, we present JSON tiles, which, without losing the flexibility of JSON, enables relational systems to perform analytics on JSON data at native speed. JSON tiles a...

What resources (authors, podcasts, books, etc) do you follow to keep up with best practices, patterns, methodologies, for software development with AI? There is so much noise that I want to know a few trusted resources (especially authors) to follow to keep up with latest best practices (an example of an author in what I have in mind would be Simon Willison).

Quick Answer tokenization and BPE for .NET developers building LLM apps: Explore practical tokenization and BPE techniques for .NET developers building LLM apps, with Azure OpenAI integration, performance tricks, and production‑ready patterns. Token Budget Risks in Production When a .NET team ships a conversational agent or a RAG pipeline to production, the first thing that usually blows up is the token budget. A single request that exceeds the model’s context window triggers...

Most people test a phone backup on the worst possible day: the morning the old phone will not turn on, the new one is in hand, and there is no time to fix anything. Android's built-in backup is genuinely capable. The problem is that it is not one system — it is several separate ones wearing a single label, and each of them can stop working without ever telling you. These are the five places a phone backup usually breaks, in the order you tend to discover them while restoring. 1. T...

Most of the Replit apps I could find that founders had launched in public are already gone. I collected 126 of them from Hacker News, Replit's community forum, its gallery and its customer stories, and opened each one. Seventy-six no longer loaded. Of the apps posted in 2025, 51 of 66 were gone, and 74 of the 76 dead ones showed Replit's empty not-found page, which means they were unpublished or removed, not crashed. That's the quiet version of "my Replit app is not working." The loud version...

Last week I wrote about running my WCAG checker against gov.uk and finding that every one of the 72 "violations" was a bug in my checker. Fixing those left me with an engine I trust on real sites, packaged as a Chrome extension. But the people who most need an accessibility check right now are not people. They are coding agents. Claude Code, Cursor and friends generate a huge share of new HTML, and they ship <img> without alt , grey-on-white placeholders and outline: none just li...
