A practical case study on condition-based maintenance, vibration monitoring, and production planning in a high-load 22-hour printing operation.

This week on “Uncanny Valley,” we discuss where Elon Musk’s PAC is spending millions, the latest ideology Trump claims is dangerous, and the backlash against the designer behind Muse’s logo.

Documents obtained by Democracy Forward show that ICE looked into feeding voter roll data into the ELITE tool, normally used to identify targets for deportation.

The California State Athletic Commission sent a cease-and-desist letter to a startup that hosted a match between a human and a robot last month, as reported by The New York Times. The fight, which took place on September 18th, pitted a human, Frankie LaPenna, against a humanoid robot owned by a tech startup, Rek, that […]

Apple is set to introduce a new MacBook Pro with a touchscreen and an updated iPad Mini "on or around" October 27th, Bloomberg reports. If true, that would put the event just two weeks after the October 13th event Apple announced today, which is rumored to focus on smart home products. Bloomberg says that the […]

It's already possible to get AMD's framerate-enhancing FSR 4 boost on handhelds as old as the Steam Deck - but in June, AMD reserved the right to disappoint handheld gamers by not officially bringing FSR 4 to older handhelds. Now, AMD consumer chip boss Jack Huynh says he will bring the tech to some handhelds […]

SpaceX has acquired a portfolio of low-band spectrum licenses - a move the company says "will pave the way" for its Starlink Mobile service to become a "major" US carrier. When the Federal Communications Commission signs off on the deal, SpaceX says it will deploy its new architecture that combines its satellite-to-mobile constellation with a […]

Anthropic's offering to help open-source projects track down security vulnerabilities with a new service called OSS Scanner. It says open-source projects that opt-in will get "thorough, periodic security scans by our strongest models at no cost." That could mean open-source projects get alerted about possible security issues sooner, but the trade-off is that OSS Scanner's […]

The United States' execution of the Fort Hood shooter will be livestreamed, anonymous officials from the Defense Department told the BBC and Associated Press. The planned execution of Nidal Hasan, the former US Army major convicted of killing 13 people at the Texas military base, was announced this week. He is scheduled to be executed […]

Three fired OpenAI safety researchers dispute allegations of mishandling sensitive information, warning in an open letter that their dismissals are creating a chilling effect on the company’s AI safety culture.

With over a thousand emails, slides, texts, and documents from the United States v. Elizabeth Holmes trial, Extend engineer Bo Lau created a website that simulates what it might have been like to rifle through the Theranos founder's desk.

Together, the awardees have donated nearly $6 billion to efforts tied to Trump and his administration.

While testing a voice-to-structured-document workflow on an NVIDIA DGX Spark, the Hermes Agent consistently failed to trigger the specific voice-memo skill, opting for the default memory tool instead. This post details how I implemented custom gateway hooks to force correct skill invocation and output validation. Background The setup involved a Telegram-based voice interface connected to a Hermes Agent (v0.20.6) running on a DGX Spark. I used a host-side whisper.cpp server ...

Agents and retrieval pipelines want Markdown, not binary office files. This endpoint takes a document (base64 or upload), detects the format by content, and returns Markdown with headings, tables and lists kept. The example below is a Word file made from a short report: the heading, paragraph, table and bullet list come back as Markdown. Request curl (an x402 client pays the 402; shown without the payment header) curl -s -X POST https://tanod.dev/v1/docs/to-markdown ...

TL;DR: For a small property-management SaaS, start with a hosted API that accepts application-emitted metrics and structured logs, then build the few custom charts the operations team actually uses. This is the least complex route when nobody wants to own Prometheus storage, scrape configuration, Grafana provisioning, or Kubernetes. Attribute every event to a property portfolio and pipeline run from day one; otherwise the dashboard can show that spend increased, but cannot tell you which workloa...

TL;DR: For a startup login flow, begin with a hosted SMS OTP API. It removes code generation, expiry, replay defense, and verification storage from the application. Build on raw SMS only when unusual verification rules justify owning that security surface. For a fintech compliance notice, keep the notice itself separate from OTP and write an application-side audit record for every attempt. Path Who owns the OTP template and verification state? Pick it when Main trade-off ...

I built Quick Image Kit as a small browser-local image toolkit: quickimagekit.com The product is intentionally practical. Many people do not need a full photo editor. They need to make a phone photo small enough for an upload form, profile page, email attachment, document portal, school system, job application, or favicon package. The design constraint is simple: the image should be processed in the browser where possible, so the original file does not need to be uploaded to a processing...

Hồi trước team mình từng có một sự cố khá kinh điển: payment provider chập chờn khoảng 30 giây, và trong 30 giây đó service của bọn mình gửi 4 lần request charge tiền cho cùng một đơn hàng. Lý do là có 3 tầng cùng retry: SDK của client, service gọi API, và cả job queue phía sau. Không tầng nào sai nếu xét riêng, nhưng gộp lại thì thành thảm họa. Sau lần đó mình rút ra một điều: retry không phải tính năng "thêm vào cho chắc". Làm sai thì nó còn nguy hiểm hơn là không retry gì cả. Bài này mìn...

Two months ago I added barcode symbologies to what had been a plain QR endpoint — code128, EAN-13, UPC-A. My test suite verified the images rendered and that my phone could decode them. It never occurred to me to ask whether the number was valid. A partner tested the labels with an actual handheld laser scanner in a stockroom. Every EAN-13 I'd generated beeped back 'invalid read'. Same image file that my phone camera app decoded without complaint. The root cause is embarrassingly simple:...

Anthropic has launched OSS Scanner , a free opt-in vulnerability-finding service for eligible open-source projects. The program periodically uses Anthropic's frontier-model capabilities to examine enrolled codebases, then provides maintainers with model-generated reports that can include a reproducer, an explanation of the issue and a suggested patch. For businesses that depend on open-source software, the initiative could strengthen the security work available to important upstream projects, w...

CSS already has plenty of useful functions, like calc() , min() , max() , and clamp() . They let you build more flexible styles without repeating the same logic. CSS custom functions let you take this idea a little further. The @function at-rule lets you define your own functions, pass them values, and return a result that you can use in your styles. Syntax Before we build anything, let's quickly look at the basic syntax: @function --function-name ( --par...

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is becoming the standard for AI-tool integration. Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf — they all use it. The protocol is well-designed. The official SDKs give you transport, routing, and session management. What they don't give you is security. This post is the technical deep-dive into AegisGate MCP — a standalone MCP server framework with 22 security layers, zero external Go dependencies, and a vendored neural ML inference pipeline. We'll cover the architec...

Before U1ai, I worked on an ambulance. Emergency medicine teaches you quickly that communication isn't a courtesy. It's triage. Every call starts with questions: Where does it hurt? What happened? Can you hear me? Every answer changes what you do next. And sometimes there are no answers. A patient who can't speak. A patient who can't hear you. A patient whose way of communicating doesn't fit the script you've been trained to follow. In the back of that ambulance, with the lights flashin...

I maintain Agent Brain Hub , an open-source memory layer that several AI agents share. Last release I added real embedding models, and recall on my benchmark went from 88.5% to 100%. Then I wrote a harder test, and the model fell over on something any keyword search gets right. The failure A customer has twelve shopping conversations, one per order: My order ORD-48200 for a blue backpack hasn't arrived yet My order ORD-48201 for running shoes hasn't arrived yet … My orde...

A registry of hand picked/built registry of ui/ux components so now i can produce slop without ai. i always loved using and searching for ui components on every registry site that popped on my feed. i collected and saved all of these components but wanted to actually to build something thats more unique, free and easy to use. i was hooked by ASCII components and my main focus was building also some of them and the results are really appealing (feedback is always appreciated), although i am worki...
