Discover how geothermal power generation, enhanced geothermal systems, and advanced drilling technologies could supply reliable electricity for AI data centers

How do we moderate AI when harmless prompts can combine into malicious projects? The next challenge is understanding intent, not just content.

Should you pentest in staging or production? Learn the key differences, risks, and best practices for safer, effective penetration testing.

Andrii Bondar on building mobile apps with AI coding tools as a product designer. DecentWealth as the example of a fintech app.

Optogenetics revolutionized neuroscience, but its origins come from an entirely brainless organism—an alga.

America PAC’s approach has been unusual: for every dollar it has spent supporting GOP Senate candidates, it has spent almost three dollars attacking Democrats.

At a recent event for security firm NordVPN, NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal revealed that he got hacked—and warned the public about the need to “have control of their own information.”

Tropical Storm Isaias is set to become the basin’s first hurricane of the season, bringing life-threatening rain and storm surge to the Gulf Coast.

Getting in on the Prime Day action doesn’t have to result in an empty wallet. Just as we found a couple handfuls of goodies that are under $25, there are plenty of deals during Amazon’s October sale that are $50 or less, many of which offer a lot of practical value. Everything from chargers to […]

A common misconception I've seen with Googlebooks is that the Quick Insert and Google logo keys are new. They're not, as they first debuted a couple of years ago on some Chromebooks. But there is something new for Googlebooks that's ripped straight from Android phones circa 2014. On every Googlebook keyboard, the F1, F2, and […]

Teenage Engineering founder and CEO Jesper Kouthoofd told Highsnobiety that it plans to stop making synths. And yes, that includes the iconic OP-1, which put the company on the map. TE isn't just a music gear maker; it's also a sought-after design firm. It's collaborated with Ikea, Nothing, and Playdate, among others. But almost everything […]

While much of the automotive world sits dumbfounded as China gobbles up all its customers, BMW continues to roll out extremely well-crafted, technologically advanced electric vehicles that impress in both drive quality and price. The latest is the BMW iX4, a coupe-shaped SUV that puts a sportier spin on the automaker's iX3. The iX4 is […]

Microsoft revealed the specs and price for its Surface Laptop Ultra, AI PCs that run on Nvidia chips that are designed to run AI models and agents.

The developer of Hermes Agent raised a $90 million Series B.

Endeavor Catalyst just raised $320 million to keep backing founders outside Silicon Valley. Half the profits go back to the nonprofit that finds them.

The startup pays people to record everyday tasks.

Short answer: use staged retrieval with explicit collections, bounded queries, and source context that survives all the way into the citation. For a travel itinerary planner, I would reserve a small, fixed budget for lexical discovery, a second budget for vector retrieval, and a final budget for citation assembly. The planner should return fewer grounded listings rather than wait indefinitely for a larger unverified set. The system in this article aggregates listings from several sources. Tha...

Developers, what’s your take on Upwork in fall 2026? Are you finding solid projects at reasonable rates? Is it worth joining as an experienced engineer with no track record on the platform? I’m a Full-Stack Engineer with 9+ years of experience in React/Next.js, Node.js, AI integrations, and automation.

The QR Generator API was supposed to be the boring one in my toolkit: POST a string, get an image back. No parsers, no pagination, no file formats. It turned out to have the most physical-world failure mode of anything I run. A few weeks after I packaged it ( https://x402.freeq.one/tools/qr_generator.html ), an agent building conference tickets embedded my QR codes straight into a PDF layout — flush against the ticket art, no padding. On my preview page every code scanned instantly. On the pr...

The Quest Begins (The "Why") I was grinding through a mock interview when the interviewer tossed me a problem: “Given an unsorted array, return the k‑th largest element.” My first instinct? Sort the whole thing and pick the element at index len‑k . Easy, right? But then I felt that nagging voice in the back of my head — “What if the array is huge? Sorting is O(n log n) and we only need one element.” I remembered a late‑night debugging session where I spent three hours staring at a timeo...

For years, WordPress has been the obvious answer to one question: “How do I get a website online?” But I started asking a different question: “What should a developer portfolio look like in an AI-native world?” That question is why I’m moving MartinsAI from WordPress to EmDash by Cloudflare . And no, this isn't another “WordPress is dead” article. WordPress isn't dead. It remains one of the most successful publishing platforms ever created. The problem is that my requirements have c...

TL;DR: Give the web application a cheap health endpoint, record job_success , job_failure , and last_run for each notification worker, and use an external heartbeat for failed-job detection. For a logistics notification service, that is the least complex design that catches both visible delivery failures and the nastier case: a worker or cron task that never started. Retain enough evidence to compare a release with its predecessor, but don't keep every payload. Rollback safety comes from pr...

Treat recipient suppression as a durable compliance decision, not as a flag buried inside an SMS provider. For every scheduled fintech alert, resolve the recipient against an internal, append-only suppression ledger immediately before dispatch; record the policy version and evidence used; then accept delivery events asynchronously and idempotently. This preserves an explanation for why a message was sent or withheld even after a provider, phone number, or retention policy changes. Short answ...

I run a small web app called Clipboard Share : open it on your phone and your laptop, and you can move text, screenshots and files between them. The one thing I wanted from day one was no pairing step . No account, no six-digit code, no QR scan. If two devices are on the same Wi-Fi, they should just find each other. This post is how that "room" works, with the actual code from the repo. Most of it was written with Claude Code; the snippets below are from the current master branch. ...

Why this post exists I have two product ideas and, this time, I'm refusing to build either of them first. Both ideas sit next to strong free tools. Building first and hoping for payments later is exactly how I ended up with finished products and zero orders before. So each idea gets one honest waitlist page, a public signup threshold, and a deadline. If the count isn't reached by October 31, the idea is closed and everyone who signed up gets an email saying so. Signing up is just an em...

Most HEIC converters start the same way: "Upload your photos to continue." It feels harmless — until you think about what you're handing over. HEIC is the default photo format on iPhones, so the pictures people convert most often are exactly the sensitive ones: family photos, IDs, receipts, medical documents, screenshots of boarding passes. When you upload a file to a converter server, three things happen that most people never consider. First, you lose control of retention. Many services kee...

The model race today is mostly about generation: longer context, prettier answers, stronger reasoning. But if you actually run agents, the thing that bites you usually isn't "generates poorly" — it's "decides too slowly." Every step an agent takes requires choosing the next action. If that choice also runs the full token-by-token generation pipeline, both latency and cost climb — a single "which button" can burn hundreds of tokens. CLM (Contrastive Language Models, 2913 stars, Apache-...
