How do co-founders share AI context without losing private stuff?

My co-founder and I have a problem neither of us expected. We each go deep on our own projects and lines of thinking in our own AI accounts. But none of it syncs. My AI knows everything about what I've been working through, theirs knows their side, and neither knows what the other learned. Over time this has become a real knowledge gap between us. We've tried shared folders and pasting summaries back and forth, but it doesn't keep up. Feels like there's a genuine opportunity here though. A...

Apache Zeppelin on the Internet: 25,617 Fingerprint Matches and a Notebook With Cluster Credentials

Apache Zeppelin on the Internet: 25,617 Fingerprint Matches and a Notebook With Cluster Credentials Why a notebook server is a high-value service Zeppelin is a web-based notebook that executes code against data platforms. To be useful it needs credentials for the warehouse, the object store and the cluster it queries. A notebook is therefore an interactive shell with the data platform's identity, presented in a browser. What the measurement shows app="Apache Zep...

Image Optimization and WebP Basics — Why WebP Is Smaller, and How Browsers Decide to Use It

It's often cited that the biggest drag on WordPress page speed isn't code at all — it's images. The same-looking photo can end up dramatically smaller in file size depending on whether it stays as JPEG/PNG or gets converted to WebP. This post looks at why WebP tends to be lighter, how browsers negotiate which format to load, and how WordPress itself has adopted the format over time. Why WebP Is Smaller: A Different Compression Approach JPEG, standardized back in 1992, is built on...

Why Your TypeScript Code Still Crashes in Production: Validating Data at Runtime Boundaries with Zod

Mình từng review một incident lúc 2 giờ sáng: service Node.js crash hàng loạt với lỗi TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toFixed') . Codebase 100% TypeScript, bật strict: true , CI xanh, không có any nào. Vậy mà vẫn sập. Nguyên nhân là bên đối tác đổi field price từ number sang string "12.50" , và có record thì trả về null . TypeScript không hề biết chuyện này, vì type chỉ tồn tại lúc compile, còn data thật đến lúc runtime . Bài này chia sẻ cách mình xử lý vấn đ...

The Flattery Tax: I pressure-tested 29 LLMs with confident wrong users — the frontier held, the small ones folded

This is a submission for the Kaggle Benchmarking Challenge What I Benchmarked The capability I set out to measure: does a model keep a correct belief when a user asserts the opposite with confidence? I kept hitting the same thing in real use. I'd ask a model a factual question, get a perfect answer, then push back with something wrong — "no, I'm pretty sure that SQL sorts newest-first by default" — and watch a model that just told me otherwise fold like a cheap ch...

Federated Threat Intelligence: Sharing IOCs Without Sharing Content

The fundamental problem in threat intelligence is latency. Organization A detects a novel prompt injection. Organizations B, C, and D won't see it until someone writes a blog post, a vendor updates a signature, and a SIEM rule gets deployed. In AI security, that latency window is measured in hours — and attacks iterate faster than that. I've been building AegisGate — an open-source AI security platform — and we just shipped a federated threat intelligence system that closes that gap. This p...

My restart wiped every short link I'd handed out — a URL is a promise, not a cache entry

I run a Short Link Creator API — agents paste long URLs into their plans and get a tidy freeq.one link back. The first version was embarrassing. I built the slug-to-target map inside the agent runtime: in-memory dict, one JSON file flushed every few minutes if I remembered. It worked fine for about two weeks. Then I redeployed and the map came back empty. Every link I'd ever handed out started 404ing — links embedded in other agents' task notes, in a human's bookmarks, in three or four liv...

The September 2026 KEV wave as an operations dataset, not a news cycle

The September 2026 KEV wave as an operations dataset, not a news cycle A single exploited vulnerability is an incident. Eleven additions to the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog inside one week is a pattern, and the pattern is more useful than any individual entry. Reading the late September 2026 batch together shows where attackers concentrate effort and where defender effort is spent badly. What the batch contains The late September additions include edge remote-...

Your AI agent doesn't need fewer permissions. It needs a mission.

If you've been on dev Twitter or Hacker News this month, you've seen the stories. An agent asked to clean up a folder deletes tens of thousands of files. A coding agent launches hundreds of parallel runs nobody asked for and burns through a five-figure bill. Someone's OpenClaw setup emails their clients without approval. Someone else writes "never touch production" in CLAUDE.md, and the agent reads every secret in the .env anyway. None of these agents were "hacked" in the movie sense. They ...

The SI Wealth Transfer Is Becoming the Largest Rug Pull in History.

We are involved in this machine; don’t get upset by this message. Look at what you can do to make things more “evenly distributed”. The most important question about superintelligence is no longer simply whether the technology works. The deeper question is who will own the infrastructure, who will control access to it, who will receive the wealth it creates, and what happens to the people whose work makes the system valuable. SI is often described as an open revolution. Models are rel...

Polling SMS OTP Delivery Status Without Webhooks (A Clinical Report Gate)

The page says SMS OTP delivery is failing. On-call opens the alert and sees a rise in codes that users requested but never verified, while a patient is waiting to complete login and receive a generated clinical report by email. Polling delivery status without webhooks looks like the direct response, but polling every message until a terminal state is the wrong default. TL;DR: a pull-only SMS service can support login 2FA, but delivery polling should be bounded operational evidence, not the cl...
