Google may be expanding its "Call for Me" AI feature beyond business calls so you can use it to send messages to friends and family. Android Authority reports finding a "Gemini Calling" introductory screen in an APK teardown with examples that include "Call Mom and tell her I will be 15 minutes late" and "Call […]

I wired up a live job search endpoint expecting the hard part to be the search. It wasn't. The hard part was that the market sells the same job five times. My demo query was "python developer" + remote. Thirty results, and four were the same Berlin fintech requisition — indexed by three aggregators plus the company's own board, each with a mangled title ("Sr. Python Dev", "Senior Python Developer (m/f/d)"), different scraped snippets, different dates. Naive fixes failed fast: exact ti...

Travis Turner closed the first day of Rocky Mountain Ruby with a term I hadn't heard before: ontological shock. It's what happens when something new fundamentally disturbs your sense of being, and he argued that programmers are feeling it right now. The worries about job duties, tooling, and job security sit downstream of it. The next afternoon, Alan Ridlehoover used the same phrase in the closing keynote to describe his own work. By then it felt like the name for the whole conference. ...

Over a couple of weeks working on our team's Docker setup, I hit what looked like six unrelated failures. A password rejected by Postgres. A connection refused. A port already allocated. Another password rejected, again. Another connection refused, again. By the fourth or fifth one, I noticed something: every single error, despite looking different on the surface, traced back to the exact same root cause. None of them were bugs in the application. All of them were configuration disagreeing with ...

After CVE-2026-104286: A Compromise Assessment Plan for FortiMail Start from the exploitation window CVE-2026-104286 is a CVSS 9.8 path traversal in Fortinet FortiMail that allows unauthenticated file writes through crafted HTTP or HTTPS requests. Fortinet reports exploitation in the wild, and CISA added the issue to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on October 1, 2026. If the management interface was internet-reachable, assume the window applies and investigate rat...

Most social media automation tools promise the same things on their landing pages: a visual content calendar, an AI caption assistant, suggested best times, and analytics reports. The real differences only surface when you dig into how they bill you, how well they support platforms like X and LinkedIn, and whether they can automatically recycle your best posts. To make this comparison concrete, we use a fixed example setup throughout: 3 social media accounts managed by a team of 3 people who dra...

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built Apps that tell you to go outside have an obvious flaw: you have to open an app. Fridge Forecast moves the whole thing onto paper. Once a week, you export your calendar and run one command. It finds the free windows in your week, checks the forecast for each, and prints a one-page card for the fridge showing the best times to go outside and what to do with them. After that, t...

Duck AI vs ChatGPT comes down to a single trade you have to make up front: anonymity or capability. Duck AI (DuckDuckGo's duck.ai ) gives you six models with no account, no server-side chat history and stripped metadata; ChatGPT gives you a stronger default model, unlimited free text chats and a far deeper feature set in exchange for an account and a data relationship. Verdict: Duck AI wins free, private, multi-model chat. It needs no sign-up, removes your IP address before prompts reach p...

Jump height tells you how high an athlete went. Jump power tells you how much work it took to get there. The second number depends on something the video cannot see: how much the athlete weighs. That sounds obvious. In a busy testing session, it is easy to get wrong. Picture a coach running a squad jump test on one phone. Ten athletes, one after another. Before this update, SpeedTrackr used the coach's own body weight for jump power unless the coach retyped a new weight for every athlete. ...

TL;DR: Logistic regression made simple: sigmoid, probabilities and maximum likelihood, with a real diabetes prediction example anyone can follow. Logistic regression is a supervised machine learning model which is built on the linear regression formula that which is why it is called a regression model. This model is mainly used for classification tasks where the goal is to predict the probability that an instance belongs to a given class or not. Logistic Regression is a statistical algorit...

🌿 PlantCare AI — Take a Photo. Understand Your Plant. Go Touch Grass. This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built Most gardening and plant diagnostic apps have a counterproductive design pattern: they try to keep you glued to your phone. Between endless scrolling forums, chat feeds, locked paywalls, and invasive notifications, the experience often pulls you away from nature rather than connecting you with it. ...

A character is not made memorable by a long biography. The decisions it repeats under pressure are what players remember. That is the idea behind this Mochi piece. The Mochi demo has personality everywhere, but not through a ten-page biography. It roasts your commands. It remembers repeated orders. It can befriend a creature instead of fighting it. It has opinions about being used as talent while you make bad decisions from the booth. That is the character. Players will get attached ...

If you sell to the US government, SAM.gov is where the opportunities are: solicitations, sources-sought notices (RFIs), presolicitations and awards. Searching it by hand every day is slow. The official API looks like the answer until you find that a personal API key allows only about 10 requests a day. Here's how to get every open opportunity in your NAICS codes as a clean spreadsheet, and then as a daily feed, without an API key. What you'll get One row per notice: title, not...

As in many other areas (e.g. code, emails, PRs, blog posts), people have started using LLMs to generate slides for their conference talks (e.g., set of HTML pages as a talk). On the one hand, the slides look tidy, neat, and precise, with infographics, plots, dashboards, and so on. Nothing to complain about. On the other hand, they look, hm, like LLM generated web sites, like soulless, if I may say so. I don't know why, but I don't enjoy reading them, even though they probably provide more value ...
