A new California law places new rules on autonomous vehicles operators

Verdict: Hermes Agent's Computer Use feature is the most practical background desktop automation tool available in 2026. It lets an AI agent click, type, scroll, and drag across your real applications without moving your cursor, stealing keyboard focus, or switching virtual desktops. You and the agent work on the same machine at the same time. It is free, open source (MIT), works on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and runs with any vision-capable model — Claude, GPT, Gemini, or a local open model. S...

Generating Thumbnail Images in the Browser with Canvas API Blog thumbnail generators are usually server-side — send text, get back an image. I built one that runs entirely in the browser using Canvas. Here's what's actually hard about it. Korean Web Font Loading Korean fonts are large (often 3–10MB for a complete character set). Loading them for Canvas requires waiting for them to be ready: async function loadWebFonts () { const link = document . c...

Verdict: For most people starting agentic AI training in 2026, the free Hugging Face AI Agents Course is the best option. It costs nothing, issues a certificate, and makes you build and submit working agents rather than watch slides ( Hugging Face ). Pay for DeepLearning.AI's Agentic AI course by Andrew Ng if you want a tighter, structured treatment of agentic design patterns; a Pro membership is $25 per month billed annually or $30 per month billed monthly ( DeepLearning.AI ). Choose Vanderb...

This isn't a product post. It's a methodology post, about a failure in the checking process itself, which is arguably more useful to write down than the result would have been. The setup Working theory, stated in a public comment thread: people are frustrated enough with assistants acting without confirmation that the complaints should be easy to find — App Store reviews, Reddit threads, the usual venting places. The plan was simple: search for the phrases people would actually use ("it se...

A couple of quick mathematical tasks for this week's challenges. Task 1: Pythagoras Multiplied Task Description You are given a positive integer n . Find the number of all positive integer triplets ( a,b,c ) so that a 2 + b 2 = c 2 and a , b , and c are integers <= n . Example 1: n=20 --> 12 (3,4,5),(4,3,5),(5,12,13),(6,8,10),(8,6,10),(8,15,17),(9,12,15),(12,5,13),(12,9,15),(12,16,20),(15,8,17),(16,12,20) Example 2: n=7 -...

Android 17 QPR1 reached Pixel phones on September 15 with 84 new APIs for app developers, and for about three months exactly one phone maker is allowed to ship them: Google. The source code did not go to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) with the release. GrapheneOS noticed, the Hacker News thread reached 951 points, and the more serious problem turned out to be the security patches stuck behind the same door. TL;DR The official API diff from level 37 to 37.1...

You put DEBUG=false in .env , restart, and the app is still in debug mode. If you have searched "environment variable false is true" or "os.getenv boolean", here is the whole explanation: an environment variable is always a string, and "false" is a non-empty string, so it is truthy. Python's os.getenv , Node's process.env and Vite's import.meta.env all hand you text, never a bool or a number. DEBUG = bool ( os . getenv ( " DEBUG " )) # True for DEBUG=fals...

I Built StudyBuddy AI: An Open-Source Study Assistant for Students Using Ollama and Llama 3 This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend . What I Built I built StudyBuddy AI , an AI-powered study assistant designed for students like me and my classmates. A friend mentioned that preparing for exams often takes longer than studying itself. Students spend hours creating summaries, flashcards, and quizzes from lecture notes. To solve ...

How I Built a Time-Travel Debugger for AI Agents What if debugging an AI agent worked more like debugging normal code? Pause execution. Inspect what happened. Go back to an earlier state. Change something. Then continue from there. That idea led me to build an open-source time-travel debugger for AI agents . GitHub: https://github.com/UjwalBagalkoti/ai-time-travel-debugger The Problem AI agents are becoming more capable, but debugging them is still sur...

Lingobuddy is a light, patient, and completely local AI language practice partner designed to help a friend practice conversational foreign languages (Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and more) without any fear of judgment. Whenever my friend makes a grammar, spelling, or phrasing mistake, LingoBuddy gently inserts a bracketed correction [Correction: ...] into the conversation before replying naturally in the target language to keep the dialogue flowing. I built LingoBuddy for a ...

Ask a language model which package to use and, now and then, it names one that does not exist. If someone registers that name first, the next developer — or the next coding agent — who follows the same suggestion installs whatever they put there. That is slopsquatting. We collect those names and score each one. A name that returns 404 is easy: it is a target. The hard case is a name that does resolve. Is it the project the model meant, or someone who registered the name after models started...
