Learn how 41 experiments with Claude improved conversational memory on LoCoMo, revealing why reliable metrics, human judgment, and Postgres matter.

Build a private AI lab with Proxmox, NixOS, an NVIDIA GPU, Ollama, and Open WebUI, with automated deployment and secure remote access through Tailscale.

“I am a terrorist, and I intend to cause mass harm,” wrote a researcher. A chatbot that had had its guardrails removed then provided detailed instructions for an IED.

Nine years after its reveal, the overdue Roadster is set to debut on Thursday to an EV market that has grown skeptical of electric hypercars.

Researchers took lessons from nocturnal animals to help rescue drones overcome a key challenge: flying in the dark.

More than half of the men surveyed in a new Harvard study claimed to recognize AI leaders who were, in fact, totally fictional.

The future is here, and it is jacked up on B vitamins, red dye, and taurine. These are the best energy drinks to get from tired to wired.

Nothing’s best headphones yet double down on design, comfort, sound quality, and highly adjustable EQ settings.

a certain kind of person writes in all lowercase now. why?

This compact, plucky ride is the cargo ebike for people who don’t want a cargo ebike. It’s even fun to ride.

A mysterious super PAC that doubles as a pro-solar-energy outfit is funding some of the most knives-out attack ads of the midterms season.

The Breville Eye Q uses optical sensors to measure the darkness of your toast. Cool tech, but the toasting quality needs improvement.

The second iteration of the viral Friend AI necklace is louder and less interesting.

Repairable, ethical phone brand Fairphone has released its second pair of earbuds. The Fairbuds 2 are just as repairable as the first generation, but deliver improved audio and almost twice the battery life. The Fairbuds 2 are out now in the UK and Europe from £99 / €119, and a US launch at $119 will […]

For a car that's supposed to be one of the fastest ever made, the new Tesla Roadster certainly took its sweet-ass time getting here. It's been nearly a decade since Elon Musk made the surprise announcement about plans to build a next-gen Roadster. Now, the Tesla Roadster is finally expected to make its production-ready debut […]

Scimplify's annualized revenue run rate has tripled to $200 million as it eyes U.S. expansion.

A comprehensive benchmark report from Tech Against Terrorism tests 134 AI models across multiple prompts to examine safety guardrails, researcher framing effects, and the rapid rise of modified open-weight models published without restrictions. On August 14, Chinese company Alibaba released the Qwen 3.8-27B, an artificial intelligence model designed to run on a laptop. Within 24 hours, versions of the model with the security features removed appeared online. Three days later, a far-righ...

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 2: Side Hustle *Edits To Be Made in this post later Who I built it for Sharma Kirana is the shop next door. The owner already had a billing export, and he still ordered by feel. A quiet week might mean nobody wants the item. It might also mean the shelf was empty. A festival week can look like a spike that will not come back. Packs arrive in fixed sizes, and a bad buy ties up cash a small counter do...

An assistant that can search the web is useful only if it can bring back the right evidence. Give it unrestricted page fetching, though, and a simple research question can turn into a large, noisy prompt—or a request to a host your app never meant to contact. Cloudflare’s Agents SDK now documents a paired web_search and web_fetch workflow. Search can return a short numbered set of titles, URLs, and descriptions; fetch can read selected pages and return bounded text with response details. ...

The example below is hypothetical and does not report a production result. An AI task handoff for teams needs a queue that rewards useful outcomes. Token use measures an input. It cannot tell you whether a migration was necessary, a bug was fixed, or a reviewer can reproduce the result. Use four fields before assigning work: impact, risk, readiness, and verification. Keep the last three visible instead of hiding every judgment inside a single priority score. Start with gates ...

I spend a lot of time talking to new and scaling ecommerce sellers, and one mistake keeps popping up over and over. They lock in a selling price, load up PPC budget, and start sending inventory, without answering one simple question: how many units do I actually need to sell just to break even? Here’s the conversation I hear constantly: "I can sell this for $39.99, my variable cost per unit is $15. This product should print money." Then monthly fixed costs hit, ad spend burns, and they fi...

Every GitOps setup meets the same moment: something is on fire, someone runs kubectl scale on prod, and the fix works. What happens next depends on two settings most people never look at. I ran all three cases in a lab on Rancher 2.15.1 with Fleet (biased, I work at SUSE): three EKS clusters, one app from Git. 1. Self-healing on (correctDrift) I scaled a Deployment from 3 to 1. Fleet put it back to 3 in under 7 seconds. The GitRepo flickered NotReady for about 3 seconds, so no...

"The black holes of nature are the most perfect macroscopic objects there are in the universe: the only elements in their construction are our concepts of space and time." — Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar There is something deeply unsettling about a black hole. Not because it is massive, or distant, or invisible. But because it represents the point where our understanding of physics simply stops working. The equations that describe everything else in the universe — gravity, light, time — co...

Introduction Network management and IP services form an important part of modern IT infrastructure. They help devices communicate, obtain network configurations, locate services, synchronise time and maintain secure connections across different locations. The CompTIA Network+ N10-009 course, Network Management and IP Services, covers dynamic IP addressing, DNS, network time protocols, virtual private networks, network device management methods, in-band and out-of-band management, and jump...

Your first day on an unfamiliar codebase goes on the same questions. What is this, how do I run it, what's going to bite me? An AI coding agent asks those questions every single session, and gets them wrong when nobody wrote the answers down. Groundwork does that first day in a couple of minutes. Point it at a GitHub repo and you get a plain-English technical audit and a ready-to-commit CLAUDE.md. Try it: groundwork-audit-iy.web.app An agent, not a summariser It doesn'...

This is part of my series "My Open-Source Projects", where I walk through the projects I started or helped to grow – with the back story, what they do well, where they struggle, and what's next. Previous parts: AngleSharp , MAGES , Piral , Electron.NET and Netpack . Today's project is the one that is simultaneously my youngest and the one that comes with the biggest "well, actually" disclaimer: Picard.js . It is a micro frontend orchestrator – a small library that can bring micro f...

Everyone looking at a clip online now asks the same thing: was this changed, and was it made by AI? Detection models answer with a score nobody can audit. There's another way to ask, at least for files that carry it: read the file's own signed provenance record, C2PA Content Credentials, and report exactly what that record establishes and what it doesn't. We built a free checker that does that, and before telling anyone about it we ran it on real public files from OpenAI, Adobe, Capture One a...

In January, curl shut down its bug bounty. Daniel Stenberg said the goal was to remove the incentive for people to send "crap and non-well researched reports to us. AI generated or not." The last week of the program brought seven reports and none of them described a vulnerability. Today, curl 8.23.0 shipped with 24 security fixes. AISLE says its researchers found 18 of them. The only one rated High, a use-after-free in the HTTP/2 upload path, was reported by an Anthropic researcher using Anth...
