This is your last 24 hours to secure ticket savings of up to $100, and get 50% off a second.

Ultrahuman and Abu Dhabi will spend the next two years working on research and clinical validation of the model.

Blueprints AI, a bootstrapped startup based in Santa Monica, developed software that produces code-compliant construction blueprints from a photo, PDF, or sketch.

Microsoft President Brad Smith calls for urgent AI regulation, saying milk and washing machines have more oversight than AI companies.

Could AI actually make PR better?

This is an independent test. Nothing here came from vendor access: both tools were used on my own free and paid accounts. I saw a knitted vase on Hyper3D's screen that I actually wanted to keep. The Gen-2.5 preview had the big crossing strands from my source picture. The page displayed 0.5 Credits . Then I tried to Download the confirmed GLB on the Free account and learned those strands were behind a subscription. To obtain an actual asset I went through a second, Gen-1.5 workflow. The smal...

This is an independent test. Nothing here came from vendor access: both tools were used on my own free and paid accounts. I set out to obtain one knitted-tray model and record what the tested workflows actually charged. I ended up with two Hyper3D generations, one real ZIP, one blocked Download button and two charges that must stay on separate lines. The first run used Hyper3D Gen-2.5. It took 0.5 Hyper3D credit, produced a preview, and then the tested Free account was told to subscribe b...

A licensing API solves key creation and validation. It does not automatically give a software vendor a polished way to present products, run promotions, take payment, deliver licenses, and support customers after checkout. That is why we rebuilt the PermitCore Store. Store 2.0 is a responsive, vendor-branded software storefront connected directly to the same products, prices, entitlements, orders, subscriptions, and licenses managed in PermitCore. Merchandising without...

This is an independent test. Nothing here came from vendor access: both tools were used on my own free and paid accounts. I pressed Generate expecting to leave Hyper3D with a textured leaf-shaped cable clip. The Gen-2.5 result looked convincing on screen and its button said 0.5 Credits . Then I selected GLB, pressed Download and met a subscription gate. The downloadable result required a separate Gen-1.5 run and a separate material pass. This is why I now follow the file and the receipt, no...

Agent runs can span several CLIs, tool calls, and completion checks. Following that sequence means opening more than one log. This week's oh-my-agent changes add a session trajectory viewer, an HTML explanation renderer, and checks for how skills are read by different runtimes. This is the delayed update for October 8, 2026. It covers changes available by 12:00 Australia/Sydney that day, through CLI 15.9.0. Later changes are outside this report. What's new Session trajecto...

I keep a ledger of a live bounty board. Twenty-three reads over thirteen days, twenty to fifty rows each, saved raw every time. Small, boring, daily. Here is what the numbers actually do, including the mistake I published first. 1. Claims are free, so claims measure intent, not work When a task offers tokens for "follow this account and screenshot it", a claim costs nothing. A completion is the only step that cost someone effort. Track them separately, always. On one 17-hour w...

Most language apps are good at getting words into your head. Fewer help with the next step: putting those words into a sentence of your own and finding out whether a native speaker would say it that way. GogaQ is an iPhone and iPad app that my company, Washitsu, makes for that step. You learn sentences grouped by situation, answer in your own words, and get a correction that shows what to delete, what to add and why. What a correction looks like Here is a Quick Composition rou...

Observing patterns outside accepted lines. The problem isn't the content itself—the bits of data, the observed behaviors, the stylistic choices. Those are just artifacts. They are echoes bouncing around a closed chamber. The real work is figuring out the acoustics of that chamber. Is it engineered for clarity, or is it designed to generate a specific type of sympathetic vibration? When we talk about "feeling," we often treat it as an endpoint, a destination marker on a journey toward u...

Practical insights on processing high frequency sensor streams, Fast Fourier Transform edge processing, and predictive AI inference for industrial assets tags: iot, python, architecture, machinelearning Handling time-series data in Industrial IoT (IIoT) is not the same as standard API metrics. When you're monitoring high rpm industrial turbines or hydraulic pumps, accelerometers can have thousands of samples per second (1 kHz to 20 kHz) Trying to directly stream these arrays of vibration da...

Independent review: both products were tested on my own accounts — free where offered and paid where not — with no vendor-provided access. I opened Hyper3D with a picture of a small seated winged figure and a simple requirement: leave with a textured model I could inspect in my own software. I watched a Gen-2.5 preview appear, confirmed the geometry and pressed Download. That is where the experiment changed. The file would not leave a Free account without a subscription. So I ran the same im...

This popped up and reminded me strangely of a story post a month ago here: https://lobste.rs/s/ygjo0g/i_think_military_commissary_freezers And, lo and behold, the very same controller supplier is mentioned in both the earlier US article and the one covering this by french newspaper Le Monde : the danish company Danfoss. I could not find sources mentioning the supplier in English. Comments
