I heard from a friend of the family that Bob passed away in his sleep early Saturday. Very sad news. Bob, who's real name was Mark Stevens, was an early employee of Apple and was best known for his PBS documentaries, especially "Triumph of the Nerds". He will be missed.

If you are searching for an AI connect tool, the shortlist in 2026 is n8n, Zapier MCP and Make, and n8n wins for most technical teams. It bills per workflow execution rather than per step, runs a native MCP client node plus its own MCP server, and can be self-hosted free, which means cost stays flat as workflows get deeper. Zapier MCP is the better pick if you are non-technical and want Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor acting across 9,000+ apps with no build work. Make sits in the middle: a visual sc...

In a straight Gen AI vs Agentic AI comparison, generative AI wins for almost everything a team ships this quarter: drafting, summarising, translating, coding, and producing a work product a human reviews before it leaves the building. Agentic AI wins in one narrow but valuable band, when a task needs genuine judgement, when the rules are too messy to encode, and when the inputs are unstructured. Treat gen AI and agentic AI as a default and an upgrade, not as rivals: the default is cheaper, faste...

What if you could send a file from one device to another with no cable, no Bluetooth and no cloud upload, using only a screen and a camera? That was the idea behind QR File Transfer , a small project I built with Spring Boot, MySQL and plain JavaScript. The sender's screen plays a stream of QR codes, and the receiver's camera scans them and rebuilds the file. arshisabah / QR-File-Transfer-System ...

Laravel route model binding is the reason a resource controller rarely contains a manual Post::findOrFail($id) call. Part 1 covered how Laravel routing works at a basic level, and ended on the {post} parameter in a resource route resolving straight to a Post model instead of a raw ID. This part covers how that actually happens, and the handful of places it stops working the way you'd expect: custom lookup columns, nested resources, and soft-deleted rows. Implicit binding: mat...

Grok 4.7 costs exactly what Grok 4.6 did per token: $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output. Per task, it costs about double. Artificial Analysis measured xAI's new model writing roughly 2.5 times as many tokens as its predecessor, so its cost per task went from $1.86 to $3.74. If you pick LLMs by the price table, this is the week that table stopped telling you what you will pay. TL;DR Grok 4.7's list price is unchanged, $2 in and $6 out per million to...

When a support chatbot gives a wrong answer, the first instinct is to blame the model. But when I looked at how these failures are described in support and operations communities, a different pattern kept showing up: the model was faithfully repeating the documents it was given. The documents were the problem. Typical examples: Two FAQ pages with different refund windows (7 days vs 14 days) Two different support email addresses, both "official" A policy last reviewed two years ago ...

While working with Amazon EC2, I noticed something interesting about public IP addresses. I launched an EC2 instance and checked its public IP: Public IP: 13.x.x.x Then I stopped the instance and started it again. After restarting, I noticed that the public IP had changed: Old IP: 13.x.x.x New IP: 54.x.x.x This made me understand an important AWS concept: The default public IPv4 address of an EC2 instance is not persistent. 🔹 So, how can we keep the same public IP? AW...

When I work with coding agents I usually have a few things going at once, and after a couple of sessions I no longer know what's finished, what's half done and what's waiting on me. I tried a TODO.md , but I never looked at it. Jira or Linear felt silly for a one-person project. So I wrote KanbanEasy. It's a small desktop kanban board that I keep docked next to my editor. The part I actually wanted is that the agent can move its own cards. The code is on GitHub under the MIT licens...

Visa portals, exam forms, and job applications all ask for the same thing: a photo under 100KB. Most compressors hand you a quality slider and wish you luck — you export at 60%, check the size, re-export at 50%, check again. Five guesses later you land at 97KB with a photo that looks worse than it needed to. There's a better way: name the size, and let the tool find the best quality that fits it. Type 100 , get ≤100KB, done — with your file never leaving your device. Why 100KB ...

From ChatGPT dots to Muse, personal AI bots are becoming mainstream, no longer shackled by need to have a dev environment (openclaw..). However outside the initial fancy and demo tests, I am really curious how people are using the personal AI bots. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49949699 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

AI grows around whatever it touches. Feed it your SOPs and it hollows you out; feed it real judgment and it compounds. A four-question test to tell which.
