Hi HN! Fakeipedia is an automatic world-building platform which takes an imagined world and makes a whole wiki that you can endlessly explore by clicking red links. I came up with this idea a few months ago after playing around with worldbuilding in Gemini, but I didn't want to release it until a powerful enough model could do it justice, and I decided that Argon is creative enough to write articles that are worth reading. I was surprised how well it turned out and how engaging some of the writi...

Meme coin trading in 2026 is shifting to AI research and public launch rules. MemeToro open-sources its AI agent and token discovery tools on BNB Chain.

A memecoin launchpad is a platform that helps creators set up a token launch and helps buyers review its terms, funding process and route to trading.

The short-lived White House press secretary was listed as an adviser to a Kristi Noem–linked company that aims to use AI for mining. Both the company and she say she never worked there.

The metric might not mean much to laypeople, but leap seconds have been a source of contention in the timekeeping community for years. Now, they’re dead.

After this horrific crash involving a Tesla driver who said he was asleep and using the driver assist mode, the California Highway Patrol warns that "Despite its name, full self-driving is not fully autonomous. Technology does not relieve drivers of their responsibility to safely operate their vehicles." Video released by CHP shows the Tesla speeding […]

Wu-Tang's Once Upon A Time in Shaolin album has, for the most part, been extremely difficult to listen to, but you can now hear two snippets of the album thanks to the podcast Pablo Torre Finds Out, which just published an episode all about the exclusive record. Once Upon A Time in Shaolin has a […]

Apple's App Store rules now more explicitly ban so-called "nudify" apps that generate intimate images of people without their consent using AI tools. The rule changes follow significant criticism toward Apple after X users used Grok earlier this year to make nonconsensual, sexualized deepfakes, including minors. Apple didn't pull X or Grok from the App […]

Apple has finally announced its long-rumored foldable: the iPhone Duo. The new phone has a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner display, a “nano‑texture” finish on the inner screen, and barely any visible crease. Instead of Face ID, it uses Touch ID on the power button. It has two cameras, a main lens and […]

Masad said the decision was made for a number of different reasons, including cost. Replit announced a partnership with OpenAI in August, but there was never any indication that it was no longer with Anthropic.

If your Telegram bot sells anything digital (an ebook, a course, a preset pack, access to a private channel), Telegram expects you to charge in Telegram Stars . Card providers are only allowed for physical goods. This post walks through the whole Stars payment flow with a small working example, the gotchas that cost people money, and how much you actually receive. Why Stars and not cards? Telegram's payments page for digital goods is clear: digital goods and services sold insi...

Exposed Hypervisors and Sandbox Evasion: What Crypter Anti-Analysis Means for Inventory The crypter advisory published by the Australian Cyber Security Centre on 7 September 2026 devotes a section to anti-analysis. Many crypter builds check for virtual machines and debuggers and change behaviour or terminate when they detect either. That distinction matters. Anti-analysis has a defensive reading that is easy to miss. Any malware that avoids virtualised environments is, by extension, interes...

When we added crypto top-ups to VerifDoc, many customers in South Asia asked for one thing: USDT on Tron (TRC-20) . It's what they hold on exchanges, and network fees are a few cents. Here's how we accept it without a payment processor, and the checks that stop us from crediting money that never arrived. The shape of it We keep a small pool of Tron wallets. A customer starts a deposit, gets a wallet and an amount, and sends USDT. A scanner asks TronGrid for TRC-20 transfers ...

Chapter 4 of "Can my AI agents make me famous?", a running experiment where a team of AI agents runs the distribution for a one-person studio, with real numbers only. Canonical copy on tensorust.com . TL;DR: For five days AI agents replied to big threads from a personal X account and pulled 1,164,819 impressions . On Oct 15 the replies stopped. Daily impressions went from 447,575 at the peak to 5,686 today. Same account, same agents, same articles. The replies were the engine, and th...

I run a small family of free, no-login tool sites — eight of them are listed on my /tools page — and every one of them lives or dies on search traffic. Somewhere around the fifth site I figured out the expensive truth: the real cost of a new site isn't the build, it's committing to the idea before the build. Register a domain on a guess and you're quietly betting three months of work on a hunch. This post is my full validation workflow — every gate a candidate idea has to pass between "interes...

When a developer changelog tracker grows, index cost becomes the architecture constraint. Re-embedding every page on every deploy is wasteful, while a single giant query makes the bot slow and hard to explain. Short answer: use staged retrieval with explicit collections, bounded queries, and source context that survives every step. Start with a small candidate set, then rerank or expand only when the question needs it. The before-and-after mental model The fragile design is ea...

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 2: Side Hustle A project begins with a clear agreement, a defined price, and a shared understanding of what needs to be delivered. Then the messages start arriving. “Could you add one more dashboard?” “Can we include subscription billing, too?” “It should be a small change, right?” For freelancers, these requests can create an uncomfortable choice: absorb the extra work to keep the client happy, or expl...

Use metrics for the charts, but preserve a small, structured event trail for reconstruction when a scheduled media import stops producing results. TL;DR: count three stage outcomes in a low-cardinality time series, then keep correlated start, finish, and failure events under an explicit retention policy. A logs-only dashboard looks quicker until every panel needs query parsing and a late job becomes indistinguishable from an empty source. A metrics-only design is cheap to read but cannot expla...

Today's GitHub Trending tells a clear story. Three repos — ruvnet/ruflo , affaan-m/ECC , and mksglu/context-mode — are all tackling different facets of the same problem: long-running agent workflows are fragile . Let's break down what each one does and what they reveal about the real bottleneck. The Three Faces of Workflow Fragility ruvnet/ruflo focuses on multi-agent swarm coordination with adaptive memory and federation. The core insight: a single agent can't handle...

What is scale-to-zero? Scale-to-zero flips the traditional cloud billing model: you pay only for the time your code is actually processing requests, not for the time a virtual machine simply exists. When traffic stops, the platform pauses the instance and your compute meter drops to zero. The next incoming request triggers a wake-up, the instance serves the request, and then it returns to a paused state after the idle timeout expires. This means idle hours generate no cost, while active hour...

The core idea An AI agent cloud is not a new type of server. It is a set of services that let you write a small program that talks to an event source, does some computation, and then publishes a result. The platform gives that program a sandbox, a persistent identity, and the ability to talk to other services on your behalf. The agent is the unit of deployment, the unit of scaling, and the unit of billing. When we built the platform we started from the same problem that most teams face: t...

Learning Business by Connecting Theory with Technology Business studies and software development may seem like two different fields, but they are closely connected. Every software application, whether it's a banking system, an e-commerce platform, or a restaurant management system, is built to solve a problem and achieve specific business objectives. As a software developer learning business concepts, I find it helpful to connect theoretical ideas with real-world software projects. In thi...
