I Built a Local Gateway for Using ChatGPT and Gemini from VS Code

I wanted to use my existing ChatGPT and Gemini browser sessions from developer tools such as VS Code without managing separate API keys, model subscriptions, and provider-specific integrations. That led me to build Chat Model Relay . It is a self-hosted, experimental gateway that connects an IDE client to a logged-in browser session: VS Code → Chat Model Relay → ChatGPT or Gemini browser session The gateway exposes familiar API endpoints while the provider interaction ...

You Are Not Selling Your Code. You Are Selling the Next Commit

I spent the last few weeks reading the documentation, pricing pages and source of every tool I could find that sells access to a private GitHub repo. I expected the comparison to come down to features. It came down to one sentence in GitHub's own docs, and after that the shopping list looked completely different. Here is the sentence, from the page on removing an outside collaborator: "While forks of private repositories are deleted when a collaborator is removed, the person will still retain...

x402 Explained: HTTP-Native Micropayments for AI Agents (With Real Code)

x402 Explained: HTTP‑Native Micropayments for AI Agents (With Real Code) Target audience: developers building autonomous AI agents who need a lightweight, standards‑based way to charge for API usage without building a custom billing system. 1. Why look at x402? Autonomous agents often consume services—LLM completions, data look‑ups, tool calls—by issuing HTTP requests. Traditional API keys or subscription models add operational overhead: you must manage secret rotation, ...

One Visual Rule from a 3.2M-View TikTok — Rebuilt with an MCP Agent

A “dog as a skateboard” AI clip had about 3.2 million views on TikTok when I checked on September 6, 2026. I wanted to see if an Agent could extract the visual logic, rebuild it from a brief, and carry the result through a local production workflow. To be clear: the 3.2M views belong to the reference clip, not to my recreation. TL;DR I used the viral clip as a reference for an impossible visual premise, not as source footage. The most important prompt decision was reducing...

I checked 120 foreign software tools for a GST invoice. Eight had one.

I went into our pricing database expecting a boring answer. We track the plan-by-plan cost of a large catalog of software, and I wanted to know a simple operational thing: when an Indian company pays for these foreign tools, how many of them hand over a proper GST invoice, the kind your accountant can actually use? I could confirm the answer for 120 dollar-billed tools. Eight of them issue an Indian GST invoice. The other 112 do not. That number bothered me enough to go figure out why, bec...

We Let Claude Code Refactor Our 200K-Line Java Monolith. Here's the Honest Result.

Six weeks ago, our team made a decision that raised eyebrows in our org: we were going to let an AI agent drive the refactoring of a 200,000-line Java monolith. Not assist. Not suggest. Drive. We'd give Claude Code a CLAUDE.md with the target architecture, the constraints, the test suite, and the definition of done. We'd run it in autonomous mode overnight. Engineers would review in the morning. I'm writing this because the results were not what any of us predicted — not the optimists...

Attention is simpler than you think - A hand-crafted superhero transformer

Part of the TechAarvam workshop support files — Build Your Own Model . Attention is simpler than you think A hand-crafted superhero transformer This notebook presents a hand-crafted example. The goal is to understand the intuition behind the attention block in the transformer architecture. Attention and FFN are the two main components. FFN is an Artificial neural network (ANN) with 1 input, 1 hidden, and 1 output layer. So we start constructing the FFN's job ...

Grounded vs. Guessed: A Real Test of AI Agent Context

I've started running a small, ongoing experiment on myself: how do I actually improve the quality of my own work, and more specifically, how do I hand an AI agent the kind of product context that makes it build the right thing instead of a confident guess dressed up as a spec. This piece is the first real result of that. I want to show you something instead of just claiming it. So here's an actual experiment, run once, with the real output pasted in, not paraphrased or cleaned up after the fa...

PYTHON Data Structures lists, Tuples, Dictionaries and Sets

INTRODUCTION After learning storing single values in variables, We needed a way to hold collection of data i.e multiple ride counts multiple cities etc. Python offers four main data structures for this that is: LISTS A list is a built-in data type used to store multiple items in a single variable. A list can be changed and allows addition of more items It can also contain items of different data types Lists also preserve and allows duplicate values ![ ]( https://dev-...

Compose has init containers now. Here's what I deleted.

Every Compose file I have written for a real app has the same two services in it that aren't really services. One runs the migrations. One seeds the database. They exist because something has to run before the app and Compose had no way to say that, so you fake it with depends_on and a condition and hope nobody runs docker compose ps -a . Compose 5.3 shipped pre_start in July. It is the thing I have been faking for years, so I spent an evening on it with a Postgres 18 container and a sma...

Show HN: Pomeroy v1, give any AI assistant secure access to native macOS apps

When I launched Pomeroy last week, I knew I was solving a problem, but I didn't understand the scale! Pretty overwhelmed by the response, and have worked over the weekend to make it EVEN better... So... what could better than giving Claude secure access to your native Apple MacOS apps you ask?.. well, how about connecting ANY AI assistant? That's right... Pomeroy v1 is here, and it's no longer Claude-specific. You can now connect ANY AI assistant to it - Claude, Cursor, Codex, VSCode, Perplexity...
