Linus Torvalds Has a Hallucination

What if the 1991 Linus Torvalds woke up in 2026 and called the whole AI stack bad taste? And an open source approach to change that.

Agent CX Is the Missing Layer in AI Search

AI agents can find your site, but can they get through it? SEO has no category for that gap yet. Marketing should own it, not engineering.

Pakistan Is Moving at Startup Speed on Digital Assets. The World Is Starting to Notice

An under six-month regulatory rollout, 8% budget utilisation and a forward-looking bet on programmable finance are giving Pakistan an unusually different global technology story. For decades, Pakistan’s global technology story has usually been framed around potential: a young population, a large digital workforce and strong adoption, but institutions struggling to keep pace. Digital assets are beginning to tell a different story. Pakistan promulgated the Virtual Assets Act in March ...

Tim Cook’s Apple: his 10 biggest wins and misses

Expectations for Tim Cook were almost impossibly high when he stepped in to replace Apple's visionary cofounder in 2011. He inherited a company on a blockbuster run, after Steve Jobs returned and revitalized the Mac, launched the iPod, and oversaw the launch of the iPhone. Now, after 15 years in the CEO role, Tim Cook […]

aimock: Deterministic Mock Infra for AI Apps

aimock crossed 2.5M weekly installs! Here's what it does and what's new If you've been building AI apps, you've probably hit the same wall: your test suite runs against real LLM endpoints, so every CI run burns tokens, every provider hiccup breaks your build, and every dev on your team needs API keys just to run npm test. aimock is our fix for that. It's an open-source mock server for every AI service your app talks to - LLMs, MCP tools, agentic protocols, vector database...

I Stopped Using Gemini 3.1 Pro for Agentic Coding — Why I Moved to Gemini 3.7 Flash High Mode

I landed my first Point of Sale (POS) SaaS client project and built it inside Google Antigravity , trusting Gemini 3.1 Pro for all agentic coding. Bad move. Midway through, severe bugs hit—fixing sales inputs completely broke my dashboard analytics. Frustrated, I switched to the GPT stack (Codex, GPT-5.5, GPT-5.6 Sol). But that brought a new headache: token quotas drained in minutes and API bills went through the roof. The breakthrough? Community stats on Agent Arena showed Flash models...

My scraper returned 660 jobs. There were 880. Nothing in the output said so.

The first version of my LinkedIn company-jobs Actor looked like it worked. Point it at a company, get back every open role. The dataset had hundreds of rows, the fields were populated, the run finished green. It was returning about three quarters of the jobs, and a different three quarters each time. Worse, I had built change tracking on top of it — "these 12 roles opened since your last run, these 5 closed" — and that feature was manufacturing closures out of nothing. One test run reporte...

Inside the Architecture: How Universal Google Image Bulk Downloader Pro Avoids Getting Blocked

Most home-grown image scrapers fall apart the same way: they get CAPTCHA-walled after a few dozen requests, or they return a pile of irrelevant junk mixed in with the images you actually wanted. Universal Google Image Bulk Downloader Pro , an open-source project by hariompatel61 , tackles both problems with a handful of deliberate architectural choices worth breaking down. 1.

A Developer's Checklist for AI Voice Agent Disclosure Compliance

If you're building or maintaining an AI voice agent right now, there's a decent chance your team hasn't formally mapped out what it legally has to say to callers — because until recently, mostly nobody enforced it. That's changing fast across US federal law, several state statutes, and the EU AI Act. Here's a practical, implementation-focused rundown. TL;DR checklist Your call flows need to handle all six of these: [ ] State plainly, in the opening line, that the caller is t...

Bypassing Enterprise Bloatware: Building a Zero-Framework Asynchronous EDR Triad in Go and Pure WinAPI

Stop wasting your hardware threads and RAM pools on corporate endpoint detection agents that consume 500MB of memory just to stream telemetry to a cloud bucket. When you secure a host at the bare-metal subsystem layer, you don't need static signature databases, heavy Electron-based dashboards, or background bloatware overhead. You need execution velocity and aggressive, multi-threaded memory isolation.Here is the architectural blueprint of a standalone, zero-signature security stack designed for...

WebMCP: Make Your Website Agent-Ready Without Screen Scraping

AI agents can already operate websites by reading text, inspecting accessibility trees, and clicking visible controls. That works, but it asks the agent to reverse-engineer an interface designed for humans. WebMCP proposes a different model: a website can expose supported actions as structured tools. Instead of guessing which button completes a booking, an agent can discover a bookSlot tool with a description, typed inputs, and a defined result. WebMCP is currently an emerging Chrome cap...
