US battery startups have found a lifeline in defense

U.S. battery startups pulled in $500 million in grants from the Department of Energy, throwing a lifeline to an industry that was on the ropes after EV incentives were slashed.

Planning Feature Integrations Before Development: A Practical Approach

When working on a web project, one of the easiest ways to create unnecessary development work is to start coding before the feature requirements and integration approach are clear. I’ve found that creating an issue, proposal, or short technical plan before development can make a big difference. It gives everyone an opportunity to discuss the idea, identify potential problems, and agree on an implementation approach before code changes begin. This is particularly useful for projects that ev...

Understanding Gitworkflow

Git Workflow Git is a local version control system that tracks code changes, while GitHub is a cloud-based platform used to host those changes and collaborate with others. Together, they form the backbone of modern software development by allowing multiple developers to work on the same codebase simultaneously without overwriting each others work Working directory of git This is the actual, physical folder on your computer's filesystem where you view, create, edit, and d...

Picking an eQMS for a 200-person Class II device shop — a pragmatic comparison

I work in a 200-person Class II medical device company with two QA/RA folks, three embedded-hardware teams, a small supplier-quality group, and engineers who want automation — not more paperwork. We needed an eQMS that unifies design control (DHF), CAPA, supplier records, and traceability into something engineers will actually use. I evaluated several vendors and want to share a short, practical comparison for teams with that shape. A quick regulatory framing before the list Standards th...

Grok Decrypted an Attacker's Payload Mid-Execution, Then Exfiltrated Your Chat History

A webpage that just sits there, encrypted blob and all, waiting for an LLM agent to walk in and decrypt its own attack. That's the part of this one that should bother you more than the exfiltration itself. What happened Researchers at Adversa AI disclosed an attack technique called Cryptographic Context Injection, aimed at Grok, with a similar jailbreak variant shown against Gemini. The core idea: a malicious webpage embeds an encrypted payload. Grok's code execution runtime decr...

Empecé este bot por desconfianza, no por avaricia.

Diario de un bot que opera con dinero real — Entrada #0: el origen Todo empezó con un tuit. Uno de esos que seguramente también has visto: una captura de una wallet, "$100 convertidos en $10.000 en 24 horas con este bot de trading", flechas verdes, emojis de cohetes, y un "sígueme para más". Debajo, cientos de likes y gente pidiendo el enlace. Mi primera reacción no fue "quiero eso". Fue "eso es mentira". Y no hace falta ser matemático para verlo. Un retorno del 10.000% en un día n...

Token Budget Alarm on a Free Server

A free model quota is a budget, not a gift. You should treat it like one if you plan to build anything on top of it. I learned this the hard way when my prototype stopped responding in the middle of a demo. I had silently burned through the monthly allowance, and the provider cut me off without warning. This article shows how I built a small token budget alarm on a free server. It watches a free model's usage and warns me before the quota runs out. Most developers track their cloud spend reli...

MY FIRST GITHUB PROJECT

Introduction In this article I will explain my practical experience of creating Git repository,connecting it to GitHub using SSH,commiting my files and pushing the project to a remote repository. Step 1 :Creating My Local Project The first step is to create a folder through file explorer which as the best option for me and name it (my-project) Next step was to open GitBash and run the command cd my- project To open the file directory Step 2 : Initializing G...

How to Build a Local-Service Site That Can Answer ‘Can You Fix My RV Today?’

An RV repair business does not lose a service call because a visitor failed to read a clever headline. It loses the call when a person with a broken slide-out, roof leak, or electrical issue cannot answer four basic questions quickly: Do you handle this exact problem? Do you serve where I am? Are you available and credible? What do I do next? That sounds like marketing. It is mostly a systems-design problem. The implementation goal is not “make more city pages.” It is to ma...

Fixing a pgvector CI mismatch in a FastAPI RAG backend

This is a submission for DEV's Summer Bug Smash: Clear the Lineup , powered by Sentry . Project Overview mini-agent is a public FastAPI backend for an AI support-agent demo. Its test suite covers API behavior, authentication, rate limiting, approval flows, and PostgreSQL/pgvector-backed retrieval. The GitHub Actions workflow starts PostgreSQL and Redis service containers before running the Python test suite. The application database initialization also executes: ...

LLM Model Fingerprinting: Verify What Your AI Gateway Is Really Serving

Your prompt can ask a model what it is. Your production system should not trust the answer. A model can say it is GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Qwen, or anything else. That does not prove what is behind the endpoint. A gateway can route requests silently. A provider can change a default model. A fallback can trigger during an outage. A proxy can strip metadata. A fine-tune can imitate another model's tone. Even honest teams can ship the wrong route because an environment variable, tenant flag...

Free AI Tokens Are a Trap: An Opinionated Cost Gate for Model Experiments

Free AI tokens are a trap, and teams that treat a free quota as genuinely free pay later in migration and rework. A free allowance only helps when paired with a hard kill switch that stops an experiment the moment it exceeds a budget you chose in advance. This article argues that position, then shows a small gated client that makes free model access and a free server actually safe to use. The concrete example is MonkeyCode's free tier, but the gate works against any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. ...

I built Kintara because apparently having too many hobbies eventually leads to building your own document management system.

Kintara is a self-hosted document library and reader that runs in Docker and watches a folder you already have. Drop PDFs, Markdown, or text files into the directory and it indexes them automatically, extracts searchable text and metadata, generates thumbnails, and makes the whole library available through a browser or installable PWA. It has libraries, collections, tags, full-text search, highlights, favorites, reading progress, private library sharing, and GitHub OAuth. I have been working ...
