The problem: I already had AI credits, but those credits were locked to one application. context : I was using both an agentic IDE and a Hostinger deployment agent. One day, I ran out of credits on the deployment agent. To keep using it, I either had to wait for credits to reset or upgrade to a higher subscription or buy tokens. At the same time, I already had a subscription for the IDE, but I could not use those credits on Hostinger. simply despite having credits, we cannot use them. Is this ac...

Hi HN, I've been working on Superprez.io because of something that started bothering me more and more with AI-generated presentations. Any AI like Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT can now generate surprisingly good decks — not just visually, but with animations, interactive elements, embedded products, maps, live polling, etc. But a lot of these presentations are ultimately treated like traditional presentations: export them to PDF or PPT and send them around. And that's where a lot of what makes them...

I spend a lot of time in the AI space -- reading papers, building things, talking to engineers who are actually shipping. And there is a gap between what the demos show and what production systems actually look like that nobody is being fully honest about. So here is my honest take on where things actually are. The Problem With How We Talk About AI Agents Everyone is calling everything an "agent" right now. A function that calls a tool? Agent. A chatbot with memory? Agent. ...

I've written before about SMESH, a coordination protocol modelled on mycorrhizal networks — the fungal web that lets trees in a forest warn each other about drought and disease with nothing in charge of the network. Signals diffuse, decay on their own, and get reinforced when independently confirmed. Consensus emerges instead of being orchestrated. That was the idea. This post is about the part where I found out whether it worked. The transport that had never run SMESH has had...

The tunnel comes up. wg show prints a recent handshake. The client has its address inside the tunnel. And not a single byte reaches the internet. Almost every guide answers this with "open UDP 51820 in the firewall". You already did that — it is why the handshake works at all. The problem is somewhere else, and UFW makes the distinction easy to miss: Entering a machine and traversing it are two different permissions. ufw allow 51820/udp lets packets arrive at the server. Your cl...

There is a small cluster of posts going around right now about auditing your LLM invoice, and about how cost calculators get the numbers wrong. I went to check mine and hit a problem before I got to the arithmetic: my pipeline doesn't produce an invoice, and the plumbing I built two months ago is the reason why. This project has a script, git_commit.py , that turns a staged git diff into a Conventional Commit message. It shells out to the Claude CLI. There is no ANTHROPIC_API_KEY anywhere ...

What tok/s really measures, how concurrency changes it, and why a single-user benchmark is not the whole story for local LLM performance. A Few Moments Later… How Fast Is "Fast"? Every interface in the world of local AI eventually shows you that dreaded spinner, and on the wrong setup it sits there long enough that your brain supplies the meme: "A few moments later…" That pause is a number wearing a disguise. Somewhere inside your machine, the model is grinding out tokens —...

🛡️ Arquitectura de Defensa para Agentes de IA: Cómo asegurar tus LLMs contra Prompt Injection, Tool-Poisoning y Fugitividad. El ecosistema actual de agentes autónomos y servidores MCP (Model Context Protocol) es brillante, pero operativamente es una pesadilla de seguridad. Estamos construyendo sistemas que ejecutan código, acceden a bases de datos y toman decisiones críticas basándose en salidas de texto que son intrínsecamente manipulables. Si estás desplegando agentes en producción conf...

TL;DR For marketplace sales calls, use an async job when several documents must become one reviewed set of CRM actions; use an inline request only when one short document can finish inside the caller's latency budget. Preserve one result per input, expose partial progress, and export only records that carry their source ID, outcome, and schema version. Start with this decision table: Pick Use it when Quality and latency consequence Operational burden Inline reque...
