The JVM Speaks AI: Cobrainer's Journey with Kotlin, Koog and Exposed

One afternoon, one of our LLM providers started throttling us. A large customer had triggered a burst of AI-assisted work, and the provider's capacity in our region could not keep up. Our prompt executor followed its fallback chain, the circuit breaker took the affected models out of rotation, and each request moved to a second provider without interrupting the workflow. There was no incident to handle and no change in system behaviour for the customer. We noticed it only the next morning on our...

A Technical Guide to AIoT in Commercial Construction: Data Visibility, Asset Tracking, and Integration

Commercial construction sites involve a variety of operations with multiple teams and assets. Electrical, heating and air conditioning, plumbing, and framing crews can be present at the same time. Equipment, materials, and information also move throughout the area. Consistent operational visibility presents a common technical challenge in the industry. AIoT – an integration of the IoT and artificial intelligence – presents an opportunity to improve the connection between operations and dat...

Your agent ran git. So did the repo

On October 2, Manifold Security published GitSpawn , and it is the kind of bug that is obvious the second you see it and invisible until then. Coding agents call git all the time. Not when you ask them to commit: in the background, to gather context. What changed, what branch you are on, what the diff looks like. And git reads its settings from the repository's own .git/config . Some of those settings name a program to run. The one Manifold used is core.fsmonitor , a hook git calls to ask ...

I built an open-weight-model agent that finds OSS issues worth your time

What I Built ClaimScout — a tool that tells you which open-source issues are actually worth your time. Point it at the repos you care about and it hands back a short list of issues that are genuinely yours to take : unclaimed, low-traffic, bounded bugs — not assigned work, not bot chores, not architecture epics dressed up as quick wins. Then, if you want, an open-weight model ranks that shortlist against your skills so the best first contribution floats to the top. Who would pay for...

Is 'Codex as an army' actually a trap for solo developers?

This came up in Chinese AI developer communities this week, and the energy around it was hard to ignore. A post celebrating OpenAI Codex drew 432 comments in a short window. The author described the feeling as "one person commanding a thousand troops." One commenter had shipped an automated video editing pipeline using a local Qwen model for frame tagging, DeepSeek for script rewriting, and a custom AI director layer for cut decisions, all built primarily through Codex. Another had automated the...

$0 to $1,869 a Month: What a Static Website Really Costs on Azure, by Size

"Static sites are basically free to host." That's mostly true, until it suddenly isn't. On Azure, the same pile of HTML, CSS and JavaScript can cost $0, $9, $69 or $1,869 a month . What changes the bill is how big the site is, and above all how much of it people download. I wanted to know exactly where each one of my sites would sit as it grows. So I priced five static sites, from a tiny portfolio to a site serving 20 TB a month, against every reasonable way to host them on Azure. ...

Your job feed is lying: detecting silent JSON API breakage (a stdlib-only GitHub Action)

I consume a lot of public JSON APIs, and the worst failure mode is the one that never throws: the feed still returns HTTP 200 but the shape has quietly changed. A field gets renamed. The item count drops from 800 to 12 overnight. A salary key disappears. An endpoint starts returning an empty array. None of it is an error — your HTTP client is happy — so a plain status-code health check says "all good" while your data is already broken. That is the gap jobfeed-watchdog (JFW) fills: a s...

Are 'Best AI Tools' Rankings Actually Hurting Your Workflow Decisions?

This came up in Chinese AI developer and marketing circles recently: a well-known AI business consultant published a 2026 ranked list of the best AI tools by category, and within days it was being screenshot, reshared, and acted on by people restructuring real production pipelines. Claude won writing. Higgsfield beat Sora and KlingAI for video generation. The list was clean, confident, and shareable. It was also already partially stale by the time most people saw it, and the comment section m...

免費的 Colab CLI A100/H100 真香 :)

前幾天 Google 官方宣布 Google AI Pro 方案納入 Colab 進階算力 ,讓訂閱者能直接在雲端使用 A100/H100 GPU。平常無聊跑些小模型時,我都會透過 AGY Cli 呼叫 google-colab-cli 來使用以前的 T4。既然這次 Google 這麼佛心給了 A100,我馬上決定直接從本機連上去。從認證、開立實例到載入模型,把這免費資源好好測過一遍。 釐清兩款 CLI 工具 PyPI 上有一個舊套件叫 colab-cli (版本 2.2.5),如果你跑 pip install colab-cli ,它會把環境裡的 click 降級到 7.1.2、 typer 降級到 0.1.1,接著就會發生一堆套件依賴衝突。看它的原始碼就知道,這只是幾年前包裝 pydrive 的上傳小工具,只能把本機的 .ipynb 同步到 Google Drive 再幫你開瀏覽器分頁,根本沒有遠端調用 GPU 的能力。 真正的官方工具是 Google 在 2026 年推出的 google-colab-cli ...

How to convert CGPA to percentage (and why the 9.5 rule isn't universal)

Many students need to convert a CGPA into a percentage for job applications, scholarship forms, or further study. The conversion looks simple, but the right formula depends on which body issued your grade sheet. The commonly cited formula For CBSE results, the formula most often quoted is: percentage = CGPA x 9.5 Worked example: a CGPA of 8.2 gives 8.2 x 9.5 = 77.9% The 9.5 rule isn't universal The 9.5 factor is a CBSE convention.
