Integrating generative 3D meshes into web applications (Three.js, Babylon.js) or game engines usually involves manual asset downloads from web dashboards. hi3d-cli ( hi3d ) is a lightweight, zero-dependency CLI tool and agent skill for generating textured 3D models via the Hi3D API. Supported Output Formats Web & AR — .glb , .usdz Game Development — .obj , .fbx 3D Printing — .stl , .3mf Render Maps — .exr , .png , .bmp ...

A new weekly note. The rule is simple: an item makes the list only if we measured something on this machine, or if it changes what you should check before adopting a tool. Plain news does not qualify. Everything below was run this week on a Mac mini M4 Pro with Python 3.14.6, five runs each, medians. 1. Polars 2.0 release candidate versus the cache trick (measured) Last week's video found that a script parsing one million date strings spent most of its time in strptime , and tha...

I've submitted to just about every directory I could reach by now. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Zapier, IFTTT, Figma, ChatGPT. Every time it's someone else's place: you show up, they check what you've brought, sometimes they send you back to fix it, sometimes they let you in. I've written enough about review rounds and strange submission rules by now. And this week we submitted Publora to the official Claude connectors directory . For some reason I'd been preparing for this one longer than any o...

Meta announced a slate of new wearables during its annual Meta Connect showcase on Wednesday. The star of the event was the new Meta VR Glasses, which pack virtual reality tech into a lightweight smart glasses-style frame with a tethered puck. Meta also announced new pairs of screen-free smart glasses, along with some new AI […]

Meta is building a dedicated hardware device for its new Muse AI agent. The product, called Muse Charm, was briefly shown off by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the end of tonight's Meta Connect presentation. It looks almost like a chunky smartwatch without the strap - just a big screen, plus a little lanyard for […]

The tiny hardware device creates another mobile home for its AI agent Muse.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg kicked off the company’s annual Connect event in Menlo Park on Wednesday with a keynote that made one thing clear: Meta is going all-in on Muse. It's even coming to Meta's AI glasses.

Chunk 2 is complete — and this was by far the most challenging and rewarding part of the challenge so far. In this post I'm documenting exactly how I built the serverless visitor counter backend : Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway , and the bugs I encountered along the way. The debugging section is the most valuable part, so I've kept it honest and detailed. What is Chunk 2 about? The goal is to build a serverless API that: Stores a visitor count in a database Incremen...

You want to make an interesting screen in your app. Diligently, you describe it to the AI. The AI finishes. You try it, and it’s totally off. You wanted the buttons to be tightly packed, but instead they’re spread out. Most of the screen is taken up by stuff that’s not very important, with the important bits in a tiny pane to the side. And heck, when you asked for a “Reset button,” it gave you something to reset the whole app instead of just this one screen. Don’t you wish...

Ports and Services: Why FortiGate Exposure Numbers Depend on the Question You Ask On 18 June 2026, the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) published an alert titled "Reported widespread credential exposure affecting Fortinet Firewalls and VPN Gateways" [1]. The alert states that the ACSC "is aware of public reporting of a widespread malicious campaign against Fortinet Firewalls and VPN gateways, largely utilising exposed credentials and credential-based attacks, leading to potential comp...

Originally published at guushu.com/notes . I keep the original updated, so this copy may lag. I wrote this Cloudflare zone security checklist after "I'm sure I turned that on" led me to a WAF custom rule blocking curl/* on a zone I never set up that way. Twelve checks, each with a terminal command, so the answer is a number instead of a memory. By hand it takes about ten minutes per zone. Fine for one zone. The last section is about what happens with more. Set these once for the she...

You run a container as root. That sounds dangerous. But here's a more interesting question: Which root? Root inside the container? Root on the host? Or the root user running the Docker daemon? They aren't necessarily the same thing. And understanding that difference changes how you think about Docker security. We've already seen that containers rely on namespaces, capabilities, seccomp, and other Linux mechanisms for isolation. Now let's go one level deeper. W...

Set your API base URL and headers once with provideApi(), then inject(ApiService) anywhere. A tiny typed wrapper for Angular 17+. Every Angular app that talks to a REST API ends up with the same few lines in every service: read the base URL from the environment, build the headers, glue the URL together, call HttpClient . Then the app grows, a second backend shows up, and those lines multiply. I got tired of writing them, so years ago I wrote a small wrapper for my own apps. I just releas...

Open Source | Ooor: A 1.5MB Local LLM Manager That Turns llama.cpp Into a Complete Desktop AI Workstation TL;DR : Ooor is a MIT-licensed, open-source Windows desktop app weighing just 1.5MB. It integrates llama.cpp engine management, a GGUF model library, a Hugging Face model marketplace, a resumable chunked downloader, a streaming chat console, and an Agent tool-calling layer. No Electron. No cloud services. No telemetry. No accounts. Pure local. Double-click and go. I. ...

An AI agent wins when the job is a single, well-scoped, verifiable task: one worker, one toolset, one output you can check. Agentic AI, meaning the orchestrated system of specialised agents with planning, memory and handoffs, wins when the goal decomposes into subtasks that no single worker completes end to end. The practical rule: start with one agent, and promote to agentic orchestration only when a scored evaluation shows the workflow genuinely needs task decomposition, persistent memory or m...

To manage distributed transactions across multiple microservices. It divides a large transaction into a series of smaller local transactions. Executed independently. Each service performs its own transaction via events or commands. If one transaction fails --> compensating actions are executed to undo previously completed operations. Distributed Transaction Multiple db or system working together to complete a single task. If any step fails --> the entire trans...

I queried the registry and counted. Amazon publishes 739 architecture icons, Microsoft 626, and Google 214. Together that is 1,579 icons across three download pages, three zip files, and three different ideas of what an icon should look like. If you write architecture docs, you have lived this. You want a Lambda box and a BigQuery box in the same README, and you end up unzipping two archives to find them. This post is the practical version. What is in each set, how the files get their name...

This week was dominated by cost compression and gateway consolidation. Claude Opus 5.5 dropped with a meaningful price cut and no code changes required, while Vercel's AI Gateway absorbed four new models in a single cycle—GLM-5.3 Flash, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, Qwen 3.8 Flash, and Grok 4.7. If you've been deferring long-context or multi-agent work on cost grounds, the calculus shifted this week. Claude Opus 5.5 cuts costs 40%, matches frontier performance Opus 5.5 hits Fable 5.1 b...

If you've shipped a production system that handles structured data — API payloads, form submissions, config files, event streams — you've probably hit this exact wall: Your validation logic works beautifully in development. Tests pass. Types check out. You ship it. Then three weeks later, at 2am, something breaks. Not because your code is wrong, but because a piece of real-world data showed up that you never anticipated, and your validation layer had no way to tell you why it failed, where...
