Part of the H0: Hack the Zero Stack submission. See the project on Devpost . Every hackathon submission that uses AWS from Vercel usually starts the same way: "paste your AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID into Vercel's environment variables." It's easy, and it works. It's also the single most common cause of cloud supply-chain attacks. Major breaches like SolarWinds or the Toyota customer leak often start with a static credential that someone forgot to rotate, or accidentally checked into a code...

A month ago there was a wave of posts and tweets about engineers walking around cafes and parks with their MacBooks propped half-open, as fully closing the lid forces sleep that stops their AI agents. Some people made snarky comments about using tmux or Amphetamine, and some defended their choice with “but I only need it sometimes, and forgetting to disable Amphetamine and finding my laptop discharged in my bag is worse.” This is a solution to this problem. Unlike caffeinate, it will prevent you...

I am a big Dragon Age fan and sunk hundreds of hours into Inquisition. It had this minigame called astrariums where you had to solve these shapes based on constellation guides by tracing stars. I'm a hobby game dev and wondered if I could procedurally generate these puzzles so they were always solvable. Turns out you can, so I built a space puzzle game around it with a colorful aesthetic. I released it in web form here but I'm currently working on getting it on Steam and mobile. Comments URL...

After leaving his engagement celebration, Villefort questions Edmond Dantès, expecting to uncover a dangerous Bonapartist plot. Instead, he finds an honest young sailor carrying out a dead captain’s final request. Ready to release him, Villefort changes course when he discovers the letter is addressed to Noirtier—his own politically dangerous father. To protect his future, he destroys the evidence and secretly sacrifices Dantès.

In 2026, they have become part of the everyday conversation around crypto trading, automated strategy execution, portfolio monitoring, and multi-exchange trading workflows. This article draws on authoritative AI crypto trading bot rankings and hands-on platform research, especially Coin Bureau’s 2026 AI crypto trading bot guide , and combines that with publicly available information from each platform’s official we...

Learn how rear wall electron scattering inside windowless gaseous tritium sources introduces beta-spectrum contamination, providing crucial data corrections for the TRISTAN and KATRIN sterile neutrino searches.

This article argues that reliable event-driven systems should be designed for replayability as well as uptime. It introduces the concept of Recovery Contracts, a framework for defining authoritative history, replay boundaries, reconciliation checks, and recovery evidence so teams can rebuild state with confidence after failures.

Apple is looking to alleviate some of the pressure on its supply chain by seeking an exception from the Trump administration to buy RAM chips from CXMT, a company blacklisted by the Pentagon over ties to the People's Liberation Army, according to the Financial Times. The skyrocketing prices of RAM and storage have driven Apple […]

Maraget Atwood, the storied author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Blind Assassin, was interviewed as part of the Babell Literary and Cultural Festival in Porto, Portugal. As it usually does at these things, the issue of AI came up, and Atwood didn't mince words. According to Deadline's recap, Atwood said she'd used an AI […]

Paul Meade, the Apple vice president in charge of the Vision Pro headset, is reportedly leaving the company to join OpenAI’s hardware team.

During the last few days of the 100 Days Of Solana challenge, I explored one of the most interesting features of Solana's Token-2022 Program: extensions . If you're coming from Web2, think of Token-2022 extensions like middleware. Instead of creating an entirely new token standard every time you need a new feature, you simply enable additional behaviors on a mint. The token keeps following the SPL Token standard while gaining new capabilities such as transfer fees, interest-bearing ba...

Most AI projects start with code. I started with documentation. Before implementing O-AI, I spent weeks writing a complete engineering handbook covering architecture, memory systems, multi-agent design, security, testing, deployment, debugging, governance, and long-term maintainability. Why? Because AI projects grow fast—and without clear engineering principles they become impossible to maintain. Writing code is easy. Designing a system that can still evolve years later is much...

As a software engineer, a personal website is more than just an online resume it’s an open-ended canvas, a sandbox for testing new tech, and a reflection of how you approach software architecture. When I set out to build shubhkumar.in , I didn't want to just spin up a template or use a no-code builder. I wanted to build a production-grade, highly optimized, and scalable platform from scratch. Here is a look under the hood at the stack, the design decisions, the hosting setup, and the inev...

Everyone is building AI agents. Very few people are building the thing that sits between an AI agent and a disastrous decision. That's why I built XRisk. XRisk is an open-source autonomous safety engine that acts as a decision layer between an AI agent and the real world. Instead of blindly executing an action, an agent asks XRisk: "Should I actually do this?" XRisk responds with one of three deterministic decisions: ✅ Allow ⚠️ Confirm ❌ Block Why I Started This Project ...

AI is everywhere. Every day, a new tool promises to automate your work, answer your questions, or replace entire job roles. But after talking to business owners and operations teams, I kept hearing the same problem: «"Our issue isn't AI. Our issue is that nobody follows the same process."» The problem wasn't a lack of intelligence. It was a lack of consistency. The Same Question, Different Answers Imagine asking three employees how to handle a customer complaint. If you g...

GCC and Clang are the two dominant compilers that power low‑level systems programming. GCC, originally the GNU Compiler Collection, has been the standard choice for decades across Linux, BSD, and embedded targets, while Clang, introduced as part of the LLVM project, has gained traction for its modular design and tighter integration with modern tooling. Both compilers follow a multi‑stage compile process that transforms source code through preprocessing, parsing, semantic analysis, optimization, ...

It's 8:40 on a Tuesday evening. A dental clinic is closed, the front desk is dark, and the phone rings. A new patient wants to book a cleaning. Normally that call dies in voicemail, and the patient calls the next clinic on the list. We wanted to see what would happen if something picked up instead. So we built one — an AI that answers the phone, has a real conversation, and books the appointment. We named her Ava. Going in, we assumed the challenge would be making her sound human. That tur...

It's 2:14 a.m. and my phone is buzzing because a customer's instance won't get a floating IP. The alert is one line. The truth is somewhere in about forty thousand lines spread across nova-compute , neutron-server , the OVS agent, and libvirtd — each with its own timestamp format, its own idea of what a "request" is, and its own favorite way of burying the actual error under a wall of stack traces. This is the part of the job nobody puts on a slide. You are not solving a hard problem yet. Yo...

Most of the failures I see in production AI agents aren't reasoning failures. The model picks the right tool, fills in the right arguments, and makes a perfectly sensible decision. Then the agent charges the customer twice. The reason is mundane and has nothing to do with intelligence. A write-capable agent — one that can send an email, create a ticket, move money, or update a database — lives inside the same unreliable network as any other distributed system. Requests time out. Connections d...

Every side project starts the same way. -Generate an OpenAI key. -Add it to .env . -Write a wrapper. -Realize I also need Claude. -Create another account. -Another API key. -Another billing dashboard. Before the project even starts, I've already configured three different services. At some point I thought why not just make this a proper API and host it publicly? That's how Apiarium started. Why Not LiteLLM or OpenRouter? They're great projects. But I wan...

Habit stacking is one of my goals this year. I've been so focused on improving my software engineering skills, staying fit, and networking. But I realized I have completely ignored one habit: learning how money works . Software engineering is a lucrative career but that doesn't mean we are automatically good with money. Keeping money is a completely different skill from making money. Because of this, I've decided to read one chapter a day from the book "The Psychology of Money" a...
