This requires a coding harness, but so far this year I’ve been disappointed by all the harness offerings.

At its core a coding harness is essentially curl glued to popen() .

For those unfamiliar with coding harnesses: In a chat interface you and the AI take turns writing messages to each other.

A coding harness extends this concept, allowing an AI to “talk” to tools offered by the harness.

Built-in self-helpLike every harness, Prospero supports skills, a pre-packaged set of instructions on how to accomplish some task (“I know kung fu.”).

The chain started with two features that looked harmless on their own: a graph and an HTML Preview.

Since that page may contain arbitrary code, ChatGPT sensibly runs it inside a restricted frame on a different web address.

Code inside the Preview could not read parent.document , which is the main ChatGPT page.

Loading it did more than draw the graph: it also installed a listener in the main ChatGPT page for messages related to MathLive's on-screen keyboard.

Second, because the main ChatGPT page created the frame, the browser gave it the https://chatgpt.com web identity.

Raymond Chen published another story from the Windows development trenches, this time about what happens when you hold down the power button.

If you hold a PC’s power button for 12 seconds, it will turn off at the hardware level without notifying the operating system.

The baseline is that ATX always provides standby power to the motherboard, and pressing the power button shorts the power button pin to ground, telling the PSU to power on fully.

These emergency kernel dumps are internally classified as “long power button hold” (LPBH) failures.

One of the pieces of information recorded in these emergency kernel dumps is whether the screen consists entirely of black pixels.

Through experimentation, we find that gcc considers the threshold to be around eight jump table entries per case label.

quick_push ( min_cluster_item ( INT_MAX , INT_MAX , INT_MAX ) ) ; for ( unsigned j = 0 ; j < i ; j ++ ) { if ( min [ j ] .

Suppose we have already have found the optimal number of bitsets for the first j case label, for all .

The special case j == 0 represents a single jump table for the entire switch statement.

In BriefAnthropic is expected to receive a high “junk” rating from credit rating agencies following its initial public offering, according to a report from the Financial Times.

The FT says the investment giant Blackstone, the anchor investor in a recent $63 billion deal to finance Anthropic’s chips, told investors in the deal that it expects the AI lab to receive a “high” junk rating after its IPO.

Now Blackstone expects double B range rating, the top tier of speculative “junk” grade, according to the reporting.

Blackstone’s forecast is just a prediction, but naturally, a high junk rating would make it more difficult and costlier for Anthropic to raise the money to keep funding its massive …

Today, we are announcing sanstun : a sans-IO Rust implementation of the WireGuard® state machine, optimized for ease of use, security and performance through a parallel-friendly and idiomatic API.

Every WireGuard session starts with a Diffie-Hellman key exchange which is a moderately expensive operation.

These rate limits apply to an entire WireGuard interface and not just to a single tunnel.

A WireGuard interface is identified by a single key and a tunnel is a connection between two interfaces.

Being a sans-IO library, sanstun doesn't concern itself with how exactly you want to parallelize your crypto.

Welcome to the OTW status page!

Below is the current server status of our projects.

We will post incidents as we become aware of them and will provide updates as we have them.

How we built Gravity, the query engine in pgrust v0.4-beta, by starting from the speed limit of the hardware and working backward.

For pgrust v0.4, we wanted to go all the way and build a query compiler that generates optimal machine code for any SQL query.

Instead of incrementally speeding up our existing query engine, we wanted to start from the physical speed limit of our hardware and file format and work backward.

When the query arrives, the pgrust planner analyzes the table statistics and produces a standard query plan.

I built it for my three kids knowing nothing about electronics, and learned the whole thing by breaking things.

One figurine, one gesture, and each of them has their own box inside the same box.

Collateral damageI bought a 3D printer and built a workshop in the basementThere is one consequence I hadn’t foreseen, and it isn’t about the box.

You can start with the breadboard version, without soldering once, and only order the board if you catch the bug.

Rebuild it as is, following the files, and get the same box my kids have.

The thinking is not the problem itself—it is a sign of some other problem.

I knew the name of its type, but I had never gone and read the definition of the type—I didn’t really understand what that variable (a word or symbol) meant.

Go through each piece you need to learn until you really understand it, then move on to the next piece, and so on.

False IdeasMany people have been told that thinking is what smart people do, thus, they stop to think in order to make intelligent decisions.

One of the pieces of information recorded in these emergency kernel dumps is whether the screen consists entirely of black pixels.

Those failures are sub-classified as “black screen LPBH”, and they go to a special virtual team for analysis.

By Jack GanssleJack's Top TenPublished May, 2002 in Embedded Systems Programming.

But instead of ragging on Mel Gibson or making fun of any of a vast number of Congressional scandals, I'll hit embedded systems.

One hard-to-believe analysis (April 2004 Proceedings of the First Conference on Computing Frontiers) claims that embedded software doubles in size every 10 months.

Lots of research (for instance: http://www.stsc.hill.af.mil/crosstalk/2003/11/0311German.html) shows that Ada code has half or fewer bugs than C code.

6 - Poorly defined processWhile there is certainly an art to developing embedded systems, that doesn't mean there's no discipline.

By Sergey Tselovalnikov on 30 October 2026How hard is it to check for whitespace?

As you might've guessed from the name, this method checks whether a given character is a whitespace character.

The first thing one needs when inspecting a function that checks whether a character is whitespace is to define what whitespace actually is.

Checking for whitespace fastLet's say we've finally agreed on the set of characters we want to check – the current set of Unicode whitespace characters.

It contains all 25 Unicode whitespace characters, with some duplicates filling the remaining positions.

The patch gapOngoing access to frontier models allows Firefox to stay ahead of attackers, but can be undermined if attackers can indirectly learn about the findings of those frontier models.

In particular, it is sometimes possible to work backwards from a security fix to identify the vulnerability in the original unpatched code.

Nevertheless, we believe that time-based separation of the patch gap across different layers of defense will be an increasingly important tool over the coming months as attackers gain more powerful automated cyber capabilities.

The patch gap threat has increased, but we have the tools to structurally address it.

We are in this position thanks to years of investment …

When I told people I was joining Antithesis, I got two responses:“Cool!”“Why are you doing simulations?

Formal methods works okay for small, pure functions like leftpad, but gets really messy when we add concurrency, state, or other systems.

Run this on Antithesis for five minutes and it finds the 64-thread race a hundred times.

So, why am I joining Antithesis if I already do formal methods?

Because the formal methods I do verifies a low-fidelity blueprint of the system across all possible executions, while Antithesis verifies the actual system across a subset of executions.

AI giant Anthropic illegally scraped and pirated the work of over 10 Stanford professors to train its Claude models, a federal judge ruled in a May 2026 lawsuit.

Anthropic previously trained Claude on illegally obtained texts from professors Tobias Wolff, Abraham Verghese, Chang-Rae Lee, Daniel Mason, Hayagreeva Rao and Myra Strober.

He compared AI training to how humans can read, internalize and remember a book’s themes and style.

Wolff, along with English professor Chang-rae Lee, opted out of the Bartz settlement.

“I’m lucky that I’m able to have a life as a writer where I enjoy the profits of my work,” Wolff said.

Theoretical foundationsBeyond the empirical results, our sleep paradigm is grounded in a theory that clarifies why its two stages (memory consolidation and dreaming) can support continual learning without simply trading new knowledge for old capabilities.

For memory consolidation, the analysis shows that knowledge seeding can be understood as a structured, low-rank compression problem.

Instead, it identifies a compact set of directions that best preserve both the model’s own on-policy behavior and the semantic qualities rewarded by the learning objective.

For dreaming, the theory characterizes random expert activation and reward-based sample selection as mechanisms for improving the geometr…

Our frames are now tiny - since we discarded most of the detail information and half of the color information.

Amid all this machine intelligence-caused reordering, we foretell a new opportunity to purchase control over the Commanding Heights.

When firms reorder the Heights into a new compact of ownership, they are continuing a centuries-old ontology.

The functions of all firms can be traced through such varying arrangements of ownership, capital, labor, and their agglomeration.

Calculations by Commanding Heights.

It is popularly known as a venture capital firm, but such appearances are wildly deceiving.

See, I’ve got these old webpages I love to go back and look on every now and then.

(And if you don’t trust me to keep this up, and you want the web archive to host somewhere else?

Option 1 - ArchiveWeb.page browser extensionBy far the easiest personal web archiving tool is the ArchiveWeb.page browser extension for Chrome.

This is basically the same thing as the browser extension above, it just has its own web browser built in.

If you want to share it with the world, though, you can set up a website with your web archive on it.

Sometimes when I read a post, I get the growing feeling that I'm reading the output of an LLM.

I'm also suspicious of my own ability to accurately recognize LLM voice.

In particular I strongly recommend that authors should not fall into the trap of getting the LLM to write a draft.

Some have found LLM translation an important part to their communication with those of us who know rather less Marathi.

There are situations where it would be reasonable for even a native Englishman to let LLMs write the prose.

This is the kind of professional judgment we're testing with DAYJOB: Tax, the latest addition to Surge AI's DAYJOB benchmark family.

DAYJOB: Tax extends that work into tax preparation, compliance, and advisory services.

Attorneys for 15 Minnesota residents facing federal conspiracy charges have obtained evidence of a sweeping, possibly unconstitutional spying operation carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement against left-wing social movements in Minnesota and beyond.

Among the records revealed during the discovery process in these cases are dozens of reports, audio transcripts, emails, intercepted Signal chats, photographs, database queries, and more.

They reveal the inner workings of the domestic terrorism investigations, running under the names Project Whipple Shield and Operation Puppet Master, authorized by the controversial National Security Presidential Memorandum 7.

Gavriel describes the security concerns that led him to build a small, container-isolated alternative to OpenClaw, why he released it under the MIT license, and why the project’s community and credibility are more valuable than keeping its code private.

They explore the shift from writing code to architecting the environments in which agents work, NanoClaw’s “skills over features” approach, the approval and governance layers required inside large companies, and a future where every worker manages agent…

ZDNET’s key takeaways:Less than 1% of active devices run Android 17, according to recent data.

Android 17 adoption hasn’t been speedy.

According to the most recent data from heise.de via Android Studio, as reported by Android Authority, Android 17 has reached just 1% of active devices since its release in June 2026.

Though the numbers indicate that almost 60% of active Android devices are running Android 14 or newer, about 40% of users haven’t even upgraded to Android 14 or later.

Also: This Android 17 setting logs suspicious activity on your phone for troubleshootingWhile the numbers are staggering, they’re not surprising.

Samsung Galaxy users will receive more details about their sleep apnea.

Also: Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 reviewHow the Galaxy Watch sleep apnea feature worksUsers wear a Galaxy Watch to sleep for a few nights, and the sleep apnea results are divided into three stages: mild, occasional, and frequent.

Many smartwatch and health tracker companies have implemented some sleep apnea detection features on their devices.

Also: Galaxy Watch 9 vs. Galaxy Watch 8Of course, the Galaxy Watch can’t aid in the treatment plan of a sleep apnea diagnosis.

Samsung says an update will bring the advanced sleep apnea detection to Galaxy Watch 7 and 8 through future software updates.

The device serves as a calendar, smart home hub, and more.

I’ve been tempted by smart display calendars like the Skylight, but they seemed a little gimmicky and expensive for what’s essentially a large tablet.

Since my current device is an Echo Show 5 — the small counter-top version — it’s not exactly comparable.

Also: The 4 biggest Amazon smart home announcements from this weekMy current Show can display lists and events, but it doesn’t have a permanently present display.

I’m already heavily invested in the Amazon ecosystem, so it makes sense that I’d bring a display into the fold as my new smart home centerpiece.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysCertain Netgear routers are vulnerable to security exploits.

Do you own a Netgear router?

The good news: This exploit affects only a small number of Netgear routers, and the company has already issued patches to squash the bugs.

The remaining Netgear router impacted by security flaws is also at end-of-service, and the latest firmware won’t fix its security flaws.

Bluetooth headphones with LE Audio transmit audio in new ways across the board.

Your LE Audio headphones have several less-discussed new tricks.

The shift from Classic Bluetooth to LE Audio is in full swing, as JBL and Sony release flagship headphones and earbuds with built-in LE Audio.

LE Audio consolidates these two profiles, creating higher-quality, bidirectional audio and preserving voice call quality when using wireless headphones.

Battery drain no moreEarlier this year, JBL gave its flagship Tour Pro 3 earbuds an OTA firmware update to support LE Audio, and Sony’s WF-1000XM6 earbuds, released in February, have LE Audio support out of the box.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysFirefox 159 patches 167 security flaws, most of which are of high severity.

Sharing login credentials with AI agents is risky.

The age-old warning “don’t share your passwords with anyone” applies to AI agents, too.

In an email blast titled “Protecting your finances in the AI world,” Bank of America advised customers against sharing their passwords with AI agents.

JPMorgan has already blocked Muse and AI agent Instinct from accessing bank accounts to seemingly get ahead of this AI privacy issue.

The first TPU in space is a running a Google DeepMind Gemma 4 model and writing cheesy poetry.

Google's first experimental space-based data center is operational after launching earlier this month, successfully running its Gemma 4 AI model aboard a satellite and generating a haiku about being in orbit. TechCrunch reports: The satellite, which carries four Google Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) and generates up to 1 kW of electricity, is intended to pave the way for future networks of close-flying satellites performing large inference workloads in orbit. However, the power demands of the TPU mean it can only turn one on for about 20 minutes at a time, complicating the already tricky business of space-to-ground communications. After a commissioning process that tested out the satellite'…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Fortune: Gen Z can't catch a break. Entry-level jobs are vanishing; some 40% of bosses say they plan to hire fewer grads because AI can do the job cheaper, and young workers are routinely slammed for showing up late and refusing to put in overtime for free. Cisco's president and chief product officer Jeetu Patel isn't buying it -- he's just handed one of the company's biggest jobs to a 27-year-old he found hidden in the org chart "five levels" below him. "I've given him unlimited tokens because he's going to refactor code," Patel told Fortune at a small roundtable dinner. "So I'm like, you can go, you can go nuts." The "him" is Padmanabhan Krishnamur…

In an opinion piece for 404 Media, Matthew Gault argues that Apple has entered its "slop era," abandoning its reputation for innovative hardware in favor of recycled ideas and questionable design choices. Here's an excerpt: My ears perked up when I heard Apple's new foldable phones were cracking. I licked my lips when the company announced it's releasing a touch-screen laptop. This was a company that once charged $19 for a polishing cloth, asked $200 for a VESA mount, and sold $700 wheels for the Mac Pro. Now it's borrowing tired ideas from its competitors and launching hardware its previous leaders rejected. The once dominant company is struggling to find its feet in an AI-driven post-Tim …

Meta has reached an undisclosed settlement in another social media addiction lawsuit, avoiding a trial scheduled for next month and leaving Snap as the sole remaining defendant. Engadget reports: The lawsuit was brought by an 18-year-old woman from Mississippi known as K.D.B who, according to Reuters, has "described staying awake for hours scrolling social media, losing focus in class and engaging in self-harm using methods shown in social media videos." Jury selection kicked off earlier this week in Los Angeles. On Friday, K.D.B's lawyer announced that she had reached a settlement with Meta after previously settling with TikTok and YouTube. "We remain committed to improving safety for kids…

"Looks like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wants to own all the computing resources and rent out terminals to the world as a way of propping up his business plan, now that debt-ridden AI companies are teetering on the edge," writes ancient Slashdot reader Gilmoure. Tom's Hardware reports: In an interview over beers with the YouTube channel Cheeky Pint, Altman said that local inference, and, by extension, people having DRAM in computers at home, is "quite terrible." When discussing local inference on home computers with open-source models, Altman discussed the assumption that people will be able to run local AI on their own computers, the ones they may already own or want to build. Then he explained …

The Justice Department has charged five people in a crackdown on "ghost student" fraud, in which scammers allegedly use stolen identities and AI to enroll fake students in colleges, complete coursework, and collect federal student loan funds. Ars Technica reports: In a press release Thursday, the Department of Justice said it had uncovered a large-scale scheme relying partly on AI. The DOJ seized more than $750,000 in cryptocurrency from "a network associated with Kenyan nationals" after data analysis helped flag likely fraudsters. Assistant Attorney General Colin M.

U.S. technology stocks plunged for a second consecutive day on Friday as investors grew increasingly concerned about the enormous cost of artificial intelligence development and whether those investments will pay off. The Nasdaq fell more than 3.5%, while Intel shares dropped as much as 30%, Reddit fell 26%, and Alphabet extended its losses after shedding more than $500 billion in market value Thursday. The BBC notes that Meta, Alphabet, Oracle, Amazon, and Microsoft have collectively committed to spending $800.6 billion on AI in 2026. From the report: Chris Low, from investment management firm FHN Financial, said the bulk of what was happening in the stock market was in reaction to some of…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: General Motors will pay $220 million to 36 states to settle allegations that it illegally sold private driving behavior and location information to data brokers. As part of the settlement, GM must get drivers' express consent before it collects or shares their driving and location data -- terms that are in line with separate agreements it previously reached with California and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). This settlement does contain a new requirement that GM must have a third party assess the automaker's compliance with the privacy program it has put in place. The agreement announced Thursday settles a lawsuit brought by a coaliti…

Under the UK's planned social media ban, more than 100,000 British teenagers aged 16 and 17 could initially be locked out of social media because they lack a passport or driving license that may be needed as a fallback for age verification. The Guardian reports: Ofcom, the UK's online watchdog, said about 150,000 16- to 17-year-olds do not own a passport or driving licence, which are likely to be needed to access age-restricted platforms. The Australia-style ban on under-16s accessing social media services, including Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, is due to come into force next spring. The head of Ofcom, Melanie Dawes, said "motivated children" would seek to bypass the restrictions, as has …

Reddit plans to require users to log in to browse the platform, ending its longstanding practice of allowing anonymous visitors to access posts and discussions. According to CEO Steve Huffman, a key reason behind the decision is to curb unauthorized scraping and automated traffic. "This is a big change for Reddit, where we've allowed logged-out access to basically all of Reddit for the last two decades," Huffman says. "And I don't know about you, but as someone whose life has been defined by the open internet, it's a big change for me. But I've come to the conclusion that this is the right decision for our platform and the right decision for our business." The Verge reports: There's no defi…

UPDATE 10/30/26: Binance has temporarily suspended customer withdrawals after suffering what investigators say is the biggest crypto hack in history. According to Binance CEO Yi He, the company estimates roughly $6.3 billion in funds were impacted, with roughly $3 billion in assets frozen on-chain so far. Rest assured, "your money is safe, and we're covering every loss," said co-CEO Richard Teng in a LinkedIn post. "This was a complex attack," said Teng. "The attacker also used a self-destruct mechanism that destroyed tooling and tracers, making it more difficult for us to trace." From a report: Teng said the incident was not carried out by one person. While the initial investigation indica…

But, with all due respect to Xav, do those facts make him a person of note? Should you expect to be able to read about him on Wikipedia?

Числа на графике такие: Кими — 65,7%, Опус — 64,85%, чуть хуже: Но если посмотреть, то Опус кажется более плохим, и дело не в масштабе не от нуля, который растягивает масштаб.

Максим, привет!

В вакансиях часто указывают, что ожидают от кандидата кейсы работы, схожей с той, которой предстоит заниматься. И бывает, что кандидат отлично подходит по навыкам и хорошо разбирается в перечисленных задачах, но только в теории. В таких случаях логично отправить демо-кейсы вида «Вот как бы я переделал это и это», которые покажут, как кандидат умеет применять свои знания.

Как считаешь, какой контент лучше подойдёт для такой задачи — тот, что уже есть у работодателя, или его конкурента? И каков риск, что работодатель воспримет демо-кейсы со своим контентом как заявление «Ваши текст — говно, я могу лучше»?

Netflix has a solid business, which is exactly the problem: the company increasingly seems like a business and not a franchise, at least in terms of growth.

Расскажите о выключателе и слайдере

Я сделал скилл для делания прототипов. С ним ваш клод или кодекс соберет более удобный кликабельный прототип, а вы сможете легко его потом доработать Скринкаст: Зачем

Иногда проще не тащить реальную дизайн-систему и не писать сразу на свифте, котлине или реакт нейтиве. Клод быстрее соберет отдельный изолированный хтмл-файл, и успеет его три раза поправить, пока нпм ставит все зависимости вашей дизайн-системы.

Всё лежит в одном файле: экраны, логика, комментарии, картинки, иконки. Его можно кинуть коллегам, он откроется у них в браузере так же, как у вас.

Что в скилле

Главное в скилле — не сами экраны, а обвязка, в которой их удобно смотреть и обсуждать. Она одинаковая во всех прототипах. Аг…

Apple has a lot of trust in terms of delivering integrated products and preserving privacy; the real trust question is if you think Siri AI will justify investing more in their ecosystem.

TadpoleAn LLM agent built from scratch, and grown one stage at a time.

Each stage adds one mechanism with tests and measured evidence, from the first agent loop to SFT, expert iteration and a GRPO pilot.

Keep it running 24/7Use an always-on machine: a Mac that does not sleep, a home server, or a small cloud VM with an API model (1 GB is enough).

Post-training resultsThe agent's code, prompts and tools were frozen, with planning off (no update_plan tool); only the weights changed.

One training run per model, on a small local benchmark: not a claim about general agent ability.

I’ve noticed that writing a good prompt for AI video can be surprisingly tricky. Adding more details doesn’t always mean getting a better result especially when you’re trying to control camera movement, lighting and the overall mood of a scene. I came across DreamBench AI while exploring video generation tools with different models and it got me thinking about how much the model itself matters compared with the prompt. For those who make AI videos regularly, what has helped you improve your results the most? Better prompts, reference images or just testing different models until one gets close to what you imagined? submitted by /u/Luann1497 [link] [comments]

I've been down a rabbit hole lately and keep noticing the same thing with friends, family, honestly myself at times: - Lack of consolidation across different financial asses/ products making the holistic picture unclear - Thousands sitting in a current account earning ~0% when easy-access is paying 4–5% - A vague feeling of "I think I overspend?" but no clear picture of where - No idea which savings account / ISA is actually best for their situation (the 7% headline ones are usually capped regular savers, etc.) - Proper financial advice costs £1–2k/yr or wants a £50k+ minimum, so most people just get... nothing I'm toying with the idea of an AI-powered app that connects your accounts, tells…

Hi everyone, I love reading comments while watching YouTube — half the fun is in the reactions and the extra context people add. But every time I scrolled down to read them, I lost the video. Picture-in-picture felt too small, so I finally just built the thing I wanted. It's a free Chrome extension that moves the comment section into the right sidebar, next to the video: • Tab switch — flip between "Comments" and "Recommended" with one click, and each tab remembers its scroll position • Drag to resize — make the comment column as wide as you like (340–850px), double-click to reset • Plays nicely with YouTube — live chat, playlists/mixes and the Q&A panel still work as usual • Tiny and fast …

I'm the creator of Roach Land, an early web app that brings together civic news links, a Constitution reader and emergency helplines for India. It opens without an account. The part I'd most like feedback on is how clearly it separates information from actions: news cards link to their sources, helpline buttons show a confirmation before opening the dialer, and the SOS composer prepares a message for you to review and send yourself. Try it: https://roachland.budwhyybuilds.workers.dev/ A few things to try without making a real call or sending anything: - Find an Article in the Constitution reader. - Open a helpline confirmation, then cancel. - Open the SOS composer and check whether its purp…

stikchat.com is my sideproject to give video calls a "talking stick". The problem I'm trying to solve: people have all sorts of frustrating discussions, all the time. But some would've been cool if people couldn't talk over each other, if they some had some way to "coordinate". It's a single-click operation to pass the stick, I wanted it to be as easy as possible. It currently uses WebRTC peer-to-peer, so very tiny groups can use it without paying for server hosting. I could later expand this if there was demand for bigger rooms with more people. I also tried to make it super easy to try (no signup and no download). If I'm on, you'll see a preview of me on the home page. I'll try to be on i…

I’m building Party Pix for parties and small gatherings. The host connects Google Drive and shares a QR code. Guests open a browser camera and take new photos. Captures upload directly to the host’s Drive. Guests don’t need an account or app download. Party Pix is currently free, with no ads. It captures new photos; it doesn’t upload existing camera-roll photos. I’d like feedback from people planning a gathering: does this fit your event? What would stop you from trying it? See the walkthrough: https://partypix.click/ submitted by /u/desiDhakkan [link] [comments]

Please hear me out: I have been using Quicken for decades and have not seen any significant improvement. If anything, it's become bloated, slow and at times unreliable in downloading transactions. After seeing a single developer burning AI credits to rebuild Photoshop and it's kin, I am wondering if there is a savior among us brave enough to attempt to write a simpler, better version of Quicken? I don't want to compete with Quicken -- this would be for an individual person alone and not to sell or compete with them. My pet peeves with Quicken is that it is unreliable when downloading from multiple accounts and institutions. (The search and reporting feature is difficult to navigate especial…

Want to cure your plant blindness? Want to get better at recognizing the birds you see on your commute? Want a preview of the wildlife you'll see on your next vacation? I made KnowKi because I think caring for our more-than-human kin starts with recognizing them. It works a bit like Duolingo, but you learn the wild species around you instead of a language: Set your home area and choose a group (birds, plants, insects, mammals, fish, and more). KnowKi builds a path from the species most often recorded near you, using research-grade photos from iNaturalist. Short lessons: meet species, match them to new photos, then practice. Species come back on a spaced schedule until you can recognize them…

Hi all. I'm the developer of LocalGateKeys. I wanted a password manager where my vault never sits on someone else's server, but that still keeps my PC and phone in sync. So I built one. The short version No account, no LocalGateKeys cloud. The vault is one encrypted file on your device. Encryption: Argon2id for the master password, AES-256-GCM for the vault. Windows, Mac, iPhone (+ Apple Watch codes) and Android, plus a browser extension for Chrome/Edge that talks only to the desktop app on the same PC (native messaging, no network). No analytics, no tracking, no ads. How sync works (with no server) You pick one of two ways, or use both: Wi-Fi, device to device. Your devices talk directly o…

Got bored during a lecture, so here’s a demo of the project I’ve spent the past few months building: Holoscape. It uses your webcam to track your head and shift a 3D wallpaper’s perspective, making your screen feel like a window. I’ve been improving stability and performance—it now uses around 2% CPU on my setup. I’m bringing it to Steam! If you like it, please wishlist Holoscape. Thanks for supporting something I’ve put a lot of time into. submitted by /u/Apart-Medium6539 [link] [comments]

I'm a solo developer in New Zealand. For the past few months I've been building Matcha, a dating app for people who want something serious. The problem I kept seeing: matching is easy, but most matches never turn into a date. The chat dies somewhere around "so where should we go?", especially when one person would have to travel across town. So I built Meet in the middle: In the chat, pick coffee, drinks or food, a day and a time Matcha works out the halfway point between your two areas and finds places near it that are actually open at that time You see the spot with its photo, rating and hours, and can flick through a couple of others Send it, and your match accepts with one tap. You both…

Hey everyone! I've been working on a project called JumPHP, and I'd love to get your feedback! The idea is simple but a little unusual: what if you could create retro video games using PHP? JumPHP is a game development environment built around PHP and SDL. It allows you to write actual PHP code to create games, with graphics, sound, input handling, and real-time gameplay. What can you do with it? 🎮 Create retro games using PHP. 🖥️ Run games as native desktop applications. 🌐 Compile and run your games in the browser using WebAssembly. 📱 Build native Android applications (no browser or WebView required). 🤖 Use AI assistants to help create games through an MCP server. I've also put together an…

For anyone outside the UK: a vidiprinter is the scrolling teletype of football scores that used to run on TV on a Saturday afternoon. Every goal, red card and full-time score, typed out line by line as it happens. UK people would remember it on Grandstand with Des Lynam. Earlier this year I made a World Cup site that got about 114K visitors (and around $3k USD in Buy Me A Coffee donations) in a month off a couple of Reddit posts, which convinced me to build something permanent: Scorr (scorr.live): live scores, fixtures and tables for 30+ competitions. The momentum from the World Cup site definitely didn't carry over as I hoped (but sort of expected this would happen!). Hard to compete with …

I've been building optimAIzr for a while now, and it's been awesome seeing people actually use it and star the repo. I'm a senior SWE and built it to track and optimize AI coding usage across claude code, codex and opencode. Just shipped v0.13.0 with a VS Code extension. Context usage, cache countdowns, 5h limits and savings, all directly inside the editor. git: https://github.com/blendbunjaku/optimaizr Free, open source and fully local.

This week, we tracked more than 60 tech funding deals worth over €1.3 billion and over 10 exits, M&A transactions, rumours, and related news stories across Europe.

Britain has no shortage of startup ambition, but can it turn that success into companies that scale and stay?

The UK attracted €14 billion in startup funding in H1 2026, yet access to later-stage capital, customers, talent and infrastructure remains a challenge.

The real test isn't how many startups Britain creates, but how many it can help grow into lasting global businesses.

Rieche has now been CEO at Iwoca for nearly 15 years, which, he admits, is a long stint steering a startup or scaleup.

It had hired tech investment bank Qatalyst Partners to oversee the auction, with a sale value of over £1bn.

But it doesn’t have any impact on our strategy.”Does that mean an outright sale, IPO or secondary share sale?

Its jump in revenues comes amid incumbent banks retreating from SME financing, with challengers like Iwoca eating up market share.

Typically, Rieche works from 8.30am until around 8pm, with half his time on Iwoca’s UK business, the rest divided up between its German business and new initiatives.
