This article was originally published on aicoderscope.com On paper, Windsurf and Cursor are the same product. Both are standalone IDEs forked from VS Code. Both charge $20/month for their entry paid tier. Both ship a tab-completion model and a multi-file agent. Both wire in the same frontier models — GPT-5, Claude Opus, Gemini. Reviews that score them feature-by-feature end up in 47-43 ties because the feature lists genuinely match. That kind of comparison misses the point. The two editors feel different to use, and the difference matters more than the feature checklist. This piece tests both side-by-side across two weeks of normal client work — Python, TypeScript, Go — and lands on a clear verdict at the end about which one fits which kind of developer. Pricing and feature claims here were verified against Windsurf's pricing page and Cursor's pricing page on May 5, 2026. Both vendors change pricing more than most editors — re-verify before subscribing. Pricing: nearly identical The pricing tables converged in 2025 and have stayed mirrored since: Tier Cursor Windsurf Free Hobby (limited Agent + Tab) Free Entry paid Pro $20/mo Pro $20/mo Heavy individual Pro+ $60/mo (3× usage) / Ultra $200/mo (20× usage) Max $200/mo (heavy users, unlimited extra at API pricing) Team Teams $40/user/mo Teams $40/user/mo Enterprise Custom Custom Cursor offers a middle tier (Pro+ at $60) that Windsurf doesn't match exactly. Windsurf has a "Light" plan with unlimited usage on cheaper models that Cursor doesn't have. These are minor — for the typical individual developer choice, both are $20/month for Pro and $200/month for the power-user tier . The entry decision is therefore not a price decision. It's a workflow-fit decision. Both ship a standalone editor A common misconception: "Windsurf is a VS Code extension, Cursor is its own editor." Both are standalone applications. Both fork VS Code. Both can install most VS Code extensions from the Open VSX Registry (with occasional compatibility

This is a submission for the Hermes Agent Challenge : Build With Hermes Agent What I Built A small backstory on my coding origins I learnt coding by secretly studying from a python book pdf on my Computer Scientist father's work laptop. That very day I wrote a program that inputs a user's name and prints: "You are mad {name}!" and had a lot of fun pranking my brother using that script. Since then, there have been very few moments where coding felt as magical, because the more you understand syntax, the more you understand the magic underneath your code. That is, until you meet a genius piece of magic such as Hermes. My app idea I built a Fitness coach inside Hermes that learns and adapts based on your daily feedback. According to your goals, performance, and time allocated, it adjusts your current plan. For the purpose of this hackathon I tested it via terminal ui (tui) but I plan to release the polished version on chat apps such as telgram and whatsapp for painless daily checkins. Demo Code Github link My Tech Stack Hermes + node.js. Kept it simple for this quick dive. How I Used Hermes Agent Building an AI application that feels truly personal requires more than just a clever prompt; it requires state, memory, and the ability to adapt over time. During a recent hackathon, I set out to build an autonomous AI fitness coach. Not just a chatbot that spits out generic workout templates, but a system that onboards a user, sets a multi-month timeline, generates habit blocks, and adjusts daily based on feedback. To achieve this, I used Hermes , an agentic framework designed for stateful, long-running applications. Here is a breakdown of how I built it, the challenges faced, and why Hermes was the perfect tool for the job. Why This App is a Perfect Fit for Hermes Most LLM interactions are stateless. You ask a question, you get an answer, and the session ends. A fitness journey, however, is a deeply stateful process. It spans weeks or months and requires constant recalibrat

This article was originally published on aicoderscope.com On April 28, 2026, Warp open-sourced its terminal client under AGPL-3.0, picked up 60,000 GitHub stars, and declared itself an "agentic development environment." OpenAI signed on as founding sponsor. The announcement looked like a triumph of developer-first idealism. Read the fine print and a different picture emerges: the terminal is free; the product that matters — Oz, Warp's cloud agent orchestration platform — remains fully proprietary. Warp is not becoming an open-source project. It is becoming an enterprise SaaS company with an open-source frontend. None of that is inherently bad. But it is what this review is actually about: does the $20/month Build plan deliver enough AI value to justify adding Warp to a stack that probably already includes Cursor or Claude Code? What Warp is in May 2026 Warp's product now has three layers: Warp Terminal — the terminal client, open-source AGPL-3.0. Rust-based, GPU-accelerated, available on Mac, Linux, and Windows. The core terminal features (blocks, Warp Drive, session sharing, settings file) are free and remain free. Warp Agent — an AI coding agent embedded in the terminal. Runs locally for interactive work. Handles natural language command generation, code review, debugging assistance, codebase Q&A, and voice input. Consumes credits from your plan. Oz — Warp's proprietary cloud orchestration platform. Runs agents in the background, coordinates multi-agent workflows, triggers on events from Slack, Linear, or GitHub Actions, and orchestrates third-party CLI agents including Claude Code and Codex. Oz is where the enterprise pitch lives. Around 1 million developers use Warp as their primary terminal. The pivot to agentic tooling is a bet that those developers will pay to automate their workflows beyond what a local agent session can handle. Pricing breakdown Warp simplified its pricing in December 2025, replacing the old Pro/Turbo/Lightspeed tiers with two paid plans. P

Tuples, Sets, and Dictionaries in Python In the previous lesson, we learned about Lists and how they are used to store multiple items in a single variable. Today, we will learn about three important Python data structures: Tuples Sets Dictionaries These data structures help programmers organize and manage data efficiently in different situations. 1. Tuples in Python A Tuple is a collection of items stored in a single variable. Tuples are: Ordered Unchangeable (Immutable) Allow duplicate values Tuples are created using parentheses "()". Example languages = ( " Python " , " Java " , " C++ " ) print ( languages ) Output ( ' Python ' , ' Java ' , ' C++ ' ) Accessing Tuple Items Tuple items are accessed using indexes. Example languages = ( " Python " , " Java " , " C++ " ) print ( languages [ 0 ]) print ( languages [ 1 ]) Output Python Java Negative Indexing in Tuples Example languages = ( " Python " , " Java " , " C++ " ) print ( languages [ - 1 ]) Output C ++ Tuple Length The "len()" function returns the number of items in a tuple. Example numbers = ( 10 , 20 , 30 ) print ( len ( numbers )) Output 3 Why Tuples are Important Tuples are useful when data should not be modified accidentally. They are commonly used for: Fixed data Coordinates Database records Returning multiple values from functions 2. Sets in Python A Set is a collection of unique items. Sets are: Unordered Unchangeable items Do not allow duplicates Sets are created using curly brackets "{}". Example numbers = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 } print ( numbers ) Output {1, 2, 3, 4} Duplicate Values in Sets Sets automatically remove duplicate values. Example numbers = { 1 , 2 , 2 , 3 , 4 } print ( numbers ) Output {1, 2, 3, 4} Adding Items to a Set The "add()" method inserts a new item into a set. Example numbers = { 1 , 2 , 3 } numbers . add ( 4 ) print ( numbers ) Output {1, 2, 3, 4} Removing Items from a Set The "remove()" method removes an item from a set. Example numbers = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 } numbers . remove ( 2 ) print

NVIDIA claims the new RTX Spark chip for PCs will offer 1 petaflop of AI computing power.

Without revealing too much information, what were the circumstances? submitted by /u/XTXinverseXTY [link] [留言]

Once upon a time, Microsoft had to write off $900 million betting an Arm-based Nvidia chip could power its first flagship Windows portable, the original Microsoft Surface. But today, it's trying again. Microsoft and Nvidia have just announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, a computer with a new Arm-based Nvidia chip at its core. There's a […]

This fall, Nvidia will officially become a consumer PC chipmaker like Intel, AMD, Apple, and Qualcomm, putting a complete computing chip - not just graphics - into the very heart of laptops and mini-PCs. After many months of leaks, it's finally announcing the RTX Spark, the first in a family of chips that will meet […]

The row looked perfect. rating: 7 . Valid JSON, right type, no nulls, no missing keys. My schema check waved it through. The page had returned HTTP 200. The selectors hadn't moved. Everything green. A rating of 7 on a 5-star site is impossible. The model invented it, formatted it correctly, and handed it to me with total confidence. That's the failure I want to talk about. Not the scraper that breaks loudly. The one that hands you a clean-looking row that is quietly, plausibly false — and sails past every check you have, because your checks are all looking at the shape of the data, and the lie is in the value . TL;DR HTTP 200, intact selectors, and valid JSON tell you the form is fine. They say nothing about whether the value is true. When an LLM extracts from messy free-text, structured-output mode guarantees you get valid JSON. It does not guarantee the content is real. The model fills uncertain fields rather than leaving them empty — because the schema demands a complete row. A ~60-line value-level sanity gate (ranges, dates, cross-field, reference, language) catches the obvious lies before they hit your database. Real code and real output below. The honest catch: this gate catches rule violations , not plausible lies inside the allowed range . A rating: 4 where the truth is 2 slides right through. I'll be specific about where the gate stops. Two different ways a scraper lies to you I wrote about source drift last week — the case where the page changes underneath you and a 30-line schema check catches the structure shifting. That's an input problem. The source mutated; your agreement with the page broke; you detect it by watching the shape. This is the other end of the pipe. The source is fine. The page is intact, the selectors are correct, the structure is exactly what you expected. The thing that lied to you is the model , on the extraction step, when you asked it to pull structured fields out of a paragraph of human prose. Those two failures feel similar and t

I spent way too long staring at this error. If you're here, you probably are too. Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages. Problem 1 - Root composer.json requires php ^8.3 but your php version (8.2.30) does not satisfy that requirement. My Laravel 13 app needed PHP 8.3. My Hostinger server was running 8.2. composer install refused to budge. Here's exactly what happened and the one-liner that fixed it. The Setup I was deploying a Laravel 13 + Inertia + React app to Hostinger shared hosting. Laravel 13 requires PHP 8.3 minimum — and so do its locked Symfony 8.x and PHPUnit 12.x dependencies. My composer.lock had been generated on a local machine with PHP 8.3, but Hostinger's CLI was defaulting to 8.2. The hPanel showed PHP 8.3 selected under PHP Configuration . The website itself was running fine on 8.3. But SSH? Still on 8.2. $ php -v PHP 8.2.30 ( cli ) That disconnect — hPanel vs. CLI — is the trap. What I Tried First composer update My first instinct was to just let Composer resolve newer compatible versions: composer update No luck. The root composer.json itself declared "php": "^8.3" , so Composer refused before even touching the lock file. The PHP constraint wasn't just in dependencies — it was in my own project requirements. composer install --ignore-platform-reqs This flag skips platform checks and forces the install anyway. It works , but it's a lie — you end up with packages that may behave incorrectly or fail at runtime because they genuinely require PHP 8.3 features. Not a real fix. Changing PHP in hPanel Hostinger's control panel has a PHP version switcher under Hosting → Manage → PHP Configuration . I had already set this to 8.3. This controls the web server / FPM version — what runs your .php files in the browser. It does not change what php points to in your SSH terminal. That's the key distinction most tutorials miss. What Actually Fixed It Hostinger installs multiple PHP versions in parallel. They live in /opt/alt/ph

Based on real system architecture decisions. About a $660K AI platform, three AI agents that kept the dashboard green, and a P0 incident that cost $3.15M over one weekend. Act 1 · The All-Hands Meeting Wang Lei, VP of Product, stood in front of the big screen, a smile on his face. Behind him, a dashboard rolled data from the "Axon AI Client Engineering Platform — Q1 Performance Report." Numbers cascaded across the wall: Metric Axon Platform Human Team (Last Q1) Improvement Avg daily tickets processed 847 312 +171% Avg first response time 12s 4h 17m ↓ 99.92% Customer satisfaction 4.8/5 4.1/5 +17% Monthly operating cost $52K $133K −61% Twelve department heads sat in the room. Dead silence. Wang Lei planted both hands on the table and scanned the room. His eyes landed on me. "Alex. Your team processed 312 tickets last Q1. Axon processed more than that in a single day last month." He smiled. Not a friendly smile. A sentencing smile. "And Axon costs less than a third of your team's operating expense." "We invested $660K in the whole platform. At current operating costs, it pays for itself in eighteen months." "After management review — the Client Engineering technical liaison function is being fully transitioned to the Axon platform." He clicked to the next slide. "Employees in replaced roles will complete exit interviews within the week." Someone inhaled sharply. I didn't. I opened my notebook to page 37. "Wang, what dimensions are these numbers from?" "What do you mean, 'what dimensions'?" His smile tightened. "Of those 847 daily tickets — how many are auto-tagging and routing, and how many are actual technical resolutions?" The room went quiet for about five seconds. Wang Lei looked at me. "Axon's ticket closure rate is ninety-three percent." "What's the reopen rate?" He paused. "What?" "After Axon replies — how many customers reopen the same ticket within twenty-four hours?" "We're still collecting that —" "Let me save you the trouble." I turned my notebook toward th

[Paper Notes] JEPA: Self-Supervised Learning from Images with a Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture 🔗 TL;DR: JEPA learns a a generalized semantic representation with less data pairs by predicting missing information in the embedding space , which helps it disregard unnecessary noisy from input(pixel)-level details and learns at a higher abstraction level with good semantic generalization. 1. Innovation & Significance The Bottleneck: Image-text data pair labels are hard to find Pixel level pre-training paired & data augmentation are strongly biased towards trained data distribution, hard to determine proper generalization and level of abstraction. JEA's (Joint Embedding Architecture) collapse probelm: encoder & decoder attempts to cheat by always landing on trivial constant when predicting itself (reconstruction) and gets away with an easy Error=0. The Solution: > Chain-of-thought ⭕ Mask pre-training to reduce data & generalize↓❌ Bad/lower semantic representation without semantic target, could be learning noisy local pixel correlation↓⭕ Learn at the embedding level to omit pixel input and generalize⭕ Adds context encoder & positional encoding to inject context and force model to pick up image inherent structure from reconstructing multiple masked patches with one target.↓❌ JEAs wants to cheat: if I always map all pixels to a constant for both the predictor and end target encoder then the reconstruction error is always collapsed to zero! Hehe~ ↓ ⭕ EMA (Exponential moving avg.): Update target encoder parameters from the EMA of context encoders. This 'delays' the target encoder to prevent collapsing (a trick from the BYOL paper[2020], proven essential to training JEAs with ViT). 2. Model & High-Level Intuitions 2.1 Model Architecture Input: randomly samples block masks from original image within certain aspect ratio changes, and apply mask for context image 2.1.2 Context Context Encoder: ViT encodes context image to embedding SxS_x S x ​ Mask Token : an [1,D] random

Introduction to AWS certifications First things first, lets understand what the AWS Security Specialty certification is and where it fits in the AWS certification ecosystem. AWS certifications are divided into levels, each one targeting a different stage of your journey: Practitioner Associate Professional Specialty The practitioner level is where most people start. It focuses on foundational cloud concepts and basic AWS knowledge. As of today, there are two certifications at this level: AWS Cloud Practitioner AWS AI Practitioner The Cloud Practitioner covers core concepts like IAM, security, availability, pricing, and general cloud architecture. The AI Practitioner follows a similar structure, but focused on AI concepts and AWS AI services. The associate level is where things start to get more practical. At this level, you are expected to understand how to design and build solutions using AWS services. Some well-known certifications here are: Solutions Architect Associate Developer Associate SysOps Administrator The professional level goes much deeper. Here, you are expected to design complex architectures, handle trade offs, and make decisions based on real world constraints. The main certifications are: Solutions Architect Professional DevOps Engineer Professional Finally, we have the specialty certifications. These are focused on specific domains and require deep knowledge in a particular area. Examples include: Security Specialty Machine Learning Specialty (Retired) Advanced Networking Specialty And this is exactly where things start to get serious. At this level, AWS is no longer testing if you understand the services. It's testing if you can actually apply them in complex, real world scenarios. What it is and who this certification is for The AWS Security Specialty is one of the most difficult certifications in your AWS journey. This exam expects that you already know the basics and are comfortable with complex and long detailed scenarios that you often come

This is a submission for the Hermes Agent Challenge Agentic Web3: Automating Blockchain Workflows with Hermes Tags: #hermesagentchallenge , #web3 , #agents , #solana The blockchain industry has spent the last decade building decentralized, permissionless infrastructure. However, the user experience layer interacting with this infrastructure remains overwhelmingly manual. Decentralized applications (dApps) require users to constantly monitor markets, parse complex data, and manually sign every transaction. The next evolution of Web3 isn't just about faster blockchains; it is about autonomous execution. By integrating large language models and agentic frameworks with smart contracts, we can transition from a paradigm of manual execution to intent-based autonomy . In this article, we will explore how to bridge the gap between AI and decentralized networks by automating blockchain workflows using the Hermes Agent framework. We will look at the architecture of an on-chain agent, how it reads and writes to a network, and how high-performance environments like Solana are making these agentic experiences viable. The Paradigm Shift: From Passive Wallets to Active Agents Currently, most AI in Web3 is limited to read-only analytical tools—chatbots that can summarize a smart contract or pull token prices from an API. While useful, these are fundamentally passive systems. An active agent is different. Powered by a framework like Hermes Agent, an active agent can: Observe: Continuously monitor on-chain events via RPC nodes or webhooks. Reason: Use its LLM core to interpret those events against a set of user-defined goals or risk parameters. Act: Formulate a transaction, sign it via a secure wallet environment, and broadcast it to the network. This opens up massive possibilities. Imagine an agent that automatically manages your decentralized finance (DeFi) positions, rebalancing a portfolio based on yield changes across different protocols. Or consider fully on-chain gaming, where

This isn't a tutorial. It's real experience. Most articles about making money with Python are vague: "Learn Python to make money" (then what?) "Do data analysis freelancing" (how to get clients?) "Write web scrapers" (legal gray area) I'll share my actual path: building an Excel template generator with Python, listing it for sale, and earning my first dollar. Why This Direction My background: Know Python, but not expert Made some automation scripts No product design experience Want products (scalable) not services (time-for-money) The opportunity: Huge Excel template market (many 10k+ sales on Gumroad) Templates are static, hard to customize I can make a "template generator" for customization Technical feasibility: Python's openpyxl generates Excel programmatically JSON config is user-friendly ~300 lines of code The Product Not an Excel file. A Python script that generates Excel files . Users get: generator.py - generator code config.json - configuration README.md - documentation Workflow: Edit config.json → Run python generator.py → Get customized Excel Technical Implementation Core code is simple: from openpyxl import Workbook from openpyxl.styles import Font , PatternFill wb = Workbook () ws = wb . active # Header style header_fill = PatternFill ( start_color = ' 6366F1 ' , fill_type = ' solid ' ) header_font = Font ( bold = True , color = ' FFFFFF ' ) # Write header ws [ ' A1 ' ] = ' Project Name ' ws [ ' A1 ' ]. fill = header_fill ws [ ' A1 ' ]. font = header_font # Add dropdown from openpyxl.worksheet.datavalidation import DataValidation dv = DataValidation ( type = ' list ' , formula1 = '" In Progress,Completed,Paused "' ) ws . add_data_validation ( dv ) dv . add ( ' B2:B100 ' ) wb . save ( ' output.xlsx ' ) Loop to create sheets, set styles, add validation.

Introduction Understanding how to find prime numbers is one of the best ways to develop logical thinking in programming. It looks simple on the surface, but it teaches you how to break a problem into smaller steps, build a solution gradually, and then improve it into a clean and reusable structure. In this blog, we will not jump directly into code. Instead, we will start from basic thinking, slowly convert that thinking into logic, and finally refine it into a proper Python program using functions and loops. The goal is not just to find prime numbers, but to understand how programming logic is actually built in real development. 1. Understanding the Problem First Before writing anything in Python, we need to understand what a prime number actually means. A prime number is a number that: is greater than 1 has exactly two divisors: 1 and itself So the real question becomes: How do we check whether a number has any divisors other than 1 and itself? That is the core problem we are trying to solve. 2. Thinking Like a Human Before Coding Let’s take a number, for example 13. To check if 13 is prime, we naturally try dividing it by smaller numbers: 2 → does not divide 13 3 → does not divide 13 4 → does not divide 13 5 → does not divide 13 and so on If none of these numbers divide 13 completely, then 13 is prime. So the logic is simple: Try dividing the number by possible candidates and see if any divide it perfectly. 3. Turning Thinking into a Basic Algorithm From the above idea, we can form a basic structure: We need: a number to test a variable that moves through possible divisors a way to detect whether a divisor exists We start checking from 2 because every number is divisible by 1 anyway. We also do not need to check beyond half of the number, because a number cannot have a divisor greater than half (except itself). So the idea becomes: Start divisor from 2 Go up to number // 2 If any number divides it evenly, it is not prime 4. First Working Logic (Direct Implementati

The Logging Nightmare Deploying microservices across Multi-Cloud environments using tools like Terraform is an exhilarating milestone. But the moment something breaks, that excitement quickly turns into a nightmare. The SSH Grind : If you find yourself SSH-ing into disparate instances just to run tail -f and grep through scattered log files, you're doing it wrong. The Agnostic Approach : The industry standard demands Centralized Logging, but chaining your application to vendor-specific solutions like AWS CloudWatch or GCP Cloud Logging limits your architectural freedom. Implementing a true "Cloud-Agnostic" ELK stack gives you back control over your observability data. Clean Architecture & The Non-Blocking Logger Factory Building this robust observability pipeline requires adhering to Clean Architecture principles, specifically through a Non-Blocking Logger Factory. Standardized Interface : By wrapping modern logging libraries like Winston or Pino , we standardize our application's logging interface. The Secret Sauce : The winston-elasticsearch transport module buffers your logs and pushes them directly to your Elasticsearch cluster in the background. Non-Blocking : This architectural choice is crucial: it ensures that high-volume log streaming happens without blocking the Node.js event loop . Here is how the data flows through the system: Resilience Fallback (The Failsafe) A centralized system introduces a dangerous dependency. Your logging infrastructure must never be the reason your application crashes. The Threat : If the remote Elasticsearch cluster is unreachable due to network partitions or rate limits, a poorly configured logger will throw uncaught exceptions, bringing down the app. The Solution : We implement a strict Resilience Fallback (Failsafe) mechanism. The transport module safely catches the connection errors and seamlessly falls back to standard output (console), guaranteeing continuous operation. The 512MB Local-Test Challenge While this setup is a
