No pago $20/mes por Copilot. No tengo un Mac. Uso Linux Mint con un agente open-source, una API que cuesta céntimos y una terminal TUI. Este es mi setup real, lo bueno y lo que no te cuentan. No es postureo. Es pragmatismo. Mira, te voy a ser sincero. Cuando empecé a usar AI para programar probé de todo: Copilot, Cursor, Codeium, Continue... y cada uno tenía algo que no me cerraba. O era caro, o me ataba a un editor, o mandaba mi código a un servidor que no controlaba. Así que hice lo que haría cualquier developer cabezón: monté mi propio stack. Llevo unos meses con esta configuración y —spoiler— no he vuelto a abrir VSCode. Aquí te cuento qué uso, por qué, y lo que me costó que funcionara bien. El stack (sin humo) Linux Mint 22 ← SO base (porque funciona y no da guerra) └─ Hermes Agent TUI ← Agente open-source de Nous Research ├─ DeepSeek V4 Pro API ← El cerebro (1M contexto, $0.43/M tokens) ├─ Gemini API (free) ← Búsquedas y consultas web └─ Terminal (Alacritty) ← Donde vivo el 90% del tiempo Tres piezas. Sin IDEs de pago. Sin lock-in. Sin depender de que OpenAI no suba precios otra vez. ¿Por qué DeepSeek y no Claude/GPT? He probado los tres. Mi razonamiento: DeepSeek V4 Pro Claude Sonnet GPT-4o Precio (1M tokens in) $0.43 $3.00 $2.50 Ventana de contexto 1M tokens 200K 128K Calidad de código ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Razonamiento largo ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ DeepSeek me da el 85-90% de la calidad de Claude por el 15% del precio. Para el 90% de las tareas diarias —refactorizar, debuggear, generar boilerplate, explicar código— la diferencia no se nota. Cuando necesito razonamiento ultra-profundo para algo muy complejo, cambio a Claude. Pero son momentos puntuales. El día a día es DeepSeek. 💡 El dato que nadie dice: Con DeepSeek V4 Pro gasto ~$5-8 al MES programando 4-6 horas al día. Con Claude o GPT estaría en $40-60. La diferencia paga mi VPS.

Three days ago my browser automation tool closed one of my own tabs. Not a tab it had opened — a dashboard I had open in another window, with a page I hadn't finished reading. What makes it worth writing up isn't the bug. It's that the guard designed to prevent exactly this had already fired, correctly, ninety seconds earlier. The guard worked Safari MCP lets an AI agent drive your real, logged-in Safari. That premise means the single worst thing it can do is act on a tab you're using. So there's an identity system: every tab the tool opens gets a marker stamped into window.name , which survives navigation, redirects, and cross-origin loads. Before running anything in a tab, the tool checks the marker. I was filling in a form. The URL was a forms.gle shortlink, which 302s to docs.google.com — a cross-origin redirect that, it turns out, drops window.name . My next read came back refused: Tab tracking lost — refusing to target the user's current tab. Correct. Exactly the intended behaviour. The tool no longer knew which tab was its own, so it declined to guess. So I did the tidy thing and cleaned up my orphaned tab: safari_close_tab It closed a different tab. One of mine. The tool went from "I can't prove which tab is mine, so I won't read" to "let me close a tab" in one step, and nobody stopped it. The shape of the hole Here is the close path as it existed: if ( _st (). activeTabIndex ) { await osascript ( `... close tab ${ _st (). activeTabIndex } of ${ window } ` ); } else { await osascript ( `... close current tab of ${ window } ` ); // ← the user's tab } current tab of window is whatever the user is looking at. So the fallback for "I don't know which tab is mine" was "close theirs." That branch is only reachable when the index is unknown — which is precisely the state the guard had just announced. The two pieces of code were describing the same condition and disagreeing about what it meant. Three layers, one mistake When I went looking, the same fail-open was in

TanStack Table V9 is a beta release of a headless UI library for creating tables in various JavaScript frameworks. It features improved state management, memory usage, and extensibility. The notable change is an opt-in feature model, allowing developers to load only necessary components. Migration is gradual, with tools provided for legacy support. The library remains free and developer-focused. By Daniel Curtis

Previously, I wrote about How I Processed 666K Pages Of Flattened PDFs into a Full Text Search Engine called the Apario writer . Upon on the conclusion of the last segment, I was able to optimize the compilation time of the original collection of data by rewriting the sidekiq Ruby pipeline script into a dedicated Go Application. Regardless of what compiling the PDF assets would look like, I still needed to serve those assets - and that's where the writer did little to nothing to actually address the OPEX of the project from 2020. Given the size of the data set, the 666K pages ended up compiling into a directory of ~1.13TB in size. This was held in storage that was distributed across several high volume storage dedicated servers on OVH behind MinIO . This provided an S3 compatible API directly. What I Know About OPEX OPEX or Op erational Ex pense is how you describe a spending of money that is used explicitly for the operations of the business versus a capital expense. Hardware was considered a CAPEX or Cap ital Ex pense. So when Bit Fry Game Studios needed their DevOps pipeline upgraded for the 9 hour game builds into a 30 minute private enterprise cloud build, it required a CAPEX investment of $69K plus trust in me in order to achieve a -$15K/month OPEX savings. Annualized over a hardware lifecycle, over $472K can be recovered from OPEX by making a small CAPEX expense up front. One of the first projects that I ever worked on was in PHP and MySQL on Ubuntu 8.04 . It was to balance the budget of a department that had ACME Bucks so to speak. It required me to write a finance module, fully tested, that managed Blue , Green and Black dollars. Blue dollars were for OPEX. Green dollars were for CAPEX. Black dollars were for external vendors where money left the company (versus moving between departments). Black depreciated instantly - meaning 100% of it was paid immediately. Blue dollars were borrowed over a 12 month pay-back period. Green dollars were borrowed over a 36

Why Your AI Agent Drowns in 50,000 Tokens of Tool Definitions Every time you connect an MCP server to your AI agent, you're adding thousands of tokens of tool definitions to your context window. Connect 10 servers? That's 50,000 tokens of tool schemas before you've even asked a question. Your agent is drowning in tools it doesn't need. The Problem Traditional MCP integration dumps every available tool into the context: { "tools" : [ { "name" : "file_read" , "description" : "Read a file..." }, { "name" : "file_write" , "description" : "Write a file..." }, { "name" : "shell_exec" , "description" : "Execute shell..." }, // ... 500 more tools ] } Your 200K context window is now 25% full of tool definitions. The model gets confused, response quality drops, and you're paying for tokens that add zero value. The Solution: Progressive Tool Routing HyperNexus implements a multi-layered progressive disclosure system: Semantic Search : Local vector embeddings match your prompt against a global MCP directory The Router : Only the top 3 most relevant tool schemas are injected into context Universal Parity : Byte-for-byte identical tool signatures across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot, and Windsurf // Only inject what's relevant tools := router . FindRelevantTools ( prompt , 3 ) context . AddTools ( tools ) Results 95% reduction in tool-related context usage 3x improvement in tool selection accuracy Zero hallucinations from irrelevant tool noise Try It Yourself HyperNexus is open source and free for personal use: # Install go install github.com/HyperNexusSoft/HyperNexus@latest # Run hypernexus serve # Connect your MCP servers hypernexus mcp add filesystem hypernexus mcp add github Your AI agent will now only see the tools it needs for each request.

New OpenAI research shows how AI is expanding what workers do, with ChatGPT users taking on tasks across roles and reshaping job boundaries.

The problem with "just add more workers" Most Spark performance issues on Databricks aren't solved by scaling the cluster — they're caused by shuffle and skew , and no amount of extra nodes fixes a badly partitioned join. This post builds a realistic pipeline (order events joined against a small dimension table, aggregated, and written to Delta Lake) from the ground up, and uses it to work through: How Spark's shuffle actually behaves during a wide transformation Diagnosing and fixing data skew with salting and adaptive query execution (AQE) Laying out the resulting Delta table with Z-Ordering so downstream queries skip irrelevant files Governing access to the whole pipeline with Unity Catalog Architecture overview Pipeline shape — a batch job reading raw events, joining against a dimension table, aggregating, and writing to a governed Delta table: What happens inside a shuffle stage — this is the part most tutorials skip, and it's the key to understanding why skew hurts: Step 1 — Set up governed tables in Unity Catalog Everything downstream depends on tables being registered under Unity Catalog, which gives you centralized access control and lineage instead of per-workspace table grants. -- setup.sql, run in a Databricks SQL or notebook cell CREATE CATALOG IF NOT EXISTS retail_analytics ; CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS retail_analytics . events ; CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS retail_analytics . events . raw_orders ( order_id STRING , customer_id STRING , product_id STRING , quantity INT , event_ts TIMESTAMP ) USING DELTA LOCATION 'abfss://data@<storage-account>.dfs.core.windows.net/raw_orders' ; CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS retail_analytics . events . dim_products ( product_id STRING , category STRING , unit_cost DOUBLE ) USING DELTA LOCATION 'abfss://data@<storage-account>.dfs.core.windows.net/dim_products' ; GRANT SELECT ON TABLE retail_analytics . events . raw_orders TO `analysts` ; Step 2 — Read and force a broadcast join for the small dimension table dim_products is s

I shipped GoGBA (Android + iOS) to both stores in late December 2025. Six months in: MAU peaked at 8.3k, currently steady around 7.4k. No paid advertising, ever. This is a write-up of what the six months actually involved. I'll be specific about the technical work, and equally specific about the mistake that cost me RetroAchievements hardcore certification — because that part is the most useful thing here for anyone building in this space. Why GBA only I grew up on a GBA — Super Robot Wars, Fire Emblem, Pokémon, Castlevania, Zelda. Later NDS/3DS/PSP/Vita/Switch arrived and the GBA did its job and retired. On PC the emulator I remember is VisualBoyAdvance. I've used GBA, NDS and PSP emulators on phones. I kept coming back to GBA, for four reasons that are all practical rather than nostalgic: Pixel art holds up. Personal taste, no defense offered. Battery. A GBA game survives a long-haul flight. Single screen. The remaining screen space is exactly where virtual buttons want to go. NDS dual-screen on a phone is always a compromise. ROM hacks. The GBA hack scene is the richest of any handheld. Point 3 is the one that made me build something: GBA is the only handheld whose form factor natively fits a phone. That's a product observation, not sentiment. What existing emulators get wrong (for me) I used the main ones on both platforms: Delta and Linkboy on iOS; Pizzaboy, Linkboy and Lemuroid on Android. Lemuroid is open source and a lot of shipped emulators are built on it. They're all good. Every one of them had small things that annoyed me. The only genuinely cross-platform one is Linkboy (formerly MyBoy), but its configuration surface is extremely deep — second only to RetroArch in complexity. That's the gap. Everyone was solving "can it run" and "can it be tuned perfectly." Nobody was solving "pick it up and play." The methodology was just dogfooding I'm a Flutter GDE and tech lead for a 40-person cross-platform team; GoGBA was a solo test of that experience. The only r

AI feels like it "suddenly" got smart in the last few years. It didn't. It's been evolving in distinct stages for over 70 years — each one building on the limits of the last. Here's the journey, broken down simply. Stage 1: Rule-Based AI (1950s-1980s) The earliest AI wasn't "intelligent" — it was a giant pile of if-else logic written by humans. How it worked: Programmers manually coded rules. "If symptom X and symptom Y, then diagnose Z." Chess engines, expert systems, early chatbots like ELIZA — all rule-based. The limit: These systems couldn't learn. Every scenario had to be explicitly programmed. Show it something outside its rules, and it broke. Stage 2: Machine Learning (1990s-2000s) Instead of hand-coding every rule, engineers started teaching systems to find patterns in data themselves. How it worked: Algorithms like decision trees, support vector machines, and linear regression learned relationships from labeled examples — spam vs. not spam, fraud vs. not fraud. The limit: These models needed carefully hand-engineered "features" (inputs) prepared by humans. They also struggled with messy, unstructured data like raw images or audio. Stage 3: Deep Learning (2010s) This is where things accelerated. Neural networks with many layers ("deep" networks) could learn features automatically from raw data, given enough compute and data. How it worked: Instead of a human deciding "look at edges, then shapes, then objects" in an image, the network learned that hierarchy itself. This powered breakthroughs in image recognition, speech-to-text, and translation. The limit: Deep learning was narrow. A model trained to recognize cats couldn't write an email. Each task needed its own model trained from scratch. Stage 4: Generative AI & LLMs (2018-Present) The current stage. Large Language Models like GPT and Claude are trained on massive amounts of text to predict "what comes next" — and in doing so, they pick up grammar, facts, reasoning patterns, and coding ability, all from o

GitOps for AI Agents: Treating Tool Configs and Memory Like Production Infrastructure Stop managing AI agent configurations as fragile scripts. Adopt GitOps principles for AI, treating your tool configs and memory as version-controlled, auditable infrastructure-as-code. Learn to implement mcp.jsonc, PR-reviewed workflows, and CI validation for reliable, reproducible AI. The Configuration Chaos in Modern AI Agents Today's AI agents are powerful orchestrators, not just chatbots. They connect to dozens of external tools, databases, and APIs via configurations that define their capabilities, permissions, and memory pathways. But this configuration—often scattered across JSON files, environment variables, or proprietary dashboards—becomes a critical vulnerability. A single typo in a tool's endpoint URL or an incorrect memory namespace can cause silent failures, security leaks, or non-reproducible agent behavior across development and production. Consider a common scenario: Your team updates an AI agent's access to a vector database for its long-term memory. The change is made directly in a production dashboard by an engineer. A week later, the agent starts hallucinating corrupted context. Reverting is guesswork because there's no change log, no PR review, and no record of the previous state. This is the classic "configuration drift" problem that plagued traditional infrastructure, and it's now crippling advanced AI systems. The Infrastructure-as-Code Paradigm for AI The solution lies in applying mature DevOps practices to AI management. We must stop treating AI configurations as special snowflakes and start treating them as infrastructure as code . This means storing all defining components—tool endpoints, authentication scopes, memory indexes, and even behavioral guardrails—in a version-controlled repository. The industry-standard format for this is emerging as mcp.jsonc , a JSONC (JSON with Comments) file that defines an agent's Model Context Protocol tools and memory

I wrote about the Electricity Planning Engine a little while back, including a timezone bug that made a correct price look "not found" after a database round trip. A few days later, Alex Shev left this comment: Timezone bugs are brutal in planning engines because the result can look mathematically correct while being operationally wrong. Energy workflows especially need tests around boundaries, not just averages. That is a genuinely sharp way to put it, and it is not just a comment about the bug I already wrote about. It is a comment about how I test the project in general, and I did not like how well it applied once I went and checked. The part that stung a little "Looks mathematically correct while being operationally wrong" is exactly what the original timezone bug was. PriceSeries::priceAt() threw a clean "price not found" error, which is arguably the good version of that failure mode: loud, easy to catch, hard to ship. A quieter version of the same class of mistake, off by one hour instead of missing entirely, would not throw anything. It would just return a plan that looks completely reasonable and is wrong the entire time it runs. Alex's second point, boundaries over averages, is the one I actually had to go check rather than just agree with in the abstract. So I opened tests/Unit/Domain/Contract/PricingStrategyTest.php and looked at every hour used in every peak/off-peak assertion: new DateTimeImmutable ( '2026-07-18 14:00:00' ) // peak new DateTimeImmutable ( '2026-07-18 23:00:00' ) // off-peak new DateTimeImmutable ( '2026-07-18 05:00:00' ) // off-peak 14:00, 23:00, 05:00. Every single one comfortably inside its window. None of them anywhere near the actual transition. The off-peak slot in the config is 22:00 to 06:00 , and the comparison behind that lives in TimeSlot::contains() : // wraparound slot, e.g. 22:00 -> 06:00 return $minuteOfDay >= $this -> startMinuteOfDay || $minuteOfDay < $this -> endMinuteOfDay ; That >= versus < is exactly the kind of one-

I spent the last while building a prompt-injection detector trained on 78,000+ attack samples. Here's what surprised me, and why I ended up going the unfashionable route. The trendy approach is to use an LLM. I didn't. The default move in 2026 is "use an LLM to judge whether input is an attack." It's appealing because models understand nuance. But once you try to run it inline on every request, the problems pile up fast: Latency. You've added a full model round-trip to every single call. Hundreds of milliseconds, minimum. Cost. Your security bill now scales with your traffic. Every request pays the token tax. Non-determinism. The same input can get a different verdict tomorrow. Try explaining that in an incident review. It's jailbreakable itself. Your security model is an LLM, which means it's vulnerable to the exact attacks it's supposed to catch. So I built the boring version instead: deterministic regex plus classical ML (TF-IDF character n-grams into logistic regression). No LLM in the detection path. It runs in about 7ms, costs nothing per call, and is fully deterministic. What the data actually showed Here's the part I want to be honest about, because most vendors quote one number and hide the rest. Measured on public benchmarks the model was not trained on (held out, non-circular): Real-world, in-the-wild jailbreaks: 0.895 recall at 1.00 precision Obfuscated / evasion attacks: 0.799 at 1.00 precision A frozen external split: 0.804 recall, 0.48% false-positive rate Subtle roleplay-framed jailbreaks: 0.324 That last number is bad, and it's the most important one on the list. The honest read is that deterministic detection is excellent on real-world and obfuscated attacks and weak on subtle roleplay framing. That's a real gap, and pretending otherwise just means someone finds it later and trusts you less. The false-positive rate is a moving target One thing I didn't appreciate going in: FPR is completely traffic-dependent. The same model reads roughly: ~0.4% fal

A few months ago, I submitted a talk proposal to WordCamp US without really knowing what to expect. Today, I'm happy to say that it was accepted, and I'll be speaking at one of the largest WordPress conferences in the world. WordCamp US has always been one of the events I've looked up to in the WordPress ecosystem. As someone who has spent over a decade building content platforms with WordPress, contributing to open source, and working with teams across different countries, having the opportunity to share my experience on that stage is something I don't take for granted. My session is: Stop Blaming WordPress: Building a Real Editorial Workflow Without Leaving the Ecosystem Throughout my time working with WordPress, I've noticed a recurring pattern. When editorial teams struggle to publish content efficiently, WordPress often gets the blame. But after working with organizations of different sizes, I've learned that the CMS is rarely the real problem. The real challenges are usually: disconnected editorial processes; unclear content ownership; missing approval workflows; inconsistent governance; too much reliance on manual work. In this session, I'll share practical strategies for building scalable editorial workflows while keeping WordPress at the center of the ecosystem. The goal isn't to introduce another platform, it's to make the existing one work better. Speaking at WordCamp US is especially meaningful because I've been part of the WordPress ecosystem for many years. Being able to give something back to this community is an opportunity I'm genuinely grateful for. If you'll be at WordCamp US 2026 in Phoenix, I'd love to connect. 🎟️ Get your ticket: https://us.wordcamp.org/2026/tickets/ 💸 Use my speaker discount: speaker-friend20 during checkout for a discount on your ticket.

I submitted an abstract to AAAI AISI and accidentally missed the field asking authors to nominate a reciprocal reviewer by the July 21 AoE deadline. At the time of submission, I knew that I personally did not meet the publication requirements to serve as a reviewer. After adding my graduate-student co-authors to the submission, I realized that one of them was qualified and could fulfill the reciprocal-reviewing obligation, but we overlooked the nomination field before the deadline because it wasn't a required field. As soon as we noticed, we added the qualified co-author to OpenReview as a potential reciprocal reviewer (edits were still accepted) and emailed the workflow chairs. He meets the publication requirements and is willing to complete the full reviewing load. The policy says that if a qualified author is available but no one is nominated, the submission may be desk rejected. The full paper deadline is in two days, and so far we have only received the automated response shown in the attached screenshot. Has anyone dealt with a similar situation at AAAI or another conference? Do you think this is likely to lead to a desk rejection, or are workflow chairs usually willing to correct this kind of administrative mistake when a qualified reviewer is available? submitted by /u/TheSupremeEgger [link] [留言]
