The most expensive promise Prabowo Subianto made on his way to Indonesia’s presidency was lunch. His free-meals programme, budgeted at roughly $15bn to feed some 83 million children and pregnant women across an archipelago of thousands of islands, is the kind of undertaking that lives or dies on log
When the Bank of England first sketched out how it would regulate stablecoins, the industry read the draft and recoiled. Caps on how much any one person could hold, conservative rules on what the coins could be backed by: critics said the regime would make real-world use almost impossible and send,
The hard part of electrifying a motorcycle in Lagos or Nairobi was never the motorcycle, it was the charging. A rider who earns by the trip cannot afford to sit for hours waiting for a battery to fill, which is why Spiro built its business around swapping instead: pull in, trade a flat pack for […]
For years, brands have made media placement decisions based on a publication’s domain authority, readership numbers, and name recognition. None of those metrics measures how often a publication actually appears when someone asks an AI engine for a recommendation. That gap is what the Baden Bower AI
SpaceX shares looked poised to fall again as US markets reopened after the long weekend, extending a slide that has already erased much of the euphoria from the largest stock-market debut in history. The stock closed last week around $185, down roughly 18 per cent from the $225.64 it touched on 16 J
Code reviews, configuration changes, and debugging sessions demand precise understanding of what changed between two versions of text. Manual comparison of large blocks of code or configuration files is error-prone, and version control diffs don’t always provide a quick, focused view for sharing or
Most tutorials on AI agents stop at chat interfaces and RAG pipelines. This one doesn't. Query wallet balances and token holdings Read state from any smart contract via ABI Simulate and execute token swaps on a DEX Monitor on-chain events and trigger actions autonomously Stack LangChain (TypeScript)
MCP is useful, but most of the time you do not actually need it. It gives an agent a clean way to discover tools, call APIs, and work with external systems. In practice, a skill file can describe the same usage path without dragging the whole MCP surface into context. But MCP is not free; rather tha
Introducing Raind Promote Strategy: a workflow for validating applications from containers to Pods Recently, I published an article introducing Raind, a container runtime I have been building. GitHub: https://github.com/shizuku198411/Raind Raind is an experimental runtime that can run both Docker-li
Every World Cup there's a moment. Some player nobody outside their domestic league had heard of scores an absolute screamer in a knockout match, and by the time they've finished celebrating, their follower count is climbing like a rocket. I always found that fascinating, but I could never see it hap
A few days ago I had an idea: what if one LLM could orchestrate other LLMs as agents — not just calling them, but verifying that each agent's output was actually correct before passing it to the next? I work on NeuralBridge (an open-source self-healing SDK for LLM pipelines), so I decided to build i
Every AI developer has been here: your app is throwing 503s, users are pinging you, and you have 12 browser tabs open — OpenAI status page, Anthropic status page, the GitHub Copilot health page, three different Discord servers — trying to figure out is this me or is it them? That's the problem we se
We just shipped the Forgelab PDF API — a fast, affordable REST API for developers who need to handle PDF files without the hassle. What it does: Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs by page ranges Compress PDFs to reduce file size Convert PDFs to images (PNG/JPEG) Pricing: Starts at $5/month for

Accounts payable teams are receiving receipts generated by ChatGPT plugins. HR platforms are seeing payslips rendered by Python scripts. Insurance cla
"Fractional CTO" has become the title people put on their LinkedIn profile when "senior developer" doesn't sound senior enough. I play this role for some of my clients, so I have opinions about what it actually means — and what it doesn't. The confusion isn't just semantics. If you hire the wrong th
A consumer nav app tells the driver where to turn. It will not tell the dispatcher where the 11-hour driving clock runs out — and, more importantly, whether there is legal parking when it does. That second question is the one that strands a truck at 11 PM on the shoulder of an off-ramp with every ne
AWS made Graviton5-powered EC2 M9g and M9gd instances generally available with 192 ARM cores, formally verified VM isolation via the Nitro Isolation Engine, and DDR5-8800 memory. ClickHouse reported 36% better performance with zero code changes. Meta committed tens of millions of cores. On-demand pr
