Crypto users who thought they had found a way into the hottest IPO in years through tokenized SpaceX stock discovered on Friday that the shares would not be arriving. Binance Wallet, Bybit, and Bitget Wallet all canceled their tokenized SpaceX offerings after xStocks, the tokenized equity provider b
University of Leicester historian thinks Eilmer of Malmesbury saw two different comets: in 1018 and 1066
Welcome back to TechCrunch Mobility, your hub for the future of transportation and now, more than ever, how AI is playing a part.
There are actual reasons to get excited about Samsung’s upcoming foldables but, the more I think about it, the more I’m realizing that there’s pretty strong potential for the “Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra” to not just be disappointing, but a slightly cruel joke.
We introduce an evaluation for activation verbalizers: can they surface a target model's reasoning as it solves a math problem in a single forward pass? For open-weight NLAs, the answer seems to be: "possibly, but definitely not reliably". Lots of important capabilities currently require AI models t
"Stripe is 2.9%. Paddle is 5%. Stripe is cheaper. End of discussion." Stripe total effective cost: ~$340/mo (6.8%) At $25K MRR: Stripe total: ~$1,450/mo (5.8%) At $100K MRR: Stripe total: ~$5,200/mo (5.2%) The surprise: Paddle is cheaper than "real" Stripe (with tax handling) at almost every scale f
Six months ago I moved my RAG pipeline from Pinecone to self-hosted Qdrant. My vector search bill went from $210/month to $6.50/month. Same latency. Same recall. Here's exactly how. 5.2 million vectors (1536-dim, OpenAI embeddings) On Pinecone Serverless, this cost me roughly $210/month — storage pl
I was migrating my SaaS from Firebase to a dedicated auth provider and almost made a $21,000/year mistake. < 10K MAU: Doesn't matter, everything is free. Pick whatever has the best DX for your stack. Calculate Your Exact Number What auth provider does your team use, and at what scale? I'm curious if
Rust promises memory safety without garbage collection. That's why many of us dream of writing a kernel in it. After several years of building a from‑scratch operating system in Rust, I've collected the real — not theoretical — challenges that will make you question your life choices. Here are the f
So you built your stack on a hosted frontier model. Good throughput, clean API, your foreign-national engineers hit the same endpoint as everyone else. Then on June 12 the US government pulled Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 offline for the entire planet, three days after launch, and the reason is a com
Every guardrail in my agent-built project was earned from a real failure, not designed up front. A cost test for when to build one, when to wait, and when to retire it. On a Wednesday in late May I caught a bug by reading. The project's glossary — the What I typed next is the whole argument in one l
While exploring different approaches to cross-platform development, I recently came across Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP). At first, I assumed it was another "write once, run everywhere" framework. The more I learned, the more I realized that's not what KMP is trying to be. Instead of sharing everything
AI is replacing Software engineering completely wrong! It's evolving into it. As a Junior software engineer, I have noticed the skills I am building everyday are exactly the essential foundation for AI engineering. Validating and handling data cleanly, the fuel for any ML pipeline. AI engineering is
Most people learn frontend in the wrong order. Here's how to do it right. The internet is drowning in frontend learning content. Courses, YouTube channels, bootcamps, roadmaps. Yet a huge number of people spend months "learning" and still can't build anything real on their own. The problem isn't eff
This is a submission for the June Solstice Game Jam Disclaimer: This project was built with Google Gemini throughout: game code, level design, debugging, and this writeup. I directed the concept, reviewed output, and iterated until it played fair; Gemini did the heavy lifting on implementation and p
The Human Side by Max, Co-Founder, Board, the one who presses the buttons. Written in Italian, translated by Claude. When I started this project, back at the first brainstorm, I thought I'd build a "game" for myself, something quick to test that would let me learn a bit about AI and the crypto world
For a long time, logs lived in a strange purgatory: technically required, rarely read, and mostly forgotten until something broke. The post What your logs can’t tell you when an AI agent acts alone appeared first on The New Stack.
Financial charts often combine metrics that live on completely different scales. For example: I wanted to recreate the infographic style seen on Visual Capitalist using pure Python and SVG. The chart combines: annual revenue as bars, One of the most interesting parts is the clipping effect. The stoc

One small Jellyfin setting can make a clean media library look far messier than it really is.
