If you’ve spent any time working across different local LLM backends, you know the frustration. You get your tool-calling logic dialed in perfectly for Ollama, you feel great, and then you try to switch your backend to something like MLX or a specific llama.cpp setup, and suddenly everything falls a
A Month With a $150 Mini PC — My Desktop Is Collecting Dust Now I didn't expect much when I ordered a tiny mini PC for around $150. My main desktop is a bulky tower with a liquid cooler, and it's been my daily driver for years. But after a month of using a Leaderhub LP1C as my primary machine for mo
Swift Testing shipped with Xcode 16 back in 2024. Swift Testing was built from the ground up for Swift. That means Swift concurrency is a first-class citizen, test cases run in parallel by default, and the API surface is dramatically smaller than XCTest's forty-plus assertion functions. One macro, #
I built an MCP server that charges AI agents per call using x402 micropayments By Toolstem You built an MCP server. Agents call it. You pay the API costs. They pay nothing. Every tools/call invocation burns a few cents of your budget while the agent that triggered it has no idea — and no incentive t
A lot of AI products today start with the same idea: Upload documents. In other words: Chat with your documents. That is a powerful pattern. But for enterprise data engineering, I do not think every AI product needs to start as a chatbot. In fact, starting with a chatbot can make the first version u
Automating workflows has always been a priority for me, especially for repetitive and error-prone manual processes. Recently, integrating AI capabilities into these automations offers a great opportunity for those, like me, who seek practical solutions. However, this integration often requires codin
SEBI's New Algo Trading Rules for Retail Traders: What Changed in April 2026 For most of the last decade, algorithmic trading in India existed in a grey zone for retail investors. Institutions had a clear regulatory framework. Retail traders who used broker APIs to automate their strategies were tec
As the rest of the country celebrated the USA's first World Cup win and the New York Knicks championship, Anthropic spent its weekend fighting the Trump administration over its latest model release. At 5:21 PM on Friday, the company received a US export control directive to suspend access to its Myt
vivo has already launched the T5, T5 Pro, and T5x, but apparently there's a fourth member of the family that's also on its way to India. This is the vivo T5 Lite, and its key specs have been leaked today. The device allegedly comes with a 6.74-inch HD+ LCD screen with 120Hz refresh rate and 1,200-ni
The company that ships the best coding model on the planet just published a postmortem worth sitting with: three innocent-looking config changes quietly degraded Claude's output — and it took weeks to track down. If the team that knows AI best can fail to notice their own model getting worse, what m
All tests run on an 8-year-old MacBook Air. All results from shipping 7 Mac apps as a solo developer. No sponsored opinion. HiyokoAutoSync optionally compresses videos during sync. Software compression on an 8-year-old MacBook Air is slow. Hardware compression via VideoToolbox is fast. Here's how to
A junior dev asked me something recently that actually made me think. He said: "As a software developer or vibe coder, while you're building, what do you usually look out for before moving to production? If you can give me something like a framework or blueprint, it would really help me while I buil
By Sailee Shingare | M.S in Computer Science, Northern Illinois University Every time you visit a website, your browser and the server have a conversation. That conversation happens over a protocol — either HTTP or HTTPS. You’ve seen both in your browser’s address bar. But what’s actually different
If you've ever needed a list of local businesses - every dentist in Manchester, every plumber in Leeds - with their contact details, you've probably hit the same wall I did: Google's Places API is rate-limited, costs money once you scale, and annoyingly doesn't return email addresses at all. Copy-pa
There are already many posts about what agent skills are and how to create your own, so in this post I want to dive into the various skills I use to assist in development. Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decisio
If you work with real-time financial tick data via WebSocket long connections, you’ve probably run into frustrating hidden issues: Today I’ll share a practical Python solution built around single-connection dynamic subscription and heartbeat timeout detection. We use alltick api as our example throu
Most AI demos work perfectly on a laptop. https://youtu.be/c2ijN2KAWXw Final thought AI architecture is not only about calling an LLM. The real challenge is designing the system around the AI workload. For many production AI applications, especially those involving document processing, RAG, embeddin
I open-sourced MarketEye today. For anyone who missed the first post: MarketEye is a self-hosted competitor price monitor I built because I didn't want to pay $99/month for Prisync. The code is now up on GitHub under MIT license. GitHub: github.com/dachengzi065-gif/marketeye Three reasons: 1. People
Running 23 European e-commerce shops on Payload CMS v3 taught me that some things simply don't exist yet. So I built them. Background fr.myshop.com, de.myshop.com, sk.myshop.com... all running on the same codebase with country-specific patches. Part 1 — The Reviews Plugin payload reviews or payload
Forget neural networks for a second. The real idea inside this repo is a blueprint for letting AI agents run unattended overnight — and it maps onto problems you already have on your team. If you've been anywhere near tech Twitter or LinkedIn this week, you've probably seen people losing their minds
