People online are distressed at men butchering words such as ‘hyperbole’ and ‘hors d’oeuvres’ – highlighting a gender reversal in ‘intelligence gaps’ There are common non-negotiables we look for in a prospective partner. They should be kind, caring and thoughtful. Having a shared interest helps. So does remembering important dates and anniversaries. But how much does it matter if they know how to pronounce the word “gnocchi”? Turns out that’s a potential dealbreaker, at least according to a (rather judgy) cohort on TikTok. See: the “Illiterate Boyfriend” trend, which…

I built this because I know the pain of trying to explain a component or a micro-interaction to an AI agent or a colleague, and seeing them not understand it. Now I just look up the canonical name of the thing I am thinking of, and send a link of it. I planned the site to be buildable with parallel agents from the start. The site includes more than 1100 terms, and every page includes a live demo. It would be an enormous effort to do that by hand. The live demos act both as a user attraction, and a test-suite that validates the term as the agent is building it. Let me know what do you think. I…

We built Concorde, an open-source framework giving an organization one shared agent that's controlled by a group, rather than just one person. This is pretty cool because shared agents can bring us closer to single entities doing what took a whole organization to do, kind of moving us in the direction of the trend of the rise of the solo founder. Saying that entire organisations could be just 1 agent might sound sort of anti-democratic, but this is the reality of where things are already heading. The "organisation" only exists because humans hold limited context. agents don't have that limit.…

EXCLUSIVE: India stalls Alipay+ payments link over security, data concerns, sources say Reuters
PicoLM is an LLM inference engine written in C99. It currently supports llama-2, GPT-2, Qwen 3.6/3.8(+MoE) and Gemma-3n models. Significant amount of work went into CPU SIMD acceleration/testing/correctness, and wide cross-platform availability with constant testing to never lose portability (from DOS through OS/X 10.4 to modernity). CUDA/HIP is supported, and accelerated IMMA kernels are available. More work needs to be done on prompt processing speed, but text generation is quite fast already. GGUFs are mmap()'ed, not preloaded, so it's much more friendly to RAM usage than llama.cpp. Extern…
