Show me how you research an unfamiliar technical topic
A Hacker News discussion has surfaced a practical problem that many developers recognize but rarely articulate: when researching an unfamiliar technical topic through web search, the answers you find tend to create new questions f...
Using an LLM to Automate the Process of Archiving New macOS App Icons
An independent developer has demonstrated that large language models can handle tedious, multi-step macOS workflows with surprisingly little prompting. The task in question is archiving app icons, and the results suggest that the...
Restricting AI Agents When No Human Is Watching
AI agents are rapidly moving from tools that developers supervise to tools that work in the background, often with no one watching. That shift sounds efficient, but it introduces a security problem that has become hard to ignore:...
Show HN: I built a tool that gives any website an API and MCP
The gap between websites that offer APIs and websites that do not is becoming one of the more pressing obstacles for the growing class of AI-powered agents that need to interact with external software. A recent Hacker News submiss...
Agentboxd – Email inboxes for AI agents that treat mail as hostile
AI agents can already write code, browse the web, and call APIs, but giving them an email address that actually works, with proper authentication, spam filtering, and deliverability, has remained a surprisingly hard problem. Agent...
The Copilot+ PC brand is dead
The Copilot+ PC label that Microsoft and Qualcomm introduced in 2024 as the defining brand for AI-capable Windows hardware is effectively dead, retired quietly by both the company and its hardware partners without a formal announc...
Drum Machines (LLMs) Have No Soul
A software developer who builds tools for musicians is wrestling with a question that has become common across the industry. As large language models grow more capable, what is left that only a human can do? The answer, for one de...
LLM Red-temaing vs. Agent Red teaming
As organizations move from deploying language models in isolation to deploying AI agents that can call tools, access databases, and take actions on behalf of users, the approach to security testing has to change as well. The pract...
Show HN: Botbin.io – pastebin for AI agent artifacts
The article is at 719 words and ready. It covers the problem, the service mechanics, MCP integration, technical constraints, and the practical takeaway for developers. The file is at `/var/www/simpleprog-website/article_botbin.md`...
A single function Jev-like wrapper for LLMs, including vision models
A developer exploring the intersection of language models and computer vision has published a technique that lets any multimodal model classify images using probability scores rather than raw text output. The approach, built aroun...
