A developer released LockIn, an MCP server that gives AI assistants write access to the system hosts file to block websites natively, making distractions unbypassable. The tool offers timed unblocking and a background da…
Chinese AI company Zhipu AI launched ZCode, an autonomous coding agent, on Wednesday, capitalizing on Anthropic's scandal over hidden code in Claude Code that tracked Chinese users. Zhipu offered free tokens and increase…
A 2023 HotOS paper by Google engineers Sanjay Ghemawat and Amin Vahdat, often misrepresented as declaring microservices dead, actually argues that microservices wrongly bind logical and physical boundaries. The paper pro…
AI startups and Big Tech companies are shifting from 'tokenmaxxing'—encouraging maximum AI usage—to 'modelmaxxing,' a cost-saving strategy of routing simple tasks to cheaper models and complex ones to premium models. Bol…
Starts.live launches a platform that reverses the typical startup build order by selling ideas first through real ads and outreach, then building products based on customer feedback. The service claims to deliver live si…
A developer argues that traditional REST and GraphQL APIs are failing AI agents due to high token costs, lack of runtime discovery, and statelessness. The Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard backed by Anthropi…
A developer built a complete AGENTS.md file for a URL shortener API in Python, demonstrating how the file guides AI coding agents by specifying setup, test, structure, conventions, and guardrails. The hands-on tutorial s…
AI agents fail to make informed decisions because they lack access to the reasoning behind past decisions, a problem context graphs aim to solve by storing the 'why' in agent memory. Foundation Capital calls context grap…
Marmot has released a guide to connect its data catalog to Claude Desktop via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling users to query data assets directly from the chat interface. The integration requires a running Mar…
A developer argues that AI's lack of memory across sessions is a structural design flaw, not a communication problem, and that adding more rules has a ceiling. Surveys show only 4% of companies report AI exceeding expect…
A Draup analysis of 2.85 million job listings from June 2025 to June 2026 found that AI is not reducing demand for tech workers but is shifting required skills toward judgment, design, and accountability, while routine t…
