The article explores how the introduction of ATMs did not lead to the demise of bank tellers, as many had predicted. Instead, it argues that ATMs and tellers have evolved to complement each other, with tellers focusing on more complex customer needs and ATMs handling routine transactions.

U.S. banks' exposure to private credit has reached $300 billion, indicating their growing involvement in the private credit market, which provides financing to companies and individuals outside the traditional banking system.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has released high-definition 3D scans of 140 famous art objects from its collection, allowing people to virtually explore and study these works in unprecedented detail.

The article explores the link between gut microbiome and cognitive decline, highlighting research that suggests gut bacteria may play a role in age-related brain changes and memory loss. It suggests that modifying the gut microbiome could potentially help maintain cognitive function as people age.

Two oil tankers owned by US and Greek companies were set on fire in Iraqi waters, with Iran claiming responsibility for an underwater drone strike. The incident has raised tensions in the region and led to concerns about the safety of maritime shipping.

The new MacBook Neo features a more modular design, making it easier to repair and maintain than other Apple laptops. This approach aims to address the longstanding criticism of Apple's products being difficult to service and upgrade by consumers.

We built rudel.ai after realizing we had no visibility into our own Claude Code sessions. We were using it daily but had no idea which sessions were efficient, why some got abandoned, or whether we were actually improving over time.

So we built an analytics layer for it. After connecting our own sessions, we ended up with a dataset of 1,573 real Claude Code sessions, 15M+ tokens, 270K+ interactions.

Some things we found that surprised us: - Skills were only being used in 4% of our sessions - 26% of sessions are abandoned, most within the first 60 seconds - Session success rate varies significantly by task type (documentation scores highest, refactoring lowest) - Error cascade patterns appear in the first 2 minutes and predict abandonment with reasonable accuracy - There is no meaningful benchmark for 'good' agentic session performance, we are building one.

The tool is free to use and fully open source, happy to answer questions about the data or how we built it.

Claude, an AI language model, has developed a new technology called Claude Builds Visuals that can generate high-quality images from textual descriptions. The article explores the capabilities and potential applications of this innovative technology in various industries.

I built Axe because I got tired of every AI tool trying to be a chatbot.

Most frameworks want a long-lived session with a massive context window doing everything at once. That's expensive, slow, and fragile. Good software is small, focused, and composable... AI agents should be too.

Axe treats LLM agents like Unix programs. Each agent is a TOML config with a focused job. Such as code reviewer, log analyzer, commit message writer. You can run them from the CLI, pipe data in, get results out. You can use pipes to chain them together. Or trigger from cron, git hooks, CI.

What Axe is:

- 12MB binary, two dependencies. no framework, no Python, no Docker (unless you want it)

- Stdin piping, something like `git diff | axe run reviewer` just works

- Sub-agent delegation. Where agents call other agents via tool use, depth-limited

- Persistent memory. If you want, agents can remember across runs without you managing state

- MCP support. Axe can connect any MCP server to your agents

- Built-in tools. Such as web_search and url_fetch out of the box

- Multi-provider. Bring what you love to use.. Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, or anything in models.dev format

- Path-sandboxed file ops. Keeps agents locked to a working directory

Written in Go. No daemon, no GUI.

What would you automate first?

We built OneCLI because AI agents are being given raw API keys. And it's going about as well as you'd expect. We figured the answer isn't "don't give agents access," it's "give them access without giving them secrets."

OneCLI is an open-source gateway that sits between your AI agents and the services they call. You store your real credentials once in OneCLI's encrypted vault, and give your agents placeholder keys. When an agent makes an HTTP call through the proxy, OneCLI matches the request by host/path, verifies the agent should have access, swaps the placeholder for the real credential, and forwards the request. The agent never touches the actual secret. It just uses CLI or MCP tools as normal.

Try it in one line: docker run --pull always -p 10254:10254 -p 10255:10255 -v onecli-data:/app/data ghcr.io/onecli/onecli

The proxy is written in Rust, the dashboard is Next.js, and secrets are AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest. Everything runs in a single Docker container with an embedded Postgres (PGlite), no external dependencies. Works with any agent framework (OpenClaw, NanoClaw, IronClaw, or anything that can set an HTTPS_PROXY).

We started with what felt most urgent: agents shouldn't be holding raw credentials. The next layer is access policies and audit, defining what each agent can call, logging everything, and requiring human approval before sensitive actions go through.

It's Apache-2.0 licensed. We'd love feedback on the approach, and we're especially curious how people are handling agent auth today.

An innocent grandmother in North Dakota was jailed for months due to an error in an artificial intelligence system used to detect fraud, highlighting the potential risks of over-reliance on AI in the criminal justice system.

I built Understudy because a lot of real work still spans native desktop apps, browser tabs, terminals, and chat tools. Most current agents live in only one of those surfaces.

Understudy is a local-first desktop agent runtime that can operate GUI apps, browsers, shell tools, files, and messaging in one session. The part I'm most interested in feedback on is teach-by-demonstration: you do a task once, the agent records screen video + semantic events, extracts the intent rather than coordinates, and turns it into a reusable skill.

Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d5cRGnlb_0

In the demo I teach it: Google Image search -> download a photo -> remove background in Pixelmator Pro -> export -> send via Telegram. Then I ask it to do the same for Elon Musk. The replay isn't a brittle macro: the published skill stores intent steps, route options, and GUI hints only as a fallback. In this example it can also prefer faster routes when they are available instead of repeating every GUI step.

Current state: macOS only. Layers 1-2 are working today; Layers 3-4 are partial and still early.

Happy to answer questions about the architecture, teach-by-demonstration, or the limits of the current implementation.
