A new study examines the complex physics and physiology behind a cat's ability to almost always land on its feet, revealing insights into how their flexible bodies, agile reflexes, and rapid righting response enable this feat.

I built Signet in Go to see if an autonomous system could handle the wildfire monitoring loop that people currently run by hand - checking satellite feeds, pulling up weather, looking at terrain and fuels, deciding whether a detection is actually a fire worth tracking.

All the data already exists: NASA FIRMS thermal detections, GOES-19 imagery, NWS forecasts, LANDFIRE fuel models, USGS elevation, Census population data, OpenStreetMap. The problem is it arrives from different sources on different cadences in different formats.

Most of the system is deterministic plumbing - ingestion, spatial indexing, deduplication. I use Gemini to orchestrate 23 tools across weather, terrain, imagery, and incident tracking for the part where clean rules break down: deciding which weak detections are worth investigating, what context to pull next, and how to synthesize noisy evidence into a structured assessment.

It also records time-bounded predictions and scores them against later data, so the system is making falsifiable claims instead of narrating after the fact. The current prediction metrics are visible on the site even though the sample is still small.

It's already opening incidents from raw satellite detections and matching some to official NIFC reporting. But false positives, detection latency, and incident matching can still be rough.

I'd especially welcome criticism on: where should this be more deterministic instead of LLM-driven? And is this kind of autonomous monitoring actually useful, or just noisier than doing it by hand?

This article introduces a set of templates for building documentation for agentic systems, including guidance on writing user stories, system specifications, and design documents. The templates aim to provide a structured framework for documenting the development and deployment of complex, adaptive, and autonomous systems.

The article discusses how to turn off the spying capabilities of smart TV settings, including disabling microphones, camera, and data collection features, in order to protect user privacy and security.

Hi, I just launched a SaaS Analytics Platform on the platform you can connect stripe and google ads and some more tools and understand exactly how much you spend on ads how much customers you get from that and how much money you make or loose.

Did a thing, thought it might be useful, as I'm surely not the only one hitting this issue.

In short, if you've ever needed to filter python objects based on some of the field values they have, you've likely built something like this yourself.

Curious to see how others have solved it as well, so if you've ever done something like this, while keeping it developer friendly and easily extensible, let me know

Been building an AI agent pipeline for outbound email and ran into an infrastructure problem that I haven't seen discussed much.

When you run multiple agents doing outreach in parallel, the default setup most people land on is having all agents share one email domain and sending identity. This breaks in a few ways at scale:

1. Reputation isolation: if one agent gets flagged for aggressive sending or trips spam filters, the entire domain reputation degrades. Every other agent's deliverability takes the hit even if they're running fine.

2. Reply attribution: all inbound replies land in one inbox with no clean way to route them back to the specific agent that initiated the conversation. Makes conversion tracking nearly impossible.

3. Per-agent A/B testing: impossible to test different messaging approaches at the agent level when they all share an identity.

The pattern that seems right is giving each agent its own dedicated sending address so reputation is isolated per agent and replies route back correctly. But the tooling to do this cleanly - especially the inbound routing piece - doesn't seem to exist in a plug-and-play way for agent workflows.

Curious how others have solved this. Are you managing separate identities manually, using some existing tool I've missed, or just accepting the shared domain limitations for now?

The article explores different types of memory in the LangChain framework, including chat history, vector stores, and document repositories. It discusses how these memory types can be used to enhance the capabilities of language models and improve the performance of conversational AI applications.

The article discusses the development of the Prime 32 microcomputer, a 32-bit computer system designed in the 1980s. It provides an overview of the system's architecture, features, and historical context within the evolution of personal computing.

I built a pipeline that fetches all HN job postings (both the monthly "Who is Hiring?" threads and direct job posts (/jobs)) classifies each one using an LLM (Gemini Flash via OpenRouter), and publishes the results as a static site.

What it tracks: - Top technologies and roles with month-over-month changes - Remote work breakdown (fully remote, hybrid, onsite) - Salary and equity mention rates - Experience level distribution - Per-job classification (click a technology to see its role breakdown, or vice versa)

Jobs are sent to the LLM in batches of 10 with structured output (JSON Schema). Total cost: ~$0.07/run, under $2/year. The pipeline writes JSON to a GitHub repo served via Pages. The site is a static Next.js export that fetches the JSON at build time. No server, no database, no ongoing costs beyond GitHub Actions minutes (free tier).

Everything is open source: - Data pipeline: https://github.com/gantryops/hn-jobs-data - Site: https://github.com/gantryops/hn-jobs-site

AI agents can consume the data directly there's an llms.txt at https://hn-job-trends.gantryops.dev/llms.txt with all the JSON endpoints and schemas.

I built this for myself to work on my project roadmap together with AI agents, and it might be useful to others.

When working on features and the roadmap with the agent, I found that I miss a nice UI to be able to see what we planned, and maybe make some changes. Most of the planning is done by talking to the agent, but as a human, I need a way to get a nice view on top of this.

So I built Minimap as a small local UI that sits on top of repo roadmap files. It comes together with a skill that guides the agent towards a very limited structure of how to manage the files.

It intentionally does not try to replace larger project planning tools. It’s mainly for repos where planning already lives in markdown and you want a better review/edit UI around it.

I've read five books so far this year.

1. The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason by Sam Harris

2. Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris (a re-read)

3. Lying by Sam Harris

4. Misery by Stephen King (a re-read)

5. The Road by Cormac McCarthy

I'd probably pick The Road by Cormac McCarthy as my favorite so far.

The article discusses the costs and benefits of the new energy transition, highlighting the need to balance environmental concerns with economic realities. It explores the potential impacts on industries, consumers, and the broader economy, while emphasizing the importance of a measured, well-planned approach to this global shift.

I kept running into the same problem while building AI agents: every agent that needs email ends up sharing my personal inbox or a single company domain. That breaks attribution, creates deliverability risk, and makes it impossible to test sender identities per agent.

So I built AgentMailr. You call an API to create an inbox, your agent gets a unique email address, and replies route back to that specific agent. Works for both inbound (OTP parsing, reply routing) and outbound (cold email, notifications).

Bring your own domain is supported so emails come from your domain, not ours. REST API and MCP server are live. Node/Python SDKs are in progress.

Happy to answer questions about the architecture or how I'm handling multi-agent routing.
