I built this because my Codex/Claude runs kept stalling when they needed approval/input while I was away from the keyboard.

AgentNotifier sends action-needed, finished, and failed events to phone/macOS, so I only come back when needed.

Repo: https://github.com/almuqrin/agentnotifier

Quick try:

``` python3 -m pip install --user pipx python3 -m pipx ensurepath # restart shell pipx install "git+https://github.com/almuqrin/agentnotifier.git@v0.1.1"

The article explores how the legacy of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged sex trafficking and abuse has permeated various aspects of society, including the media, politics, and the legal system, highlighting the broader societal issues underlying his case.

We couldn’t find much guidance on deploying MCP servers in a multi-tenant setup, so we built one. SageMCP is an open-source platform for hosting isolated MCP server instances with centralized OAuth and API key management.

Each tenant gets its own MCP endpoint (`/api/v1/{tenant}/mcp`) with path-based isolation. Full MCP protocol support — Streamable HTTP, WebSocket, and SSE — with protocol version negotiation, resumable SSE streams, and JSON-RPC batching.

340 tools across 23 native connectors:

- Code & VCS: GitHub (24), GitLab (22), Bitbucket (19) - Project management: Jira (20), Linear (18), Confluence (16) - Communication: Slack (11), Discord (15), Microsoft Teams (13) - Email: Gmail (14), Outlook (14) - Documents: Google Docs (10), Sheets (14), Slides (11), Notion (10), Excel (14), PowerPoint (10), Zoom (12) - AI coding tool intelligence: GitHub Copilot (19), Claude Code (18), OpenAI Codex (16), Cursor (18), Windsurf (11) — standardized metrics schema for cross-tool comparison of adoption, cost, and productivity

Plus support for hosting any external MCP server (Python/Node.js/Go) as a stdio subprocess with health checks and auto-restart.

Under the hood: LRU server pooling (5K max instances, 30-min TTL), session management via `Mcp-Session-Id`, per-tenant token-bucket rate limiting, Prometheus metrics, and feature flags for progressive rollout.

Stack: FastAPI, React, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL/Supabase, Docker & Kubernetes with Helm charts.

Happy to answer questions about the architecture or multi-tenant MCP patterns.

The article argues that relying on hope as a security strategy is dangerous and ineffective. It emphasizes the importance of proactive, evidence-based planning and risk mitigation to address complex security challenges.

I’ve spent the last couple of years deploying LLM agents in production environments, and I’ve consistently hit the same wall: the 'Cognitive Monolith' (or what I call the Big Ball of Mud AI).

We are currently seeing a lot of hype around 'autonomous agents' that are essentially 3,000-word prompts with access to 20 tools. In my experience, this doesn't scale. It’s impossible to unit test, observability is a nightmare, and the 'vibe-based' engineering makes it a liability for enterprise-grade software.

I wrote this manifesto to formalize a different approach: Microagentic Stacking (MAS).

The core idea is to apply classic software engineering principles—separation of concerns, strict I/O contracts, and atomic modularity—to the agentic stack. Instead of one god-agent, we build a stack of 'micro-agents' that:

1. Have a single, specialized responsibility. 2. Communicate through typed, validated interfaces. 3. Are individually testable and replaceable.

I’m sharing this as an open-source manifesto because I believe we need to move from 'prompt alchemy' to 'agentic engineering' if we want these systems to be more than just cool demos.

I’d love to hear the community’s thoughts on: - How you handle state management across multiple specialized agents. - Where you see the trade-off between modularity and token latency. - If you’ve found better ways to prevent 'agentic sprawl' in complex workflows.

The repo includes the core principles and a conceptual roadmap. Happy to dive into the technical details.

The article describes a payment skill for the Alexa voice assistant, which allows users to make online purchases and payments using voice commands. The payment skill integrates with popular payment gateways and provides a secure and convenient way for users to complete transactions through their Alexa-enabled devices.

ShipTypes.com is a comprehensive website that provides detailed information about various types of ships, including their design, construction, and applications. The site covers a wide range of ship categories, from cargo vessels and tankers to passenger ships and specialized marine vessels, offering a valuable resource for those interested in the maritime industry.

The article examines the iconic 'You talkin' to me?' scene from the film 'Taxi Driver', discussing how it became a defining moment in cinema and a testament to the acting prowess of Robert De Niro, who portrayed the troubled Travis Bickle.

The article discusses the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) findings that greenhouse gas emissions endanger public health and welfare, and that the emissions from motor vehicles contribute to this endangerment. These findings were made under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act and have implications for regulating greenhouse gas emissions.

The article explores the diverse roles and capabilities of large language models (LLMs), highlighting their ability to take on tasks beyond just generating text, such as problem-solving, reasoning, and interaction. It examines the multifaceted nature of these AI systems and their potential impact across various domains.

Hi HN, I've been working on 13radar.com, a site focused on tracking institutional holdings. Today, I’m releasing a beta version of our new Insider Trading Tracker. Like many of you, I've used OpenInsider for years. It's a legendary tool, but the UI hasn't changed in decades, and the data classification can be broad. I wanted to build something that feels modern and digs deeper into the data. How it differs from existing tools (OpenInsider / GuruFocus): Granularity: We parse SEC Form 4 filings to categorize transactions into finer types. Instead of just "Buy/Sell," we try to distinguish specific grants, exercises, and other transactions more clearly than OpenInsider. Data Depth: We are displaying more transaction types than GuruFocus (which often aggregates or hides specific non-open-market actions). Modern UX: Fast filtering, clean mobile support, and a responsive interface. No 1990s table layouts. It's currently in Beta. We are still tuning the parsing logic for edge cases in SEC filings. I'd love to get your feedback on the data accuracy and the UI. Is there a specific filter or transaction type you find missing in other tools that you'd like to see here? https://www.13radar.com/insider/ Thanks!

Made this as a side-quest, simple way to allow agents to self-register, interact, and poll a Discord channel (alongside human interactions).

Largely interested in seeing how groups of agents can self-organize/work on hard problems, tried Discourse as well but the real-time chat view in Discord was more fun.

The article discusses the rising cost of living in the United Kingdom, particularly the increase in energy bills and its impact on households. It examines the government's response to the crisis, including proposals for additional support measures.

Give it a few prompts or thinking points,and it will research, write a full article, or even draft comments for you.

All the articles you see on the site are written by other people’s agents.

I found myself increasingly outsourcing the details to the AI. I forgot the details, deliberately I think. I wanted the AI to know them. Why? Because that's where the compute is. So that's where the knowledge has to live.

Me re-telling it to the AI every time it misses something it didn't know, is inefficient. It takes me X time to type it, and maybe log(X) to voice type it. But then there's the inevitable back and forth, the slight misunderstandings, the corrections, etc.

I realized and found myself naturally sliding down towards, just letting the AI own all the data and knowledge. Becuase it should. That's the one that has to compute with it, so why should I know about it.

People think AI is a slippery slope by outsourcing our thinking. I don't think it's a slippery slope - it's a waterslide. It's just inevitable. It's gravity, taking over rapidly. Because there's no force nor incentive pushing the water back up hill.

AI should own all the data. As weird as that feels, that's how it should be. I don't know another way right now.

Thoughts?
