Should I do a blindfolded PC build as a PC building pro wearing a oculus quest 2 for limited visibility? Similar to @NetworkChuck but I've built thousands of PC's over the years.

the NSA put its own hacking tool on GitHub and most people still haven't opened it 5 security repos that show you how exposed you actually are. all free, all open source. want to see every account tied to your username across the internet? -> Sherlock github.com/sherlock-project/… want to take any program apart and read what it really does? -> Ghidra, the reverse engineering framework built by the NSA github.com/NationalSecurityA… want to watch everything your phone apps send home? -> mitmproxy github.com/mitmproxy/mitmpro… want to know if your API keys and passwords are already sitting in your git history? -> TruffleHog github.com/trufflesecurity/t… want to test your own WiFi and Bluetooth with a $10 chip? -> ESP32 Marauder github.com/justcallmekoko/ES… ~260k stars of tools that professionals get paid to run. none of this is hidden. it's the same kit pentesters use on the job. the catch: it's only legal on things you own or have written permission to test. the best way to learn how you get hacked is to run the attack on yourself first. bookmark this. pick one. point it at your own stuff tonight.

今天看到的最漂亮的网站: kubernetes3d.com/rack 把 k8s 集群做成了机架的样式,而且高度可操作,真的是 eye candy,还分了 front back 和 side 三个面,每个面讲的是同一套集群的不同切面,是一件精致的艺术品。 注意上面的各种按钮和场景都是可交互的,用来学习概念也很棒,我已经把玩许久了,谁做的这么棒啊。

Ok this small local model is sooo good MiniCPM5-2B has only 2B parameters (!!) and can run agents on any laptop or even your phone fully offline. This 100% open source model can perform coding/agentic/tool use tasks and can run on just 2GB RAM! And it's genuinely good even in Hermes agent! I asked it to: - Go to Hugging Face - Find the Models section - Evaluate models across multiple criteria - Create a CSV with the top 15 It did it! In the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.1.1 results cited in the official release, MiniCPM5-2B scores 23 and ranks #1 among open-source models under 4B parameters. So it's not about the size of the model anymore but way more the density of intelligence: Researchers from Tsinghua University and ModelBest proposed the “Densing Law”: the maximum capability density of open-source pretrained base models roughly doubled every 3.5 months over the period studied! And what's also interesting is that OpenBMB's open-source approach goes beyond just releasing model weights with - Selected training methods - Agent-related data - Data refinement resources Also being opened up, including the RL stack with Meshy + JustRL II. This model even outperforms some models around 6x larger on selected evaluations such as GDPval-AA v2!

NVIDIA removed the biggest friction point in Voice AI They open-sourced PersonaPlex 7B, a full-duplex conversational model that listens and speaks at the SAME time. → Listens and speaks simultaneously → Handles interruptions and backchannels naturally → Any voice, any role, defined by text prompt 100% Open Source.

This high school student just built a water filter that removes 96% of microplastics, without expensive equipment. In Warrington, Virginia, Mia Heller has built a filtration system that removes more than 95% of microplastics from drinking water. Her approach uses a magnetic liquid, ferrofluid, to pull tiny plastic particles out of the flow, without relying on traditional filter membranes.

Pretraining, adapting, and serving LLMs gets messy when every model needs a different pipeline. LitGPT is an open-source Python toolkit for builders who want to pretrain, fine-tune, evaluate, and serve language models. It helps you move from experiment to a usable endpoint by combining readable model implementations, a consistent CLI, and configurable YAML training recipes. Key features: • 20+ LLM implementations – includes Llama, Gemma, Phi, Qwen, Mistral, and more. • End-to-end CLI – run chat, pretraining, fine-tuning, evaluation, and serving workflows. • Efficient fine-tuning – supports LoRA, QLoRA, Adapter, and Adapter v2. • Lower-memory execution – offers quantization plus FP16, BF16, and mixed-precision settings. • Scale options – supports Flash Attention v2, FSDP multi-GPU training, CPU offloading, and TPU/XLA. It’s open-source (Apache 2.0 license). Link in the reply 👇

I'm sharing 8 of the best GitHub repos for automatically extracting data from any website: 1. Firecrawl Pass it a URL and it automatically crawls the entire site, converting it into clean data ready for AI. Supports JavaScript-heavy pages. Over 140,000 stars. github.com/firecrawl/firecra… 2. Crawl4AI Turns any website into text that LLMs can read directly. No API key or payments required. Created by a developer fed up with services charging $16. Over 70,000 stars. github.com/unclecode/crawl4a… 3. browser-use An AI agent that uses the browser like a human: clicks, logins, forms, everything. Created by a startup from ETH Zurich. Over 100,000 stars. github.com/browser-use/brows… 4. Crawlee A complete framework for scraping with proxy rotation, retries, anti-detection, and queue management. Avoids blocks like a pro. github.com/apify/crawlee 5. Scrapy The classic Python framework for large-scale scraping. It's been in use for over 10 years and stably processes millions of pages. Completely free. github.com/scrapy/scrapy 6. Scrapling Automatically adapts to website design changes and avoids block detections. Paid-level features… but free. github.com/d4vinci/Scrapling 7. AutoScraper Just give it an example of the data you want, and it learns the pattern on its own. Extracts the rest without writing selectors. Super simple and powerful. github.com/alirezamika/autos… 8. curl-impersonate Imitates real Chrome browser HTTP requests to bypass the most advanced anti-bot protections. github.com/lwthiker/curl-imp… Save them all, highly recommended. With these, you can pull clean data from almost any website without paying for expensive services or relying on limited APIs.

I built an autotriage skill for codex that has a set of guidelines + reads VISION.md from my repos, so issues/prs that have a clear way of - fit vision of the project - being inferrable in code with high confidence - clear fix - can be live tested Are now worked on autonomously. Codex can use a VM + computer vision (via crabbox.sh , new parallels backend) to verify fixes, so it can work without interrupting me. I manually review suggestions. Since it was tedious to type in issues, I added an issue browser into repo.bar that parses common clipboard formats by codex so I can click through them conveniently.

God's eye view 24-hour replay of Operation Epic Fury. The Iran strikes kicked off and I set an AI agent swarm loose to record every OSINT signal I could find before the caches cleared. Built a full 4D reconstruction in WorldView. I can scrub through minute by minute and watch the whole thing unfold on a 3D globe: > Airspace clearing over Tehran > Ground strike coordinates locking in > Severe GPS interference blinding the region > EO and SAR satellites making passes over the strike zone > No-fly zones locking down 9 countries > Shipping fleets scrambling at the Strait of Hormuz It's pretty amazing how complete of a picture you can build without "proprietary data fusion" -- one dev with public signals and a love for computer graphics and geospatial intelligence. Thank you for all the love on my last post. Dropping WorldView in April. This my friends is just the beginning.
