We may have hit the point of diminishing returns on the concept of convenience. DoorDash, a platform that has already given people a unified way to shop (sometimes without their permission) from restaurants and businesses and will pick up and deliver whatever you buy to your doorstep, is apparently concerned that things just aren’t easy enough for consumers. To fix that, they’ve jumped on the AI agent bandwagon and built one that you can text orders to dir

Donald Trump has spent recent weeks declaring that artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer called that. It’s “super intelligence” or “SI,” according to the president. Trump has even succeeded in getting the tech oligarchs like Elon Musk and Jensen Huang to use the new name. It all seems like a ridiculous waste of time and energy, but if you listen to folks on social media, it might be part of a larger conspiracy behind the scenes. People on X now insist

Artificial intelligence can solve theoretical math problems, identify a mysterious enzyme system in viruses, potentially render humans extinct by the end of the decade, and, according to new research, estimate the length of time you’ve been dead. In a study published Monday in Nature Communications, researchers developed an AI system that uses microbes on cadavers to estimate their postmortem intervals (PMI), or time since death. The system, called mHolmes

Many of the things that people have “created” with generative AI fall under the general rubric of “just because you could, doesn’t mean you should.” Rarely has this been truer than in the case of a man in Singapore who last month allegedly decided it’d be a great laugh to share an AI-generated image depicting a crocodile in a reservoir at a popular public park. The park’s staff promptly closed down all aquatic activities in the area and spent two days sear

A report from an organization called Transluce says Library and Archives Canada was subject to “a series of apparently failed rudimentary hacking attempts” by AI agents on two dates this year, May 28, and June 9. Transluce calls itself a “nonprofit research lab dedicated to public oversight” of AI systems. Its report calls this a case in which “rogue” agents were “aggressive” in their tactics, but it should be noted that it also says the purpose of the att

Silicon Valley, once famous for its bitter rivalries, has at last achieved complete inner harmony. Its leaders have set aside their differences and agreed to work towards a common goal: continued American dominance in AI. Or as President Trump, a self-described “high-IQ person,” has officially rebranded it, “Super Intelligence.” That’s, at any rate, the image that the Trump administration is trying to project. At a White House summit on Tuesday, Trump and

If there’s one company you’d expect to be at the bleeding edge of the AI race, it’s Google. With its deep pockets, nearly three decades of hoovering up data from across the internet, and billions of users worldwide, it should have the most powerful and popular models available. So why does it feel like it’s always trailing behind much younger companies like OpenAI and Anthropic? Case in point: Google’s newest model, released Wednesday and dubbed Gemini 4 A

Donald Trump has spent recent weeks insisting that AI data centers are fantastic and every American should want to have one in their community. The president has even claimed that they make everyone rich, teasing the idea of a “dividend” that could be paid out in communities where they’re built. But Trump seemed to contradict himself in a new interview published Thursday. The aspiring authoritarian leader admitted to Time magazine that he wouldn’t want to

env -i starts with an empty environment, so nothing leaks from my shell. The home directory is empty: no config, skills, memory, or history.

TAG134@@The code shows what is currently implemented, but does not necessarily explain why such an architecture was chosen. The documentation may contain the reasons if they were recorded and kept up to date. The conversation history preserves more details, but along with them—incorrect hypotheses and outdated information.Therefore, the task is not to make the agent read everything.TAG140@@You need to choose the appropriate source and determine how much of

Verdict. Yes—for a fixed instruction on models of this size, provided the state is trained on filtered data. The gains are in speed, and sometimes in accuracy and robustness; the state does not add knowledge.Details and limitations are below.In shortA folded prompt is a free and exact cache. It gives the same answers as the prompt text, and with a long prompt, the request starts up to 13 times faster.An inline prompt can degrade the model. On questions wit

At work, I have PostgreSQL. More precisely, I have many PostgreSQL instances: different services, environments, clusters, and hundreds of shards.A little context about me: I am currently a backend developer for high-load services, and previously worked as a DBA. So databases are not just an abstract storage layer behind an ORM for me, but neither do I manually carry every ALTER TABLE from server to server on a USB drive.Our services roll out standard migra

In this article, I’ll show how it works. I’ve made the basic part publicly available: jarvis-installer. You can install it and try it on your own project. Below, I describe my working environment.You copy the prompt or give the agent a link to the repository. Then it walks you through the installation: asks questions and helps you configure the system for your tasks. Any rule can be changed later.Now I’ll show how Jarvis works.Context Engineering, Progress
