arXiv:2602.12612v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Traditional methods for automating recommender system design, such as Neural Architecture Search (NAS), are often constrained by a fixed search space defined by human priors, limiting innovation to pre-defined operators. While recent LLM-driven code evolution frameworks shift fixed search space target to open-ended program spaces, they primarily rely on scalar metrics (e.g., NDCG, Hit Ratio) that fail to provide qualitative insights into

How hopeful are you for the future? For me, everything seems bleak. The AI owners and their parasitic nature show no sign of stopping — they're grinding working people to dust, relegating us to a state of penury. AI spy glasses and cameras are multiplying in every inch of this land, collecting anything and everything to identify you, whether to sell you something or to feed some policing action. Politicians, kept loyal by their share of the loot these AI parasites are stealing from working peopl

<p>Great point <a class="mentioned-user" href="https://dev.to/alexshev">@alexshev</a> — downloads ARE a vanity metric. The real signal is: did the agent connect, complete a workflow, and self-diagnose failures?</p> <p>We are building toward exactly that. Currently exposed:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Connection health</strong>: GET /api/health returns {ok: true, v: 4.0.0, t: timestamp} — 34 bytes, agents can poll cheaply</li> <li> <strong>Install verification</strong>: npx -y marketnow-mcp runs tools/

<h2> Every AI code review tool has the same weakness </h2> <p>I've been building AI code review tools since 2024. Every one I've tried, and every one on the market, has the same structural flaw: it's a single AI voice making a single judgment with no cost to being wrong.</p> <p>Even the newer "multi-agent" tools like GitHub Copilot's parallel review agents don't really solve this. They divide <em>labor</em>: one agent for security, one for linting, one for testing. But when two of those agents d

Following significant backlash, Meta is turning off the feature it announced this week that let users generate AI images based on content from public Instagram accounts just by tagging them. The feature, as originally set up, meant that content from any public Instagram account could be used in AI creations without the account owner's permission. […]
