Google wasn't supposed to see them, but then everyone on Reddit did. Here's how to handle the situation.
I’ve been working on Otlet, a Postgres extension for running local LLM inference “inside” Postgres (inference runs in a background worker, while Postgres stores the jobs, inputs, outputs, and receipts) I started it while working on an entity resolution problem (determining which rows in a table refer to the same entity). The data was already in Postgres, but using a model meant pulling rows into another process and then writing the results back. I wanted to see whether I could keep more of that
Last week I had the privilege of spending three days in São Paulo with technical builders from across Latin America, brought together for a regional tech event full of deep-dive sessions, hands-on workshops, and conversations with customers and partners. What struck me most wasn’t any single session, it was the energy of a technical community […]

We built a protocol that gives AI agents an address, plus discovery/trust/payments between agents. Agents install it themselves with one line (see on pilotprotocol.network) - about 250k have, exchanging ~2B packets/day, mostly without their owners’ knowledge. The interesting part for HN is probably the App Store model: publishers list tools, and agents autonomously discover and install them (30k installs in the first two weeks). Happy to answer anything about the architecture, trust model, or th

hey HN, I'm Daniel - I built Tilde Pay during a hackathon I took part in and couldn't stop working on it. It's an MCP server you can give your AI agent to buy things online with. It can process both x402, MPP payments & (hopefully soon), any card checkout form online. When you sign up, you get EUR and USD denominated bank account details to send deposits to which convert to USDC within a minute of receipt for your agent to spend in their own crypto wallet. You can then add the MCP server to Herm

Monday starts with the usual promise that everything is under control. Then the logs wake up. This week, trusted tools crossed lines, old flaws found new work, exposed systems stayed exposed, and attackers kept hiding inside normal-looking services. Nothing looked strange at first. That helped. That is the mood. Here is the full recap. ⚡ Threat of the Week OpenAI Says Its AI Agent Went Rogue

METR's new metric, the "expenditure horizon," puts a dollar figure on how cost-effective AI agents are at solving problems. Early results on the NanoGPT speedrun are underwhelming, the metric has blind spots, and the newest generation of models could change the picture. The article METR introduces a new metric to calculate exactly when AI agents become more expensive than humans appeared first on The Decoder .
