Who hasn't dreamt of sitting on a green stool modeled like a thumbstick?

Microsoft is officially announcing a new Xbox feature that will allow Xbox owners to digitize their existing physical game collections. The disc-to-digital feature, which The Verge exclusively revealed last month, is part of work that Microsoft is doing for game preservation and in preparation for the next generation of Xbox consoles. "Most Xbox One and […]

The nine-piece Yxstaby collection (good luck pronouncing that) includes a TV stand, laptop stand, side table, lounge chair, and multi-functional toolbox, with standout products like a stool, cushion, […]

1. Retomando: o que é o Fzf Na primeira parte desta série vimos o que é o fzf, como instalá-lo e como usá-lo direto no shell com Ctrl+R , Ctrl+T e Alt+C . Quem também usa tmux no dia a dia ganha um segundo nível de integração: o fzf pode rodar dentro de janelas flutuantes (pop-ups) do próprio tmux, sem interferir no layout de painéis já aberto, e servir de seletor para operações do próprio tmux — trocar de sessão, de janela, de painel, matar processos em outro painel etc. 2. Por que integrar Fzf com Tmux Sem integração, usar o fzf dentro de uma sessão tmux funciona normalmente, mas cada busca ocupa o painel inteiro: se o objetivo é só escolher um arquivo ou trocar de branch rapidamente, o conteúdo do painel (um editor, um servidor rodando) é temporariamente coberto e é preciso "voltar" depois. Além disso, o tmux tem sua própria lista de coisas que fazem sentido filtrar de forma fuzzy — sessões, janelas, painéis — e não há um binding nativo do tmux para isso. O fzf-tmux , incluído na instalação do fzf, resolve o primeiro problema: roda o fzf em uma janela sobreposta (pop-up ou split temporário) que desaparece assim que a seleção é feita, sem afetar o conteúdo do painel original. Combinado com bindings customizados no tmux.conf , também resolve o segundo. 3. fzf-tmux: pop-ups nativos fzf-tmux é um wrapper de shell em torno do fzf que aceita as mesmas opções, mais flags de posicionamento e tamanho da janela sobreposta: # pop-up centralizado, 80% da largura e 60% da altura do terminal fzf-tmux -p 80%,60% # split na parte de baixo do painel atual, ocupando 40% da altura fzf-tmux -d 40% # split lateral à direita, ocupando 50% da largura fzf-tmux -d 50% -r A flag -p (disponível a partir do tmux 3.2, que suporta display-popup ) é a mais usada hoje: cria uma janela verdadeiramente flutuante, sobreposta ao conteúdo do painel, que não reorganiza o layout existente — diferente do -d , que faz um split real e temporariamente redistribui o espaço entre painéis. # substitui o Ctrl

I began this investigation with a specific question: can Codex autonomously add, modify, and delete its own memories? The product documentation already says that it has memory. What I wanted to know was who actually decides what survives. When an old chat contains a useful build command, does deterministic application code copy it into a database? Does the active coding model call a memory tool? Does another model summarize the chat later? When the command becomes obsolete, is the old fact overwritten, invalidated, aged out, or simply left where future agents may still find it? Those questions led to a more interesting result than a feature checklist. Codex has a genuine cross-session memory subsystem, but its behavior is split between model judgment and deterministic lifecycle code. Models decide what a rollout means and how durable guidance should be rewritten. Runtime code decides which rollouts are eligible, which evidence remains in the working set, when old records are deleted, and when the consolidation model is allowed to run. That makes the short answer precise: With local memories enabled, Codex can autonomously add, modify, merge, and remove persistent memory without a user approving each write. User-requested corrections follow a separate append-only note path, while retention, thread deletion, and reset provide additional forms of forgetting. The rest of this article explains why each word in that answer matters. This analysis is pinned to OpenAI Codex commit 8444cf63b50a8a88521e0d2970d49f659b48eac7 , checked on August 25, 2026. The feature is marked stable in that source tree but remains off by default, so this describes implemented behavior, not behavior every Codex user is currently receiving. Key Takeaways Codex local memory is a background two-model pipeline. One model extracts reusable material from each eligible rollout. A second model consolidates those outputs into a global file-based memory workspace. The LLM owns semantic CRUD, but not lifecy

Seri: Proxmox VE Cluster ve Corosync | Hafta 5 Serinin adı "Cluster ve Corosync"; ama dört modüldür ağırlık HA Manager, resource affinity ve CRS'teydi, Corosync'in kendisine (redundant link'ler, izleme araçları) hiç dönmemiştim. Bu modülde iki konuyu birleştirip derinlemesine işledim: birden fazla corosync link'i tanımlayıp gerçekten birini kesip diğerinin devralmasını kanıtlamak, ve günlük operasyonda kullanılacak izleme araçlarını tek tek denemek. İkisi de planladığımdan çok daha fazla soru açtı; biri yanlış bir config anahtarı yüzünden saatler süren bir araştırmaya dönüştü, diğeri ise hiç beklemediğim bir kilitlenme keşfiyle bitti. Bölüm 1: Redundant Corosync Links Kurulum: İkinci Link'i Eklemek Şu ana kadar cluster'ımızda tek bir corosync link'i vardı ( link1 , izole corosync-net ağı). Management ağını ( 192.168.122.x ) link0 olarak ekleyip gerçek bir yedeklilik kurdum; /etc/pve/corosync.conf 'u kopyalayıp düzenleyip atomik olarak yerine taşıdım: cp /etc/pve/corosync.conf /etc/pve/corosync.conf.new # nodelist'teki her node'a ring0_addr ekledim, totem'e ikinci bir interface bloğu ekledim mv /etc/pve/corosync.conf.new /etc/pve/corosync.conf Doğrulama: corosync-cfgtool -s LINK ID 0 udp addr = 192.168.122.11 status: ... connected ... connected LINK ID 1 udp addr = 10.10.10.11 status: ... connected ... connected Teknik olarak başarılı; iki link de bağlı. Ama log'a dikkatlice bakınca, mimarimizin niyetini tersine çeviren bir şey oldu: [KNET ] rx: host: 3 link: 0 is up [KNET ] host: host: 3 (passive) best link: 0 (pri: 1) link_mode: passive modunda, öncelik eşitken düşük numaralı link kazanıyor . link0 'ı sonradan eklediğim için, o Corosync'in asıl trafiğini üstlenmiş; Modül 0'da özellikle izole ettiğimiz corosync-net ( link1 ) sessizce yedek konuma düşmüştü. Yanlış Anahtar, Saatler Süren Bir Araştırma Bunu düzeltmek için link1 'e daha yüksek öncelik vermeye çalıştım: interface { linknumber : 0 priority : 5 } interface { linknumber : 1 priority : 10 } İşe yaramadı. cor

I just started a blog and published my first blog post about Logical Volume Management. I'm new to documenting my work, so I'd really appreciate any feedback on the content, clarity, or writing style in general. This site is a mix of a blog and a portfolio. Since I'm new to all of this, it would be great to get some feedback on whether this post works well just as a blog post, or if it actually holds up as a portfolio project too, before I keep writing more. www.mvtechblog.com Thanks in advance.

Honestly, when I saw Cloudflare's announcement, my first reaction wasn't "oh cool, something new"—it was "there goes another giant company proving the thing I've been saying all along." What Cloudflare Actually Did On August 4, Cloudflare (yes, the infrastructure giant that blocks traffic and runs CDNs for half the internet) launched "Cloudflare Wallets" and something called cloudflare.pay. It gives AI agents three things they didn't have before: An identity —a recognizable wallet handle so others know exactly which agent is paying A wallet —funded with stablecoins, so the agent can actually pay A spending cap —and this one is enforced by Cloudflare's infrastructure itself The structure here is what I think matters most. You (the human) hold an Account Wallet where the funds live; then, through an API key, you grant a limited slice of spending power to individual Virtual Wallets that your agents actually use. Here's the analogy that makes it click: the Account Wallet is your company's master account, and each Virtual Wallet is a prepaid card with a spending limit that you hand to one of your AI employees. The only difference is these "employees" are AI, and the limit on the card isn't managed by a credit card company's risk engine—it's written directly into Cloudflare's infrastructure. Payments run through the now widely-discussed x402 protocol: an agent wants to buy a service, and it pays for that one transaction on the spot with stablecoins. I should be upfront about something: it's not fully usable yet. As of August 5, it's in a "launched, you can reserve your cloudflare.pay name" state. The real funding, Virtual Wallets, and programmatic spend controls are, per Cloudflare, coming "over the next few months." So this is a clear directional statement, not a mature product you can fully adopt today. Why I'm Not Reading This as "One New Product"—I'm Reading It as an Industry Consensus If this were just Cloudflare doing its own thing, I wouldn't bother writing about i

Have you ever been coding and then gotten into that flow state? You know where hours pass by , and it feels to you it's only ben a few minutes? Me too. One thing that really helps me get into that state is music. So I create my own music Lo-Fi server called compile and chill. As a part of this project, I created three radio stations. Each station can generate a 16:9 scene with Amazon Bedrock , compose an instrumental loop with ElevenLabs, and turn an illustration into a six-second video through OpenRouter. Generated files live in private Amazon S3 storage and return to the browser through the Nuxt server. I also added a Stream Deck API interface! This tutorial shows how to build this radio station from start to finish. The complete source code is available in the Compile & Chill repository . Watch the full video on YouTube . Prerequisites You need the following tools for the complete build: Node.js 22.19 or newer. The locked Nuxt 4.5.2 release requires Node 22.19+, 24.11+, or 26+. npm 10 or newer. An AWS account and a configured AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) profile. The AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) CLI for the private storage stack. Access to Stability AI Stable Image Ultra through Amazon Bedrock in us-west-2 . An ElevenLabs API key for music generation. An OpenRouter API key for animated scenes. The provider credentials are optional. Without them, the UI, bundled scene, station switching, player, and Focus Block timer still work. The identity running the app needs bedrock:InvokeModel plus bucket-scoped permissions for s3:GetObject , s3:PutObject , s3:DeleteObject , s3:DeleteObjectVersion , and s3:ListBucketVersions . Use a role or profile scoped to the station bucket rather than an administrator identity. For this project I included infrastructure as code with SAM to help setup the AWS parts. It's also included in the repo. Steps 1. Run the station without credentials Pull down the repo and get started! git clone https://github.com/ErikCH/comp

The $200 million extension comes just months after the physical AI startup reached a $2 billion valuation.

SpaceX aims to launch Starship from Florida by the end of the year. 2027 seems more likely.

Some fortnights the complaint is the bill. This one it was the product itself. Across the forums where paying customers of the big AI tools compare notes, the same grievance surfaced against three different companies in the same window, and it wasn’t about price at all. It was about direction : the new model feels worse than the old one, the app quietly took away the thing I used, and I can’t even tell what I’m running any more. Quotes sourced from: Reddit — specifically the subreddits r/ClaudeAI, r/cursor and r/perplexity_ai. Every quote below was opened at its permalink and copied verbatim; each is listed with its handle, subreddit and date in the Sources section. We quote experiences, not verdicts — a forum post is one person’s felt reality, and model quality is genuinely subjective, so we have framed these as exactly that: what it felt like to the person typing. “Rage-inducing”: the flagship that felt like a step back The sharpest thread came from Claude Code users trying, and failing, to get on with a new top-end model. A user posting as ronoudgenoeg opened it on 13 August with a title that set the tone — “Opus 5 is actually almost rage-inducing to use” — and a specific, un-nostalgic complaint: “Responses are way too verbose and buzzwordy and hard to follow. I legit don’t read 90% of the output anymore, that’s how bad it is. No matter what I put in my claude.md when it comes to communication style, after it did any type of meaningful work, it always reverts back to its extremely verbose, over-explained, buzzword heavy mess.” What made the thread notable wasn’t one angry post; it was the agreement, and how concrete it was. zimxero described asking the model to make a file more concise and getting “walls of text” and an hour of unwanted process in return. BeowulfShaeffer was blunter: “I fired opus 5. Worst model I’ve ever tried to use. I refuse to use it anymore.” And the tell that this was regression rather than grumbling — several users independently reaching f

The company says it will start construction in 2027 and that a Starship rocket could take flight as soon as 2029.

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but there's a lot of software that just isn't very good. This isn't to say that I make the best software or am somehow better than the people who created all of this software. It's just an observation that the standards of what is deemed "shippable" seems to be at an all time low. We are so used to errors and interactions not working the first time that we all have a personal troubleshooting loop. Bugs and broken interactions are just becoming the norm because, as users, we've learned to accept them. One experience yesterday made this point especially poignant to me. Since my wife and I just moved, we're approaching our first bill cycle. I have six or seven different services that I needed to set up my online accounts with. This was an onslaught. Misconfigured form inputs. Forms getting cleared on errors. Logins not persisting. Disabled paste for bank account numbers (I think this one might be more standard, but paste will always be more accurate than me typing it manually, and I will die on this hill). Pages straight up crashing. Some companies already had an online account for us at our old house, and trying to get that user account to point to a new service account number was a trial out of the fifth circle of hell. I did eventually get everything set up the way that I needed to. But, it was a harrowing experience. Amidst the muck, our trash company of all services had an excellent user experience. The website looked like something from the early 2000s. It had un-styled form inputs and full page loads when navigating (*gasp*). But, I created a new account using my account number and paid our first bill, with some helpful error messages that didn't wipe out all of the inputs that I'd already entered, all in about three minutes. I don't have a bow to put on this rant, but I do think that it's ironic that in the name of UX, we've adopted systems that are so complex and abstract that it's perfectly acceptable for a form submission to w
