đź’Ą Check out this must-read post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: đź’ˇ **What You’ll Learn**: Crypto’s most infamous collapse is back in the spotlight, and this time the blast radius reaches deep into Wall Street. A new lawsuit doesn’t just revisit the $40 billion Terra-Luna meltdown; it questions whether one of the world’s most sophisticated trading firms saw the collapse coming and moved first. If the allegations hold up in court, the narrative around Terra’s death spiral may shift from inevitable failure to something far more uncomfortable: informed players exiting while everyone else was still being told to hold.Jane…

🚀 Check out this must-read post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: âś… **What You’ll Learn**: The Secretary of Defense has given an ultimatum to the artificial intelligence company Anthropic in an attempt to bully them into making their technology available to the U.S. military without any restrictions for their use. Anthropic should stick by their principles and refuse to allow their technology to be used in the two ways they have publicly stated they would not support: autonomous weapons systems and surveillance. The Department of Defense has reportedly threatened to label Anthropic a “supply chain risk,” in retribution for…

Today it is often weird. My laptop has only 256GB SSD hard drive with 32GB RAM. Following this, a fourth of my disk would be swap. At the time, case was different. In 1997, a machine with 8 MB physical RAM and 320 MB disk was typical. That was only 1/20 of the disk. The difference of this ratio…

🔥 Discover this must-read post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: đź“Ś **What You’ll Learn**: Every AI agent using MCP is quietly overpaying. Not on the API calls themselves - those are fine. The tax is on the instruction manual. Before your agent can do anything useful, it needs to know what tools are available. MCP’s answer is to dump the entire tool catalog into the conversation as JSON Schema. Every tool, every parameter, every option. CLI does the same job but cheaper. I took an MCP server and generated a CLI from it using CLIHub. Same tools, same OAuth,…

But what about 3D?

đź’Ą Discover this awesome post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: đź“Ś **What You’ll Learn**: 3 February 1967 is a day that belongs in the annals of music history.

đź’Ą Explore this insightful post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: đź“Ś **What You’ll Learn**: Pure-Go tree-sitter runtime — no CGo, no C toolchain, WASM-ready. go get github.com/odvcencio/gotreesitter Implements the same parse-table format tree-sitter uses, so existing grammars work without recompilation. Outperforms the CGo binding on every workload — incremental edits (the dominant operation in editors and language servers) are 90x faster than the C implementation. Every existing Go tree-sitter binding requires CGo. That means: Cross-compilation breaks (GOOS=wasip1, GOARCH=arm64 from Linux, Windows without MSYS2) CI pipelines need a C toolchain in every build image go install fails for end users…

It originally said the Pentagon had to follow Anthropic’s Usage Policy like everyone else. In January, the Pentagon attempted to renegotiate, asking to ditch the Usage Policy and instead have Anthropic’s AIs available for “all lawful purposes”. Anthropic demurred, asking for a guarantee that their AIs would not be used for mass surveillance of American citizens or no-human-in-the-loop killbots. The Pentagon refused the guarantees, demanding that Anthropic accept the renegotiation unconditionally…
