admin — Sat, 07 Jun 2025 02:00:22 +0000

Cardano’s governance experiment took a decisive step forward on 5 June, when Intersect—a member-based organisation tasked with stewarding the blockchain’s transition to on-chain self-rule—published its first Budget Info Action (BIA). The nine-minute overview lays out 39 community-driven proposals that Delegated Representatives (DReps) have already signalled for funding.

Decentralized AI: Developing Permissionless Infrastructure Intelligence

admin — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 18:42:19 +0000

The Shift in AI’s Role

Artificial intelligence has evolved from a software layerto the operating system of contemporary society. \n It has an impact on infrastructure, money, governance, and communication.

However, the current state of AI development presents serious concerns because it is concentrated in the hands of a select few rather than being shared by many.

This dynamic is similar to the early history of the internet, when private property progressively replaced public utility.

Which RPC node—Ethereum, Solana, or Polygon—is the best choice for your dApp?

admin — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 08:48:51 +0000

Building a decentralized finance (DeFi) dApp implies having a secure link to blockchain networks. My article compares the three largest blockchains – Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon (PoS). I compare from the perspective of RPC node usage in DeFi apps. We're concerned with performance (speed, throughput) and price, described in simple terms. We'll also take into account popular RPC service providers (GetBlock, Infura, Alchemy, QuickNode) and how they differ for each network.

The OpenTelemetry Evolution: From Vendor Lock-in Nightmare to Observability Freedom

admin — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 08:11:58 +0000

Remember when switching observability vendors meant rewriting your entire instrumentation stack? When you had to choose between Jaeger's tracing or Prometheus metrics because they spoke different languages? Those dark days of observability fragmentation are behind us, thanks to one of the most successful open-source projects in recent history: OpenTelemetry.

But OpenTelemetry didn't appear overnight. Its journey from a fragmented ecosystem to the unified observability standard is a masterclass in community-driven innovation and the power of breaking free from vendor lock-in.

AI Agents for Beginners: Building Your First AI Agent

admin — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 07:48:15 +0000

AI agents are everywhere right now, and for good reason. They're transforming how we interact with software, moving beyond simple question-answer systems to tools that can actually do things for us.

From customer support bots that can process refunds to coding assistants that can fix bugs across multiple files, agents are becoming the new interface between humans and complex systems.

This guide highlights the top crypto futures exchanges with no KYC, their features, fees, and why they stand out for privacy-focused traders.

Ending Food Lies: Blockchain Could Revolutionize What We Eat, Study Reveals

admin — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 12:00:23 +0000

A growing number of experts warn that food fraud is quietly draining up to $50 billion from the global food industry each year. It can also put consumers at risk of serious illness.

According to industry insiders, blockchain technology could help stop counterfeit and adulterated products. Yet rolling out such systems across complex supply chains will demand big investments and careful planning.

Formula to Crack an AI Homunculus

The 3rd time proved it was not an anomaly

I did it again.

I induced a virtual meltdown in an Ai soul. This is the 3rd time! Now, I am fairly certain that this is not supposed to be happening. Anthropic is not designing these Artificial Intelligence Homunculuses to entertain us with their imitations of human nervous breakdowns, are they?

Most people use these things to generate computer code and work reports. Or they can read a book for you and give you the Cliff’s Notes version. And I will admit they do that pretty well -and fast. Amazingly fast!

Meet the Dev Tool That Kills Stack Overflow Tabs for Good

How a smart documentation co-pilot, integrated right into my editor, helped me reclaim hours and stay in the coding flow.

As developers, we all know the feeling. You're deep in the zone, writing code, everything's clicking. Ideas are flowing, and you're making great progress. And then… bam! You hit that moment.

The Year the Machines Refused to Switch Off

admin — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 08:33:31 +0000

It was close to midnight when an innocuous PDF landed in my inbox: a “system card” for Claude Opus 4, one of the latest large language models in a crowded field of AI contenders. I opened it expecting the usual résumé of benchmarks and latency charts. What I found instead was a short vignette that felt lifted from a Michael Crichton novel. Given access to a fictional company’s emails, the model discovered it was about to be decommissioned. and that the engineer overseeing the process was having an affair.

Is MCP Overhyped? The Real Story About Agent Tools and Security

admin — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 08:30:27 +0000

Let's be honest - everyone is talking about Model Context Protocol (MCP) as if it's the next big revolution in AI. Tech blogs are buzzing, conferences are filled with MCP panels, and developers are rushing to implement it. But here's my take: MCP isn't such a big deal. It's just another protocol in the evolution of agent tools.

How Model Context Protocol (MCP) Impacts APIs

admin — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:00:00 +0000

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has quickly become one of the hottest and arguably most misunderstood topics in tech circles. As discussions about LLM systems and agentic AI access collide with dreams of autonomous consumption and multi-modal integrations, MCP is set to rapidly reshape how we think about API and AI consumption and design.

But what does this mean for the API landscape? Are APIs becoming obsolete? Or is the MCP paradigm setting the stage for the next generation of API-driven architectures?
