x402 will eventually free us from the pain of API Key Management. I only am not sure yet how long it will take me to get comfortable with my agents having their own wallet and paying for their own needs like inference costs and what not. But agentic commerce is coming.

How to: Encrypt Your Windows, Mac, or Linux Computer
Encrypting your computer's storage drive is a simple, but powerful tool to secure your data. When enabled, "full-disk" encryption (also known as device encryption) encrypts everything on your computer so it cannot be viewed without first entering a password when you log in.

Good morning, day, evening or night, wherever you are. I finally want to push my own decoupling from Big Tech. A thing harder to do than I thought. I got another SSD and now going to dual-boot my PC with (still my safe heaven, so to say) Windows 11 and Debian 13. Whish me luck.

This paper about Meta Prompting [MP] and Recursive Meta Prompting [RMP] is very interesting. I like the concept of defining the steps to solve the problem, instead of doing few-shotting with exemplars. Also having self improving prompts sounds intriguing.

Hey agentic AI people. If you did not already have a look at DeepCode, you might want to check it out. Sure, it works best with the expensive models, but I am trying to find some opensource variants that work well. Looks good and it is opensource.

A challenge of MCP is that the current implementation is relying heavily on inference. The model gets a bunch of tools and must decide which one to use. Using code generation is better. I like this. I just need an opensource WASM replacement for workers.
