Alfred University student Sean Killian describes himself as inquisitive by nature, with a desire to learn how things work and how they can be improved. That mindset led Sean, a sophomore at Alfred ...

Agents that use the Model Context Protocol MCP have a scaling problem. Every tool definition and every intermediate result is pushed through the context window, which means large workflows burn tokens ...

The best stock market timing system of four decades ago is still beating a buy-and-hold approach. That’s remarkable for at least two reasons: First, it’s rare for any market timing system to ...

When most people think of timing, they usually think of clocks and being able to know the time of day. While that’s an important function, simply knowing the time isn’t enough today. Timing in an ...

Embedr is an AI-powered Arduino-like IDE designed to simplify development for Arduino-compatible microcontrollers. It looks very similar to the Cursor code editor and uses Microsoft’s Monaco Editor ...

The use of AI in software development has gained traction with the emergence of large language models (LLMs). These models are capable of performing coding-related tasks. This shift has led to the ...

We love Arduino here at Hackaday; they’ve probably done more to make embedded programming accessible to more people than anything else in the history of the field. One thing the Arduino ecosystem is ...

You can come close to matching the stock market’s return, and even have a good chance of beating it, while being in the safety of a money-market fund one-third of the time. That seems too good to be ...

The launch of Anthropic’s coding tool, Claude Code, is off to a rocky start. According to reports on GitHub, Claude Code’s auto-update function contained buggy commands that rendered some workstations ...
