OpenAI Codex Introduces the Autonomous /goal Command Standard AI coding assistants force developers into a tedious prompt-response loop, demanding manual guidance for every micro-step. This ping-pong approach breaks focus during complex refactoring or performance optimization tasks. The new /goal command in OpenAI Codex shifts the paradigm from isolated prompts to persistent autonomous workflows. By defining a long…

Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 22 May 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Bureaucracy vs. Cryptography: The Endless Battle for Private Chats Legislative attempts to regulate encryption frequently appear as standard political friction. However, the modified Chat Control Act introduces a critical threat to privacy-by-design architectures. By replacing explicit mass surveillance with a system of dynamic risk categories, the initiative pressures messaging providers to implement predictive AI …
Master GitHub Copilot CLI in 11 Minutes (Full Tutorial) Developers typically leverage AI inside code editors, while transferring context to the command line remained a compromise. GitHub Copilot CLI changes this pattern, turning the terminal into a native environment for agentic workflows. The tool allows developers to inspect local repositories, generate diffs, run parallel tasks via the /fleet command, and perform…
Data and the EU. Two cases of empowering special services for the sake of democracy State attacks on cryptography have long become a routine masked by security slogans. Yet, the upcoming 2026 EU legislation fundamentally rewrites the architecture of digital surveillance. Europol will gain the authority to collect mass biometric and metadata without tying it to specific incidents. This directly threatens the core pri…
Did Dawkins Find Consciousness in Claude? And If Not, What Did He Find? Human cognition consistently falls into the trap of projecting consciousness onto algorithms. When evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins hinted at Claude's sentience after a two-day chat, the mechanics of parasitic patterns became obvious. Deep philosophical queries force an LLM to extract complex semantic structures from its training dataset. …
Why Build Another Chrome Tab Manager? Yes, the Chrome Web Store is flooded with tab-saving extensions. But read the reviews: most eventually corrupt or lose state. Building a truly reliable backup system requires sidestepping third-party servers entirely. A zero-config architecture solves this by leveraging the native Google API sync already active in the browser. This approach ensures strict data persistence witho…
Automating PostgreSQL Infrastructure Control Managing massive database clusters often means fighting messy configurations and missing critical alerts. The PPEM 2.3 update replaces manual routine with strict, automated control over the infrastructure. Key architectural shifts: — Bulk configuration rollouts via user-defined presets. — Native OpenTelemetry integration for deep tracing. — Two-click HA cluster operatio…
Why Billion-Dollar LLMs Fail Basic Math Modern generative models struggle with elementary arithmetic. Despite massive investments, fixing this via Chain-of-Thought or fine-tuning hits a hard wall. The root cause is architectural: standard neural networks process continuous transformations, while math demands discrete logic. Bridging this gap requires a hybrid approach. Merging the rigid precision of symbolic AI wit…
The Hidden Mechanics of the SaaSpocalypse Software stocks are in freefall. Social media is drowning in videos of AI executives predicting the imminent collapse of the traditional software industry. This apocalyptic narrative has been playing on loop for two years. Beneath the viral panic and the plunging charts, a fundamental transformation of standard business models is taking place. The current market anxiety act…
DPI vs. Router: Winning Back 4K August 1st brought 240p buffers. The ISP's equipment parses the SNI (Server Name Indication) in plain text, detects googlevideo.com, and applies the shaper. Browser plugins are a half-measure; the traffic needs to be treated at the gateway. We analyze the router configuration to bypass blocking. The solution lies in manipulating the SSL handshake: fragmenting packets or spoofing sign…
Deep System Tuning: Beyond the Control Panel Standard personalization is merely a facade. True control over the environment requires modifying the registry and injecting into the shell. We review the essential stack for the power user: PowerToys & ExplorerPatcher: Fixing workflow and taskbar logic. WinAero Tweaker: Unlocking hidden legacy parameters. Rainmeter: Rendering custom overlays. Direct intervention in …
Sequence Diagrams: Code vs. Mouse Drawing architectural flows in graphical editors is a maintenance nightmare. One logic change often forces a manual realignment of the entire canvas. This is not engineering; it is pixel pushing. The scalable alternative is PlantUML. We treat diagrams as code: git-friendly, versionable, and integrated into the IDE. The text covers the transition from GUI to syntax, analyzes groupin…
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @habr_eng. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
