For the MCP ecosystem to grow, we need better developer tools. Today, we’re publicly launching MCP Inspector. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is rapidly becoming the standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools and data sources. But as developers build MCP servers, they face a common challenge: how do you test and debug them…
Hi All I’m not a developer. I work in the gold sector across multiple African countries and the UAE, and I spend an absurd amount of time wrestling with spreadsheets and PDFs that should be talking to each other but aren’t. Everyone keeps saying AI can code now. That tools like Cursor and Claude can…
In this post we will create a striking grayscale effect by examining grayscale, thresholds, and S-curves. For this post, we will be converting the Calling of Saint Matthew by Caravaggio into grayscale. Caravaggio’s paintings are striking in their use of light. We aim to preserve that quality while transforming this masterwork to grayscale. A Simple…
The Edifier ES60 is a decent retro-style speaker, but its audio performance and underwhelming battery life hold it back from brilliance.
Looking for Quordle clues? We can help. Plus get the answers to Quordle today and past solutions.
DeepSeek’s Engram decouples memory from computation, enabling AI models to scale efficiently while alleviating costly HBM constraints globally.
I wanted my portfolio to feel familiar to other developers — not like yet another generic personal website. So I decided to build a VS Code–inspired portfolio that actually looks and behaves like an IDE. The goal was simple: when a developer opens it, it should feel instantly recognizable. What it includes: An editor-style layout…
LLM calls are expensive in latency, tokens, and compute. Caching is one of the most effective levers to reduce cost and speed up responses. This post explains two foundational caching techniques you can implement today: Exact-match (key-value) caching and Semantic (embedding) caching. We cover how each works, typical implementations, pros/cons, and common pitfalls. Why caching…
We’ve all been there. You just finished writing a killer Python script to clean up your database or an important bash script to rotate logs. The hard work is done. Now you just need it to run automatically every Tuesday at 3:15 AM. You type crontab -e. The terminal opens. You stare at the blinking…
It’s finally time to put the spotlight on the iPhone 5s – not like I’ve mentioned it much.
