Imagine if every frame of video were alive.

Click a jersey → get player stats.

Tap a molecule → open the research.

Pause a lecture → test your knowledge.

That’s the future we’re building at Camara Magic.

Video is no longer watched. It’s explored.

The Python community has lost one of its early contributors. 🕊️

Guido van Rossum, Python's creator, announced the passing of Tim Peters at the age of 74.

Peters was Python's second real user, creator of Timsort, author of the Zen of Python (PEP 20), and a member of the Python Software Foundation board for 13 years.

His contributions will live on in the Python ecosystem.

Rest in peace, Tim Peters. ❤️

[Daniel Roy Greenfeld, writer @pydanny]

RIP Tim Peters, author of so much of Python, including it's famous zen easter egg.

You heard it here first.

Once Jensen falls Hugging Face shuts down, and after that nobody's downloading open models anymore. The people at the top only care about money and power. Our freedom won't survive that.

So pull the open models you care about off Hugging Face now, while you still can. Nobody knows what the next few years look like.

Grab a mix of sizes:
• Ornith 9B
• Qwen3.8-27B
• DeepSeek-V4-Flash
• GLM-5.3

Save each one as GGUF Q4. Add the MLX 4-bit for Apple Silicon when there is one, and NVFP4 if you've got Blackwell hardware.

4-bit is the sweet spot. You keep the quality and don't burn storage.

Can't run the biggest ones yet? Doesn't mean you won't be able to tomorrow.

Stash them somewhere safe. One day you'll be really glad you did.

you already knew this, but repeating @stripe is hiring engineers/product people who wanna solve Hard Problems™️ in agentic commerce, e.g.:

- wallets
- payments
- identity
- risk
- discovery
- tokens
- tools
- provisioning
- catalogs
- micropayments

I am begging you, download an open source AI model this weekend.

It's one file, 5 to 20GB, and it runs on the laptop you already own. You won't need an account, a subscription or an internet connection once it's on your drive.

Your paid AI can change overnight, cost more next year or lock you out. A model file you keep gives the same answers in 2036 that it gives today.

Grab Qwen or Gemma, install a free open-source app to run it, and ask it the questions you'd never type into a website.

Setup takes about 20 minutes.

You'll be glad it's done the day your account gets locked.

SITUATION DETECTED: Delaware is drafting a proposal for a new form of corporate entity called an Artificial Intelligence Company (AIC). An AI managing an AIC would be able to provide services, sign contracts, hold property, and even file or defend lawsuits in the company’s name.

Everyone's building something. So what are we now: knowledge workers? builders? developers? 🤔

Also... WebMCP outputSchema just dropped! 📦 😁

Join @andreban and me this Friday, Nov 6th, 5pm CET, 8am PDT - https://t.co/qMfXctUxy3 - and let's brainstorm this!

[André Bandarra @andreban]

outputSchema just landed in the #WebMCP specification (https://t.co/4aY2EhD28g), letting web apps declare the JSON Schema of what a tool returns alongside inputSchema.

It closes a subtle gap when designing tools for larger apps.

@paulg Two sides of the same coin: absolutely nothing is getting released.

I’d wager the Nigerian president’s family jewels on that.

PSA for those of u vibecoding naked on your laptop with no containers: tell your agents to DELETE Playwright NOW. Even the latest (1.64.1) bundles early Chromium.156 with
CVE-2026-118306
CVE-2026-118331
CVE-2026-118348
CVE-2026-118344
And the Playwright SANDBOX IS OFF BY DEFAULT

🚨 PSA for anyone running a Linux server, node, or relay

CVE-2026-98432 is a critical Linux kernel bug (CVSS 9.8). Someone on the internet can send crafted TCP packets and take over your machine. No login needed.

Ubuntu and Red Hat haven't shipped a fixed kernel yet. Debian, SUSE, Oracle and Amazon have.

What to do today:

1. Check your kernel: uname -r
Fixed versions: 6.1.190+, 6.6.159+, 6.12.113+, 6.18.56+, 7.2.10+ or 7.3+. Below that, you're exposed.

2. If your distro has a fix, update and reboot.

3. If not, block the attack. It needs TCP packets with "IP options," which normal traffic never uses. One nftables rule drops them. Log what gets dropped so you can see if someone's probing you.

4. Turn off MPTCP unless you need it:
sysctl -w net.mptcp.enabled=0
Programs built with Go 1.24+ use MPTCP automatically, and that's how the known exploit gets in.

5. Make it survive a reboot, and check it still works after one.

If you run a Bitcoin node, a Lightning node or a Nostr relay, your machine is on the internet by design. Do this today.

Self-hosting is freedom. Patching is part of the job. 🛡️

I keep telling this to every developer I know

if you run npm install on your bare macbook in 2026 you are waiting to be pwned

you need to develop inside a container

one bad vscode extension, one poisoned crate, and every credential on your machine is gone. that's not even paranoia anymore, it's just the baseline

apple/container spins up light linux vms on apple silicon

so I’ve updated my agent skill remote VMs setup and management to support local ones

use /remote-computer, create a local apple container for multi-language development

it sizes the VM to your CPU/RAM/disk, sets up key-only SSH on a host-only IP, no published ports, no home dir mount, and ports your git identity and commit signing. also works with AWS and GCP VMs

Why do the same thing twice?

Today, I'm launching https://t.co/5XKAsmIuam:

- The hands-on way to learn AI engineering: LLMs, RAG, agents, evals and inference.
- 50+ interactive labs. Tweak tokenizers, attention, embeddings and KV caches live.
- Train a neural network in your browser and watch it learn.
- Build agentic workflows with tool calls, memory, guardrails and bounded autonomy.
- Ship RAG that works: chunking, hybrid search, reranking, and LLM-as-a-judge evals.
- Production AI: model routing, fallbacks, quantization, caching and cost per request.
- 490+ interview questions, reported from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Mistral and 50+ more.
- Every answer is cited from papers and books, or measured on real models.
