The Homelab Rabbit Hole

As an IT/Linux enthusiast I've watched plenty of videos about homelabs. I’ve seen what people do at home and have always been trying to find a good excuse to dive into it. My current homelab (if you can call it that) is made up of a Raspberry Pi 4 (RPi) running PiHole and a Synology NAS running some applications (file syncing, photo management, jellyfin). Clearly nothing spectacular. I don’t really know why, but since recently I’ve been reading and watching videos about Home Assistant (HA), and

title: From Zero to Hermes Agent in 3 Days — An Honest Beginner's Journey

This is a submission for the Hermes Agent Challenge: Write About Hermes Agent Most tutorials start with a clean Linux machine, a working API key, and someone who already knows what they're doing. This is not that tutorial. This is the story of building a real project with Hermes Agent starting from a Windows PC with virtualisation disabled in the BIOS, zero Linux environment, and a deadline three days away. I built repo-audit-agent — a tool that uses Hermes Agent to perform first-pass technical

DynoSim: Simulating the Pareto Frontier

Modern LLM serving is hard to tune because each deployment is a stack of interacting choices: model backend, tensor-parallel shape, prefill/decode split, worker... Modern LLM serving is hard to tune because each deployment is a stack of interacting choices: model backend, tensor-parallel shape, prefill/decode split, worker counts, scheduler settings, routing policy, KV cache behavior, autoscaling thresholds, and topology. Those choices interact across layers, and a local improvement can shift th

SpaceX gets $4 billion contract to build missile-tracking ‘Golden Dome’ satellites

The Pentagon awarded SpaceX a $4.16 billion contract to build missile-tracking satellites linked with President Donald Trump's planned "Golden Dome" defense system, as reported earlier by Bloomberg. In an announcement on Friday, the US Space Force says the sensor-equipped satellites will allow it to detect and track targets from space. The Elon Musk-owned SpaceX - which recently filed for what could be the biggest initial public offering ever - already has contracts with the Space Force to devel

AI Disruptors: How the Next Generation of Business is Being Built

Getting your hands on a capable AI model is the easy part now. Every team can reach the same frontier models through an API, so a strong model is not what sets a product apart. What separates a working product from a demo is everything around the model. You have to measure whether the agent is actually doing its job, then keep grinding on reliability until it stops making expensive mistakes in front of real users. I moderated a panel on exactly that moderated a panel on exactly that at DigitalOc
