SOLmates is a project that turns NFTs into connectors. Each token is minted with a soulmate, but that pair stays locked until the right two holders come along. It's Tinder meets cryptography, minus the awkward DMs.

There are a few easy ways to check when an SSL certificate expires. Write Your Own Shell Script. Use a Prebuilt Script. Get Notified with a Telegram Bot.

Prompt engineering is evolving. These 8 tools turn it from guesswork into infrastructure. Visual workflows, memory graphs, auto-tuning, and more.

Muddy Waters didn’t blow the lid off anything. They threw together a thesis with a pile of ominous-sounding tech jargon and AI fearbait, hoping that was enough to make competent tech look suspicious to a market too tired to question anything. This teardown walks through it all: what AXON actually does, how retargeting really works, why the pixel isn’t some surveillance hack, and how...

Annotators rate AI responses more positively when lacking context. Dialogue summaries improve relevance labels, but usefulness judgments remain challenging.

This study investigates how varying the amount and type of dialogue context affects the consistency and quality of crowdsourced relevance and usefulness judgments in AI evaluation.

Varying dialogue context impacts crowdsourced judgments on relevance and usefulness in AI evaluation. LLMs like GPT-4 help improve consistency and efficiency in assessments.

Too much or too little dialogue context skews how annotators rate AI systems. Summarized context from LLMs improves label consistency with less effort.

Big Tech is taking over healthcare by owning the data. Companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are partnering with hospitals and collecting sensitive health data to fuel AI, insurance, and targeted advertising. This raises concerns about privacy, AI bias, and the ethics of data monetization. Patients need stronger control over their health data to avoid a future where profits trump patient care.

Unpack the triple threat of race, gender, and education facing darker-skinned Black women navigating institutional violence, colorism, and silencing tactics.

The project tackles some serious challenges in AI development. It's about understanding how AI systems can develop their own patterns of behavior and understanding. We're talking about autonomous systems that can think, decide, and act on their own. The fascinating thing about working with AI agents is watching them develop patterns you didn't explicitly program.

Machine learning system design round is increasingly becoming one of the rounds of assessment at top FAANG companies for ML engineers. The caveat is that ML System design interviews are still not formalised or haven’t become standardised across the industry. This article is less about giving you interview questions or prep materials, but more about giving a sense of criteria you have to watch...

It was in early 2025 that I initiated my own blog, OpenExploit.in, with one simple aim: to make cybersecurity easy to learn and available to all.

LLM prompt modularization allows you to safely introduce changes to your system over time. How and when to do it is described below.

Selzy shares the reasons why spam lands in your inbox and offers effective tips to identify and avoid spam emails.

In this edition of ToDUX, I discuss why the mantras “if it’s not tested, it’s just another opinion” and “some research is better than no research” can be harmful. My new article in The UX Collective explains how poorly executed research can stifle innovation and undermine designs based on solid principles, while also offering ways to improve research practices and empower others. I’ve also...

Excellence isn't about running the race better, it's about changing the track entirely. Richard Feynman didn't solve impossible physics problems by working harder than other scientists. Excellence isn't just intentional – it's subversive.

Financial inclusion is essential for social equity and economic growth, yet millions remain underserved by traditional banks. Gluwa uses blockchain technology to break these barriers, offering transparent, secure, and accessible financial services to marginalized communities globally.

Attackers will inject malicious js code into the e-commerce websites and steal the payment-related details, credit card numbers, and CVVs from the checkout pages. They disturb the third-party packages with the use of maliciousjs code and get the user’s sensitive data. The real examples of this attack are. the British Airways breach in 2018 resulted in 380,000 payment records being stolen due to a...
