Cloudflare Email Service: now in public beta. Ready for your agents
Email is the most accessible interface in the world. It is ubiquitous. There’s no need for a custom chat application, no custom SDK for each channel. Everyone already has an email address, which means everyone can already interact with your application or agent. And your agent can interact with anyone. If you are building an […]
Cloudflare’s AI Platform: an inference layer designed for agents
AI models are changing quickly: the best model to use for agentic coding today might in three months be a completely different model from a different provider. On top of this, real-world use cases often require calling more than one model. Your customer support agent might use a fast, cheap model to classify a user’s […]
Show HN: 48 absurd web projects – one every month
A year ago I posted here about a small experiment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44162363 I build one absurd web project every month and publish it on https://absurd.website I kept going. There are now 48 projects. The idea is still the same – I build mostly unnecessary web projects that sit somewhere between experiments, jokes, products, and art. But […]

AI cybersecurity is not proof of work
The proof of work is the wrong analogy: finding hash collisions, while exponentially harder with N, is guaranteed to find, with enough work, some S so that H(S) satisfies N, so an asymmetry of resources used will see the side with more ”work ability” eventually winning. But bugs are different: 1. Different LLMs executions take […]
Codex Hacked a Samsung TV
This post documents our research into using AI to hack hardware devices. We’d like to acknowledge OpenAI for partnering with us on this project. No TVs were seriously harmed during this research. One may have experienced mild distress from being repeatedly rebooted remotely by an AI. We started with a shell inside the browser application […]
SDL bans AI-written commits
I’ve noticed the use of Copilot within a few reviews (13277 and 12730) which concerns me given the vast amount of issues associated with this technology (ethical, environmental, copyright, health, etc) so I was hoping a policy could be put in place to forbid this technology. I have a project using SDL and I don’t […]
