Over the last 20 years, I repeatedly got frustrated with how slow WordPress (WP) is, especially once you stack a few plugins on it. Since 40% or what of all websites still run on WP, I decided [and please don't ask why, I have no idea what drove me] it could be useful to apply my C/C++ performance experience to a brand new from-scratch WP core to save about 50% of infrastructure while simultaneously increasing performance. With agent assisted coding I thought it could actually be doable to build out most of WP' API surface, and it was! (over multiple months) Try the live demo, including wp-ad…

Tenuo is a task-scoped authz primitive for agentic work. We are an open protocol and an open source implementation at github.com/tenuo-ai/tenuo We created a fork of OWASP finbot with Tenuo wired in and red-teamed it with promptfoo. We went from 50 successful attacks to 0 with Tenuo. The promptfoo attacks were able to fool the model, but the deterministic guardrails Tenuo provides stopped it from acting on the poisoned instructions.

But the hackers ordered the units to heat up and stay hot, although Danfoss did not confirm any reports about just how warm the fridges and freezers could become in that process. Danfoss said the affected cold units were older models whos…

I built this for my own use case, and I think other people could benefit from it. It's essentially a Rust rewrite of the ffmpeg CLI command, but with a modern API and good defaults + a native HTML/CSS composition engine that's been fine tuned for speed and memory efficiency. Under the hood, it still uses the libav* codecs from ffmpeg, so it can still work on a variety of formats. Works very well with AI agents too: prompt what kind or intro/animation/graphics you need (or give it a reference), let the LLM come up with the HTML/CSS for it (Opus 5.5 is quite good at this), and let it use them o…
