Your broker will not be notified. This is simply our way to earn your trust.
Error tracking has evolved far beyond catching stack traces after something breaks. In modern software teams, the best error tracking tools for developers help identify crashes in real time, group similar issues intelligently, surface rich debugging context, connect failures to code changes, and reduce the time between detection and resolution.
The hosting platform just debuted Vercel CI in beta to fix a growing bottleneck. Agents open more PRs than ever, yet most pipelines rerun everything on every push. Vercel CI only runs tasks your changes affect, pulls the rest from cache, and adjusts compute per task. Checks show up in GitHub, so branch protection rules stay intact. It’s available on all plans

This guide shows you how to customize Claude Code beyond settings and skills with small JavaScript or TypeScript mods that can react to session events, change behavior, or add custom UI. You’ll learn how to get Claude to build one from a simple description, tweak it live, and package it up once it’s useful.
This tutorial shows how to set up long-running agent loops that can keep tackling a hard engineering task for days or even weeks. You’ll learn how to give Claude verifiable goals, use “hill climbing” so it keeps improving its own result, and structure the loop so it doesn’t just burn tokens without making progress.

AI News:
The NYT just reported that U.S. officials found Alice Huang, an exec at Singapore-based data center firm Megaspeed, was allegedly passing intelligence to Beijing while keeping close ties with Jensen Huang, with Trump briefed about a year ago. It’s unclear what Ms. Huang passed to Beijing or its value, but officials worried she could offer insight into Trump’s view on chip sales to China, and into Nvidia itself.

Wallets are returning, stablecoin supply is rising and institutional money is still flowing in. Our free guide explains why we’re accumulating SOL now, plus the key metrics and risks to watch.
Anthropic introduced “self-assessment,” a technique where Claude reviews the chat after each reply and flags potential misuse, saying the system has been active since June and catching large-scale abuse that might otherwise be missed. Claude gives each conversation a quick safety verdict (whether it’s harmful, what kind of harm, and how urgent), which helps prioritize cases for human review.
Neuralink has enabled a patient to make phone calls without speaking, while testing a way to command Grok directly through brain signals. Neuralink's Bloom app lets a participant who cannot speak make iPhone calls by sending speech decoded from brain signals directly into the call. Neuralink prototyped a Grok AI agent that users can trigger by imagining saying "Hey Neuralink" followed by a task they want completed.
Turns out the delivery wars end with one app buying the other: DoorDash agreed Thursday to acquire Instacart for $17 billion, or $65 a share, with both boards already on board. Restaurant takeout meets grocery. DoorDash says it will keep Instacart's brand and app, and the two will run separately until the deal closes. Your burrito and your avocados may soon share a network.
Mistral just handed the world a trillion-parameter model to run on its own hardware. The French lab released weights for Mistral Large 4, nicknamed "Le Chonk," so businesses and governments can deploy it themselves. It says the model matches China's GLM-5.3 on cyber work while using 47 percent fewer tokens per task.
Gold Was $35 When This Mine Closed. Now It's $4,000.
The War Production Board shut this gold mine in 1942, and with gold fixed at $35 an ounce it never came back. Gold now trades above $4,000. A tiny company valued under $20 million owns it and started drilling again this summer. Get the free report and the ticker.
