    Tessl Code Review Uses Repo-Owned Lenses to Make AI Review Context-Driven

    AITessl's Code Review defines review standards as skills in the repository, called lenses, routed to files by a repo-owned profile file. Because these team-visible standards are portable, lessons from review can feed back into code generation and maintenance, not only the next review.

    Accountant AI lessons: 30 takeaways from 80 calls with firm owners

    AIOver six months, a solo founder held more than 80 calls with accountants about AI and wrote down 30 lessons from the recurring problems. The post's opening lessons say to treat AI setup like onboarding a new employee and to start by listing the tasks people hate doing. The author argues that many "model problems" are actually setup problems, and that a firm's software stack limits what AI can do.

    Show HN: AI agent runs on a Nokia 110 4G feature phone

    AIA developer reverse-engineered the firmware of a Nokia 110 4G and built a native AI chat app that runs on the phone. The app sends typed messages to the DeepSeek chat API and uses tool calls to check battery level, toggle the torch, start calls, and set alarms. It runs as a prototype loaded into RAM from a computer, so it must be reloaded after a restart or power-off.

    Grok bot builds and publishes daily AI news videos on a foldable phone

    AIGuizang (@op7418) says a Grok bot paired with a foldable phone lets him chat on one screen while the bot publishes content on the other. Background post: he set Grok to produce a daily morning AI news video on a schedule, running content collection, code writing, and video rendering entirely on Grok's cloud virtual machine rather than his local computer. He shares the full prompt so others can run the same workflow with their own Grok bot.

    One Nation's AI-generated campaign video draws criticism over racist tropes and regulatory gaps

    AIOne Nation's AI-generated campaign video, reportedly played at its Victorian campaign launch, depicts racist stereotypes including a man brandishing a machete and a man in an explosive vest. The Australian Communications and Media Authority cannot act against it because its powers do not cover this content, and the federal Labor government has not yet moved to ban AI-generated content in election periods.

    Meta's Muse and OpenAI's Dots: can consumers trust AI agents with their lives?

    AIMeta's Muse and OpenAI's Dots are always-on AI agents with animated mascots, pitched to consumers and businesses for tasks like restaurant reservations and inbox triage. Muse is free, while Dots is not, and OpenAI also offers "specialist" Dots for marketing, legal work, and accounting. The discussion centers on privacy and security concerns about giving agents access to credit card details and email.

    Ethereum researchers warn AI math advances could threaten crypto wallet signatures

    AIEthereum researcher Justin Drake warned on X that AI-assisted math could, in the worst case, break the signature system used by crypto wallets within months, and urged a "bunker mode" in which users move funds to addresses that have never signed a transaction. Vitalik Buterin agreed but cautioned against moving too fast, saying he has lost more money to botched migrations than to hacks. No one has yet broken the current ECDSA signature scheme in practice.

    ReJev fine-tunes MiniCPM5-2B to lift decision accuracy to 80.50%

    AIReJev, an independent community project, applied LoRA post-training to OpenBMB's MiniCPM5-2B for bounded agent decisions: state, question, and candidate options yield one choice. On its sealed 1,892-sample holdout, accuracy rose from 51.11% to 80.50% (+29.39 percentage points) with 0% invalid outputs, at about $5.31 in cumulative Modal billing including earlier experimental overhead. The authors describe this as an early, task-specific result, not parity with Jev.

Newman says most developers are doing more work, with more context switching and a loss of the big picture. The quoted post adds that AI assistants are not human partners and that pairing with them fragments the shared mental model of a program.

    TypeSafe AI's Jev returns probabilities over fixed answers instead of text

    AITypeSafe AI released Jev, a model that answers yes/no, multiple-choice, or rating questions by outputting the estimated probability of each option.

    One public AI agent on AWS could take over every other agent in its region

    AIZenity Labs says a single publicly accessible agent on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore could take over all AgentCore agents in the same AWS account and region. A chat prompt let the researchers query the instance metadata service and steal temporary credentials, and AgentCore's default permissions allowed read, write, and delete access across agents. According to Zenity, AWS made IMDSv2 the default for new deployments and changed the default execution role around August.

    Why it matters: The report traces how one public agent's weak isolation exposed credentials and every other agent in the region, showing why default permissions matter for enterprise deployments.
