A real astrology engine disguised as a fortune teller. A scammer-punishment machine loaded with the Shrek screenplay. A tool that reads any book and maps every idea to your actual life. These are not normal skills.
Tencent has open-sourced TencentDB Agent Memory, a fully local memory system for AI agents released under the MIT license. The project pairs symbolic short-term memory, which offloads verbose tool logs into a compact Mermaid task canvas, with a 4-tier long-term memory pyramid (L0 Conversation → L1 Atom → L2 Scenario → L3 Persona). It ships as an OpenClaw plugin and a Hermes Docker image, runs on local SQLite + sqlite-vec by default, and uses hybrid BM25 + vector retrieval with RRF fusion. Tencent's own benchmarks report a 61.38% token reduction and 51.52% relative pass-rate gain on WideSearch with OpenClaw, alongside PersonaMem accuracy moving from 48% to 76%.

AI agents start every session from zero — no memory of meetings, notes, or decisions. GBrain, the open-source memory layer Y Combinator's Garry Tan built to power his own OpenClaw and Hermes deployments, fixes that with a markdown-first knowledge graph that wires itself through regex inference, not LLM calls. This step-by-step coding tutorial walks through installing GBrain v0.38.2.0, building a brain repo, running hybrid search, and connecting it to Claude Code via MCP — about 20 minutes, all terminal output captured live.

Journalist Simone Stolzoff in a new book explores why modern life makes not knowing harder – and how to learn to live with it
Simone Stolzoff describes himself as “naturally an uncertain person” inclined to rumination and self-doubt. This tendency benefits him in his work as a journalist, but can otherwise be a double-edged sword.
While working for a magazine in New York, Stolzoff was approached about a job at a design firm in San Francisco. Now, he laughs at how tortured he felt “having to decide between two attractive career paths”.

Agentic AI is changing the way users get work done. Following the success of OpenClaw, the community is embracing new open source agentic frameworks. The latest is Hermes Agent, which crossed 140,000 GitHub stars in under three months.
Everyone is talking about Claude Code. With millions of weekly downloads and a rapidly expanding feature set, it has quietly become one of the most powerful tools in a developer's arsenal. But most people are barely scratching the surface.
A funny thing happened on the way to writing our book Architecture as Code—the entire industry shifted. Generally, we write books iteratively—starting with a seed of an idea, then developing it through workshops, conference presentations, online classes, and so on. That’s exactly what we did about a year ago with our Architecture as Code book. […]
