Fake News Detector: Building an AI-Powered Fact-Checking System App Screenshot Why Do We Need Fake News Detection? Have you ever come across news that felt a little too dramatic? You sense something is off but can’t pinpoint it. You try to verify it, but it takes too much time and effort. A few days later, you realize it was completely fake. That’s the danger of fake news. It wastes attention and time. It shapes public opinion and sometimes even influences policy or markets. So here’s the big question: Can AI help us fact-check news automatically? Yes — and that’s exactly …

## Introduction: The Problem with Static Papers You find a promising research paper. It describes a perfect method for your project. But then comes the reality: wrestling with complex codebases, dependency nightmares, and cryptic documentation. The excitement fades, replaced by frustration. This is the central bottleneck in modern science. Research papers are passive artifacts. They describe discoveries but require immense effort to use. The knowledge is trapped behind technical barriers. What if the paper could actively help you? What if you could simply ask it a question in plain English? Enter Paper2Agent, a groundbreaking framework from Stanford University that reimagines …
Introduction: When You Hit Enter and Realize Your AI Isn’t That Smart Do you remember the first time you dropped a 5,000-line Python project into an AI model? I was full of excitement, expecting the model to act like a senior engineer—untangling dependencies, fixing annoying bugs, maybe even suggesting a better architecture. Reality hit hard: by the time the model reached line 3,000, it had already forgotten half the functions, produced contradictory answers, and sometimes hallucinated classes that didn’t exist. That’s when it struck me: the size of the context window and the way reasoning is handled determine whether an …
How MIT Taught AI to Plan with 94% Accuracy: A Deep Dive into PDDL-Instruct Imagine asking a powerful AI like ChatGPT to devise a plan for building a piece of furniture. It might produce a list of steps that sound perfectly logical: “Attach leg A to panel B using screw C.” It looks right. It sounds right. But if you try to follow it, you might find that step 3 requires a tool you don’t have, or step 7 tells you to attach a part you already sealed away inside the structure in step 2. The plan is plausible-sounding nonsense. …
A 5-minute read for engineers who need 128 K tokens tonight, not next quarter. 1. The Scene: 2 A.M. and the Context-Length Wall Li, a Beijing-based ML engineer, just wanted his 671 B model to read a 100 k-token spec and answer one obscure question. By token 60 k the GPU fans sounded like jet engines; at 90 k the server threw an OOM and the latency graph looked like Everest. Sound familiar? Long-context is the new memory wall—and the bill is paid in both dollars and sleep. The next morning DeepSeek dropped an experimental image on Docker Hub: lmsysorg/sglang:dsv32 …

With Anthropic’s latest release of Claude Sonnet 4.5 and the accompanying Claude Code upgrades, this experience is …
Logics-Parsing: Breaking Boundaries in Complex Document Parsing – Why I’m Impressed by Alibaba’s Open-Source “All-Rounder” When faced with academic papers featuring multi-column layouts, mathematical formulas, and chemical structures, traditional OCR tools consistently fall short—until I encountered this 7B-parameter “compact powerhouse.” I still remember the last time I needed to parse a double-column academic paper. I had to launch three different tools in sequence: one for text recognition, another for tables, and a third specifically for mathematical formulas. The entire process felt like playing a technical version of “whack-a-mole”—just as I solved one problem, another popped up. That frustration persisted until …
Integrating MATLAB-Style Code in Python Using Octave and the oct2py Library Python and MATLAB Integration Introduction The integration of scientific computing platforms has become increasingly valuable in today’s data-driven research environment. Many engineers and researchers have extensive experience with MATLAB, a powerful numerical computing environment with its own programming language and ecosystem. However, Python has emerged as a dominant force in data science, machine learning, and scientific computing due to its extensive libraries and open-source nature. This creates a practical challenge: how can we leverage existing MATLAB expertise and code while taking advantage of Python’s rich ecosystem? The solution lies …
A plain-English walk-through of the September 2025 paper “Metacognitive Reuse: Turning Recurring LLM Reasoning Into Concise Behaviors”—no hype, no formulas, just facts you can use today. 1. The 3-Minute Preview Question One-sentence answer What problem is solved? Large models re-derive the same math tricks in every prompt, burning tokens and time. Do I need a PhD to follow? High-school algebra is enough; zero equations in this post. What can I actually do after reading? Build a self-growing “behavior handbook” and drop inference costs up to 46% without losing accuracy. 2. Why “Longer Chain-of-Thought” Has Hit a Wall Token inflation AIME-24 …
「TL;DR」 This guide breaks down an open-source Email Agent prototype that integrates IMAP synchronization, a local SQLite cache, a lightweight Bun backend with WebSocket streaming, and an LLM-driven agent that calls tools (e.g., search_emails) to retrieve and act on mailbox data. The design emphasizes low latency, local data control, clear tool interfaces, and a pragmatic path from prototype to production. Executive summary Modern knowledge workers need AI assistance for routine email tasks — triage, summarization, and drafting — but often cannot or will not send their entire mailbox to a third-party cloud service. The Email Agent prototype we analyze here …

1. What Exactly Is Ladder—and Why Should You Care? Ladder is an open-source, Go-based HTTP proxy that clones the core trick used by sites such as 1ft.io and 12ft.io: it dresses up as Googlebot, asks the target page for the “search-engine” version, strips the paywall markup, and hands you a clean article. You host it yourself, so nobody logs your reading list and no third-party limits your usage. Who this guide is for College (and above) reading level Zero tolerance for “marketing fluff” Comfortable copying commands into a terminal or Docker prompt What you will get A private proxy running …
“Here’s my passport photo—turn it into a 4-second Tokyo night-rain scene, 24 fps, no budget.” If that request sounds familiar, the engineering story below is worth frame-by-frame inspection. The Identity Problem No One Has Solved (Yet) Text-to-video models got stunningly good at motion, yet one stubborn artifact refuses to behave: a human face. DreamBooth fans fine-tune 10 GB weights—motion turns to PowerPoint. Frame-by-frame stylists melt GPUs and still twitch the chin. Copy-paste crews swap backgrounds, but the first head-turn shatters the illusion. Lynx’s take? Keep the giant frozen, clip on two tiny cheat-sheets. An ID-Adapter memorizes the五官 (facial features), a …
