Developer Launches Spellbook of Skill, an Open-Source Coding Guide Library

·82 views

A developer has launched Spellbook of Skill, a curated collection of development tutorials and guides organized by category and difficulty level. The project is a companion to an earlier tool called Spellbook of Prompt, with the new site focusing on teaching the underlying skills behind effective AI prompting. Built using Astro with Starlight, the entire project was developed using OpenCode via OpenRouter running on DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813, without any manual scaffolding. Currently, the library covers content creation workflows, with additional categories such as DevOps, system design, and career growth listed as coming soon. The project is MIT licensed and open to community contributions, with clear guidelines available in the repository's CONTRIBUTING.md file.

AI Models Map San Francisco From Memory, With Mixed Accuracy

Researchers tested six AI chat models from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google by asking what lies at 41,526 coordinates across San Francisco. The models answered without maps or internet access, and each answer was checked against OpenStreetMap. The best models, run at high reasoning settings, labeled the city's water and park areas correctly about 86% of the time. Their results were close to one another and beat a baseline of 61% from simply guessing neither water nor park. Finer-grained tests in Crissy Field, the Marina and the Palace of Fine Arts showed the models could partly distinguish dense street grids from parkland, though small parks were often misidentified.

CVPR 2027 Submission Guide: Key Deadlines and New Rules

The CVPR 2027 conference has set three firm submission deadlines, all in Anywhere on Earth time, beginning with paper enrollment on November 10, 2026. Full paper submission is due November 16, 2026, with supplementary materials following on November 23, and organizers have stated no extensions will be granted. Two new rules apply this year: a limit on how many papers an author can co-author without an eligible reciprocal reviewer, and a single-paper cap for groups without prior accepted work at eligible venues, where ACL, EMNLP, and NAACL do not qualify. Submissions must also include an LLM Usage Statement disclosing any generative AI use, and omitting it can lead to desk rejection. Authors are capped at 25 papers each, and every author needs a complete OpenReview profile and enrollment to avoid rejection.

Slowing Audio to 0.8× Stretches an 8-Second Clip to 10 Seconds

A common mistake when changing audio speed is assuming a 0.8× setting shortens or lengthens the clip by the same percentage. Duration scales inversely with the speed multiplier, so an eight-second track slowed to 0.8× lasts 10 seconds, a 25% increase. The Creatune team tested this on November 4, 2026, using a synthetic WAV tone and a public speed changer. Their measurements covered exported file duration and format metadata, not listening quality or pitch preservation. The article gives the formula for percentage change and shows how to request a specific multiplier to hit a target length. It also recommends measuring the exported file rather than relying on the interface's displayed total.

New tool finds code by meaning, not keywords, using a free on-device index

A guide describes how grep fails when a developer doesn't know the exact term used in code, such as searching for a lockout feature named a cooldown or throttle. The osFoundry desktop app addresses this by converting code chunks into vectors using the free, open-source bge-m3 model running locally, so nothing is uploaded or charged. Its scan step previews what gets indexed and skips irrelevant folders, lockfiles, and large or binary files. Users can then ask questions in plain English, and the agent combines keyword and semantic search to return the relevant file and line range. The indexing is incremental, so editing a few functions only re-embeds those chunks.
