Publishing to Medium Without APIs Using Chrome Extensions

·12 views

When publishing platforms deprecate their developer APIs, automated syndication pipelines break. Technical bloggers and content engineers writing in local Markdown editors or static site generators are forced to manually copy and paste articles, re-format code blocks, re-upload inline graphics, and re-enter canonical URLs. Existing automation workarounds often rely on headless browser runners like Puppeteer or Playwright operating inside continuous integration servers. These headless runners require storing plaintext user credentials or session cookies on remote machines, which frequently trig

Multimodal AI Breaks at the Tokenizer, Not the Model

TL;DR — The gap between a multimodal demo and a production system isn't model capability — it's the token economics of turning video and audio into sequences the transformer can read.

Treating modality ingestion as a retrieval problem, not a context-stuffing problem, is the fix most teams skip. Every multimodal demo follows the same script: drop in a short clip, ask a question about it, watch the model nail it. Then someone tries it on a forty-minu

Your Agent Said "Done". The Filesystem Disagrees.

"Task completed successfully." That's the most common lie in agent systems. Usually the agent isn't lying on purpose.
