Want AI agents to work together? The Linux Foundation has a plan

zdnet.com Steven Vaughan-Nichols 2025-12-27 10:00:22

MR.Cole_Photographer/Getty With the rise of AI agents, AI programs that can perform tasks for you without being explicitly told how to carry out every individual step, a problem has arisen. It's an old one in tech circles: Interoperability. How do you get AI agents to work together? One answer is Cisco's AGNTCY (pronounced "agency") project. To prevent AI agency fragmentation, Cisco has donated the AGNTCY project to the Linux Foundation. The Thai project is backed by numerous industry heavywei

Coverage.py Regex Pragmas

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-27 10:30:47

Coverage.py uses regexes to define pragma syntax. This is surprisingly powerful. Coverage.py lets you indicate code to exclude from measurement by adding comments to your Python files. But coverage implements them differently than other similar tools. Rather than having fixed syntax for these comments, they are defined using regexes that you can change or add to. This has been surprisingly powerful. The basic behavior: coverage finds lines in your source files that match the regexes. These lin

Ditch the Hot Oven: The Ultimate Summer Cooking Hack Is Sitting on Your Counter

I love grilling as much as the next backyard warrior, but standing over open flames in 90-degree heat feels less like cooking and more like slow-roasting myself. And firing up the oven indoors? That just turns your kitchen into a sauna and your living room into a convection zone. Not to mention, using a gas range with the windows shut is basically inviting bad air to dinner. That's where the air fryer swoops in. These compact countertop dynamos crank out crispy food fast, without turning your h

25 Best Cheap Watches Under $1,000 (2025): Timex, Hamilton, and Seiko

wired.com Andy Boxall 2025-12-27 14:32:00

Whether an automatic or a quartz watch is the better buy is an age-old question watch nerds have argued about since the '70s when quartz first made a splash. The answer is actually simple—don’t let it worry you. The convenience of a quartz watch being always ready to go when you put it on may outweigh the pleasure of seeing the lovely smooth sweep of the second hand on an automatic. Below a certain price there will always be more quartz watches than automatics, but as automatic movements get mo

I sideloaded Galaxy Watch Ultra faces to my Galaxy Watch 7, and here’s why I’m keeping them

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I won’t lie — I haven’t touched my Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 in a while. I liked it when I reviewed it and thought it was worth buying (it’s since been replaced by the Galaxy Watch 8), but it had a few omissions that made me long for the Galaxy Watch Ultra, squircle design and all. One of those major misses was that Samsung saved a few of its best, most complicated watch faces for its top model, leaving me behind with others that were just fine. Now, though, the ta

I wasn’t expecting to see any deals on Switch 2 games for a while. Even though the console is currently much easier to find in stock, game discounts — especially ones on first-party Nintendo launch games — aren’t the norm. However, you can get 10 percent off on the likes of Mario Kart World, and the Switch 2 editions of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild.
