If you are building a FiveM roleplay server, Discord Rich Presence is one of those small details that makes a big difference. It replaces the generic "Playing FiveM" status with your server name, logo, and player count. Every player on your server passively advertises your brand to their entire Discord friends list. The setup is straightforward but the implementation differs depending on your fram
The File Search tool in the Gemini API now supports multimodal retrieval by adding support for Gemini Embedding 2. This update allows images, such as charts, product photos, and diagrams, to be natively indexed and searched in the same store as your text-based documents. This post covers how to use the File Search tool end-to-end: creating a store, uploading documents and images, querying with gro
Hi everyone, my name is P Swyom Sanjog. Welcome back to my blog—I hope you’re all doing well. Today, I’m bringing a new topic: Virtual DOM. Let’s understand what the Virtual DOM is in simple terms. We’ll cover key questions like what it is, why it’s used, and how it works. So, let’s get started! Virtual Dom So, let’s break down the topic into “Virtual” and “DOM.” Virtual means something that exi
Your phone will connect to the strongest tower it hears. It does not ask for ID first. It assumes trust, and that assumption is the entire problem. I first noticed this in 2019 outside a security conference in Las Vegas. My test Android dropped from LTE to 2G for 47 seconds, then returned to normal. No user notification. The baseband logs showed a cipher downgrade to A5/0, a location area code tha
This technical post walks through the design and implementation of Secure Playground: a local web app that simulates prompt-injection attacks against large language models and demonstrates simple defenses. Provide a minimal, reproducible environment to test payloads and defensive strategies. Make it easy to add new providers and run mutation-based red-team experiments. Offer a leaderboard and scor
Decoupling Workloads: Strategies for Non-Blocking API Responses in Python Modern web applications demand instant feedback. Users expect immediate responses, and frustrating delays can quickly lead to abandonment. When an API endpoint performs computationally intensive or time-consuming operations directly within the request-response cycle, it creates a bottleneck that can cripple your backend sy

Hi everyone! I've been working on a personal project to create a desktop virtual assistant that doesn't rely on the cloud. I wanted something that felt like JARVIS but kept my data 100% private. Brain: It uses Ollama as the backend, so you can run models like Llama 3, Mistral, or Phi-3 locally. Interface: Built with PyQt6 featuring a "holographic" glassmorphism effect (transparent and sleek).
