As models get smarter and more capable, the "harnesses" around them must also evolve. This "harness engineering" is an extension of context engineering, says LangChain co-founder and CEO Harrison Chase in a new VentureBeat Beyond the Pilot podcast episode. Whereas traditional AI harnesses have tended to constrain models from running in loops and calling tools, harnesses specifically built for AI agents allow them to interact more independently and effectively perform...

Как я в отпуске написал генератор магазинов для OpenCart и чуть не сошел с ума

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут… хотя какая разница. Важно другое: я программист, и у меня есть неприятная особенность — вместо того чтобы нормально отдыхать, я начинаю писать код. Обычно это заканчивается каким-нибудь полурабочим скриптом, который потом пылится на гитхабе. Но в этот раз получилось нечто большее. Возможно, даже полезное.Всё началось с того, что клиент попросил создать 50 поддоменов для своего интернет-магазина на OpenCart. Ну, знаете, эти мультимагазины: spb.akarius.ru, msk.akarius.ru, nsk.akarius Read more
