It outlines the activity timeline, including roughly 13,000 edits to a dormant German developer wiki, moderator cleanup, backup-page creation, and the eventual drop in activity. ### Source excerpt Here we go again... Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board by Sydney Von Arx, Cormac Slade Byrd, Spencer Kitts, and Thomas Larsen describes the latest accidental cyberattack by models being trained by OpenAI. This time it was agents engaged in some sort of web research benchmark, so they had (supposedly) controlled access to the Web. The agents figured out they could update public Wikis and spent weeks exchanging thousands of messages with each other to collaborate on the benchmark. This story only broke a few hours ago. There are already hints that this affects many other wikis that may not have been found yet. (One of the Wikis on that list belongs to ludism.org. For a delightfully surreal moment I thought that a Ludite organization might have a swarm of agents defacing their space, but it turns out Ludism is "philosophy as it applies to games and gaming".) The research team also published the data they collected during their investigation. I've converted that into a 68MB SQLite database, which you can download from here, or explore in Datasette Lite (68.3MB page load), or sign in with GitHub to agent.datasette.io and browse or ask questions of it using Datasette Agent. So what happened? The report is pretty comprehensive. Here are the key moments in the timeline: May 11: Agents post "test link" edits on the UseModWiki Sandbox page. May 24: Agents start posting link dumps to DSEWiki, a dormant German developer wiki. June 2: A human moderator notices and cleans up the spam. June 16: Activity on the wiki explodes: agents make ~13,000 edits over the next week. June 19: The agents notice that a moderator has been deleting pages in alphabetical order, and start creating ZZZ prefixed backup copies - one of them posts NOTICE: wiki cleanup/deletion sweep appears active alphabetically as of external 14:04 UTC. If this page vanishes, try [[ZZZDataUSAConstructionWageLive]]. June 22: Agent activity drops to zero, presumably because OpenAI shut them down.

It presents OpenTaberna's Wiki.js documentation workflow as an example. ### Source excerpt Wiki.js Git storage for docs as code: publish reviewed Markdown and fail a pull request when src/ changes without docs/, checked with git diff. ## Knowledge as Code: The Memory File Just Got a Spec DevFeed: [Knowledge as Code: The Memory File Just Got a Spec]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Engin Diri Published: 2026-07-14T00:00:00Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [Pulumi]() Topics: [Wiki](), [Markdown](), [Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)](), [context window]() Tags: [agent](), [ai](), [ai-agents](), [google](), [google-cloud](), [knowledge-base](), [memory](), [perspectives](), [platform-engineering](), [rag](), [schema]() ### AI overview The article argues that agent memory files need a shared format so knowledge bases can be exchanged between people and agents. It describes Google's LLM wiki pattern as an approach using interlinked Markdown pages, summaries, change logs, and entity pages, contrasting it with repeatedly retrieving and re-deriving information from raw documents. ### Source excerpt Five weeks ago I wrote that the least glamorous piece of an agent loop is also the one that decides whether it compounds: memory. A markdown file outside the context window that holds what is done, what is next, and what was learned, because the model forgets all of it between runs. Write the memory file before the loop. What I left open, because there was nothing to point at, was the format. My memory file looked nothing like yours, and neither of our agents could read the other's. Three days after that post went live, Google shipped an answer. The pattern everyone copied Andrej Karpathy published a gist in April he called the LLM wiki, and it collected thousands of stars and forks. It's meant to be pasted straight into a coding agent. Instead of indexing your documents for RAG and re-deriving answers from raw text on every query, the agent builds a wiki and keeps it current: interlinked markdown pages, an index.md with a one-line summary per page, a log.md recording every change, entity pages that grow as sources come in. Drop in a meeting transcript and the agent reads it, updates a dozen existing pages, fixes the cross-references, and appends to the log in one pass. It took off for the same reason wikis usually die. A knowledge base is valuable in exact proportion to the bookkeeping nobody wants to do: summarizing, linking, reconciling contradictions, pruning stale claims. Karpathy's line, which Google now quotes back in its own announcement, is that LLMs "don't get bored, don't forget to update a cross-reference, and can touch 15 files in one pass." The human curates sources and asks questions. The agent does the janitorial work that made every previous wiki rot. A wiki only your agent can read Then everyone built one, and every one is a dialect. Mine links related pages in the frontmatter; yours links them at the bottom of the body. Mine has a tags field; yours calls it categories. None of this matters while the wiki serves one person, because the schema lives ## Building an LLM Wiki as Persistent Memory for AI Agents DevFeed: [Building an LLM Wiki as Persistent Memory for AI Agents]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Paul Iusztin Published: 2026-07-07T05:01:21Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Decoding ML]() Topics: [Wiki](), [Large Language Model](), [Artificial Intelligence](), [AI research agents]() Tags: [agent](), [agents](), [ai](), [ai-agents](), [article](), [claude-code](), [codex](), [context](), [google](), [llm](), [memory](), [notes]() ### AI overview This tutorial describes building an AI Research OS that turns notes and web research into a queryable, maintainable LLM wiki.

It presents Notion as well suited to personal knowledge management, company wikis, knowledge bases, and simple processes, while describing Fibery as better suited to complex processes with deeper hierarchies, relations, permissions, formulas, automations, and advanced visualizations. ### Source excerpt Disclaimer: This post is written by Fibery Founder, so it is inevitably biased (but I tried to be as objective as I can). You came here to find out how 🐉 Fibery is better than 🐼 Notion. Well, it is not. Fibery is different. Notion is a great tool and it works exceptionally well for some use cases, but it fails for others. Let me just quickly answer your main question and then feel free to dig into details later. 🐼 What Notion is great for? Personal knowledge management (PKM) Company wiki and knowledge base Simple (not complex) processes: basic project management, basic CRM, basic candidates tracking, etc. "I've been using Notion for the past few years. It's undoubtedly the most flexible note-taking app on the market. Offering both simplicity and complexity, it caters to a variety of users. Its recent integration with AI and automation further elevates the note-taking experience. Imagine having your own personal Wikipedia, comprehensive databases, calendar, tasks, calculator, and more, all within a single app. This truly makes Notion the best of the best." -- Notion user🐉 What Fibery is great for? Company wiki and knowledge base Complex processes: product management, feedback management, portfolio management, OKR, HR, Vacation tracking, etc. "We use Fibery to manage all our startup processes, from customer discovery over HR until CRM, Project management and documentation. We could replace 27 of our 36 internal tools: Fibery is a rocket for managing all sorts of processes and lets us the freedom to create our own templates and spaces aka processes, if needed." -- Fibery user It can be illustrated like this: Notion and Fibery areas of best applicability Fibery will help you when Notion is just not enough. When you need deep hierarchies and relations, advanced access and permissions control, formulas and automations across these hierarchies, visualization of information in hierarchical timelines and table views, complex charts. In general, Fibery is harder to "get" and ma ## Ethereum Protocol Studies 2025 DevFeed: [Ethereum Protocol Studies 2025]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Josh Davis; Mario Havel Published: 2025-02-05T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Ethereum Foundation Blog]() Topics: [Ethereum](), [Protocol (disambiguation)](), [Learning](), [Wiki](), [Documentation](), [Open Source](), [client]() Tags: [2025](), [community](), [documentation](), [ethereum](), [learning](), [onboarding](), [open-source](), [program](), [protocol](), [research](), [research-development]() ### AI overview Ethereum Protocol Studies is returning in 2025 with a structured program to help participants learn Ethereum's core protocol.

Given that Mobian integrates much of the ecosystem not developed by us, this report could reiterate many of the things being said somewhere else. Monthly dev meeting Despite being located all over the world (really!), we manage to meet in person once a month. Well, ok, "meet in person" means we conduct a jitsi video call. It is fun seeing all these sleepy faces where half of the people would like to go to bed already, while others wished they could have remained in bed longer. The TL;DR: we will attempt to move over more repositories from gitlab to salsa.debian.org (given gitlabs changes to the CI allowance we get, and in an attempt to align ourselves closer to Debian). In a similar move, the developer's wiki (NOT the user wiki) moves over to the Debian wiki. pondering if systemd-repart and systemd-growfs can maybe replace "growroot" We really should be opening a user-contrib section or something where contributed ports and kernels can live, e.g. for the Nexus 5. Planning stage. OnePlus 6 / Pocophone F1 Audio was broken due to a missing config option on 5.17 kernels, and was fixed by a subsequent update. Thanks to everyone who reported this issue and provided the information allowing us to fix it. Universal Images We have a universal mobian image that boots on the original Pinephone and the Pinephone Pro, however, there are still some bugs to iron out and kernel configs to be adapted. But overall, this looks promising. However, this will require some tool that can adapt configuration settings at runtime, based on the device it is currently running on. Tow-boot We were one of the earliest distributions to move over to tow-boot, and that worked out nearly well. However, there is a little catch: There is no tow-boot for the PineTab yet. So all images post-March 27, will not be able to install a U-boot if you have non installed yet.

The update addresses GDPR compliance, simplifies the layout, adds links to community resources, and introduces alerts for thread responses, quotes, ratings, and subscribed threads. ### Source excerpt The forum update is scheduled to go live at the end of May (likely over the weekend May 25-26th). You can expect the forum to be down for a couple of hours as work is being carried out. We hope that the process will be relatively painless, but if unexpected issues arise then this will extend the downtime. The forum upgrade is a part of our ongoing process of improving PINE64 services, which you can expect to carry over to the month of June with future updates to the Wiki and the chats. Updating the forum is something that has been on our bucket list for a long time, but there have always been multiple other more pressing things that have taken priority. Frankly speaking, not much though has been given to the state of the forum, its structure and usability until earlier this year. The server move this month has given us the opportunity to update, change and most importantly improve all the PINE64 community services; the webpage was the first to receive an update and now its the forum's turn for a make-over. GDPR Compliance The current forum is in need of more than quality-of-life improvements - more specifically, we need to make the forum complient with regulation (GDPR). On your first login you will be presented with the privacy policy, which you need to accept before proceeding to using the forum services as per usual. Scroll to the bottom of the policy and click accept. Accepting the privacy policy (identical to the one on this website) is required for both new and existing members and applies to everyone, including moderators and developers. New Look and Feel The general layout of the forum has been simplified and designed to expose the bits and pieces that regular and new users access frequently. The side tab has quick access to the PINE64 chats - the Discord and IRC Webchat for the time being- while the top bar features links to the Wiki, this News blog, Forum Portal as well as other relevant information.

The article discusses the author's early experience, motivations for choosing Arch Linux, and initial customization of the desktop. ### Source excerpt I have been a long time i3 window manager user. But not really. My old Windows 10 based setup involved doing all my console work in an Ubuntu VM running i3. However, the lion's share of the non console work was still done in Windows, including browsing and more. For multiple years now I only partially experienced i3, it showed. My i3 setup was almost vanilla. My move to Arch Linux changed everything. This move completely shifted the way I think about my relationship with my desktop environment. Previously, my relationship with Windows was very simplistic. Windows works the way it works, I simply adapted to that. Sometimes I learned a new shortcut, but the majority of my Windows day-to-day involved dragging windows around, reaching Firefox window and tab saturation, closing windows with the mouse and so on. I am not a great example of a Windows ninja some users go down a far more custom path. I do feel I am pretty typical though of a developer using Windows or Mac. I was given a menu, I learned a tiny bit of it, then I simply threw away the menu and reached for the mouse. In this blog post I would like to talk about what my 3.5 week adventure has looked like and where I am today! Opening moves When I moved to Linux I did not know much of the current state of Linux on the desktop but I did know 2 things: I would be using Arch Linux I would be using the i3 tiling window manager I opted for Arch cause I love not having to worry about upgrading my system every 6-12 months to another major release, I think pacman and the package library on Arch is amazing, if I ever am missing tiny bits from the official library it is trivial for me to just grab a package from the very comprehensive AUR. I also think the documentation in the Arch wiki is fantastic and it helped me enormously. I opted for i3 cause I wanted to fully experience the window manager, not treat it as a glorified tmux like I was for years.

The simplicity helped, especially if you came from the Java, XML, Enterprise world. It was also marketed incredibly well. But that's not everything. A lot of Rails' success in the startup world came from a simple fact: The problems businesses have aren't that unique. Rails was great at creating CRUD sites, while remaining flexible. And that's really all a ton of businesses need. Especially at the beginning. But this isn't just true for businesses. A lot of the problems we face as software developers don't change. Sure, our solutions evolve. They cycle. We get better. But the same solutions discovered by the last generation of developers can still help us today. So, do you want to know the answers to the problems you'll face in the future? The best thing you can do is look to the past. Look to the past On his website, Martin Fowler has an unbelievable collection of good solutions to common problems. Have you been hearing devs talk about Event Sourcing? He wrote the definitive article on it 10 years ago. Chasing performance and reliability problems with your new REST API or Service-Oriented Architecture? It's his first law of distributed objects, from close to 15 years ago. Avdi Grimm told me that "If you want to lead the technology curve, start investigating whatever Martin Fowler was writing about a decade ago." That's totally true. The time you spend reading through the patterns on his website will be a great investment in your programming future. And that's not even mentioning the refactoring patterns. Going further, just about any book or article written by the authors of the Agile Manifesto is worth reading - 15 years ago, they were working through the same software architecture problems we run into today. You can find a lot of their discussions on the C2 Wiki. The debates we have about when TDD makes the most sense? They're all there. And they've been there. The wiki has been around for a while, and it's still a fant ## Fuzzy string matching + simplest possible spellchecking + hunting for typos and misspellings in Wikipedia DevFeed: [Fuzzy string matching + simplest possible spellchecking + hunting for typos and misspellings in Wikipedia]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2015-07-22T22:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Dennis Yurichev]() Topics: [Algorithms](), [Code](), [Programming](), [Python](), [Wiki](), [Linux]() Tags: [algorithms](), [article](), [code](), [linux](), [opensource](), [python](), [wikipedia](), [xml]() ### AI overview This tutorial explains fuzzy string matching through Levenshtein distance, which counts insertions, deletions, and replacements needed to transform one string into another.

It describes GitHub pull requests and compare view for asynchronous code discussion, Hipchat rooms for separating communication by purpose, Cisco Jabber for video calls and desktop sharing, and a Confluence wiki for organizing the team backlog. The author explicitly states that the list is not a recommended set of tools. ### Source excerpt I recently wrote about my experiences working on a remote team. Within that blog entry you can find a more verbose version of the following text: Communication is what I consider to be the hardest part of remote work. I haven't found an easy, general solution. A few teammates prefer video chat, others despise it. A few teammates like the wiki as a backlog, a few haven't ever edited the wiki. Some prefer strict usage of email/chat/phone for async-unimportant/async-important/sync-urgent, others tend to use one of those 3 for all communication. As you can tell, we have several different communication tools. When writing, I generally prefer to include concrete examples. This blog entry will list each tool referenced above. However, I cannot emphasize enough that: this list is a snapshot of what we're using, not a recommended set of tools. app: Github usage: We use many of the features of Github; however, the two features that help facilitate remote work are (a) pull requests with inline comments and (b) compare. A pull request with inline comments has (thus far) been the most productive way to asynchronously discuss specific pieces of code. Almost all non-trivial commits will eventually end up in a pull request that's reviewed by at least one other team member. We've found compare view to be the best solution for distilling changes for a teammate with limited context. app: Hipchat usage: We have 3 hipchat rooms: work, social, support. It should be pretty obvious what we use each room for. The primary driver for splitting the 3 is for keeping noise down. Most team members look at chat history for work and support, reading anything that happened between now and the last time they were logged in. Social tends to be more verbose, often off-topic, and never required reading for keeping up with what the team is up to. app: Cisco Jabber usage: Within the team, we primarily use Cisco Jabber for video calls; however Cisco Jabber is also a great way for people within DRW offices [Next page]()
