|
Turn a Technical Book Into a Claude Skill That Loads Only What You Need.
|
|
|
book-to-skill is an open-source converter that turns a technical book or document into a structured skill for Claude Code and compatible agent environments. It supports formats including PDF, EPUB, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, plain text, RTF, and MOBI. The output includes a SKILL.md overview, a chapter-by-chapter directory, glossary, patterns and techniques reference, and a quick-reference cheatsheet. Instead of pushing an entire book into context, the agent can load the relevant chapter on demand while keeping the book's frameworks available during real work.
|
|
📌 Loading relevant sections on demand reduces token use and keeps unrelated material out of the working context.
|
|
⚡ It turns books from static references into reusable, task-aware knowledge systems for agents.

Own Search With Podcasts
Your competitors are fighting over the same keywords. The smartest brands are building the authority that search engines, AI platforms, and customers trust everywhere.
Every relevant podcast appearance can produce branded mentions, backlinks, transcripts, citations, clips, expert content, and third-party proof that keeps compounding across search and AI discovery.
PodPitch searches millions of podcasts, finds the shows that matter to your market, develops the angle, sends personalized pitches, and follows up automatically until your experts are booked.
Growth teams are already using podcast appearances to build distributed authority that cannot be manufactured by publishing another generic SEO article.
Start building searchable authority now, before your competitors own the conversations shaping your market.

🌍 OPENDREAMER · WORLD MODELS · OPEN SOURCE
|
|
OpenDreamer Makes a Reproduction of DeepMind's Dreamer4 Available to Everyone.
|
|
|
OpenDreamer is an open implementation of the Dreamer4 world-model pipeline, built in JAX and Flax NNX by researchers supported by Reactor. The release includes training code, configurations, stability and engineering lessons, plus a local rollout harness. Its pipeline combines a causal video tokenizer, an action-conditioned latent dynamics model, rollout generation, and FVD scoring.
|
|
📌 World models learn to predict how an environment changes after actions, a core capability for simulation and embodied AI.
|
|
⚡ Releasing implementation details and training lessons lowers the barrier for researchers building on frontier world-model ideas.

🚧 CHINA · ROAD SAFETY · ROBOTICS
|
|
These Robotic Traffic Cones Can Secure an Accident Scene Without Sending Workers Into Traffic.
|
|
|
Emergency teams in China are testing AI-powered traffic cones that deploy from a response vehicle, drive themselves into position, form a safety perimeter, and return once the incident is cleared. The units can be triggered remotely or operate autonomously, reducing the need for responders to walk into active traffic to place or retrieve cones. Reports describe a major reduction in the time needed to secure a roadway, although exact performance will depend on road conditions, deployment policies, and local operations.
|
|
📌 Automating the first safety perimeter protects both road users and emergency workers during high-risk incidents.
|
|
⚡ This is a simple but high-impact form of robotics focused on a narrow, measurable public-safety task.
