I built a referral leaderboard that ignores page views. Here's the credit model.

Most referral leaderboards count the wrong thing. They count clicks or visits, and the moment a visit is worth something, somebody points a traffic tool at it and the board is over.

  • ViralRefer's referral leaderboard ignores page views, countering manipulable clicks.
  • Users earn credits by friends performing the same action, not just viewing the link.
  • The system is fair, with 26 language variants and Cloudflare Pages hosting.

  • Git worktrees enable multiple working directories within a single repository for agent tasks.
  • Review agent changes with git diff before merging and removing the worktree directory.

왜 소스 인식 검증이 중요한가 LLM 에이전트가 여러 검색·데이터베이스 도구를 호출해 답변을 만들면, "사실 여부"만 검증하는 기존 방법으로는 충분하지 않다. 답변이 어느 소스에서 온지를 잘못 연결하면, 의료 기록이나 고객 계정처럼 민감한 데이터에서 큰 위험이 된다.

  • ProvenanceGuard verifies information sources for LLM agents
  • Developed by Hugging Face to prevent risks with sensitive data
  • Requires five steps: claim division, source matching, support checking
