In a throwback to MySpace-style internet drama, Shivon Zilis announced that she and the father of her four children, Elon Musk, had broken up on X. To do so, she quote-tweeted a post from "Big Tech Alert," an account that, among other things, monitors what accounts are following and unfollowing each other. That post noted […]

It's a tale as old as last week: OpenAI's new agent platform, called Dots, is full of cute little guys who can do your bidding. But unlike the ultra-approachable Meta Muse, Dots feel very much like using workplace software that happens to be able to order you a burrito - emphasis on work. OpenAI announced […]

With all the talk about how AI might one day kill us all, it's easy to forget that AI has already harmed some people psychologically. Circuit Breaker Labs has created "crash-test dummies" to solve that.

This week, the White House got nearly every major tech CEO in one room — Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk, and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei among them — to sign an AI safety pledge that President Donald Trump called “morally binding.” Trump also signed an executive order officially rebranding AI as “super intelligence,” and meanwhile, Meta and OpenAI are putting friendlier faces on their AI products, even as the biggest money […]

Apple says it will add new controls around macOS’s Full Disk Access permission, warning that increasingly capable AI agents make broad access to users’ files, messages, mail, and browsing history riskier.

The password file is named spaces in this filename . The shell splits unquoted arguments on whitespace, so the filename has to be quoted or escaped to be treated as one argument.

In a shell, unquoted spaces separate arguments — so ...

Adding Concurrency Cancellation to GitHub Actions Workflows to Save CI Minutes TL;DR: I added the concurrency feature with cancel-in-progress to the CI and E2E GitHub Actions workflows of the lavanderia-crm repo. This prevents overlapping runs on the same branch/PR, cutting down wasted minutes and keeping the pipeline fast. The Problem Our CI pipeline ( .github/workflows/ci.yml ) and the nightly E2E workflow ( .github/workflows/e2e-production.yml ) were being trigg...

Reducing Duplicate CI Runs with GitHub Actions Concurrency  cancel-in-progress TL;DR: I added a concurrency block with cancel-in-progress: true to the ci-e2e.yml workflow to automatically abort older runs on the same branch when a new push arrives. This change cuts down on wasted minutes and prevents flaky test artifacts caused by overlapping executions. The Problem Our tvview project runs an end‑to‑end test suite on every push and on a scheduled cron ( 35 6 * *...

Automatic Permit Expiration Alerts & AI Error Reporting in VS (NestJS + Next.js) TL;DR: I added a new priority‑actions endpoint that flags construction permits expiring in ≤30 days, wired it to the Next.js UI, hardened the CI hooks (husky + pre‑push) and wrapped AI‑driven services with Sentry. The changes tighten the product’s operational safety and give us real‑time visibility into AI failures. The Problem Our ventas module needed two things that were breaking the...

Hash indexes are a type of database index used to speed up lookups by key. They are commonly implemented using a hash table, which uses hash function to map keys to locations where their corresponding values or references can be found. I wrote another blog going into more depth about hash maps and how they work. You can check it out here . How hash indexes work? Imagine you have a database containing users and their email addresses. If we want to find a user by their email...

Over the past few months I've been building dontkyc.me , a directory of services — VPNs, email, hosting, exchanges, wallets, forums — that don't require ID verification to use. It's grown into something a bit more interesting than a plain list, so I wanted to write up how the two core pieces actually work, not just announce it. The problem I kept running into A service's marketing page looks fine, you sign up, and only then find out it wants a passport scan — sometimes after you...

Meta Muse, the personal AI agent Meta announced on September 8, had a bad Monday. Patrick Wardle disclosed a zero-day in the Muse Mac app that hands the account token to anyone who can run one terminal command, and developer Peter James asked Muse for its own filesystem and got a 6.8 GB zip of it. If you build AI agents, or let one onto your laptop, both findings are about decisions you will have to make too. TL;DR Any local app or terminal command on a Mac, with ...

The idea Word Search Battle started from one question: what if a word search were a race between two people instead of a solitary puzzle? So the letters went away. What is left is a pile of complete words and a simple deal — you pick a word for your opponent, and every second they spend looking for it is a second you spend filling your own grid. That is the entire game. It takes about fifteen seconds to explain and about two minutes to play. How it is built The site is a static Astro bui...
