Elon Musk settles lawsuits over $1 million voter giveaway

In 2024, Elon Musk promised to give away $1 million a day to a randomly selected registered voter in a swing state. That prompted legal challenges, raised questions about its legality, and drew lawsuits from two Arizona residents claiming the lottery was a fraud. Musk has now agreed to settle the two lawsuits filed in […]

Mercedes-AMG’s first ground-up SUV is a 1,150hp electric beast

Earlier this year, Mercedes' AMG performance brand grabbed our attention with the GT four-door coupe, a souped-up sports sedan with three axial flux motors delivering over 1,150 horsepower. Well, now meet its beefier cousin, the 2028 Mercedes-AMG GT SUV, an equally powerful, ultra-fast-charging electric people-hauler. The AMG GT SUV (say that five times fast) marks […]

TikTok bans Musk documentary account

Just ahead of the wider release of Alex Gibney's Musk documentary, TikTok has banned the film's social media account from its platform. TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film's distributor, Bleecker Street, was informed Friday afternoon that a "permanent suspension" was imminent. Bleecker Street has […]

Solid Glass Adds an AI UI Theme to shadcn/ui Projects

Solid Glass is a public GitHub project that packages a glass-inspired design system for AI applications as a stylesheet intended to work with shadcn/ui. For developers building chat and agent interfaces, its practical proposition is narrow but useful: the stylesheet targets the data-slot attributes and classes that existing shadcn/ui components already carry, so adoption is presented as a theme integration rather than a component rewrite. Source: Solid Glass repository A theme la...

E-commerce Product Search: 5 Query Bounds for Grounded Semantic Retrieval

In e-commerce product search, semantic retrieval starts with a constraint: a result is only as trustworthy as the catalog revision, tenant boundary, and source identifier that travel with it. An unbounded nearest-neighbor call can return plausible product text, but it can't explain why an unavailable SKU appeared twice. Short answer: use a staged retrieval design with explicit collections, bounded queries, and source context that can be traced back to the exact e-commerce document. That ch...

Flutter vs. React + Capacitor in 2026: Which Stack Saves More Time & Budget for Your Business App?

If you are a founder or business owner planning to build a cross-platform mobile app for iOS and Android in 2026, you will immediately face a critical technical decision: Should we build it in Flutter, or use a Web-to-Mobile stack like React + Capacitor? Pick the wrong stack for your specific use case, and you can easily add 4 to 6 extra weeks to your development timeline. At VanzaLabs, we don't treat technology choices like a religion. In fact, we recently built and shipped two production...

What Artificial Intelligence Actually Is

TL;DR: Artificial intelligence is a capability of computational systems, software that takes in information about its surroundings and works toward the goals it was given; the working definition promises no copy of a person, and the field’s record never delivered one. The field opened with a 1955 bet that behavior described precisely enough can be simulated; John McCarthy named it in that same proposal. The build pipeline runs one way: an algorithm trains on a dataset, training produces ...

Segundo intercalar y hora intercalar: el reloj cambia

Un segundo desaparece del reloj mundial. Representantes de 69 países votaron el 15 de octubre en Versalles, Francia, para abolir el segundo intercalar y permitir que la hora oficial se separe de la rotación de la Tierra hasta por una hora completa antes de cualquier corrección: nace así la hora intercalar, un ajuste que nadie vivo tendrá que aplicar. La decisión la tomó la Conferencia General de Pesas y Medidas, el órgano que gobierna los patrones mundiales de medida, y entra en vigor el 20 ...

Cross-Cultural Communication: lesson from The Culture Map

AI-generated image for illustrative purposes In this post, I'll try to break down an example described in the book "The Culture Map: Breaking Through the Invisible Boundaries of Global Business" by Erin Meyer. The author begins her book with a situation that we face almost every day. She had to prepare a senior executive from a major automotive company for cultural adaptation before his upcoming relocation to Wuhan, China, for work. To do this, she arranged for a Chinese cultural exper...

NinjaTrader 8 Calculate: On Bar Close vs On Each Tick

A signal you were watching live is gone when you sit down at the chart the next morning. Or it happens the other way around: yesterday's chart is covered in clean marks, and today the same indicator paints something that shows up mid-bar, wobbles for a while, and settles somewhere else. The usual conclusion is that the indicator is broken, or that it repaints. Usually it is neither. It is one dropdown, plus a piece of NinjaTrader behavior that the dropdown never mentions. Where th...

My site publishes a blog post a day while I sleep — no cron, no CMS (week 6 build-log)

Part 3 of building PipAtlas in public. Part 2 covered the first five weeks of real search data. This week I wired the thing every content site eventually needs: a blog that publishes on schedule, generates its own illustrations, and heals its own broken links — running inside a single Node process, no cron jobs, no CMS, no AI slop. The constraint that shaped everything The blog had one job: one post per day, from a queue of markdown drafts, published to static HTML with a regenerated index a...

We Did It: Our First Client Project Is Live

We did it. TTMCHANGE just delivered our first project for a real client, Tacliin Online. A few months ago this was just an idea between a few young Somali developers in Mogadishu. We had skills, late nights, and a lot of ambition, but no clients. Today a business is actually using something we built. Honestly, that feeling is hard to describe. Getting that first yes was the hardest part. A lot of businesses here are still unsure about trusting a young local tech team, and we understand why...

Turning a 3D configurator into a real quote - price and lead time, not just a pretty model

Most Three.js configurator demos stop at the visual. The customer rotates a nice model, picks a color, and that is the whole show. But the manufacturers I build for do not sell models. They sell a product with a price and a delivery date. The question that closes a sale is not "does it look good". It is "what does THIS configuration cost, and when do I get it". That second half is the part nobody puts in a demo. Here is how I build it. The configuration is the only thing that matt...

Meta removes scraping language from commercial terms after backlash

Meta just quietly removed language from its commercial terms that would have given it a broad license to scrape content — including from news sites — to train its AI models. If you build anything that relies on Meta's AI infrastructure or that publishes content on the open web, this change matters. Here's what happened and why you should care. What they removed Meta's commercial terms previously included this phrase: "Meta may use any content from such domains, web pages, or U...

Dissecting Open WebUI's FastAPI Architecture: SSE Streaming and Multi-Provider Routing

Dissecting Open WebUI's FastAPI Architecture: SSE Streaming and Multi-Provider Routing When evaluating Open WebUI ( https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui ) for a self-hosted AI gateway project, I needed to understand how it handles concurrent LLM provider connections and server-sent event (SSE) streaming without blocking the event loop. Here's what I found digging through the codebase and running integration tests. The Multi-Provider Abstraction Layer Open WebUI acts a...

Why the Creators of AI Do Not Understand Their Own Creations

Just citations. Dario Amodei (CEO of Anthropic, 2025): "People outside the field are often surprised and alarmed to learn that we do not understand how our own AI creations work. This lack of understanding is essentially unprecedented in the history of technology." MIT Technology Review: "Despite all the stunning success, nobody really knows how — or why — it works." Yoshua Bengio (Turing Award laureate, 2024): "If we continue as before, we are driving against the wall. Or at least we are d...
