The first vibe-coded gun is here

Since gun-rights activist and alt-right-friendly agitator Cody Wilson made the first 3D-printed firearm 13 years ago, he's helped usher in a chaotic era of untraceable ghost guns. Now he's claiming another first: "the first AI-made gun." It's called the WASP. I stood about 20 feet away as Wilson and his sidekick clamped the WASP to […]

The Sony Xperia 10 VI won’t be getting a promised update to Android 17

When the midrange Sony Xperia 10 VI was announced over two years ago with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset and Android 14, Sony promised three major OS updates which would have included this year's Android 17 release. However, according to a notice posted to the company's UK support site, the Xperia 10 VI […]

This stretchy MagSafe storage pouch gives your phone a sizable trunk

There's a new storage upgrade option for smartphones compatible with wireless chargers and other magnetic accessories, but it won't help if you've run out of room for apps, pics, and videos. The MagSafe Flex Pouch looks like a magnetic wallet for pairing a small stack of credit cards to your phone, but its storage capacity […]

Meta’s new terms may allow it to train AI on news sites for free

Meta's new terms appear to give it permission to crawl and scrape websites "associated" with the businesses that use its platforms - including online publishers, according to a report from Nieman Lab. The new terms, which go into effect on October 30th, say Meta can use this outside content to "develop, improve, research," and "train" […]

The incredible flying Tesla Roadster is just for show

Last night, Elon Musk gave the people what they want: a car driving vertically up a multi-story ramp, launching off the edge, executing a mid-air "kickflip" over a lineup of Teslas, and landing via cold-gas thrusters. That's what the people want, right? "We were promised flying cars," sure, but isn't the operative word in that […]

Inflation came back. The market yawned.

September CPI: 3.7% year over year, 0.6% in a single month. Gasoline did most of the damage, up 9.1% in September and 34% on the year. Then PPI followed: up 1.3% on the month, 6.3% on the year, the hottest wholesale print since March 2022. The pipeline is full, and it points one direction. This is now 67 straight months of US inflation above the Fed's 2% target. The last sub-2% reading was in 2021. A dollar kept under the mattress for those five years buys about 22% less today. That is the qu...

57 Seconds, 1,368 Frames, and the Difference Between Generating and Directing

These articles come from lessons learned while building Eterna Clarity and the operating system I use to run it. Making the launch commercial for Xyterna meant balancing two different jobs. I wanted people to understand what the product actually does, but I also wanted to make something they would enjoy watching. In less than a minute, too much explanation could turn it into a tutorial. Too many impressive shots, and the product could get lost in its own commercial. I had AI-assisted visu...

Your AI Assistant Ships UI 10x Faster — Add Visual Regression to GitHub Actions in 5 Minutes

The problem: your agent ships UI faster than you can review it AI coding assistants changed the math of frontend work. A landing page tweak that used to take an afternoon now takes a prompt. But every UI change your agent ships carries the same five visual bugs: layout shifts, truncated text, overlapping elements, broken responsive breakpoints, theme regressions. The CSS compiles. It looks fine on localhost. Then staging shows the damage. Agent skills like ProofShot and pursr gave your ag...

How to track brand mentions in Perplexity

To track mentions in Perplexity, write a fixed set of the questions your buyers ask, run each one several times, and log two things per run: whether your brand is named in the answer, and which source URLs Perplexity cites. Repeat weekly. That is the whole method. The rest of this guide is how to do it without fooling yourself. If you would rather not do it by hand, a Perplexity visibility tracker runs the same process on a schedule. Why Perplexity is the easiest engine to audit...

GPT-6.1 Sol vs GPT-6 Luna: Pick by Judgment or Volume

OpenAI's model lineup changed twice in September 2026, and the result confuses even regular users. Here's the simple version: pick Sol when judgment matters, pick Luna when volume matters. The short answer GPT-6.1 Sol is the near-flagship workhorse: complex coding, multi-step agents, documents, computer use, research — at one-fifth of Astra's API price. GPT-6 Luna is the efficiency model: classification, extraction, routing, summaries, bulk transforms — at one-twentieth of...
