Disclosure first: Last Word is my own project. I am posting it here for feedback, not as a neutral recommendation. The idea Last Word is a small experiment: a public page that always plays exactly one voice message, up to 45 seconds long. Anyone can listen, no account needed. To take the spot you pay. On the main "World" page the first message costs $1, and every replacement doubles the price: $1, $2, $4, $8... Your message stays featured until somebody pays to replace ...

Firefox Multi-Account Containers are one of the browser's most powerful privacy features. Most users know the basics — here's what you can do with them beyond the defaults. Quick Refresher Multi-Account Containers isolate websites into separate "containers." Each container has its own cookies, localStorage, IndexedDB, and cache. A site in Container A can't see cookies from Container B. Think of each container as a separate browser profile, but all within the same Firefox windo...

Since August, Claude Code sessions can talk to each other. The feature is called cross-session messaging and arrived in v2.1.224: a session finds your other sessions with ListAgents and sends one of them a message with SendMessage . What travels is only the text Claude writes for the other session, never the conversation history or files. I've been using it to build rind-ui, a headless UI component library, with two sessions that have different jobs. One is the PM. The other is the engin...

Firefox for Android is a full-featured browser with one key differentiator: it supports extensions. Here's how to get the most out of it. Extensions on Firefox Android Unlike Chrome/Chromium-based Android browsers, Firefox runs real desktop extensions on Android (as of Firefox 79+ with the rebuilt Fenix engine). To install extensions: tap the three-dot menu → Add-ons → Browse all Firefox extensions. Key extensions that work on Android: uBlock Origin — The full des...

You have 87 tabs open. Three of them matter right now. The rest are "I'll read this later" tabs that have been open for two weeks. Sound familiar? Let's fix this. Why Tab Hoarding Happens It's a productivity psychology thing. Closing a tab feels like losing information. Opening a tab feels like handling it. So tabs accumulate — links you'll read, reference pages, half-finished research, "maybe later" articles. The actual cost: mental overhead. Every open tab is a small remi...

Part of my job is running access reviews. Human accounts are the easy part: there is an HR system, a manager, a leaver process. The hard part has always been the service accounts, and AI agents have made that part bigger. An agent does not act with its own authority. It acts with whatever identity it was given. In practice that is an Entra app registration or service principal, a managed identity, an AWS IAM role or an access key, a GitHub App installation or a deploy key. These are the servi...

Open text-to-speech models have become small and fast enough to run anywhere. Piper voices run faster than real time on a laptop CPU. But when we built the text-to-speech tool on Loudness.ai, three problems stood between "it runs" and "it sounds right". loudness-tts is what we built to solve them, and it is free and open source. 1. Which voice? Piper has more than 170 voice files, some with hundreds of speakers. Their quality varies a lot, and many are licensed for non-commercial...

The automaker unveiled its next luxury sports car at an event in Texas. It has thrusters on it that can send it airborne.

Elon Musk promised a flying car. And the Tesla Roadster did exactly that. Tesla demonstrated its next-generation Roadster at an event in Waco, Texas, where the electric supercar drove upside down, briefly flew, and accelerated to 60mph in under a second. It was an impressive demonstration of a car that likely will come with some […]

The new car used thrusters to leap over a Cybercab, Cybertruck, Tesla Semi, Model Y, and Model 3 at a demo in Texas.

Earlier this week I counted who ranks for "content marketing agency" (seven of nine page-one results were listicles and directories — post here ). That post's comment thread left me with a next question: does a newer category term behave differently? Short answer from this morning's pull: similar share, deeper problem. For "AI marketing agency" (US results, live SERP data), page one holds eight results. Two are agency sites — Keenfolks and The Agency. The other six: two "top AI marke...

A vision model that performs well in a demo has solved one part of the problem. Lê Thái Sơn, Project Manager at Solomon Technology Corp., calls the rest "industrial AI engineering," and he says it is the major difference between that field and AI research. He has worked for ten years on AI vision and robotics for factory automation. His talk in the episode AI-Powered Robotics: How Physical AI & Embodied AI Will Transform How We Live and Work contains no code, framework names or benchmarks...

Pydantic + Type Hints: FastAPI’s Secret Weapon 🚀 Ever wondered how FastAPI validates incoming data and generates API documentation almost automatically? The secret lies in two powerful tools: Python Type Hints and Pydantic. 1. Pydantic: Validate Data Without the Headache Imagine receiving user data where an ID arrives as a string instead of an integer. Pydantic can convert compatible values and validate them using a model. from pydantic import BaseModel ...

TL;DR: Sun, planet and ring gears explained simply, plus gear ratios, real uses and a 2,000-year story from the Antikythera Mechanism to 3D printing. An Engineering Analysis of Planetary Gear Systems from Antiquity to High-Performance Additive Manufacturing The architecture of modern motion control is fundamentally defined by the planetary gear set, a mechanism that started from the sophisticated analogue computing of the Hellenistic era to the high-torque, energy-dense drivet...

MiniMin is a small self-hosted panel for modded Minecraft servers. Spin up a server in Docker in a couple of clicks, hit "share client build", your friend pastes one link into MiniMin Sync and gets a ready Prism Launcher instance with auto-updates. No Discord zips, no version drift. If this resonates — clone the repos, run it, tell me what breaks first. That's the most useful feedback right now. Panel: https://github.com/quonaro/minimin Sync: https://github.com/quonaro/minimin-sy...

Google spent the last two weeks telling developers that Gemini 4 Argon is the most capable model it has ever shipped. The charts are everywhere: bars where Argon edges past Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra, a price tag of two dollars per million input tokens, and a first-place finish on a public arena leaderboard. But the benchmark tables making the rounds were measured at a setting most subscribers will never touch, and that headline price has an expiry date. Here is what the marketing slides le...

Disclosure: I co-founded Mitosis Labs, which runs Private SuperIntelligence. If you are the technical person in a family office who gets handed the AI decision, you are not choosing a model. You are choosing an operating model. ChatGPT Enterprise is a hosted workspace that your administrators configure and govern. Private SuperIntelligence is a deployment that Mitosis Labs builds for one family and runs for it, from the hardware to the choice of model provider to where the data is stored, de...

Qwen-Image-2.1 combines text-to-image generation, image editing, multilingual typography, native 2K output, and RGBA transparency in one model. We wanted to answer a practical question for researchers considering a 96 GB workstation-class GPU: what quality and speed can one NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition actually deliver? On September 24, 2026, we ran 15 fixed-seed prompts through the official Diffusers pipeline. The set covered English and bilingual typography, portrait and p...
