I keep a list of surfaces whose numbers I could not read, with a short reason written next to each one. Discourse gives you nothing per post. The comments API has no reaction field. Once a line like that is written down it stops looking like a hypothesis, and nothing in my process ever reopened one. This week I re-probed four of them and three turned out to be readable. Discourse was the embarrassing one, because the data is sitting behind a public URL: GET https://<instance>/t...

A deprecated server with 475,790 downloads a month @modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres last shipped a version on 4 December 2024 . It is marked deprecated on npm — the registry itself tells you the package is no longer supported. In the thirty days to 9 August 2026 it was downloaded 475,790 times . That gap is the whole story. This is the piece of software standing between an LLM agent and a production database, in tens of thousands of installations, and nobody is maintaining it....

Models normally do all their reasoning in a continuous hidden state instead of spitting out readable text which makes them hard to monitor. The authors tested the Coconut and CODI models and it turns out these models barely even use their hidden reasoning steps for logical tasks like PrOntoQA and ProsQA. You can force the models to stop thinking early and they almost always spit out the same response anyway. It turns out that their high performance on logical tasks actually comes from their spec...

This paper discusses the ways in which automation of industrial processes may expand rather than eliminate problems with the human operator. Some comments will be made on methods of alleviating these problems within the "classic' approach of leaving the operator with responsibility for abnormal conditions, and on the potential for continued use of the human operator for on-line decision-making within human-computer collaboration.

I've got a CS degree and I'm working as a mid-level full stack developer. An unfortunate part of my career is being based in Iraq where almost no developer job exists, even if it did the competition would be crazy. I want to learn something new even if not software development related that should keep me marketable more than being a developer. But what!

After the recent mathematical advances in AI, it is clear that it is possible for AI to surpass the abilities of even the smartest humans in specific domains. I feel that it is thereby inevitable that AI will be able to surpass humans in any domain of economic, scientific, or otherwise practical relevance, it's just a matter of time. As a result, there will be nothing worth paying any human to do, as an AI system can do it faster, cheaper, more reliably. What is your best argument against this p...

A few months ago I threw away around 3 months of work on my SaaS. The annoying part? I H AD validated the idea before building@ ..or at least I thought I had. I'm building in the SEO space, and before starting I talked with people about how they handled SEO. The same problem kept coming up... there are too many things to watch, too many tools, and most people don't really know what they should work on first. So... real problem. and naturally I went away and built the most obvious so...

I’m in an early stage startup and I had three calls today and spent almost as long cleaning up the CRM afterward as I did in the meetings. Notes, new contacts, calendar details, follow-ups, a random email thread that did not attach where I expected. It adds up fast. We use Google Calendar and email a lot, and I am trying to figure out if our setup is just messy or if its normal and every sales team is doing this much cleanup. I don’t need anything fancy, but it would be nice to stop losing con...

Disclosure: I built Zinley ( https://zinley.com ). “Personal AI assistant” made people open ChatGPT in their head. Clearer reactions when I said: 1) Cowork-style handoff for real work 2) Coding built in 3) Own phone number and email 4) Memory of you and your people 5) Covers you when you’re double-booked (as your AI) Still learning distribution. Demos > feature dumps. If you’ve sold AI that touches real humans: what phrase made people get it? Happy to answer questions. ...

i used to think marketing starts when the product is ready build the thing polish it launch it then figure out how to get people to use it i've changed my mind on this if nobody is interested in the problem before you build it then finishing the product doesn't magically create demand now i'd rather spend time: talking to people with the problem reading how they describe it posting about the problem watching what gets responses and seeing if anyone actually cares then b...

I’ve been using AI coding tools heavily for a while now (Cursor, Claude Code, that whole workflow). I can ship features and fixes way faster than before. The annoying part is everything around the actual product for users. I started paying attention to the small SaaS tools I use day to day. A lot of them either: have no public changelog at all have a “What’s new” page that hasn’t moved in months have a help center that still describes old UI or missing features When something chang...

I have been developing a SaaS App for one year, slowly and strongly. Its been couple of times i faced with bot attacks on my app which lately i added e mail verification system with resend email sender. However, bots passed this verification wall and passed it. I want you to help me to know, learn and put on my apps the best anti-bot systems that u use or build.
