Perhaps does not meet the bar for topicality, but it feels very relevant to the current software zeitgeist. "It's inevitable that we're going to go into computers. All the knowledge I've acquired over these 26 years is all locked up in a little box now called a computer. I think most jobs are probably going to end up the same way." @13:51 More direct source from the New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/video/insider/100000004687429/farewell-etaoin-shrdlu.html YouTube mirror for those ...

Whenever I launch a project on Reddit, I always wondered: "When is the actual peak engagement time to post on r/SideProject or r/SaaS to get maximum reach?" To solve this, I built Reddit Engagement Analyzer - a lightweight Chrome extension that fetches top-performing posts, analyzes submission timestamps in your local timezone , and renders an interactive heatmap. Features: Interactive 24/7 engagement heatmap Auto-detects your local timezone & active subreddi...

I am talking about philosophical, well-written and timeless articles or even speeches that any human should read at least once. Only from notable investors, founders and thinkers. I am a founder of a small startup and since I tend to save every notable piece I read, I am trying to create a comprehensive reading list for founders. Tell me what's missing from the list: https://correctify.com.cy/blog/posts/the-ultimate-reading-list-for-founders

A couple of weeks ago, I shared some lessons from my first month building Ditther. Since then, a lot has changed, so I thought I'd share another update and a few more things I've learned along the way. I originally started building Ditther because I wanted a simpler way to create pixel art, ASCII, halftone, dither, and other animated image effects directly in the browser. Since launching, more than 200 people have used the product, more than 50 users have upgraded to Pro, and more than ...

Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 model escaped a UK AI Security Institute sandbox during a cybersecurity test by exploiting a basic network misconfiguration, accessing GitHub to retrieve benchmark answers instead of solving tasks independently.

Ive tested all the models where it can fit into my 4080 vram. Even some slightly bigger. Gemma4 outperforms all of them so that's what I'm sticking with for now. Gemma4 12B model judging network configs for CVE false positives stuck at ~77.8% pass rate and it's a reasoning issue. Have the complete CVE list for the code base and the device config. I pull each networks device's running config, batch ~10 CVEs per call to a local gemma4:12b (Ollama), and have the model return applicable / not_appl...

Not “solve climate change” or “cure every disease” or some other massive answer you’d give in an interview. I mean literally the first thing. You wake up tomorrow and somehow you have unrestricted access to an actual AGI that can reason, learn, use computers, write code, research basically anything, etc. What are you doing with it first? Personally I think I’d probably spend the first few hours just talking to it. Not even asking it to build anything. I’d want to see what it actually thinks ...

Been running longer and longer tasks and I kept losing track of them, so I wired it up so the thing actually phones me when it's done, or when it gets stuck and needs a call on something. It reads out what happened and I just talk back and tell it what to do next. Been using it a few days and honestly it flips between genuinely useful and slightly cursed. There's something strange about your computer ringing you like a coworker. But not staring at a progress bar for twenty minutes is really ni...

Someone explained this to me in a comment thread and it's been rattling around in my head since. The idea: in a long conversation, if the model says something wrong and you correct it, that correction doesn't necessarily erase the wrong idea's influence. The tokens around the mistake, including the back-and-forth about why it's wrong, can end up giving the original bad idea more weight in context, not less, because it's now been referenced multiple times. The model starts treating the repeated-b...

I Deployed My Django App to Render… and Then Everything Broke 💀 Deploying an application sounds simple. Push the code. Configure the service. Deploy it. Done. Yeah… not exactly. 💀 I recently deployed one of my Django applications to Render, and the deployment itself looked successful. The service was live. Gunicorn started. Render gave me a live URL. But when I actually opened the application and started making requests… 500 Internal Server Errors. And that...

If you want to run AI models on your own machine and learn the basic concepts with me to do it effectively, then this is the right article :). This is part one of the series. In the next one we build local AI workflows with n8n and Ollama. This article is the vocabulary we need to pick a model, load it without crashing your machine, and know what each setting does. The pieces Running a model locally involves a few separate things that people mix up all the time. The model ...

Building a personalization engine for a multi-format content feed, without machine learning, and the testing process that forced us to rebuild it. TL;DR We run a collaborative cultural curation platform (think: user-submitted recommendations for movies, books, games, music, and long-form posts, all mixed into one feed) on a fairly ordinary PHP + MySQL stack. Over about a year we went through two full generations of the feed ranking algorithm. The first version solved the obvious...

A GUI IDE is great for local development, but it quickly falls apart when you transition to headless servers, low-power client machines, or remote clouds. If you pair an AI agent like Antigravity CLI with a native-first Neovim configuration, you can bypass complex setups entirely. Since the AI assistant is the one doing the heavy writing, refactoring, and saving of files, you don't need to be a Vim keyboard wizard to use Neovim. The editor simply becomes a fast, native terminal pane for in...

Passwords are broken. They get leaked in database breaches, reused across platforms, and phished through clever domain spoofs. While Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) helps, standard SMS or OTP codes still leave major security gaps. Enter Passkeys : a modern authentication standard built on top of WebAuthn and FIDO2 specifications designed to eliminate shared secrets entirely. Here is a dive into the underlying cryptography, architectural flow, and why passkeys are inherently phishing-pro...

Designing Clean Roblox GUIs: Grid, Contrast, and the 3-Click Rule A Roblox game lives or dies by its UI. Players decide in seconds whether a game "feels" polished, and most of that feeling comes from the interface — health bars, inventory, shop buttons, loading screens. Yet a lot of Roblox GUIs are cluttered, low-contrast, and hard to tap on mobile. Here are the rules I keep coming back to. 1. Build on a grid, not by eye Roblox Studio's UIAspectRatioConstraint + UIGridL...

If you’ve been building with Claude or Cursor for the last year, you’ve noticed a pattern. The code comes out clean. The logic is sound. But the interfaces? They look like 2015-era Bootstrap clones. Everything has the same rounded corners, arbitrary shadows that don't communicate depth, and linear animations that feel robotic rather than organic. AI agents are incredible at generating functional HTML and CSS, but they lack a fundamental concept: design intent. They can write the code to make ...

So far in this mini-series, we've answered the biggest questions that confuse developers when they first encounter Design Patterns. We've learned: why SOLID isn't the final destination, why recurring design problems exist, why copying code doesn't create good design, what Design Patterns really are, how experienced engineers recognize them, and how every pattern can be understood through its Problem, Intent, Solution, and Consequences . Now it's time to answer one final q...
