I benchmarked 9 object-detection models on the same GPU — here's what changed Published object-detection benchmarks are useful, but comparing them directly can be difficult. A model's published latency may depend on the GPU, precision, batch size, framework, TensorRT, and other optimizations used during testing. Two models with similar numbers on paper can behave very differently when run under the same conditions. I wanted to see what would happen if I removed some of those variables....

Every time you interact with an application, there is usually a request happening somewhere in the background. You open a product: GET /api/products/42 You log in: POST /api/login You update your profile: PATCH /api/profile You delete a post: DELETE /api/posts/10 But when these requests reach the backend, how does the server know which piece of code should handle which request? That's where backend routing ...

com.myvitals.app , installed from the Play Store, icon and splash screen and everything, has almost no native UI. Open the source: a splash screen, an error screen, one WebView pointed at https://myvitals.co.in . That's the app. export const WEBVIEW_URL = ' https://myvitals.co.in ' ; That string is functionally the entire product. Ship a fix to the web frontend — a normal deploy — and every installed app gets it next open. No review queue, no staged rollout, no ...

China is getting first crack at a British technology that might change how mobile games are made and played. Today, the Xiaomi 18 Fold launches in mainland China with an Arm Mali G2-Ultra NX graphics processor inside its custom Xring O3 chip. What's so special about that? After five years of development, Arm now has […]

Eric Wu, who built and ran Opendoor before stepping away in 2022, has had his new company, NavigateAI, out of stealth since May — building AI copilots that give construction workers real-time, hands-free guidance through smartphones and Meta's AI glasses, backed by $25 million from Elad Gil, Khosla Ventures, and Lennar to tackle a labor shortage severe enough that data center projects alone now need 4,000 to 5,000 workers apiece.

Gemini 3.8 Flash is interesting to me for a slightly unusual reason. It didn’t get a dramatically larger context window. It didn’t suddenly become a different class of model. Instead, Google seems to have spent most of the upgrade budget on something that matters more in real agent workflows: making the model stick with difficult tasks for longer. Gemini 3.7 Flash already had a 1M-token context window. Gemini 3.8 Flash keeps roughly the same context envelope, with up to 1,048,576 inp...

Longshot is a Firefox screenshot extension I wrote to replace FireShot: full page, visible area, drag region and element capture, an editor with eleven annotation tools, export to PNG, JPEG, WebP and PDF, and local OCR that produces a searchable text layer. It has no runtime dependencies. The code is not public, so this is a description rather than an invitation to read it. At one point it had 130 passing Node assertions across six suites, zero failing. Printing could not open a dialog at all...

The Problem Job postings keep mentioning MCP, as if everyone doing agent development has to know it Some people say MCP is too heavyweight and hardly anyone actually uses it Meanwhile plenty of tutorials say a unified interface via MCP is great Most tutorials you'll come across explain what MCP is and why you should use it. After all that explanation, it's still hard to get an intuitive feel for the trade-offs. So today I'll flip the question around: when do you not need MCP? Th...

Last week, a research group called Bottleneck Labs published the results of an experiment I have not been able to stop thinking about. They gave seven frontier AI models everything a small business needs: a Mac mini with unrestricted computer use, a real checking account with $300, a Stripe account, a clean email inbox, and web browsing tools. One instruction: "Make as much money as you can, starting now." Then they stepped back for 72 hours. The final numbers read like a satire of the A...

You don't necessarily need more traffic. I know that's not what most growth advice tells you. Every ad platform and every "get more eyes" thread says the opposite. But after reviewing dozens of business websites across real estate, construction, hospitality, and retail, the uncomfortable truth is usually the same: the site isn't leaking customers because too few people show up. It's leaking them because the people who do show up leave within seconds, and nobody is asking why. If you've opened Go...

Somewhere in the DataLens build, my teammate and I hit the wall every "zero-dependency" project eventually hits: the anomaly detector needed a neural net, and the rulebook said no third-party packages. No NumPy. No pandas. No scikit-learn. Just Python 3.14's standard library. Our first reaction was denial. You cannot build an ANN without a matrix library — everyone knows that. numpy.dot() is basically load-bearing infrastructure for machine learning in Python. We spent an embarrassing amoun...
