Disclosure: I work on EarDub, a browser extension that dubs videos into other languages. This post is about a design problem we hit, not a product pitch, but the product comes up at the end. If you've tried a "real-time" video translator that listens to a video and speaks a translation, you've probably noticed the voice runs about one sentence behind the speaker. The person on screen finishes a thought, there's a pause, then the translation starts, and by then the speaker is already on the n...

I told a model to think less, and it started thinking. That's the whole bug. But how I got there is worth writing down, because anyone putting one endpoint in front of several model families will probably hit some version of it. The setup: I build a desktop app that can talk to a model three ways. A local model through Ollama, the user's own API key, or cloud credits that go through a small gateway I run (a Cloudflare Worker) in front of OpenRouter. In that last mode the app doesn't know w...

I wanted to see whether an AI assistant could keep up with a fast-moving corner of cancer research instead of answering from whatever it saw during training. So I picked one narrow question: how do KRAS G12C lung and colorectal tumours become resistant to sotorasib and adagrasib? Then I built a PubMed connector for cognee , the open-source memory layer for AI agents, as part of Mergetober. This post covers how to use it, what actually happened when I pointed it at real PubMed data, and thr...

A Vercel app can accept a file upload and store the object in Amazon S3 without putting a long-lived AWS access key in source code or deployment variables. Vercel’s Amazon S3 Marketplace integration now connects an S3 resource to a Vercel project, supplies connection details as environment variables, and authenticates with short-lived OIDC credentials. The practical work remains yours: authorize the uploader, choose the object key, validate the file, and decide who can read it. This guide wal...

Apple has officially unveiled the Apple HomeView, a $299 dedicated smart home command center that bridges ambient home automation with on-device Apple Intelligence. Representing Apple's most consequential hardware category launch of late 2026, HomeView combines custom A18 silicon, an edge-to-edge 7-inch square Liquid Retina display, and an iMac G4-inspired domed acoustic base. Pre-orders are live ahead of a November 13 global shipping date, signaling Apple's direct challenge to Amazon Echo Show ...

Modern distributed systems lean on webhooks to drive event-driven workflows, sync data between SaaS platforms, trigger deployments, and process billing events. The traditional design routes webhook traffic from providers such as Stripe, GitHub, or Shopify straight into a centralized Kubernetes cluster or cloud region. That design has real security and capacity drawbacks. A public webhook endpoint accepts requests from anyone, so it is only as safe as its signature verification. If every reque...
