How Is Technology Improving Human Behavior and Productivity?

The article argues that technology itself is not the threat. Rather, society's institutions have failed to keep pace with advances in AI and automation. It advocates for adapting education, work, and economic policy through lifelong learning, greater individual empowerment, and mechanisms such as universal basic income, while ultimately presenting the author's blockchain-based vision as one possible implementation.

ABC is firing back at the Federal Communications Commission after the agency opened an investigation into The View's airtime of political candidates. In a letter to the FCC on Tuesday, ABC argues that the agency's actions pose a risk to editorial independence by targeting programs "perceived as unfriendly to the current administration," as reported earlier […]

The ‘G-Wagen of golf carts’ could be the ideal second car

While the auto industry wrings its hands over the electric vehicle market, sweating details like aerodynamic efficiency and range anxiety, a new EV startup based in Lisbon, Portugal, is zagging in a different direction. Amble's new electric buggy won't impress anyone with its 0-60 time or its self-driving features (it has none). Instead, it takes […]

Como ter mentalidade colaborativa com a IA (e como isso me ajudou a construir o Quita)

Durante o curso de Fundamentos de IA do Google, cheguei num tema que parece simples, mas muda completamente a forma como você trabalha com inteligência artificial no dia a dia: mentalidade colaborativa . Tratar a IA como parceira de desenvolvimento significa entregar contexto, direção e feedback técnico pra receber algo útil de volta, do jeito que um colega júnior de time precisaria de orientação clara pra entregar um trabalho bom. Foi construindo o Quita , minha ferramenta que ajuda pes...

Guia Completo: Transcrição de Áudio do WhatsApp com Google Cloud API

GUIA COMPLETO: TRANSCRIÇÃO DE ÁUDIO DO WHATSAPP COM GOOGLE CLOUD API 1. INTRODUÇÃO O WhatsApp consolidou-se como uma das principais ferramentas de comunicação instantânea globalmente, com especial relevância no cenário brasileiro. No entanto, a proliferação de mensagens de voz impõe desafios significativos à produtividade e à acessibilidade no ambiente corporativo e acadêmico. Conforme aponta Oliveira (2019, p. 676), o volume de áudios compartilhados em grupos e conversas indivi...

Building Sluice: A Settlement Layer for the Agent-Paid Web

The web was designed around human visitors, subscriptions and advertising. AI agents operate differently. They search, retrieve, compare, cite, call APIs, process media and make decisions continuously. In many cases, they consume valuable work without a direct payment relationship with the person or service that produced it. That led me to a simple question: What happens when AI agents become paying customers of the web? I built Sluice to explore that question. Sluice is ...

"Every US Nonprofit's Budget Is Public. Here Is How to Build Lead Lists From It"

If you sell anything to nonprofits — software, fundraising services, consulting — you have one segmentation question that matters more than all others: can this organization afford me? Unusually, the answer is public. Every US nonprofit above a minimal size files a Form 990 with the IRS, and the filings carry total revenue, expenses, and assets. The friendly way in is ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer API. No key, no registration. Search, then enrich GET https://projects...

Claude Opus 4.7: Benchmarks, xhigh Effort Level, and What Changed

Claude Opus 4.7 is Anthropic's most capable publicly available model as of April 16, 2026 — and if you use the API for agentic coding or production tasks, you should upgrade today. The headline improvements are a 13% lift on coding benchmarks, a new xhigh effort level designed specifically for long agentic runs, and high-resolution vision support at up to 3.75 megapixels. Based on our analysis of the release, Opus 4.7 resolves 3x more production tasks than its predecessor in Anthropic's inter...

Scrapling MCP: Giving Claude Code a Real Web Scraper

Claude Code can read my files and run my shell, but out of the box it can't actually go get a page from the live web in a way that survives modern anti-bot defenses. A curl from the Bash tool gets you a 403 from anything behind Cloudflare. So I took an existing open-source scraper — D4Vinci/Scrapling — installed it locally, and registered its built-in MCP server with Claude Code. Now the agent has ten tools for pulling the real web: plain fetches, headless-browser fetches, stealth fetches ...

Atlases: 16 Interactive Learning Guides That Run Code in Your Browser

Atlases is a learning site: 16 long-form technical guides, each one a 12-chapter deep dive that you read in a browser tab while running the actual thing in another pane of the same tab. The databases atlas ships a real SQLite engine. The Python atlas runs CPython. The C++ atlas compiles C++. Nothing is a screenshot or an animated GIF pretending to be a terminal — it's the real interpreter, downloaded to your browser and running locally. It's live at atlases.vercel.app , and I built it with Clau...

How I built a Chrome extension that speaks your notifications aloud — and the two Manifest V3 problems nobody warned me about

I counted how many times I glanced at a notification during a coding session last week. Thirty-four times. Only four needed my attention. So I built Serious Notification — a Chrome extension that speaks browser notifications aloud, but only when they match keywords you set. Type "failed" and only hear build errors. Type "urgent" and only hear what actually matters. Everything else stays silent. It took a weekend to build the core. The two Manifest V3 architectural problems I hit along...

I Benchmarked China's Top 4 LLMs — The Numbers Don't Lie

So here's what happened: i Benchmarked China's Top 4 LLMs — The Numbers Don't Lie Last quarter I landed a consulting gig that needed me to route an entire product's inference layer through Chinese-developed models. The client didn't care about brand names — they cared about cost-per-token, p99 latency, and whether each model could actually pass their internal QA suite. So I spent six weeks running these models through Global API's unified endpoint, and the data told a much messier story than ...
