What is interesting to me is that stripping the C2PA data is easy, but faking it is hard. You can resave the file and the "made with Claude" signal disappears, but you cannot make a random file pass as Claude-made without Anthropi

One place where I find the Flash models surprisingly bad is Google Search's "AI Mode". A recent example - I searched for how to unsubscribe from Pearson emails. Google Search "AI Mode" confidently gave me a sequence

It only makes sense if we are measuring raw capability per dollar. Once you factor in noise, physical size, idle power, battery etc, I think the calculation changes. For a home sever that's mostly idle, it is almost like commuting in a

I think the problem is concentration. AI now absorbs almost all of the oxygen from every category. A story about new chips becomes an AI story. Cloud pricing becomes an AI story. Even personal projects get pulled into the same orbit.

If I am archiving PBs of data for 10+ years, I don't want to rely on a WASM interpreter being available and performant in the future just to read a file. I want a dead-simple, heavily documented byte specification like Parquet. Additio

It's a selection bias issue. The categories you have listed are essentially web services wrapped in an app shell. Of course they need the internet. Consider these examples: - Photo/Video editors - Snapsheed, Lightroom, Video trimm

This is excellent. Seeing this makes me appreciate how much visual awareness tools like this are needed. I built something similar, for the web. https://neberej.github.io/exposedbydefault/ Github: https://gi

We (software engineers) get better outcomes from the same algorithms by improving data flow, constraints, instrumentation etc. (Better) prompting, retrieval, context engineering etc seem like the LLM equivalents. The model weights haven&#x2

I've been spending my time away from screens, on woodworking, mostly small projects like plant pot holders. One thing I've learned is how hard it is to get things perfectly aligned.

I've accumulated a bunch of old website archives over the years. The funny thing is the ugly HTML dumps have been more useful than the "perfect" archive. It's one of the reasons I've become a bigger fan of RSS over

I've shifted to a "slow code" approach with AI, treating it more like a design partner than a code generator. I mostly do TDD with TypeScript. I write the test, write the code myself (sometimes with the help of LLM), and then

That pelican looks like it lost 100k on NFTs and now runs a paid stock-trading group.

This is the reason. I have just been vibe-coding my way for a few months now, got almost all the tools (except Browser and Mail) that I use daily, designed by me (with the help of LLM).

For me, its those Who's hiring or Who wants to get hired posts. I used a throwaway email once and got emails about SEO and AI projects. I don’t engage. I mark as spam, block the sender/domain, and move on.

I built a tiny Notepad clone in ~5 minutes using an LLM: open/save, plain text, no surprises. Lately I've been doing the same for other small utilities. Roughly half the little tools I use are ones I generated and kept because the

Why not install just the Messenger app? I never install Facebook app, but I keep Messenger app to chat with my college peeps.

I am a fan of https://blogs.hn/ . It is mostly HN-like content, but I visit it daily. I wish there was a "new" view though.

Agree on that. HN is a good example of resisting that pull. It hasn’t optimized for engagement loops. Credit to @dang and the moderation team for keeping it that way.

It's been fantastic. The mouse puts my hand in a natural "handshake" position, which has cut down on the wrist strain I used to get after long hours of work or browsing. I'd highly recommend giving it a shot.

I am a big fan of https://blogs.hn/ (I visit it daily), your directory looks similar. You should automate this, maybe drive all of these content from a json file and accept PRs. --- My blog: https://nabraj.com&#x

This suggests HN is functioning as designed. Votes signal agreement while comments surface disagreement. Negative posts outperform because they create unfinished cognitive work. A clean, agreeable story closes the loop, a contested claim or

Nice, Linear is a perfect target for this mindset. The REST client went surprisingly smoothly once I committed to keeping it boring. I'm building Mac apps in Xcode, and I keep multiple small apps in a single Xcode project with a few sh

I’ve been vibe-coding replacements for the tools I actually use every day. So far: a Notepad, a REST client, a snipping tool, a local gallery and lightweight notes for iPhone. The motivation isn't novelty. It's control. I don&#x27
