This one post will focus on research around harness engineering and how it contributes to RSI.

Harness Optimization#The progression in the object being optimized in the harness system is roughly: instruction prompts → structured context → workflow → harness code → optimizer code.

Agentic Harness Engineering (AHE; Lin et al.

The same frozen harness, without further evolving, transfers to SWE-bench-verified, indicating that the evolved harness is able to encode engineering experience into harness components rather than doing benchmark-specific optimization.

For a while I have been wondering why Anthropic named its most powerful AI model Mythos.

A safety company.

When Anthropic names their frontier model Mythos, they are encoding an instruction.

And if you are the one honest actor, your safety claims do not require external verification.

Anthropic is a safety company that has built a mythos.

Native Apps Should Be Avoided Whenever PossibleTL;DR: What you should do: Openly refuse apps, and vocally advocate for the web instead.

Meanwhile, the actual binary contained ten analytics frameworks, including the full OneSignal SDK with a sub-framework specifically for location tracking.

A single package can appear in hundreds of apps, feeding location data on millions of people to a single aggregator.

In a separate case, Google paid $391.5 million to settle claims from 40 states for continuing to collect location data even when users explicitly disabled location tracking.

Military and intelligence agencies purchase location data from prayer apps, dating apps, and fitness trackers.

Why did we wait so long for the bicycle?

Early bicycles were inconvenient and dangerous.

A bicycle, from what I’ve read, was cheaper to buy than a horse, and it was certainly cheaper to maintain (if nothing else, you don’t have to feed a bicycle).

And it turns out that inventors were interested in the problem of human-powered vehicles, dispensing with the need for horses, for a long time before the modern bicycle.

Sources and further reading: Excerpt from Bicycle, by David V. Herlihy, “Of Velocipedes and Draisiennes”, “Who Invented the Bicycle?”, and many Wikipedia articles including “History of the bicycle”.

First Principles: Running Code at AllWhen I first started exploring the ZX Spectrum, I was very pleasantly surprised at how easily the BASIC could coexist with machine code.

Files on cassette identify themselves as BASIC code, BASIC data, or binary data.

To load machine code from tape, we put the keyword CODE after the filename.

The general strategy was this:The BASIC program is saved so that it begins execution on line 30 instead of 10.

Working More Closely With the System ROMThere are six bytes in the system variables that interact with text display:ATTR-T at IY+85 : the “temporary” text attributes.

Since everyone is talking to the same models, “skilled prompters” are getting the same results as people touching LLMs for the first time.

But the idea here — that domain knowledge makes you better at using LLMs — is something I’ve also experienced in my own work.

If you have no domain knowledge, you can cling onto the LLM to at least get something.

Most of us will have to do a mix of both these approaches, since we have domain knowledge in some areas but not others.

The usefulness of domain knowledge suggests that human expertise will continue to be useful even as models get stronger.

Other analyses suggest so-called hidden debt at the five U.S. tech giants has ballooned, meaning the AI boom’s true price tag is only partly reflected in the bond markets that everyone’s watching.

Here is what is visible—and just barely visible—in the hyperscalers’ debt loads.

Explosion in hidden debtAccording to a study by Nikkei, so-called hidden debt at U.S. tech giants has exploded by 8x in just four years to $1.65 trillion.

That amount doesn’t appear on balance sheets and even exceeds the $1.35 trillion in debt that does appear on their books.

Much of the hidden debt will also become official at some point, especially when data centers start operations.

Now that the shooting gallery is done and dusted, it’s time to turn to a piece of our initial tour of the ZX Spectrum that has been left untouched: sound.

Here is our playback program:org $7000 ld b,8 ; Play 8 notes ld hl,scale ; Load from pointer loop: push bc ld c,(hl) ; Load frequency into BC inc hl ld b,(hl) inc hl ld e,(hl) ; Load duration into HL inc hl ld d,(hl) inc hl push hl ; Stash pointer... ld h,b ; ...

So we're launching a new Billable Usage API for self-serve accounts: a single endpoint that returns your account's usage and cost, broken down by product and by service period.

Cloudflare spend, next to the rest of your cloud spend: our partnership with VantageWe've partnered with Vantage on a native Cloudflare integration.

Connect your Cloudflare account in the Vantage console , and your costs appear next to everything else you run.

When you grant programmatic access to your Cloudflare account, you need programmatic visibility into what it's costing you.

The Billable Usage API is that shape.

Two of the most capable, and most demanding, are Moonshot's Kimi K-series and Z.ai's GLM.

For a long-context model, it grows quickly, and it is usually the KV cache, not the model's weights, that fills up GPU memory first.

Model accuracy stays within 0.8 points of the FP8 model across every benchmark we run, making its quality indistinguishable.

That efficiency is the whole point, but it also means hundreds of requests are reading and writing pages of the same physical KV cache.

So we built KV cache integrity checking as a layer of defense.

For most of its history, Columbia’s Kermit project was self-funded.

In 2011, 30 years after its founding, Columbia canceled the Kermit Project and released C-Kermit as Open Source under a BSD license.

I added IPv6 support, of course conditionally compiled because some systems C-Kermit builds on have never heard of IPv6 and never will.

So, I spun up a project at Open Kermit to coordinate future development in the open and keep Kermit going.

You can download the latest C-Kermit release, and of course contribute to C-Kermit and its website.

The current focus is kernel speed (the decode loop is dispatch bound, not IO bound, so there is clear headroom).

One expectation to set honestly: only about 3B parameters are active per token, so these models chat and write like large models but recall facts like small ones.

Requirements: Apple Silicon, macOS 14+ or iOS 17+, free SSD space for the container (18 GB for the 35B, 42 GB for the 80B).

MirrorCode is our benchmark, co-developed with METR, to test AI models on long-horizon coding tasks.

In a MirrorCode task, AI models are tasked with reimplementing an entire program end-to-end, without access to the original source code.

However, MirrorCode tasks are also feasible; we know that there is enough information for the tasks to be fair.

Crucially, we provide a large enough inference budget to make a serious attempt at MirrorCode tasks.

Because MirrorCode tasks involve reimplementing open-source programs, AI models are likely to have seen the original codebases in pretraining.

Representative Model Formats and INT8 ConvRotBased on the classification table mentioned above, representative model formats including INT8 ConvRot are organized as follows.

And just as FP8, FP8 Scaled, and MXFP8 are different, INT8 ConvRot is also a different format from existing model formats like INT8 or INT8 Tensor-Wise.

As a feature not found in native nodes, you can convert models other than the INT8 ConvRot format to the INT8 ConvRot format on-the-fly for use, or save them directly to a file.

Forge NeoForge Neo did not support INT8 ConvRot at the time this article was written, but it added support for INT8 ConvRot in commit 6d0bc6e on 2026/7/7.

Q2 What if I copy-paste ShieldFont text into ChatGPT?

ShieldFont changes only about 25% of all words, but nearly half of the content words.

ShieldFont aims for the point between these outcomes, where text can pass a filter without communicating the same meaning.

ShieldFont does not need to make OCR impossible; it needs to make it too costly to be worthwhile.

ShieldFont does not end the arms race; it gives the open web a way to make unauthorized scraping harder and more expensive, especially when people build on it together.

Get startedThe recommended way to install Soppo is through SOPMOD, a version manager that handles installing, updating, and switching between versions.

It also manages Go, which Soppo uses internally for compilation.

curl -fsSL https://soppolang.dev/install.sh | shThen add to your PATH and install:export PATH="$HOME/.sopmod/bin:$PATH"sopmod install sop latestOr install just the sop binary using Cargo, without SOPMOD (requires Rust and Go):cargo install soppo

That’s what inspired [vanheusden] to start working on an emulator for the machine in 2018, which has since been developed to run on a wide variety of platforms.

The emulator, named “Kek,” is quite capable, able to run Unix 5 up to an d including Unix 7 in multi-user mode, along with BSD 2.11 Unix depending on what it’s running on.

The emulator can also run on a wide variety of platforms.

Beyond that, you can even get it going on a Teensy 4.1 or an ESP32 if that’s more your jam.

Modern microcontrollers are just that powerful that emulating a PDP-11/70 just isn’t a challenge anymore.

How to programmatically upload attachments to GitHub Issues, Pull Requests, and Comments, finally, for nowIt’s possible to programmatically upload images to GitHub Issues, Pull Requests and Comments via automation.

It’s fairly well known that for the longest time, GitHub has not had a programmatic interface for uploading images and attachments.

It’s possible in the browser, by dragging-and-dropping your image, but not via something you can script or curl.

I mean, you can be more clever than curl or whatever, but that’s the idea.

I don’t know if this endpoint always accepted an Auth Token and no one tried or noticed or talked about it, or if that’s new.

Once the operating system grabs the ⌘ shortcuts it requires (⌘M to minimize, ⌘H to hide, ⌘Q to quit, etc.

At this point things feel barren, and some web apps start reaching instead for less common modifier keys (⇧, ⌥, ⌘⇧), and others go straight to no modifier zone, or override those of the above shortcuts that they can.

On top of that, repurposing a key to be a modifier key – especially one that already has a job or two – will also have a long tail of strange consequences.

The other big keys – the spacebar, Return, and Backspace – would be radioactive for this purpose.

When you hold a regular modifier key and then change your mind and simply release it, no action oc…

Pandoc 0.1 consisted of about 3000 lines of Haskell code, with no dependencies aside from GHC’s standard library.

Further releases in 2010 and 2011 added support for EPUB output, Org-mode output (due to Puneeth Chaganti), and Textile input (due to Paul Rivier).

To handle the equations properly, I added support for Word’s OMML format to texmath .

The third was the ability to create custom writers in Lua, allowing ad hoc output formats to be supported by users.

MarLinn added an ODT reader, Chris Forster added a TEI writer, and Ivo Clarysse added support for DocBook 5.

Normally I would write the following code:pub fn filter_iter (input : & [ f64 ], threshold : f64 ) -> Vec < f64 > { input .

filter ( |& x | x > threshold) .

pub fn filter_prealloc (input : & [ f64 ], threshold : f64 ) -> Vec < f64 > { let mut out = Vec :: with_capacity (input .

Instead of deciding whether to write an element, we always write it, and use the comparison to decide where the next element goes:pub fn filter_branchless (input : & [ f64 ], threshold : f64 ) -> Vec < f64 > { let mut out = vec!

The results:kept iter branchless 1% 0.59 ms 1.09 ms 25% 2.69 ms 1.05 ms 50% 3.94 ms 1.03 ms 75% 2.75 ms 1.02 ms 99% 1.49 ms 1.11 msThe worst case became almost 4 times faster.

I have spent the last two years rebuilding GNOME Boxes from the ground up, driven by three main factors.

Since Boxes acts as a frontend for libvirt/qemu, its functionality relies heavily on the backend configuration.

If you want to test this new implementation of GNOME Boxes, you can set up the GNOME Nightly Flatpak Repository and install it with:flatpak install org.gnome.Boxes.DevelThis new version already covers most of what the classic Boxes could do: creating virtual machines from ISO media and disk images (qcow2), configuring VM resources, sharing clipboard content, sending files to the guest, and more.

It can install Windows 11 without any manual workarounds.

I love building GNOME Box…

HarperHarper is an English grammar checker designed to be just right.

LanguageTool is great, if you have gigabytes of RAM to spare and are willing to download the ~16GB n-gram dataset.

Besides the memory requirements, I found LanguageTool too slow: it would take several seconds to lint even a moderate-size document.

That's why I created Harper: it is the grammar checker that fits my needs.

Diátaxis is a way of thinking about and doing documentation.

Diátaxis identifies four distinct needs, and four corresponding forms of documentation - tutorials, how-to guides, technical reference and explanation.

Diátaxis, from the Ancient Greek δῐᾰ́τᾰξῐς: dia (“across”) and taxis (“arrangement”).

Diátaxis solves problems related to documentation content (what to write), style (how to write it) and architecture (how to organise it).

As well as serving the users of documentation, Diátaxis has value for documentation creators and maintainers.

ZDNET's key takeawaysCrowdStrike warns AI is both a target and a weapon.

AI: The new weapon and target"AI is not just the tool or weapon that is being used, but it is also the attack surface," Adam Meyers, head of threat intel at CrowdStrike, commented.

LLMJacking: LLMJacking occurs when a threat actor gains access to keys or credentials used to access a company's AI models.

Meyers said these creations are becoming more bespoke, with custom tools generated by AI and LLMs to manage different defense scenarios.

According to CrowdStrike, response times are going to become shorter and shorter -- no doubt due in part to the weaponization of AI.

Last week, the Chrome security team released a blog post detailing how it is using AI to "improve vulnerability discovery, triage, and patching."

Then, for M149 and M150, Google fixed 1,072 bugs, "surpassing the total number of security bugs fixed across the prior 23 milestones combined."

That flaw lived in the Chrome code, passing test suite after test suite, for more than a decade.

And who's to say that the vulnerabilities Google finds and fixes are the same ones that the bad guys find and exploit?

At Stage 1, AI agents help filter out the bad reports, duplicate reports, and bug reports that don't really describe a Chrome security vulnerability.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Earlier this summer, nearly 160,000 applicants took the entrance exam for UNAM, Mexico's largest university. For the first time, they did it completely remotely, using a "lockdown" browser and AI-powered webcam proctoring software, over several weeks from late May through early June. It was a disaster. When exam results came in, they bore little resemblance to past results, especially at the top. Between 2021 and 2025, 3.5 percent of test takers scored 100 or more on the 120-question UNAM test. This year, 16.3 percent did so. The story was even worse at the highest of the high end. Between 2021 and 2025, 0.9 percent of test takers score…

Apple says its lower-cost MacBook Neo is beginning to displace Windows laptops and Chromebooks in K-12 schools, with several districts purchasing thousands of units. According to the company's latest earnings call, nearly half of the large MacBook Neo purchases made by U.S. educational institutions last quarter reportedly replaced competing platforms. 9to5Mac reports: Apple's commentary highlighted some large district deployments moving to Neo Pinellas County Schools, one of the largest districts in Florida, which is moving its 25k students off Windows and onto MacBook Neo across its 18 high schools. In Washington, Peninsula School District 401 moved over its 8,000 students from Chromebooks…

Microsoft reportedly plans to let developers bring Xbox 360 games to PC and next-generation Xbox devices, with a gradual rollout expected between 2027 and 2028. A separate disc-to-digital program would also give players transferable digital licenses tied to their physical Xbox discs, preserving the ability to resell or trade them. The Verge reports: With 360 games, developers can opt into making them backward compatible, and they will have control over things like a game's price and if it's available on Game Pass. The feature is expected to have a "gradual" rollout between 2027 and 2028 "across next-gen devices." The "full launch" of original Xbox games on PC is also set for October 2026; t…

Apple's practice of mixing employees' work files with personal iCloud accounts reportedly left some former staff with continued access to confidential documents, messages, and even new updates after leaving the company.

"In some cases, they even received notifications about fresh updates to the documents. Some former employees said they were petrified to delete the files for fear that doing so would attra…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Several popular Samsung smart TV apps contain code that share the owner's internet connection with strangers, potentially putting millions of Samsung smart TVs at risk of hijacking, according to new security research published on Monday.

At least one of the smart TV apps was a simple Pac-Man game that Samsung had endorsed and prominently featured in its "Editor's Choice" section on customers' TV screens. These apps contain software that funnels outsiders' web traffic through ordinary home and office internet conn…

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman criticized Google's AI Overviews for summarizing publishers' content without delivering the traffic benefits of traditional search, arguing that users increasingly value Reddit's human perspectives and firsthand experiences. Ars Technica reports: First, there was a letter to investors (PDF), wherein Huffman spun his narrative about Reddit's value proposition and general strategic direction amid the proliferation of AI tools. He wrote: "As the internet becomes flooded with synthetic content, people are craving real human perspective. We are the antidote to an automated web. AI compresses the internet into summaries. Reddit delivers the opposite: deep discussions, pas…

South Korea recorded its highest temperature since modern observations began in 1904, with the city of Yangsan reaching 42.5C as temperatures exceeded 40C for a fifth consecutive day.

The Guardian reports: More than 20 localities in South Korea were under emergency heatwave alerts on Sunday -- a new warning category introduced this year to better address rising temperatures. An emergency alert is issued when areas experiencing a heatwave are forecast to hit perceived temperatures of 38C or an actual temperature of 39C for the day. Issuing a heat warning, the weather agency urged people to "immediately stop all outdoo…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from 404 Media: Following 404 Media's reporting that book database company ISBNdb claimed to source printed books to then sell to AI companies for AI training, the company deleted the part of its website offering the service and walked back claims that it would train AI models, and instead called it "a test of market interest." On July 30, nine days after 404 Media's reporting, ISBNdb added a note to its homepage and an update on its news page about the change. "We've seen the recent coverage about a marketing landing page on our site, and we understand the concern it raised. The facts: ISBNdb has never purchased, scanned, or sold a book -- for AI trainin…

"AI's decimation of call center jobs has begun," reports Bloomberg: Companies including the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Microsoft Corp., Uber Technologies Inc. and Hyatt Hotels Corp. are using automated chat and phone systems to handle work that previously required humans. In some cases, they've already wiped out sizable chunks of their customer service operations, together representing thousands of workers. The specter of automation has long loomed over the call center industry, which employs millions worldwide from the U,S, to India to the Philippines. But until recently, generative artificial intelligence wasn't good enough to move the needle. Now, AI advancements — and pressure on e…

Even as Hollywood performers protest and Hollywood studios sue "in their war on AI," reports the Los Angeles Times, "the entertainment industry is deepening its dependence on it." Among hundreds of job postings in late June, more than one in 10 was likely connected to AI. The top studios' public postings suggest they have been recruiting people to build AI tools. They are also recruiting teams to defend their intellectual property against unauthorized AI use. "There are plenty of studios that are hiring [for AI] but never talk about it in public," said Yoland Yan, a co-founder of ComfyUI, a company that helps studios juggle different AI tools.

Подскажите, пожалуйста, какие ошибки в вёрстке и типографике я мог совершить?

Здравствуйте, Илья!

Я разрабатываю игру и столкнулась с задачей, в которой не могу найти удачное визуальное решение. В левом верхнем углу экрана у меня отображаются квесты. Верхняя строка — это глобальная цель («Покиньте подводный комплекс»), а ниже отображается текущий квест и его этапы, которые ведут игрока к глобальной цели. Мне кажется, что сейчас эти два уровня задач недостаточно хорошо отличаются друг от друга, из-за чего игрок может воспринимать их как один список.

Как бы вы пересобрали интерфейс квестов, чтобы различие между глобальным и текущим стало понятным с первого раза? Спасибо!

Как наиболее правильно делать презентацию логотипа?

Достаточно ли просто отправить его, скажем, на фоне разного цвета и чёрно-белый вариант или логичнее расположить логотип на какой-то продукции клиента (сайт, автомобиль, зажигалка, витрина и т. д. ) для большей наглядности?

Очевидно, что клиенту будет понятнее, если мы покажем, как логотип будет работать в жизни, но и каждый раз «натягивать» логотип на какие-то картинки может отнять достаточно много времени.

My mother is 86, and she is declining. Things that used to be easy for her

now seem completely foreign. She was a programmer, writing software before I

could read, so it is very strange to see her like this.She no longer uses a computer. If I mention some photos I found online, she

asks if there’s any way she can see them, as if she has never used the internet.

This is a new reality for me, but is easier than a year or two ago when she

still tried to be constantly online. As things got more confusing for her, she

struggled and complained “the computer is haunted.” Now she doesn’t have the

computer as a source of friction, but also not as a center of activity.In many ways, she is following a…

Hey everyone, I'm just a CS kid who is trying to get ahead of the stock market :) I've been building this Discord bot that would get the earning report, analyze and deliver it within 1 minute of the report release! Currently, I'm looking for some early users. You can leave a comment if you are interested and I can send you the Discord bot invite link that you can add it to your server. No subscription, no strings attached, just need users and feedback :D Thanks everyone!! (Attached is the earnings report from PLTR this afternoon Aug 3rd, not financial advice LOL) submitted by /u/IamWorkingOnDying [link] [comments]

I have been burning the midnight oil in pursuit of greatness and the time is almost here. I believe gamers should be given the mainstream attention they deserve when it comes to treating games as more than just pixels on a screen. I have been building Geecoz - a social gaming tracker and discovery platform which will tailor recommendationa to gamers on their mood ( you read that right) and an entire social layers above it too. Need gamers with an interest in social activiy and library tracking to sign up for early access to the app and be the folks who drive feedback for the same.

Hi guys, over the past few months I've been building FundReadyBench, a free tool that helps early-stage founders assess how prepared they are for fundraising. It isn't meant to predict whether you'll raise funding. Instead, it gives an indicative readiness summary based on factors like traction, team, market, funding history and growth, while (with permission) collecting de-identified startup metrics to build future aggregate benchmarks. I'm at the stage where I need real founder feedback rather than more coding. A few questions I'd love your thoughts on: Was the assessment clear? Did any questions feel unnecessary or confusing? Was the summary actually useful? What information were you exp…

I've lost count of how many good ideas I've had that just evaporated before I could do anything with them. The pattern was always the same. I'd get an idea or remember something important, then spend n seconds figuring out where to put it, then my brain would get hijacked by something else. Thought gone. It sounds small but when it happens it not only makes you feel stupid but it has real consequences. I tried everything. Apple Notes, Voice Memos, digital note takers, a physical notebook. The problem wasn't the tools, it was the friction. By the time I'd opened the right app or found the right page, I'd already lost the thread. So I built Olly. The concept is simple: tap your Lock Screen, s…

I’m a software engineer, and I built Aplitar because I kept seeing two tasks consume far more time than they should: Tailoring cover letters and resumes / cvs for individual jobs Creating and presenting slide decks For job applications, Aplitar starts with raw information about you. You can upload an existing resume, project notes, or other supporting material, then paste in a job description URL. Aplitar uses that material to create a tailored resume/CV and cover letter. You can also share a link with a recruiter, who can voice-chat with an AI avatar about your experience, projects, and documents. It gives them a much richer view of your background than a traditional resume alone. Slide de…

I have tried the habit trackers, the streak apps, the journals. all of them stopped working in week two. the only thing that ever worked for me was a $10 daily bet with a friend: whoever skips the gym that day pays the other guy. So i spent a while thinking the mechanism was the money. it isn't. the money is just the excuse. the actual mechanism is that a specific person i respect knows whether i did it. an app can move $10 around trivially. what it can't do is manufacture someone whose opinion you care about. So I have been building around that constraint: it's called Huntz. Content creators host challenges to their own audience. 30 days of the gym, 30 days of posting, 30 days of job appli…

Warehouse manager by day. This one's personal, though. I struggled to speak as a child. I had things to say and no way to get them out. That feeling never really left. So I built Talking Cards. It's an AAC app, basically a talking picture board. A kid taps cards, and the app speaks a real sentence out loud. Tap "want" + "water" and it says, "I want some water," not "I... want... water" like most tap-to-talk apps do. The part I'm actually proud of: it does this in five languages: English, Arabic, Spanish, French, and Turkish. Each one has its own grammar engine, so Arabic actually conjugates, Turkish builds its suffixes, and English handles articles and plurals. And every single word has a r…

Last year (around october or november of 2025) I had some extra money and I saw that Freepik (Magnific now apparently) had a really nice yearly plan, so I bought it. For the context at that time I had a plan on what to use it on, but long story short that idea ended up being bad and unscalable at the time so I didn't do it. And now we're close to reach october of 2026 and I only used like 5% of my credits so far. And I know that I'll feel guilt and regret if I don't utilize it. The problem is that I don't know what to use it for, I squeezed my brain and couldn't come up with an idea that is worth my time and that I maybe can generate some income from it. Can you please help me. If you had a…

I'm an android dev and built this on the side over the last few months. It's called ReviewFlow. It allows business owners to quickly manage and reply to unanswered google reviews from a single dashboard, with a single click. Basically... You connect your Google Business Profile, it pulls your unanswered reviews from the last 90 days, you click Generate, and the AI writes a professional reply in seconds — using your business name, reviewer's name, and your chosen tone. Then you click "Reply on Google" and it posts directly. No copy-pasting, no switching tabs. Got Google API approval after waiting about 3 weeks. Product is fully live with Stripe billing, trial enforcement, the whole thing. St…

So. Long story short. I used to be a personal trainer... Now I work in an unrelated field. Became a dad at 40 and realized life added about 75 lbs over a decade of not paying attention. After getting back in shape again, the thought of helping others do the same reentered the realm of possibilities. I've now built an app that allows me to provide top tier online personal training at a fraction of the cost. (I'm priced $0.01 above the base Netflix subscription atm)... My first members were all free for debugging and feedback. My first paying member, a referral from a free user, and he even invited his wife to join, so my first paying clients are actually married...! While I can't accept anym…

Every video I watch, someone says "without further ado" and they start talking about the subject. It just would be nice to have an app that just skips to that because I don't want to hear their life story. I just want to hear the tutorial. submitted by /u/soulmagic123 [link] [comments]

Hi all! I’m trying to build an open source web app(maybe an NGO one day) that currently maps relationships between our actions and their impacts on Earth. It looks at changes in biodiversity, infra, wildlife changes, water, global temp and more. Each phenomenon looks at its impact on the planet, impact on us humans and what we can do about it ( backed with sources and citations from public sources). I’ve also added an experimental urgency score, which tells you how serious we need to think through the problem and work towards a solution for it. TULIP is still an exploration tool that’ll help people understand climate impact better with the hope that it’ll keep getting information rich. I’m …

Built this as a portfolio project while learning FastAPI + frontend basics.

I kept noticing I'd spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then another 5 minutes answering follow-up questions because I forgot to specify constraints, output format, or context. So I built Zapper, a Chrome extension that sits beside your AI prompt box. It takes a rough prompt, rewrites it into a scoped, executable request, and lets you send the improved version in one click. Fewer follow-ups, fewer retries, and a much better first response. Example Before Build me a dashboard for my SaaS. After Build a responsive Next.js dashboard for a SaaS analytics platform. Include sidebar navigation, KPI cards, revenue charts, recent activity, dark mode support, and reusable TypeScript components. Use Ta…

European VCs achieve returns comparable to those in the US.

So, in other words, European investors make decisions using a less exhaustive process than their US counterparts.
