All federal agencies received a memo Wednesday requiring the termination of remote work options, with return-to-office plans due by end of day Friday.

Empty offices a “national embarrassment”According to the memo, "most federal offices presently are virtually abandoned," with "the vast majority of federal office workers" having "not returned to in-person work" after transitioning to remote work during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Not only has this "devastated" the local economy in Washington, D.C., the memo said, but having so many federal offices sitting empty also serves as a "national embarrassment."

That report was published last week, calling out the lack of data supporting rem…

Docker Hub is the de facto standard Docker registry, literally, if you don't specify a registry when pulling an image Docker will invisibly prepend docker.io/ to it.

From the beginning of the Linuxserver project we used Docker Hub as our primary registry; as we grew we started mirroring our images to Gitlab and Quay.io, more as a backup than anything else, there was no reason for us to have concerns about the stability or functionality of Docker Hub, until...

In 2023, Docker Hub announced that they were sunsetting Free Team Organisations, meaning your options were going to be free individual user accounts, or paid team accounts.

South Korea’s mobilization networks have not only empowered grassroots activism but also deeply influenced the growth of the progressive Democratic Party Korea (DP).

Many on the right see him as too left-wing or overly friendly toward China and North Korea, which is a central partisan issue driving South Korean politics.

Another organization at the forefront is the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), one of Asia’s most powerful labor organizations that represents 1.2 million workers across South Korea’s key industries.

The KCTU’s mobilization carries particular weight with the pro-business Yoon administration, given South Korea’s position as the world’s twelfth-largest economy and …

Introducing the Nix@NGI teamMissionOur main mission is to deliver on the promise of Nix: make open source software easy to run, both now and in the long term.

@JulienMalka , an experienced Nixpkgs maintainer and enthusiastic teacher, will focus on bringing the light of Nix to software authors.

StakeholdersThese are the people we work for and with:Project authors: Their work is at the core of the NGI software ecosystem.

Paid contributors: Not all the necessary work gets done by volunteers, and the idea behind NGI Zero is to make source software development sustainable.

Next stepsWe’ve started crafting a survey to better understand the needs and challenges faced by project authors.

I recall that I wrote in a bloody revolution and a fearless leader: only original ideas are allowed here.

I was surprised, then, to see a treatment hardly more sophisticated in the latest issue of Wired.

An addendum: Gary Marcus at the New Yorker has been talking about this kind of thing a lot recently.

That doesn’t mean, though, that there will always be remunerative, let alone satisfying work for human beings to do.

Marcus mentions that this process is already well underway in the legal field: Armies of Expensive Lawyers, Replaced by Cheaper Software.

Amazon UK has said that it will cease selling Bloomsbury’s print and e-books from midnight on 23rd January, saying negotiations between the giant retailer and the publisher had broken down.

The Amazon statement reads: "Our contract to sell Bloomsbury titles was scheduled to expire last year.

Unfortunately, the latest extension expires at midnight on the 23rd January and after that time, Amazon will no longer be able to sell Bloomsbury print books in the UK, Europe, and Australia, or Bloomsbury Kindle books worldwide."

The move extends to the publisher’s print books and Kindle titles, though Amazon stressed that customers could still buy print titles for third-party sellers off its site.

:\(\begin{array}{l l l l l l l l} ① & + & ② & × & ③ & = & \textcolor{steelblue}{\fbox{＿＿＿＿＿９}} & ((1+2)×3) \\ \end{array}\)We can easily imagine implementing this behavior with three variables: an input register, an accumulator, and an operator selector.

But does the same explanation hold for ② × - ③?

For one, it changes the sign of the entire expression, not the second operand; for addition or subtraction, this produces mildly counterintuitive results:\(\begin{array}{l l l l l l c r l} ① & ⓪ & + & ② & - & = & \textcolor{steelblue}{\rightarrow} \ & -12 & (-(10+2)) \end{array}\)Some users could’ve expected this to work differently: 10 + -2 = 8.

At VimConf 2024 in November, current Vim maintainer Christian Brabandt delivered a keynote on " the new Vim project " that detailed how the community has reorganized itself to continue maintaining Vim and what the future looks like.

Vim after BramBrabandt began with his history with Vim: he has been involved in Vim since 2006, and said his first commit to the project was made in the 7.0/7.1 days (sometime around 2006).

There have been small changes in Vim, but for major changes, you need community support.

How can we ensure that the Vim community remains healthy?

Another member of the audience wondered about language barriers, since there are many Japanese members of the Vim community as we…

Traditional vector search methods typically employ sentence embeddings to locate similar content.

ColBERT overcomes this by representing text as token-level multi-vectors rather than a single, aggregated vector.

One possible solution is to combine sentence-level vector search with token-level late interaction rerank, which leverages the efficiency of approximate vector search and the high quality of multi-vector similarity search.

Here are the results:Dataset Search NDCG@10 Rerank NDCG@10 fiqa 0.23211 0.3033 quora 0.31599 0.3934This shows that ColBERT reranking can significantly enhance the results of vector searches.

Steamroller used its decoders for everything, but Zen 5’s decoders are only occasionally activated when there’s an op cache miss.

Thankfully, Zen 5’s op cache can be turned off by setting bit 5 in MSR 0xC0011021.

Disabling the op cache drops Zen 5’s score by 20.3% and 16.8% in the integer and floating point suites, respectively.

Disabling the op cache basically makes no difference, except in the fourth pass, where the op cache gave a 1.3% performance boost.

Zen 5’s op cache therefore plays an important role in letting Zen 5 perform well.

PrefaceThis is a side-by-side comparison of the Polars and Pandas dataframe libraries, based on Modern Pandas by Tom Augsburger.

The bulk of this book is structured examples of idiomatic Polars and Pandas code, with commentary on the API and performance of both.

For the most part, I argue that Polars is “better” than Pandas, though I do try and make it clear when Polars is lacking a Pandas feature or is otherwise disappointing.

Having used Pandas a lot, I think Polars is more intuitive and does a better job of having One Obvious Way to do stuff.

Meanwhile the text content and the Polars examples are from me.

Tubular Bells was famously recorded at The Manor Studio which was owned by Richard Branson and used as a recording studio for Virgin Records.

The Rugby Radio station transmitter would constantly announce its ID (callsign) via Morse Code.

Something in the studio was sensitive enough to record the morse code being transmitted and it is forever stored on the Tubular Bells album.

SDR# extracting Tubular Bells Morse CodeWhat we have here is the wave file loaded and two important settings chosen.

The yellow line, which has clear gaps in it, is the Morse Code being transmitted by the Rugby Radio Station.

The next question (Q12) asked participants, Which parts of Guix have you used on top of Guix System?

It shows that 24% of users that use Guix on top of another Linux distribution don't use `guix package`.

Guix Shell is very popular both when used in a hosted set-up and on Guix System.

Guix System usageThe survey then asked (Q15), How have you run Guix System?

The goal was to understand driver usage across all Linux usage, whether when using Guix or another Distribution.

The game in question is using OpenGL, and luckily, OpenGL provides a function to read back the current framebuffer, in glReadPixels.

let mut img = DynamicImage :: new_rgba8 ( width , height ) ; let pixels = img .

The next step is to get the image buffer for our newly created image.

gl :: PixelStorei ( gl :: PACK_ALIGNMENT , 1 ) ; gl :: ReadPixels ( x , y , width , height , gl :: RGBA , gl :: UNSIGNED_BYTE , pixel_buffer_ptr ) ;The first call to glPixelStorei configures the PACK_ALIGNMENT .

Effectively, this gives us a buffer with 32-bit RGBA image data.

They said that they were from Google Workspace and someone had recently gained access to my account, which they had blocked.

OK, so that can't be from a google.com email, right?

Then I realize I should check the Google Workspace logs and didn't see any login attempts from weird IPs.

We talked further for maybe 5 minutes as I was looking through my Google Workspace logs trying to find anything, then the call dropped mid-sentence while she was talking.

I understand how they were able to spoof the "Google" phone call through Google Assistant, but I have no idea how they got access to important.g.co.

Simple CPU designFigure 1: the SimpleCPU processorWelcome to the world of tomorrow (Link), the past and the present of computer architectures, with a small sprinkling of flashing LEDs.

This web site was inspired by an article by Alan Clements (Link), in this he discusses the pressures faced in teaching computer architectures.

why do students need to know what happens inside a CPU, very few students will go on design one?

To me this way of thinking highlights the misunderstanding of the purpose of teaching computer architectures.

A starting point, a foot on the road to CPU design, hopefully highlighting questions about computer architectures people have not considered before.

Cerf and Kahn’s TCP turned isolated networks into an interconnected web, letting data hop around the planet in tiny packets.

The papers in this post are a reminder of where our core concepts — data structures, algorithms, the very web — came from.

I decided to run a personal experiment, as a non-coding journalist with a long held ambition of creating software products.

The first was the release of the Claude Sonnet 3.5 model from Anthropic, a model which excels in producing great code from text prompts.

The second was the release of the open source product Bolt.new, an app which took the Claude model and wrapped it in an easy-to-use interface.

Don’t be fooled, behind 99.9% of all these AI coding products is one key component — the Claude Sonnet 3.5 AI model.

Bottom lineThe bottom line is, yes it is absolutely possible for a novice to code up modest apps using the new tools.

How to improve your WFH lighting to reduce eye strainI work from home everyday, I am susceptible to eye strain, eye pain, and dizziness.

High contrast lightingHigh contrast lighting can exist in a few different formats.

The best lighting for camera, is not necessarily the best lighting for ergonomics.

Consider reserving this lighting for calls, or see if generally better room lighting can result in a similar light quality on camera.

Even the perfect lighting environment will fatigue you — take breaks, and think beyond lighting!

I’ve always been a sucker for high pixel density, so I went with a 4K AMOLED 13.3” display.

A Python script and kernel module in the OS forwards it to the battery service in the kernel to display it natively.

Being a mechanical keyboard addict with quite a few ZMK keyboards designed, I chose the Cherry MX ULP mechanical switches for the best feel.

The chassis layout is fairly simple: batteries on the bottom, the power board on the right, motherboard on the left, and the hinge mechanism on top.

To put power in people’s hands in creation, innovation, imagination, or whatever else.

Wechat Group Xiaohongshu X Discord“ Living out everyone’s imagination on creating and manipulating 3D assets.”🔥 NewsAbstractWe present Hunyuan3D 2.0, an advanced large-scale 3D synthesis system for generating high-resolution textured 3D assets.

This system includes two foundation components: a large-scale shape generation model - Hunyuan3D-DiT, and a large-scale texture synthesis model - Hunyuan3D-Paint.

The texture synthesis model, benefiting from strong geometric and diffusion priors, produces high-resolution and vibrant texture maps for either generated or hand-crafted meshes.

We systematically evaluate our models, showing that Hunyuan3D 2.0 outperforms previous state-of-the-art models, …

I mean anything in the 0.5B-3B range that's available on Ollama (for example).

Have you built any cool tooling that uses these models as part of your work flow?

We seem to be experiencing a surge of video generation tools, models, and applications.

However, video generation models generally struggle with some basic physics, like realistic walking motion.

This leaves some generated videos lacking true motion with disappointing, simplistic panning camera views.

Genmo is focused on the motion side of video generation and has released some of the best open models.

Paras joins us to discuss video generation and their journey at Genmo.

It charges all of your Pixel devices in one convenient place.

$43.97 at AmazonTo this point, I was charging my Pixel 9 Pro on an aging Pixel stand, my Pixel Watch on its official charger, and my Pixel Buds Pro earbuds with a USB cable.

The stands were either geared for the original Pixel Watch, didn't offer a separate wireless option for my earbuds, or required multiple cables (which defeated one of my needs).

The charger in question can work with devices such as the Pixel Watch 2, Fitbit Versa 4 or 3, Sense 2, Google Pixel 9/8/7/6/5/4 (both standard and Pro models), Pixel Buds Pro, iPhones, and AirPods.

Called "mind evolution," the new approach is a form of searching through possible answers -- but with a twist.

On TravelPlanner, Gemini with the mind evolution approach soars above the typical 5.6% success rate to reach 95.2%, they relate.

The bad news is that mind evolution requires much more computing power than the normal Gemini approach.

Mind Evolution also eats up three million tokens because of the very long prompts versus 9,000 for normal Gemini.

One important omission in the authors' work is how to take the very large computing budget of mind evolution and slim it down.

Trump appeared at the White House with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, SoftBank chairman Masayoshi Son, and Oracle founder Larry Ellison.

Oracle is one of the technology partners for the joint initiative -- dubbed Stargate -- along with Microsoft, ARM Holdings, and Nvidia.

Given that, writes Ader, "Depending on who else contributes to the project [Stargate], the incremental investment is likely more muted."

How I used AI to solve a family puzzleOthers have raised questions as well, including Trump's efficiency czar, Elon Musk.

How much of the new data centers might be dedicated to AI training, and how much to inference?

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on AI Thursday that will revoke past government policies his order says "act as barriers to American AI innovation." From a report: To maintain global leadership in AI technology, "we must develop AI systems that are free from ideological bias or engineered social agendas," Trump's order says. The new order doesn't name which existing policies are hindering AI development but sets out to track down and review "all policies, directives, regulations, orders, and other actions taken" as a result of former President Joe Biden's sweeping AI executive order of 2023, which Trump rescinded Monday. Any of those Biden-era actions must be suspended if t…

Intel is advocating for modular PC designs to improve repairability, reduce e-waste, and align with the right-to-repair movement. A trio of executives makes their case for such designs in a recent blog post. The Register reports: Intel's approach to the problem is to draft three proposals targeting different market segments, saying that a one-size-fits-all approach would not be able to address the nuanced demands of these varied segments. Those three segments comprise "Premium Modular PC" (actually a laptop design); "Entry/Mainstream Modular PC" (another laptop); and "Desktop Modular PC." The first envisages a three-board system, comprising a core motherboard plus universal left and right I…

DeepSeek не расскажет вам о событиях 1989 года на главной площади Пекина. И про Винни-Пуха не будет распространяться. Но зато он не будет сливаться по зажатым западной woke-культурой вопросам. Каким ИИ будут пользоваться ваши дети? Им до лампочки политика, а вот без цензуры поболтать со всезнающим мозгом — какая разница откуда он родом и куда улетают данные? — пользователи выберут сами. Ровно так они выбрали ТикТок. Он прикольный. Пофик, что следит за каждым шагом. Как пчёлы на мёд налетят.

Продукция помогает фермерам в 100 странах мира? Это проблема: если бы это был заголовок, читателю еще могло хватить на него внимания. А в сплошном тексте внимание начнет рассеиваться и теряться, человек отвлечется и уйдет.

There's a famous quote that people in tech like to use. It was supposedly said by Henry Ford about the invention of the automobile: If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said ‘faster horses’. There is no actual evidence that Ford ever said this - Regardless, it has become a favorite adage for people talking about creativity and innovation. It’s often accompanied by a smirk and an air of superiority. The essential message being that users don’t actually know what they want or what true innovation looks like until a visionary comes along who presents it to them.

That mindset of “innovation against popular demand” seems quite pervasive in the IT industry these days, now…

Back in early 2000, childcare software was all desktop based with siloed back office functions and limited consumer facing interfaces.

I noticed a gap in the market and saw the potential for cloud-based software that could fundamentally change how software could be developed, delivered and supported in the childcare industry.

We built the first version of our solution by working with a few childcare providers in Silicon Valley.

You can learn more about my background and 1Core Solution:1Core sponsors a Youtube channel called The ChildCare Channel, a safe space designed to Inform, Inspire, and I…

This is what I am building today, and is what will eventually be the number 1 personal brand consultancy worldwide and have a team of 500 consultants.

The term personal brand was coined by a man named Tom Peters in 1997 in his article “The Brand Called You” which was published in FastCompany.

Within 3 months, the business appeared as if it was around for years and was already a trusted, vetted, personal brand consultancy.

I initially went on a podcast tour and was doing interviews that felt like every single day talking about MCG, writing more articles on industry subject matter, for example why you would hire a personal brand consultant, why you should build your personal brand, and how ou…

My name is Tony Wang, and I’m the general manager of The Cat Cafe in downtown San Diego.

We are the first cat cafe to open in Southern California and we are the fourth oldest continuously operating cat cafe in the United States.

We first learned about cat cafes when we saw an article about Le Cafe de Chats in Paris.

We are The Cat Cafe, as opposed to other cat cafes that have cute names.

But if you work hard enough at it, and you succeed, it will feel great.

We are a bit different in that we focus on German conversation/speaking classes - we don’t do traditional grammar classes.

We don't tell anyone this but what we really sell isn’t German classes, it is confidence!

To get around this and practice the German I was putting so much effort into learning, I thought I would start an online group for German learners.

But the issue was my German is intermediate - so half the people had German worse than mine and have better.

A poor decision of mine was not grandfathering in everyone who first joined (about the first 80 people) as free customers for life.

We are a Media and Consulting agency focused on the U.S. Latino demographic and are working towards building a marketplace for Latino-owned businesses.

We currently run a weekly newsletter and social media focused on elevating positive stories around the business, culture, and social impact of U.S. Latinos.

The newsletter started and is still currently free to readers.

To continue growing our audience and agency clients, I will double down on consistently posting across social media platforms.

Over the next 12 months, as I’m increasing agency and newsletter revenue, I’ll be focused on slowly building up the first iteration of the Latino-owned marketplace.

Because owning a self-storage facility didn’t seem like a real estate investment.

It sounded more like I would be running a small business.

The self-storage industry is interesting, because it benefits greatly from a lot of modern business practices.

We knew our focus coming out of the gates was to build a self-storage business with a heavy focus on technology and process optimization.

Our first Iron Storage facilityThe first storage facility we bought and revamped was about an hour from where I lived in Houston, TX.

I am Stefano Lodola, founder of Think in Italian, a language learning platform designed to help individuals master Italian through an immersive approach.

My research confirmed that there was a gap in the market for a more comprehensive and engaging approach to learning Italian.

However, many language app users have expectations that work against them (“where are the quizzes?

At its peak, my site had the largest amount of organic traffic among those focusing on teaching the Italian language with 130k visits/m.

Instead of those spammy “best xyz” listicles that any content writer can make up, I published hundreds of grammar notes to attract people who are serious about learning Italian.

Our current hero product is the Vonu Lounger, a multi-use lounger that helps with tummy time, reflux relief, burping, and gas relief, and encourages face-to-face time with your little one.

As of right now, we’re less than a year in, and over 10,000 babies and parents have found relief with the Vonu Lounger.

We ended up with the first Vonu Lounger which we called a “Burplee” at the time.

We use our social proof and UGC to build a community around the brand and the Vonu Lounger.

Davante, our co-founder, taught himself how to buy media a few months into building Vonu and has done an incredible job creating a paid media team around him.

What we had in mind was a simple, clutter-free email hub, where people could manage all their inboxes and reduce some of that email anxiety we all experience.

To this day, I believe it shows in the way Mailbird is built, its features, and the overall user experience.

Our customer base consists of two main groups:The heavy email users.

Part of the Mailbird team, in BaliWe launched Mailbird with minimal resources.

Mailbird - Last but not least, of course, we use Mailbird for our email management needs.

My son, Asher, and my wife, Paige, and I started our woodworking business four years ago: Frailey Woodworks.

Each of these skill sets are now focused on our high-end furniture making business where we specialize in full-scope design and build.

Soon, we ventured into other custom mid-century furniture, and our business took off.

Building our first hand-powered sit/stand desk took several iterations before we had a working prototype.

These customers took a chance on our company and we are very grateful for their trust.

Aithor helps with research, essay planning, sourcing trustworthy references, and adhering to specific types of writing.

We are broadening our focus to include content creators such as marketers and managers, while still supporting our existing student base.

It wasn’t until about four months after the product launch that we realized we were in the right place at the right time with the right team.

We quickly went to market, attracted new clients, and received valuable feedback, which led us to refine the MVP.

Hey, my name is Kyle Bigley and I am the Founder of TxtCart, AKA the AI-Powered SMS Marketing company for Shopify stores.

We’re a unique SMS Marketing company pioneering conversational commerce with AI agents generating sales and resolving customers questions via text messages.

Now, we’re over $1M ARR while still bootstrapped and are setting our sights on $3M ARR by 2026 (whilst still bootstrapped).

So I started TxtCart right before graduating, and took a Project Management job out of college.

Holding out on external investment from either Angels, VCs or crowdfunding makes building a SaaS in an ultra competitive environment like SMS Marketing incredibly difficult.

My company specializes in designing and manufacturing modern, stylish flatpack furniture and other designery items.

This allows me to focus on what I'm good at – the creative process – and leave the manufacturing to experts.

The combination of life on the road and designing things inherently designed to travel or get deconstructed and reconstructed resonated with me.

I also use Notion for ideation and notes, Shapr3d for CAD design and drawings, Illustrator for logos, Pacdora for packaging design.

Natural curiosity is an essential tool for entrepreneurs: asking questions, seeking to understand how things work, and being eager to learn and inquire.

I was based out of Singapore and was working with an edtech founder and looking for ideas in the AI + edtech space.

Explored several ideas like vision AI based analytics for live tutoring classes, adaptive learning and AI generated quizzes.

A year later in 2022, I put together all my learnings in AI quiz generation into an Udemy course.

So I built the first version that just takes text input on a left textbox, calls an API behind the scenes and shows the output text (quizzes) on the right textbox.

There are so many things like influencer marketing, email marketing, paid ads, SEO, newsletter marketing etc.

Software development, nutrition, business strategy, economics, AI - I've obsessed over them all.

Free product feedback can be deceiving - they might not value it the same if they were paying.

Some crucial parts weren't ready (like, you know, showing people their AI generated headshots), but who needs a complete product, right?

As you can see from the screenshot below, we were ranking for an important keyword, ‘Ai headshot generator’, in April.

Install as many product feedback loops to drive insights about your target audience.

Quitting The OscarsI’m a content strategist based in Los Angeles — I help businesses get more clients from their content.

Before going out on my own, I ran digital marketing for The Oscars, worked in marketing for New Line Cinema, and was a journalist for The Hollywood Reporter.

I do this through my free newsletter, For The Interested, and my podcast, Clients From Content, as well as through a paid group coaching program and 1-on-1 consulting.

Luckily, I had been building email lists over the years, so I didn't have to start from scratch with my newsletter.

I also took the Oscars as my first consulting client, so I wasn't starting from scratch on that front either.

The new AI Act is setting strict rules based on how risky your AI project is — from minimal (like spam filters) to unacceptable (like social scoring).

Now comes the big one: the AI Act.

AI risk levelsThe AI Act basically classifies AI solutions into four levels of risk:Minimal risk (level one) These are your everyday AI apps, like spam filters, AI-enabled video games, simple recommendation tools, etc.

Harmonized standards: Instead of juggling 27 different sets of AI laws across the EU, you’ve got one clear playbook.

If you’re building simple AI apps, chatbots, or basic AI tools, you’re probably not on their radar.

Without that initial success, I doubt we would be where we are today.

Phase 1The initial phase after the acquisition was the most hectic.

From there, we continued to build and grow the feature set directly from the initial customers (the life-time customers) feedback.

As with any newly-marketed SaaS product, there were ups and downs on a daily basis.

And this is what I think is the critical element to finding success with building a SaaS product.

The screening method is an ancient way of finding all prime numbers that do not exceed the natural number N (N>1).

Arrange natural numbers 1 to N. The smallest prime number is 2, so first cross out 1.

In this way, the next non-zero number will not be a multiple of all numbers smaller than it, and it will be the next prime number.

If it is, it indicates that it is the prime number that needs to be processed.

A3 uses a loop function to calculate in A2.

PerformanceLike other reasoning models, DeepSeek-R1 spends longer "thinking" through its responses than traditional large language models, providing better answers to complex questions.

The model offers impressive results when compared to the latest available o1 version on AIME 2024, MATH-500 and SWE-bench Verified benchmarks, according to data shared by the company on Monday.

Users can chat with the model for free for up to 50 messages a day, while developers can build with its API for less than a dollar per million input tokens.

The next few weeks should have plenty in store for indie hackers interested in reasoning models.

AliBaba announced a preview of its own reasoning model just days …

For the past 6 months, I've been creating deep dives on how bootstrapped businesses grow from $0 to $250k.

Research on 64 founders (56 businesses) that reveals who they are, what they built, and exactly how they built it.

In my research of bootstrapped founders, the average experience before reaching success was 8.4 years - putting them around age 32.

In contrast, bootstrapped founders tend to build different types of businesses - you're unlikely to find a bootstrapped biotech company, for instance.

The data shows successful bootstrapped businesses being built everywhere from small towns to major cities, across multiple continents.

The best path might be to have a job and buy a side project.

At the same time, there is less risk because if the website stops making money, you don't owe anything.

Benefits of having a Job and Side ProjectOwn PaceWhen someone quits their job and start a website, they need to get sales and fast.

Your Brand New Project Will FailYou may have read about someone that built a new project every month.

Once your project starts making big numbers you should consider quitting your job.

“In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service,” the company said in a statement.

You can even pin this feed to your home screen or customize it alongside other Bluesky feeds.

X on the other hand, introduced a dedicated video tab to its app’s bottom bar for US users.

you better not be making a dedicated video tab when I get homeme: pic.twitter.com/ZbmLBmSbDp — X (@X) January 20, 2025But Bluesky isn’t just sticking with a new feed; it's going all-in on short form videos.

It’s doubling down on its decentralized foundation, AT Protocol, to create new TikTok app alternatives, like Tik.Blue, Skylight.Social, and Bluescreen.Blue.

OpenAI's o3-mini will launch in roughly two weeks.

Last month, OpenAI announced it had created a high-performing reasoning model with benchmarking scores that approach human levels of cognitive ability.

Like previous model families, OpenAI will release a full version and a mini version (and possibly a "Pro" version).

It's not yet clear when the full model will be launched, but CEO Sam Altman says o3-mini should drop in the next couple of weeks.

Reasoning modelsDespite the name, o3 is the second generation of OpenAI's "reasoning models," which are designed to think more like humans.

Trump’s $TRUMP became the fastest-growing meme coin to hit a $15B market cap.

On January 17th, Donald Trump, the US President-elect set to take office in just three days, has launched his own meme cryptocurrency, $TRUMP.

rumors, quickly became the fastest-growing meme coin to hit $15B, climbing more than 10,000% — It reached a $3B valuation within the first hour.

Along with Fight Fight Fight LLC, the two entities collectively own 80% of the tokens.

If it flops, we’ll add another cautionary tale to the meme coin archives.

Howdy, I might be looking for something a little different than normal.

I have a smattering of websites already live, but they all look like they were designed by a backend engineer.

I'm looking to partner up with a designer/UXer who can sling HTML and CSS to add some sparkle to my sites.

No JavaScript chops needed (unless you want to do that, too!).

Also willing to potentially build the backend implementation for ideas that I find intriguing.

Whatever it takesMy entrepreneurial journey started in 2015 after watching an Alex Becker video on how to make money with SEO.

I tried and tested every single business model under the sun until I had some success with freelancing and, now, SaaS.

Along the way, I documented every single thing on YouTube.

After selling Vettted, I shifted my attention to scaling my current AI SaaS, Journalist AI.

When an insane technology like AI comes into play, it’s dumb not to build something using it.
