Waymo delivers more than 500,000 paid rides per week across 10 US cities, raised $16 billion in February, and is expanding internationally to Tokyo and London. It cannot operate in New York City. The reason is not technical, it is political. As the New York Times reported this week, opposition from
With Samsung's next-generation foldables expected to arrive next month, the current Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 continue to be sold at discounted prices. Several other Samsung phones have also received price cuts, alongside Apple's iPhone 17 Pro Max and Xiaomi's 17T series. The Samsung Galaxy
These Gemini capabilities have improved my productivity
Why 41% of My Google Impressions Are Completely Wasted I spent the last few days doing something most content site owners never do: I bucketed every single one of my 1,684 indexed pages by their Google ranking position and asked a simple question — where are my impressions actually going? The answer
The Web Admin Is a Window, Not a Second Source of Truth APX has a web admin panel, but that does not make the browser the center of the system. The design is stricter than that: the daemon owns the state, and the web UI is only a local client. That split sounds small. It is not. It decides where tru
128 lines of Python. That's the entire core of a coding agent — the loop that powers tools like Claude Code and Cursor. I didn't believe it either, so I built one from scratch. Then I pointed it at a failing test, and it read the file, ran the test, saw the traceback, fixed the code, and re-ran it —
Series — Fine-Tuning, Smallest to Largest (same task, three techniques, smallest model to largest): Full Fine-Tuning (270M) ← you are here LoRA (1.5B) QLoRA (7B) If the small model worked, why go bigger? I wanted to actually understand fine-tuning — not run a tutorial and nod along. So I gave myself
The 1 VIII doesn’t look much like any Xperia that’s come before. The Xperia 1 VIII marks an attempt at a step change for Sony's flagship phone line. Not only has it had an aesthetic overhaul, but Sony has also revamped the camera system, dropping the continuous optical zoom telephoto that's defined

Hanging your pillows, comforter and sheets out might freshen them up, but a top infection prevention expert warns that the viral UV sanitizing trend is just an illusion.
This didn't matter much, but with the current SSD prices, it does again
If your trial signups look healthy but revenue isn’t moving, there’s a possibility worth ruling out before you touch your pricing page or your onboarding flow: some meaningful share of those “new” trial users might be the same handful of people, signing up over and over with a different email addres
Why Your Browser Version Could Be Exposing Your Scraper Before the First Request Modern anti-bot systems no longer rely solely on HTTP headers, JavaScript fingerprints, or IP reputation. Increasingly, detection begins before the first HTTP request is even processed—during the TLS handshake itself. O
"This page feels slow" is a vague bug report. Before changing any code, it helps to where the time goes. A Rails request passes through a few Here is the mental model I use, and a real example of walking it end to end. Middleware → Controller → SQL → View → external calls → browser Most slowness liv
Full disclosure up front: I am a founder, and this is about something I built and open-sourced. If that is not your thing, no hard feelings. I run a small software company. Most of my day is a pile of small, different jobs: marketing, the website, a sales follow-up, a decision about a product. I sta
Recently, I migrated a production React Native application from the Legacy Architecture to the New Architecture (Fabric + TurboModules + JSI). What looked like a simple configuration change: newArchEnabled=true turned into a journey of debugging navigation issues, Fabric rendering glitches, Reanimat
What: AMD shipped ATOM + ATOMesh, a ROCm-native LLM serving stack whose headline trick is prefill/decode disaggregation — splitting the two phases of inference onto separate pools of GPUs instead of crowding them onto one. Why: Prefill and decode have opposite bottlenecks — prefill is compute-bound,
So here's what happened: the CTO Playbook for AI Agent Data Analysis on a Budget Six months ago my engineering team was burning roughly $14,000 a month on a single AI agent data pipeline. The model was great. The latency was fine. The output quality was honestly impressive. But the bill was eating o
This is a submission for the June Solstice Game Jam. An AI assistant remembers everything Until it doesn't I spend a lot of time building software around language models, and sooner or later every system runs into the same problem: context is finite. No matter how capable the model is, important det
Every time I asked Cursor about our auth flow, it would open 8-12 files, read through each one, and burn through tokens before even starting to answer. For a React Native codebase maintained by 6 developers, this adds up fast. I lead a front-end team building React Native apps. Cursor is our primary
