A few days ago the UK government announced a ban on social media for children under 16, and now the UAE is following suit by effectively banning social media for those under 15. The UAE is the first Arab country to introduce such a measure. Children under 15 are prohibited from creating, using, or o
The first episode of Sugar season 2 is now streaming on Apple TV. Here’s what to expect from the show’s return.
How is there still no OS setting to save your handedness preference? We can detect a surprising amount about how someone wants to use a page. Dark mode, reduced motion, higher contrast, reduced data: the prefers-* media features expose all of it. There is one obvious preference the platform never ex
Series context: This is Part 7 of the E-commerce Order Allocation series. The distance matrix built here feeds directly into the OR-Tools VRP solver in Part 6. Answer-first: For 1 warehouse + 100 delivery stops, you need 10,201 pairwise distances. Self-hosting GraphHopper or OSRM on a $20/month VPS
If you've opened Chrome DevTools lately and run Lighthouse, you may have noticed a new category sitting under Performance, Accessibility, SEO and the rest: Agentic Browsing. It shipped in Lighthouse 13.3 (May 2026). It's still marked experimental, so it doesn't give you a 0–100 score — just a pass/f
Naver Brand Search returns 5×–9× LTV:CAC on every Korean D2C account I operate. It also tells me almost nothing useful about growth. You're not acquiring customers there — you're recapturing people who already decided to buy. Counting it as an acquisition channel inflates your portfolio average and
35 minutes of daily maintenance, compounded over 8 months, is north of 140 hours — and I didn't see that number anywhere in the glowing 'second brain changed my life' threads. I've been running Obsidian + Notion + Claude Sonnet across three businesses and four client retainers for two years. I track
All tests run on an 8-year-old MacBook Air. All results from shipping 7 Mac apps as a solo developer. No sponsored opinion. HiyokoAutoSync does bidirectional sync between Android and Mac. Bidirectional sync has a hard problem: what happens when the same file is modified on both sides? Here's how I h
A single ALTER TABLE statement took down one of my Workers mid-deploy. No maintenance window, no graceful fallback — just a wall of 500s while live traffic hit a broken schema. D1 is SQLite under the hood, and SQLite's ALTER TABLE is one of the most restricted in any relational database. You can add
The ThinkPad That Was Supposed to Be a Side Machine I bought a cheap used laptop as a casual work machine. It was a ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 7. I installed Linux Mint and meant to use it as a secondary machine: light research, writing, a bit of work on the go. Nothing more than that. Then it turned ou
Pi Agent Integration: Message Parsing, Retry, and Cancellation When integrating a CLI-based AI agent, you can't avoid three things: how to translate its private event stream into stable messages, who's responsible for retry after failures, and how to cleanly stop the process when users click cancel.
Originally published on lavkesh.com I recall the excitement a year ago when models could hold a million tokens in context. That's about 750,000 words or ten average novels sitting in a single prompt. The demos were impressive, and researchers posted benchmarks, but soon teams realized that having a
Lab tests (Lighthouse, CI benchmarks) tell you how your app performs on a test machine. Real User Monitoring tells you how your app performs for actual users on their devices, networks, and locations. RUM catches performance issues that lab tests never will — slow connections, memory pressure, ad bl
You've seen the tutorials. Spin up Pinecone, call .upsert(), do a similarity search, ship it. Everyone claps. The demo works. Then you take it to production and it starts lying to you. Results that look semantically relevant but aren't. Queries that should match something and return nothing. Latency
Exchange inflows, slumping demand and a 31% drop in Ether futures open interest may signal that another wave of selling could hit ETH.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Apple Inc. is going to “design and build” computer chips with Intel Corp. The deal, if confirmed, would be a significant win for Intel, which has struggled to secure big-name customers for its most advanced node technology in recent years. According
Chip design startup Architect Labs Inc. launched today with $24 million in funding from a group of prominent investors. Kindred Ventures led the seed round. It was joined by Perplexity AI Inc. Chief Executive Officer Aravind Srinivas, Transformer co-inventor Lukasz Kaiser, former OpenAI Group PBC ex
DeductiveAI, a startup that uses AI to catch and resolve bugs in software, was founded just three years ago.
SpaceX’s $2.5 trillion valuation is driven by its reusable rocket technology, which slashed launch costs and dominates the global space market. India’s startups, Skyroot and Agnikul, are targeting small-satellite launches, but need capital, scale and consistent execution to build a success story.
Vibe coding raises an important question, how do you make someone understand a risk they do not yet have the skills to see? With AI, it is now possible to quickly create an application that looks functional and gives the impression that it is solid enough to be pushed to production. But an applicati
