Here’s a problem: say you’re ingesting roughly 4 million Reddit comments per day, and you need to detect the presence of 10,000 specific keywords in near real time. The naive answer is obvious – loop through each comment and keyword. Done. for comment in reddit_comments: for keyword in keywords: if keyword in comment: # alert … Read more

We got new model releases from xAI and Anthropic last week, and I wanted to give my quick impressions to help you know if/when you should care. This is just after a half day of testing, so my impressions may change, but… we’re usually locked in on the vibe pretty quickly. By the way, even if … Read more

This article argues that Substack is structurally designed to prevent guru-style power concentration. By aligning incentives around paid subscriptions instead of advertising, enabling peer-driven discovery, prioritizing ownership and exit rights, and building around long-form, trust-based relationships, Substack creates a distributed “garden” ecosystem. In an era where AI can mass-produce authoritative content, platforms that reward originality, … Read more

When Competition Becomes Clarity I’ve attended dozens of tech festivals. Most follow a familiar rhythm: morning keynotes, afternoon workshops, evening networking with samosas. You leave inspired, maybe connected, but rarely changed. Walking into AI FEST 2026 at Chandigarh University in February, I expected more of the same. What I witnessed instead was something I haven’t … Read more

I recently submitted Nullmail to Proof of Usefulness, and it scored +76 – officially “in business”! Here’s why this project matters. What It Is Nullmail is a verifiable, open-source privacy tool with active development and organic traction. While early-stage (approx. 10,000 monthly inboxes), the project’s ‘privacy-first’ architecture is validated by its open GitHub repository and … Read more

A Blade Runner riff for a world where the lobster ships paid endpoints while humans still argue about the roadmap. The shift that matters for agent commerce – From “Crypto AI” to general AI Today, you can search the web all day and never see an invoice. n That happens because you are not the … Read more

==I tested eight piano apps on two pianos for three weeks. Here’s what I’d actually recommend.== If you search for “best piano learning app” today, you will find dozens of comparison articles that all rank roughly the same eight products, yet almost none of them analyze the actual technology under the hood. That is a … Read more

A new study suggests AGENTS.md-style repo context files can reduce coding-agent success while raising inference cost. Here’s why—and what to do instead.

Safety Is Not a Switch, It Is a Process For a long time, AI safety seemed like something you could install. You specified constraints, tested for edge cases, built guardrails, and deployed with confidence. This paradigm was fine when systems were largely static. It starts to break when systems change. Today, AI systems do not … Read more
