But, why do they launch Firebase Studio ( https://firebase.blog/posts/2025/04/introducing-firebase-stu... ) on the same day? I wonder if this is a timed.

And interesting comparison between Web search vs Gen AI. Web search seems divergent: the same keyword leads to many different kinds of results. Gen AI seems convergent: different keywords that share the same semantics lead to the same resul

OP highlights application problems, and RAG specifically. But that is not an LLM problem. Chat is such a “leaky” abstraction for LLMs I think most people share the same negative experience as they only interact with LLMs through the chat UI

The problem with en and em dash is that 1) they are too hard to type. 2) using them without surrounding thin space or hairspace breaks the horizontal rhythm and draws unnecessary attention to the punctuation; but thin and hair spaces are eq

Apple needs to admit, a product is either new or improved. It is never new and improved.

I'm curious how the lifetime pricing model work for you as a founder. Are you able to bootstrap this yourself and stay within budget with all the compute and hosting cost?

This might be a contrarian take: the improvement against gpt-4o and gemini-1.5 flash, both of which are general purpose multi-modal models, seem to be underwhelming. I'm sensing another bitter lesson coming, where domain optimized AI w

I'm curious too. I want to understand "Figma is destroying the design world on unprecedented scale by normalising bad UX, UI and product management found in Figma itself".

I think this post is related: We are destroying software ( https://antirez.com/news/145 ) I don't disagree that software engineering is not as rigorous as it was. But software has also spread into much wider area, a

I think the issue is that the font used by the author does not support fraction pixel sizing. I changed the body font size from 1.2em (16.8px) to 16px and the issues are gone. I'm curious too as for why it happened. I'm guessing t

I'm actually glad AI use is revealing misalignment: If the AI is so good at it, why are we still hiring human to do the job? It just shows how the interview process is not measuring the right thing to start with.

We are approaching a singularity where we actually want to hire the cheating tool, not the cheater.

Looks like a very high quality library, great work! I wonder if it will eventually support auto truncating tab titles when the tabs fill up the horizontal space, just like how chrome display large number of tabs.

Despite fewer clicks, copyright fights, and sometimes iffy answers, AI could unlock new ways to summon all the world’s knowledge. Maybe a better title would be AI menas the end of knowledge as we've known it

Because Clojure treats data as first-class citizens, we could build our own lightweight conflict resolution system using pure functions that operate on these transactions. What does it mean to say Clojure "treat data a first-cl

The visual design details make it feel like the navigation system of Elite Dangerous! Well done! A sound effect would be nice. Just an idea.

UW's slogan is "Be Boundless". This is the polar opposite of that. UW has missed a great opportunity to show its current and future students and faculty that innovation is valued there. Their management decision will shutdown

Going off a tangent, I wonder if the market reveals survival bias: companies and products that did respect privacy practice (e.g. by asking explicit permission) were not able to harness enough user data to compete with other bad players, an

This is what Meta Portal could have been. It's not about going high tech and fancy UI. It's the human kindness that makes tech beautiful.
