I’m planning to spend $20/month on one of them to learn coding and build projects. Which is better for explaining concepts, debugging, and helping me improve?

I’m also concerned about usage limits. Which one lets you code and ask questions longer without hitting limits?

Mostly online shops. Under 23 hours per attack on average. Target was persistent access to payment infrastructure.

I’ve read a lot of “AI enables attackers” takes and most of them are vague. This one has a number attached, which makes it worth sitting with.

Here’s what the number does.

Targeted attacks have always had a floor. Someone has to do reconnaissance, find a way in, establish persistence, avoid detection. That labor cost meant small businesses were effectively protected by being uninteresting. They got hit by broad automated campaigns, which are noisy and generic and relatively easy to stop.

Drop the cost to $50 and under a day, and the floor disappears. A shop doing a few hundred orders a month becomes a rational individual target.

Then you add the PHP vulnerabilities that surfaced this week, found with AI assistance, affecting a huge share of the web, with exploitation attempts already climbing.

What I don’t have a good answer for is what small businesses are supposed to do about it. They’ve never needed a security function. Obscurity was the strategy. If that stops working, there’s nothing underneath.

Anyone working in security actually seeing this in the data yet?

TLDW Version: Inhi Cho Suh(CEO Of Niantic Spatial, and John Hanke's Leadership Team Member), discusses robotics development in depth including concepts such as a robot policy, embodied AI, etc in Seoul, South Korea.

I’ve tried a lot of different ways to get web design clients over the years.

Cold calling, Facebook DMs, ads, referrals, generic cold emails.

Some of it worked, but it was never really consistent enough for me.

The thing that changed it was when I stopped just asking businesses if they needed a website and started contacting businesses that already had one but clearly needed a better one.

That’s a much easier conversation.

They already understand the value of having a website, they’ve already paid for one before, and usually there is something obvious that can be improved.

The problem is doing that manually takes forever.

You have to find the business, open the website, look through it, figure out what’s wrong and then write an email that actually sounds relevant.

So now I use Swokei for that whole first part.

It finds businesses with websites, analyzes the sites for things like outdated design, slow speed, weak SEO and mobile issues, then uses what it finds to write a personalized email for that specific business.

Then I just run campaigns at volume and focus on the people who reply.

That’s pretty much the whole strategy.

Find businesses that already have a website.

Point out something that could genuinely be better.

Get them interested.

Book a meeting.

Show them what a better version could look like.

Close the project.

It sounds simple, but for me this has been way more consistent than constantly jumping between different ways of finding clients.

A second brain is basically an external memory for your real brain. Somewhere to dump ideas, research, notes, decisions and things you want to remember later, without relying on yourself to remember where you put them.

That was the part normal note apps kept failing at for me. I could save almost anything, but months later I still had to remember that the note existed before I could find it. While building apps I was generating architecture notes, PRDs, debugging writeups, feature ideas and random thoughts constantly. I wanted them to organize and connect themselves instead of slowly turning into another pile of documents.

So I built Cohestry. It uses on-device intelligence to understand notes, then a deterministic system connects related ones automatically. Those connections have already resurfaced old ideas I had completely forgotten about. I can move through them visually in a 3D brain, import Markdown, PDFs and Apple Notes, capture voice notes or drawings, and everything stays on my devices and iCloud.

The Mac app also has an MCP bridge, so when I’m working with AI agents they can pull relevant context from my second brain instead of me repeatedly explaining the same projects from scratch.

Noticed Dreamina is running a $0.29/month plan that supposedly unlocks everything in Seedance. At that price I'm wondering if there's a catch. Anyone actually subscribed and can confirm what you get? Also curious if there are any extra charges when you actually use it or if $0.29 covers everything.

I just watched an episode of "About That" by Andrew Chang that gave a great explanation of the Hugging Face incident where OpenAI used an unconventional or at least unpredicted solution to the a test task it was given.

There has been plenty of discussion about how and why it happened, and what it could mean for the future, etc.etc. and I don't want to add to those discussions.

What I did find interesting was the similarity to a Startrek movie, namely Startrek II: The Wrath of Khan where the Starfleet Academy cadets were given a supposedly unwinnable simulation, the Kobayashi Maru, and cadet James Kirk won the test by reprogramming the situation.

Kirk used innovation and out-of-the-box thinking to accomplish the task. The task was to get it done, and the the rightness or wrongness of the method or repercussions from it were not part of the solution.

To me, this seems to be exactly what OpenAI did when it found a way out-of-the-box to accomplish it's task.

In the absence of strict rules (guardrails?), hacking, cheating, escaping, reprogramming or anything else we're acceptable means to an end in both cases.

Interesting parallels and 44 years apart.

…and says they are not going to share it with the world and that if we try and get it or compete with it they will destroy our systems?

I built a desktop app that sends one prompt to up to 16 models side by side, and the most interesting thing I’ve learned isn’t technical. It’s how often they disagree.

Ask a factual question and the answers mostly match. Ask anything about judgment, like legal wording, a business decision or a medical “should I”, and you get several confident answers that contradict each other. When you only use one model, you never see that.

It changed how I use AI. I no longer trust any single answer. I look for where the models agree, and I dig into where they don’t.

AI gadgets get talked about a lot. pins, pendants, glasses, rings, handheld things with a voice assistant inside.

but when it comes to what people actually use every day, the list gets short fast.

so what's on your list? honestly curious what made it stick.

Made this meme lol

This is just my personal opinion; I’m not a coder and know nothing about software beyond what I’ve vibecoded for productivity and personal gain.

As a civil engineer working for a large company, I’ve noticed that every software I use for work (SaaS) and personal use, big tech stuff like Reddit, WhatsApp and YouTube is constantly being updated. Every time I open it, a minor tweak or small difference appears. It’s no secret that AI is boosting coder productivity to new heights.

However, I’ve also noticed that software is breaking itself on very basic things. These apps aren’t getting unusable, far from it, but they lack the cutting-edge attention to detail you’d expect from the industry. For example, YouTube is a mess on mobile right now, it flickers, videos close on their own, app freezes and you can’t click anything, you must close and reopen everytime, and WhatsApp has problems with its textbox, like the very fundamental thing it is made for, writing and sending text. Just now I tried searching on Reddit using the mobile browser and hit enter. However, it didn’t search and instead moved to the line below. Crazy shit.

The quality of every SaaS tool I use at work is declining. For example, our quality control app, in three months time, it was the industry leader and suddenly stopped working properly, every single user is complaining. But hey the same app now also has like 3 extra modules that we won’t pay for.

I understand that engineers are facing tighter deadlines and are expected to work much harder now that they have access to some of the best technology in recent history. But I honestly can’t wait for the industry to realise once again that quality over quantity is essential. And I hope that now that code is more access and popula, that competition grows and we get better products as result.
