Thoughts on AI, the tech stack, and the indie hacker journey.
Cato Networks found a fake Codex download page running above the real results as a paid ad. There is no installer, only a command to paste, and the legitimate-looking first half is the entire trick.
Nvidia licensed Poolside's Model Factory non-exclusively, took a $1B stake, and hired 109 staff. The founders stayed. If you pick startup dependencies, the lesson is that "not acquired" no longer means "not hollowed out".
Windows Paint's on-device image generation sends your prompt to an Azure endpoint, gets back a per-generation GUID, and quantizes it into the image itself. The visible watermark toggle does not control it, and stripping metadata does not remove it.
The RC landed on 13 August with one command that migrates most of an app. The parts that will actually cost you time are the Svelte 5 and Vite 8 floor, the alias rename, and the tsconfig change.
DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp costs exactly what the text model costs. As of 00:00 Beijing time today, Saturdays and Sundays bill at the off-peak rate all day, which halves the cost of anything you can defer.
The v2.0 preview lands client/server mode, triggers, and a recursive CTE that went from 4.90 seconds to 0.12. For a one-person stack the real question is which running service this lets you turn off.
No court has ruled on whether request-and-wait distribution satisfies the licence. That ambiguity is the point, and it is a lesson about how open source degrades that has nothing to do with Android.
The Golden Gate beta man page tells you to use diskutil image instead. The replacement is faster, and it drops six flags plus the auth prompt your packaging step has quietly depended on for years.
Anna's Archive is recruiting volunteer scanners because AI labs are buying rare books and destroying them. The court record says the enforceable line was never about training, it was about how the copy was obtained.
