I’m the author of a new preprint on repeated-query auditing of LLM brand recommendations, and the founder of Rankfor.AI. The practical question: how many times should we repeat a prompt before comparing results? The paper applies generalizability theory: estimate variance components from a pilot, th

FastDB is an (persistent) in-memory key/value store in Go. I made some updates to comments I've got (A big thank you to ShotgunPayDay) Test coverage : 96.54% https://codeberg.org/marcelloh/fastdb A test does the following: - Populate 1,000 items with rdom.Intn(1000000). - Inside for range b.N, exec
The decision took about nine minutes. It was the start of a new product — VirtualRx, a business-management app for small retailers in Lagos. Point of sale, inventory, invoices, the lot. I needed a database, I had a schema roughly in my head, and MongoDB let me start writing code that afternoon inst
METR has been tracking one number since 2019, and it is not a benchmark score. It is a duration: the length of a task, measured in how long a human expert needs, that a frontier agent can finish on its own. The headline result from their NeurIPS 2025 paper is that this duration has been doubling ro
Writing "Write clean code" in CLAUDE.md changes nothing. During the process of building 10 personal apps in three months, I rewrote CLAUDE.md many times. Since it became clear what worked and what didn't, I will outline that distinction. What Doesn't Work Giving instructions with
There's a phrase I keep seeing everywhere in AI development: "We need an AI agent." Need to analyze documents? Build an agent. Need to automate a workflow? Build an agent. Need to interact with APIs? Build an agent. Need to write code? Build an agent. At some point, I started asking a diff
I hadn’t really touched one of my AI projects, Vivify Face Swap, for about a month. No major updates, no new campaigns, no big SEO changes. Traffic stayed surprisingly stable the whole time. Then around August 30, it suddenly dropped. That was the interesting part for me. Nothing obvious chan
This is my first post here. I figured I should start somewhere, and a hackathon project is as good a reason as any. The background I have been writing business software for about three years. Dashboards, APIs, data pipelines. It pays the bills but it stopped being fun a while ago. When I
Push-to-deploy, automatic HTTPS, and preview environments on a $24 droplet with Dokploy, plus the four mistakes to skip on the way. For two years, deploying was the easiest part of my week. I pushed to main, closed my laptop, and the site updated itself. I never thought about servers, which was the
Hi all! I’ve been coding professionally for the last 15 years - and more and more with AI next to me. Naturally pushed by the market to produce more and more output, I now find myself hopping daily between 5 to 7 simultaneous AI sessions. I realized that the bottleneck is becoming the code review
Party Challenges is a free 18+ browser party card game with 1,000+ cards across 23+ themed decks for friends, couples and solo play. We built it at Inithouse, our product studio, and after several months of running it we started tracking where sessions break down. The short version: most card games
What Actually Happens When You Run docker run You type docker run -d --memory 512m myapp:latest and hit Enter. A second later, a container is running. It feels like one action. It is not. Behind that single command, four separate programs hand work down a chain, an image gets pulled apart into la
Benchmark scores (GPT-6 uses a harness for ARC-AGI-3, and is at about 60% without one): https://preview.redd.it/v7nik4nbtfnh1.png?width=1378&format=png&auto=webp&s=a6ec04b5b87e7f2dce748b275d878ab0243f751d https://openai.com/index/gpt-6-astra/ submitted by /u/we_are_mammals [link]
For the past year, the default approach to building AI automation has been simple but flawed: write a massive prompt, hand it to a single "god-mode" AI agent, drop it into an autonomous loop, and cross your fingers. While this loop engineering works for simple summarizations, it shatters in product
Short answer: model session creation, verification, refresh, and logout as four separately authorized, auditable state transitions; for a property-management portal, require abuse checks before creating or recovering access, keep renewal more constrained than initial login, and distinguish one-devic
A D2C technology stack is often discussed as a shopping list: commerce platform, OMS, CRM, analytics, payments, search, loyalty, customer support and increasingly AI. That framing is useful when a brand is starting. It becomes dangerous when the brand begins to scale. The reason is simple: custome
Shared AI sessions make a ton of sense. We already do a janky version of this today. I talk through something with ChatGPT, copy the useful parts to a friend, and they keep going from there. Or I share the conversation. Or two people work through the same problem together. Nothing weird about t
I've seen this happen dozens of times. An engineering team finally ships a massive, much-needed fix—something that solves a long-standing headache described in three different GitHub issues—and the resulting announcement sounds like it was written by a mid-level PR agency intern trapped in a basemen
Docker starts today. After fourteen days of Git, the track moves to containers, and it opens with the least glamorous task available: install the packages and start the service. Both halves of today turned out to be about time. When something starts, how long it takes, and what still holds after a
