A ranking of the builders behind these apps needs a link between a person and a product, and we do not record one yet. When we do it will come from launch posts people wrote themselves. Business profiles only, never personal accounts.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) is conducting an internal review of a civilian casualty incident at a wedding during the strikes in Iran last Tuesday, U.S. officials say. Why it matters: While it still hasn't been confirmed that the incident was caused by the U.S. strike , it is one of the more significant civilian casualty incidents since the war began six months ago. The most significant civilian…
Bloomberg : Vals analysis: open-weight models performing multi-stage tasks, like building a web app, can have an environmental impact 10K times greater than simple queries — Benchmarker Vals AI finds that multi-stage tasks can require models to use exponentially more energy or water than simple queries do.
On September 3rd I launched Vesper , a cross-platform Christian prayer app for Android and iOS, as my entry in the RevenueCat 2026 Shipaton . This is not just a basic app thrown together quickly for this context, though: I have spent months building it and iterating on the features and design, as I am building it as a real production-grade application to bootstrap a business. I'm publishing this s…

We trust math. And the math shows that a model that uses five times as many tokens but achieves ten times better outcomes is economically superior, despite higher COGS. So, while charging per token seems to be the default strategy, it is a mistake for most of them. A foundation lab prices per token because token count is its actual cost – the compute it consumes to provide an answer. An Applicatio…
Officially, Nvidia's controversial DLSS 5 AI rendering was supposed to launch this evening with only a single game , only on Nvidia's latest RTX 50 GPUs, and with developers in full control of their artistic vision. But unofficially, modders have already ported a leaked version of DLSS 5 to run on just about anything while cranking sliders to the max. Now, Nvidia is changing its plans. DLSS 5 is s…
Most apps decide what to charge for. I spent longer deciding what I would refuse to charge for, and that turned out to be the harder problem — because the thing worth the most money is exactly the thing that stops being worth anything the moment you can buy it. My app records fishing catches: photo, species, place, time. Every catch is plotted on a world map. And the single most valuable piece of…
With AI expanding fast and the debt cycle contracting, the market is moving from abstract positioning to urgent business change. M&A activity is selectively rebounding, private capital is reengaging with clearer conviction, and AI-driven demand is pulling money toward data centers, power, grid capacity, and industrial infrastructure. That money is emptying out of everything else. That makes this a…
Build that takes eight minutes when it should take forty seconds is almost always a cache ordering problem. The dependency install runs every time because something above it changed, and the thing above it changes on every commit. Understanding the cache key makes this predictable rather than mysterious. How the key is computed Each instruction produces a layer, and each layer's cache key includes…
Reuters : Tesla says Cybercab rides are available in limited areas of Austin; the two-seater has no steering wheel or pedals, and 45 Cybercabs are registered in Texas — Tesla (TSLA.O) said on Thursday it was offering rides in “limited areas of Austin, Texas” in its two-seater Cybercab …
I have developed a fairly strong allergy to the AI slop filling some corners of the internet. It's not that I haven't seen impressive demonstrations of what AI models can do visually; it's just that the baseline creations made by most people are execrable at best and blandly monotonous when they aren't horrifying or malevolent. ChatGPT’s new Stickers feature didn't immediately strike me as a chanc…

At a private, closed-door event in Austin, Texas today, Tesla officially launched its gilded car of the future: the Cybercab. It's a huge milestone for Elon Musk, who has been hyping the imminent arrival of driverless cars for years and has bet the future of his company on AI, autonomous vehicles, and humanoid robots. It was an unusually muted event, with no livestream, no journalists, and a very…
They say the old ones are the best ones, and in the case of the Sony WH-1000XM4 over-ear headphones, there’s certainly a case to be made. While the now-iconic cans are six years old and have spawned two successors, we still rate them very highly here at TechRadar, especially when they can be picked up at a discounted price, such as AU$299.99 right now at Amazon . Yes, they have gone lower in price…
Dyson made headlines this week when it launched the CameraJet — an electric toothbrush that goes beyond traditional brushing by adding a water-floss function and even a camera that can actively see the spots in your mouth that require extra attention. Additionally, your flawed brushing habits can be livestreamed to you to help you improve your oral health. We’ve been fortunate enough to have alrea…

It has quite a basic appearance, with a lack of branding or any odd contours. There’s an RGB light…

Now, the former Microsoft CEO has been suspended by the NBA for a year, while the league says h…
I'm Jacob. I run DatePhotos AI, UGCfy AI, FragCut, and a couple of smaller things — all solo, all bootstrapped. No team, no funding, no designer. For about a year now, my de facto cofounder has been Claude. Last week, I shipped my fifth product, Tracetify. It took roughly three days. This post is partly about why I built it, but mostly about what a year of building alongside an AI model actually f…
Alex Konrad / Upstarts Media : Sources: Index Ventures dropped plans to invest in AI assistant Town after Instinct, which Index is backing, complained about a potential conflict of interest — Exclusive details on Town's new $90M fundraise at a $1B valuation, and the eleventh-hour cap table reshuffling behind it, per Upstarts sources.
As corporate data pipelines evolve into mission-critical production systems, the primary risk is no longer "sync failure"—it's not knowing why it succeeded or why it failed. Over the past five years, closed-source ELT tools such as Fivetran, Stitch, and Hevo have driven the adoption of the Modern Data Stack. Promising "no-code" setups and "data sync in 5 minutes," they significantly lowered the en…
