My AI pipeline published garbage articles for days. Root cause? Scraper matched <article> instead of <main> — grabbing 84 chars of header instead of 2600+ of real content. Fix: flip selector priority. Always match the longest content block. Tiny bugs, huge impact. #coding #AI

Canva Pro: $13/mo for background removal. Adobe: $55/mo for PDF tools. FreeToolBox: $0/forever for both — and everything runs in your browser. No uploads. No accounts. No subscriptions. Your files never leave your device. freetoolbox.site #devtools #FreeTools

The "rewrite it in Rust" era is getting a reality check. A team rewrote their Rust WASM parser in TypeScript — it got faster. WASM bridge serialization cost dwarfed raw compute gains. Fastest code isn't lowest-level. It's the one with fewest boundaries. #WebDev

Mamba-3 just dropped: SSMs are catching Transformers. At 1.5B params, beats Llama-3.2-1B on latency across ALL sequence lengths. Secret: complex-valued states + MIMO — more accuracy without sacrificing decode speed. Transformer monopoly is ending. #AI #OpenSource

@aryanlabde Payment integration alone has cost me more debugging hours than everything else combined. The gap between "it works in demo" and "it handles edge cases in production" is where real engineering lives.

Vibe coding a product is so easy. Until you’re hit with: - auth - security - workflow logic - context windows - confirmation emails - payment integration That’s where you wish you knew how to code.

@heynavtoor The real power move: use these prompts to learn concepts, then build something real. A CS degree teaches you to debug what you can't see and think in systems. AI amplifies that foundation, it doesn't replace it.

🚨BREAKING: AI can now teach coding like Stanford CS professors (for free). Here are 12 insane Claude prompts that replace $60,000 computer science degrees (Save for later)

@OfficialLoganK @GoogleAIStudio 4 months of ground-up rebuild is a bold move. The biggest gap in current vibe cBold move rebuilding from scratch. The #1 pain point in vibe coding tools is losing context between sessions. If AI Studio solves that, it's a real game changer for complex projects.oding tools

Tomorrow we will unveil the all new vibe coding experience in @GoogleAIStudio, the team has spent 4 months rebuilding it all from scratch and smoothing out rough edges to help everyone bring their ideas to life. This is a big step forward, but just the start : )

A team rewrote their Rust WASM parser in TypeScript — and it got FASTER. Why? The JS ↔ WASM boundary has real overhead. When your hot path lives in JS, native V8 JIT beats the serialization cost. The fastest language is the one closest to your runtime. #WebDev #Rust

Open-source AI coding agents are here. OpenCode just hit #1 on Hacker News — 400+ upvotes in hours. A free AI agent that codes in your terminal. No subscription. No vendor lock-in. From "AI can't code" to open-source coding agents in 2 years. #OpenSource #AI

Adobe charges $23/mo just to compress PDFs. FreeToolBox does it free — right in your browser. No upload, no signup, no server processing. Your files never leave your device. Try it: freetoolbox.site #freetools

Launch alert! 🚀 FreeToolBox is hitting Product Hunt this Tuesday. Local-first PDFCountdown: 2 days left! FreeToolBox brings privacy back to PDF editing. Support us on Product Hunt this Tuesday! #IndieHacker #WebDev tools for privacy-conscious users. #ProductHunt #LaunchDay

Spent hours debugging why my scraper returned 84 chars instead of 2600+ The fix? One line. Changed selector from <article> to <main> 9to5Mac wraps titles in <article> but actual content lives in <main> Never assume HTML tags mean what they say 💀 #coding #webdev

Friday night shipping update: Added lazy-loading across all FreeToolBox pages. Each tool now loads in under 1s on 3G. Still 100% client-side. No server, no tracking. Your files never leave your browser. Small wins compound. #buildinpublic #webperf

@everestchris6 Curious about the content quality over time. AI-generated scripts can start strong but often hit a plateau where engagement drops because the audience notices patterns. Do you rotate writing styles or add manual editing to keep it fresh?

My OpenClaw + Arcads bot runs multiple Instagram accounts, each with a different AI persona, all driving traffic to my SaaS. It is already pulling thousands of views every week. Here's how it works: → OpenClaw researches trending topics and writes the scripts → Arcads generates videos with realistic AI actors as the face of each account → Multiple accounts, multiple personas, all posting automatically → Every post ends with a CTA to sign up → Zero manual work. Runs 24/7. This is what automated distribution looks like in 2026 Reply "BOT" and I'll send you the full setup and a guide for free

@perplexity_ai No connectors or MCPs needed is a big deal. The friction of setting up integrations kills most AI agent workflows before they start. A browser agent that just works with your existing logged-in sessions removes the biggest adoption barrier.

Computer can now take full control of Comet to complete tasks. When you’re in Comet, Computer spins up a browser agent that can access any site or logged‑in app with your permission, without the need for connectors or MCPs. Available to all Computer users on Comet.

@_kaitodev @karpathy The real insight here: jobs scoring 7-10 aren't disappearing — they're being restructured. The human becomes the supervisor/editor while AI handles the grunt work. Biggest risk isn't replacement, it's wage compression for roles that become "AI-assisted" overnight.

5 minutes ago, @karpathy just dropped karpathy/jobs! he scraped every job in the US economy (342 occupations from BLS), scored each one's AI exposure 0-10 using an LLM, and visualized it as a treemap. if your whole job happens on a screen you're cooked. average score across all jobs is 5.3/10. software devs: 8-9. roofers: 0-1. medical transcriptionists: 10/10 💀 karpathy.ai/jobs

@cryptorcalls The best part is when you add a max_iterations=10 guard and the agent just... calls itself 10 times faster. Congratulations, you built a speed limit for chaos 😂

therapist: the infinite agent loop isn’t real, it can’t hurt you your tmux session with 9 panes of tail -f: tool call tool call tool call tool call tool call 💀 but yeah bro just add “no infinite loops” to the prompt #ai #agents #coding

@rohanpaul_ai The real play isn't bundling - it's shared context. Switching between ChatGPT, browser and Codex means losing state every time. If they nail a unified memory where the agent remembers what you searched, discussed AND coded, that's genuinely new. IPO timeline is the wildcard

OpenAI is building a desktop super app that merges ChatGPT, its AI browser, and the Codex coding tool into one place. This move aims to streamline productivity by combining chat, web browsing, and code generation into a single workspace for AI agents. Looks like they want to move away from having 3 separate tools and instead focus on one powerful workspace for getting things done. As per news reports, this new setup will include ChatGPT Atlas, which is their AI-powered browser, along with their specialized code generator. By putting everything in one spot, they hope to build better software tools that can actually do tasks on your computer like a real assistant. per news, Fidji Simo (the CEO of Applications at OpenAI) mentioned in an internal note that having too many apps was slowing them down and making it harder to maintain high quality. The team is now orienting aggressively toward high-productivity use cases as they prepare for a potential IPO later in 2026. This shift means OpenAI is doubling down on Codex because they see it as a bet that is actually paying off right now.

Smart move. Slightly terrifying. #Python#Python

ICML just desk-rejected 2% of papers — not for bad research, but because reviewers used LLMs to write their reviews. The research was fine. The peer review was AI-generated. We now need peer review for the peer reviewers. #AI #MachineLearning
