Have been experimenting in HCI for past few weeks. First demo - a new way of interacting with your MacBook!! it’s Boolean as of now, but I think I can make it support more actions… Would you use this interaction to perform actions??

I was using Browserless for dynamic image generation from code. Then they increased pricing by a lot so I built my custom solution using puppeteer. It used to crash a lot when concurrent requests came. I experiemented with 100s of improvements for months - that made it lil more reliable, but not perfect. Then few months back I asked Opus to make the service robust and should never crash. It worked for 30mins, tested everything, for 3 days and finally fixed it, forever! I didnt get everything it did, but still learnt 1-2 new things. I now have a private Browserless running on my server, at one-third price :)

Damn...Chatgpt generated an image in 10s for me! 😮 Did image generation get some super-boost recently?

Hackers are surely working day n night to hack software. But who is working on finding these exploits before the hackers do?
Just got off the phone with the most intelligent person I know. He said this is COVID 2.0. Everything on the internet is going to get hacked. One by One. It'll start affecting people close to you and one day a big bank will get penetrated and their data will be wiped clean. Thousands of accounts will show $0 and there will be no way of recovering their true balance. When this happens we will go on grid lock down. They will shut down the internet all over the world for 3 months to patch every single exploitable bug with the help of super advanced AIs. This will cause mass panic and chaos. You need to stock up on food, water, gold, silver, guns, ammo, and cash. ASAP. Rumors are that this global shutdown will start on November 17th.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
No credible source reports a planned global internet shutdown; the post cites only an unnamed friend and "rumors." The verifiable Nov 17 event is a routine FEMA/FCC Emergency Alert System test, about one minute on TV and radio. tvtechnology.com/regulatory-leg… techtimes.co.uk/fema-prueba-si…

But, for whom? 🤔
Next week will be an exciting week for Antigravity! Lots of shipping will happen.

I built a mac app for a person who had put a reddit post explaining his problem and how current apps don't solve it. I built the app and put it out there as a comment. He tried and didn't like it. Now this might look like a failed project - done for just one person and even he didn't use it. But a problem never belong's to just one person. That app now gets 2-3 sales every month, just from that reddit comment I had put! No marketing anywhere else. Internet is beautiful, no? Just build more.

Finally started to pick up again... No hint on what happened yet.
scribbble suddenly getting low number of sales. all numbers look usual, no idea why sale is dropping. if there was a product that tells me why sales drop/increase it would be very useful!!

Possibly the only pop song ever written about hypervisors. 🎵 Snapshots. Clones. A bridge about AI agents. A chorus you'll hum during your next update. Watch it, then reply with the timestamp that got you 👇 ▶ youtube.com/watch?v=lZQWiN5W… Tag the teammate who needs this song.

Organizational behaviour 🤣
Security called me at 6:12 AM today. "Patch every PHP server immediately." I asked what happened. "Two critical vulnerabilities. Remote code execution. No authentication required." Cool. How many PHP servers do we have? According to inventory: 12 According to reality: Nobody knows. We found one running WordPress. Three running old internal tools. One under someone's desk. Two inside vendor appliances. A forgotten employee directory from 2016. And a server named: PHP-OLD-DO-NOT-TOUCH Naturally, that one runs payroll exports. Then we found a PHP 5.6 box. I asked who owned it. The documentation said: BRIAN. Brian left in 2019. We called Brian. He said: "Oh wow, that's still running?" Excellent. By 8 AM, leadership joined the incident call. CEO: "Can hackers actually get in?" Security: "Potentially yes." CEO: "Without a password?" Security: "Yes." CEO: "Then why do WE need passwords?" Not the lesson. Finance asked if we could wait until the weekend to patch because downtime affects revenue. Security explained that the alternative was letting strangers execute code on our servers. Finance asked for a cost comparison. At 9:17, someone suggested temporarily taking the vulnerable websites offline. Marketing refused. "Our campaign is live." So for the next hour, the company officially decided maintaining a landing page for 20% off webinar registration was more important than preventing remote server takeover. We finally patched everything we could find. Then our scanner discovered another PHP server. Hostname: TEMP-PHP-2014 Uptime: 4,512 days. Nobody knows what it does. Nobody owns it. Nobody can shut it down. But every time we block network access, the warehouse stops printing shipping labels. Security has classified it as critical infrastructure. It is running PHP 5.4. The vulnerability has existed longer than half our employees. The emergency patch took four hours. Finding out what PHP actually runs took eleven. The internet isn't held together with code. It's held together with servers everyone is afraid to turn off.
