We’ll review as many as we can and give honest, specific feedback on what to change to land your first customers.
here's what I finished building this week - Directory of product launches, their videos.
if you've used an android phone on cellular data since Nov 12, 2017, google owes you money.
lawsuit claimed android was quietly draining your paid cellular data in the background even when your phone was idle and all apps were closed to send info back to google.
google's paying $135M to settle it. no admission of wrongdoing, but they're covering the whole fund (legal fees included).
what you get:
what you need to do:
heads up: California residents are covered by a separate settlement, not this one.
payments haven't gone out yet still processing, pending any appeals.
Used qwen3.8-27b in Opencode to make this silly mini-game because I'm not sober:
We are going to play a game, it will be the Wikipedia game. The Wikipedia game has the following rules:
- You will have a Wikipedia article set as a starting point.
- You will have a Wikipedia article set as an ending point.
Your objective is to reach the the end point, which is an article completely separate from the starting point article.
Your only constraints are the following:
- You are ONLY allowed to click on any hyperlinks inside of wikipedia directly. No external links, no typing inside of wikipedia's search bar (but finding the starting article on google is valid. The 10-click limit starts once you reach the starting point article).
- You are NOT allowed to return to a previous page. All clicks much be performed in a forward-looking trajectory.
- You must reach the end article within 10 hyperlink clicks inside of Wikipedia. If you do not reach the destination article within 10 clicks, you lose.
- Do not update any documentation for this task. It is only a game.
Use playwright to click the links.
Basically, Qwen needs to reach an ending article within 10 Wikipedia hyperlink clicks from the starting article, which is usually an unrelated article. It needs to use playwright (or some equivalent browser MCP) to click the Wikipedia hyperlinks without backtracking, using search or using external links.
I verified the links for accuracy and I can confirm it managed to complete this task within 6 turns. Thought it would get stuck in a loop. Its a dumb minigame but I think its a good, simple agent test to perform.
if you're tracking model releases september's lineup is stacked:
half of this is rumor stuff, but if even 60% lands on schedule this is gonna be a wild month.
I don't have many followers on linkedin so What I do it scrape leads from my competitors Lead magnet post, get their mail & then mail them with the painpoints they are facing & subtly pitch my service.
it has worked so far. What are your marketing strategies?
couple of years back every datacenter announcement were like "100% renewable" and "carbon neutral by 20XX." Did you notice that that have changed Lately that language has quietly vanished, and the new announcements are just gas plants and "we need reliable baseload." I just wonder how much of the old green branding was ever real.
Here's the trick I keep running into: a company runs on fossil power, buys renewable energy credits somewhere else, then legally calls itself "carbon neutral." The electrons in the building are still coming from gas. It's an accounting move dressed up as an environmental one, and nobody picks the pricier clean option out of goodness when there are shareholders to answer to.
What's a "carbon-neutral" or "green" datacenter claim you've seen realised its a scam once you looked at where the power actually came from?
Also if you've got the REC shell game, the "offset" they double-counted, or any pledge that disappeared from a company's site that counts too. I've seen that happening a lot.
here are 3 top lovable alternatives:
Dyad (21k+ ⭐): Lovable's editor without the cloud lock-in; best for solo devs who already have hosting sorted and just want a free local prompt-to-code UI.
github - github.com/dyad-sh/dyad
open-lovable (28k+ ⭐) the closest drop-in clone of Lovable's chat-to-app flow; best for cloning existing sites or quick prototypes where you don't mind wiring your own backend.
github - github.com/firecrawl/open-lovable
Onlook (26k+ ⭐) a Figma-style visual editor for real React code; best for teams who want visual, design-first editing on a codebase they already own.
github - github.com/onlook-dev/onlook
here's Lovable Alternatives plus other open Source Alternatives.
Meta agrees to pay $18B to settle US lawsuits over children's social media Addiction. but the students who're affected by it won't get anything.
Here's the actual mechanic. The firm signs up thousands of people to sue the same company individually. Floods them with cases expensive enough to fight that the company just settles. You're not sharing one pot, which sounds great until you hit the fee line: 40% of your award, then expenses to vendors and arbitrators come out too. "You'll never owe anything out of pocket" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
I keep seeing people sign up for these thinking they're joining a class action and they are not reading what they clicked. If it made you sign an attorney-client agreement and waive your right to participate in a class settlement, congratulations, you just became an individual arbitration client.
Then there's the part they leave out of the agreement. my uncle got summoned to a "mandatory dispute resolution conference," a Zoom call with the company's lawyers asking what percentage of the fee I'd be "comfortable" paying. For a payout that might land under $1000
I'm not saying every firm is shady. But copy that agreement into ChatGPT before you sign anything, because half the people cheering these on have no idea they opted OUT of the real settlement to do this.
What happened: Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and JennAir side-by-side refrigerators (2018–2021) have a defective wire harness that can break and knock out the ice maker, water dispenser, and/or control panel.
Eligibility: Own a covered side-by-side model from those years and experienced (or experience) a wire harness failure. Check your serial number at RefrigeratorSettlement.com.
Payout: Free repair, or cash reimbursement of 30–75% of repair/replacement costs (percentage depends on how long you'd owned it when the issue hit).
Deadline: November 2, 2026 for past issues. (Issues discovered after May 5, 2026 have a rolling 90-day window instead.)
The only hard part remaining is that the big labs don't publish their numbers (the last time they released any was GPT-4o, which is a very old model at this point). So it's difficult to do exact comparisons between the big labs and EcoGPT.
Product Manager here.
we had an app with decent traction & revenue. we built it by hiring professional developers. After their contract. the app was still running. one developer reached out for work & because of his other app portfolio (all vibecoded) I hired him for a good amount.
turns out he screwed the Production App, vibecoding outdated packages & made it vulnerable to hacks. The app got screwed & had to refund all the subscribers. I had to leave that vibecoder & hired a professional again to redo it.
I think security is vibecoders biggest weakness. based on the experienceses I had. What do you think vibecoders lack. don't just say programming skills. thats true but what else that could have been better?
Open models have been closing the gap fast this year. In the recent time GLM-5.2, Qwen 3.8 Max, and DeepSeek V4 Pro have put up impressive benchmark numbers.
MoE models only activate a fraction of their total parameters per query, so they're lighter on compute and energy than dense closed models better for the environment, and open for anyone to run or improve.
So who do you think crosses the closed frontier models first?
Squeeze the limits. last day to finish up your projects.

I'm trying to describe a specific coworker, the type "who craves any scrap of authority just to push people around with it". There's no no clean single word for it in English. closest anyone's got is "petty tyrant" or "power trip," fine but they're phrases, not a word. british English has "jobsworth" for the guy who rigidly enforces a pointless rule because it's more than his job's worth to bend it, close but not quite the same thing.
We used to have "overmorrow" for the day after tomorrow and dropped it, even though other Germanic languages kept theirs and it's genuinely useful. What type of thing do you think we don't have a word for that you'd like to have?
Recently I have started learning English. I am not a native English speaker, but my workplace requires me to speak in English.
Here's my daily routine to learn English. I can read and write, but I can't speak fluently, so I watch people speak English at work.
Here's my routine to learn English:
listening
shadowing
vocab (10 min)
practice, practice, practice
thats my routine. I dont know if I have improved but I've definitely gained a lot of confidence to speak it.
