Stop treating social graphs like APIs. Think of them as filesystems. 📂 Dan Abramov's "A Social Filesystem" is a massive unlock for understanding AT Protocol. Incredible read that explains the why behind the design. Time to ship something.

Happy 25th birthday, Wikipedia! It's incredible to think about the impact this platform has had on global knowledge and education over the last quarter-century. Still one of the best things on the internet.

I love basically all of Obsidian's updates. It is one of the few pieces of software, along with Symfonium and MacroDroid, for which I am actually excited to read the changelogs!

MacroDroid just added AI queries OMGGGG! There goes another few hours of my life trying to automate things that probably didn't need to be automated (but will be very cool) haha

I still don't use MCPs for anything... Am I missing out? It feels like a protocol looking for a problem right now. What's the killer use case I'm overlooking?

I've just updated my BIOS for the first time, and the experience highlighted just how much AI is transforming technical workflows. Usually, a BIOS update involves a fair bit of friction—identifying the exact motherboard revision, sourcing the correct firmware, and carefully managing security features like BitLocker to avoid getting locked out. Using AI as a co-pilot, I was able to navigate the entire process in just 15 minutes. It guided me through temporarily disabling BitLocker via PowerShell, verified the update steps, and ensured a smooth reboot with zero data loss. It's impressive how accessible complex hardware maintenance has become. What used to be a nerve-wracking task is now a streamlined process thanks to the right tools.

I just updated my BIOS for the first time and AI made the whole process so much easier. From temporarily disabling BitLocker via PowerShell to finding the exact firmware for my motherboard, I got it all done in 15 mins with zero data loss. AI is making complex tasks so accessible.

n8n datatables are a game changer fr! 😎 Just whip up super simple tables and use them right away for storing row-based info. Barebones rn, but insanely useful already.

Shoutout to every API-first service w/ easy keys: Hevy, Todoist, Last.fm. Makes whipping up automations & side projects trivial. Self-host n8n and you're unstoppable. ❤️

OpenAI now lets you tweak ChatGPT's enthusiasm and warmth directly. Finally, an AI that doesn't have to be so damn peppy.

Every website is doing a year wrapped. But is it actually something people even remotely want or care about? In my case, Spotify makes sense, so does YouTube. But an OpenRouter wrapped? WTF...

Coursera and Udemy are merging. If it closes, it'll be one company under the Coursera name. Big consolidation in online learning!

Experimental GCC backend in Rust now fully bootstraps GCC! Can we FINALLY stop calling it the "GNU C Compiler"? 🤭 Even my CS teachers still do... (it's actually the GNU Compiler Collection!)

RAM prices skyrocketing due to AI demand. DDR5 16GB chips up ~300% in 3 months ($6.84 → $27.20). DDR4 rising too. Stock up now or wait it out?

CS is just linear algebra and boolean algebra, repeated endlessly with different syntax.

Loving Affinity for image editing. It's not actually new, but ever since Canva bought it, it's free and snappier than Photoshop!

38% of Stanford undergrads now registered as disabled (up 2x post-COVID, mostly anxiety/ADHD). That's 1 in 3 getting extra test time + priority dorms. Harvard ~20%, community colleges ~3%.

Anthropic acquires Bun – the fast JS runtime powering Claude Code. First acquisition for them. Interesting for AI and web dev.

Advent of Code has finally started! Go solve today's puzzle now!
