I tried Claude Design to design a new feature in my app.
It speeds up UI prototyping over vibe coding prototypes.
The prototypes are interactive and it’s possible to run them side-by-side.
The hand-off to Claude Code is janky but it’s quite new so it’ll improve.
Check the post for details.
Google search for “SSIA meaning” with the AI overview starting with a long passage of pure CSS rather than the answer.
Oh, what happened to Google’s AI overview?
There are many use cases that do not require the performance improvements provided by new generations and would instead benefit from maintaining previous performance at a lower price point.
I hope Google will soon offer an "Extra Lite" Gemini model.
Has Google killed the cheap Gemini models?
From Gemini 1.5 Flash to Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite, the cost increased between 5x and 20x depending on the language used, English or Japanese.

If you are a reflexive naysayer or a pessimist, know that, and force yourself to find a way in to wonder, surprise and delight.
If you are an optimist who gets very excited and tends to assume that everything will improve: know that, and force yourself to mind real cautionary tales.

In the current times of AI, I really like this advice from Charity Majors from the article below:
The best advice I can give anyone is: know your nature, and lean against it.
I released my first mobile app on iOS and Android.
There is such a contrast between how fast building with AI is, and how slow the mobile app release process is.
I wrote about the whole experience in this post.
Google is hot right now, back to back days announcing big things 😳
Sunday: Universal Commerce Protocol
Monday: Apple picked Gemini for Siri
A very easy to understand review of the paper Too Big to Think: Capacity, Memorization, and Generalization in Pre-Trained Transformers,".
Large models simply memorize the training data.
Smaller models learn the rule because they don't have enough "brain space" to memorize every individual answer.
A screenshot of the Hacktivate app’s purchase complete screen. It’s a green modal on top of the game displaying fireworks.
Even with years of experience in software development, the tutorial was pretty fun, I’m hooked.
Ben Thompson argues that while AI is obviously in a bubble, it will create long term benefits in the form of investments in chip fabs in the U.S. and power plants.
This is similar to how we got dark fiber and train tracks as infrastructure out of the internet and railway bubbles.
Quick intro to Claude Skills
Simplicity is the point.
The most significant limitation of MCP is token usage
Almost everything an MCP can do, can also be handled by a CLI tool instead. LLMs know how to call cli-tool --help, which means you don’t have to spend many tokens describing how to use them
Curiosity.
One must be willing to understand others and understand systems.
Isn’t it the bug introduced in iOS26?
If so, it’s fixed in the iOS26.1 beta.
Even Google News is impacted.

Simply don't submit "something that will harm them" to a referendum whose outcome you are legally or practically required to implement.
What happens to a driving Waymo when AWS us-east-1 goes down? 😅
Is everything processed locally?
It’s an Alphabet company, so if something is remote, I’d expect it to be on GCP or Google internal platforms, but with external dependencies, isn’t every product 6 degrees of separation from us-east-1?
Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!
This is the first article I read about spec-driven development and this is a good introduction.
I thought spec meant PRD, but it’s more of a detailed technical design.
As a profession, we were not good at documentation before AI, so this will not suit many orgs.
And it seems overkill in most cases.
