Video models got dramatically more usable in 2025, but creators still lose time to the same issues: motion wobble, face drift, weak camera control, and prompts that are interpreted differently across tools. This creator focused comparison uses the same five prompts and a clear evaluation rubric to help you choose a workflow, not just a model.

Coding agent skills are reusable, tool-driven workflows with a clear contract: inputs, boundaries, and verification. This guide shows how to design skills that stay stable over time by locking scope, proving results with checks, and

Inbox zero is a satisfying fantasy, but for many knowledge workers it fails because the inbox is not a to-do list. This post uses a multi-armed bandit framing to build a calm, lightweight system: a few rules, a small queue, and practical examples that help you choose what to do next without anxiety.

On device AI is not a vibe, it is a set of engineering tradeoffs: latency, privacy, battery, memory, and model size. This practical guide explains what on device really means in 2025, how mobile inference differs from cloud serving, and a realistic ExecuTorch tutorial path for shipping offline AI on a phone.

Smart TVs quietly talk to vendors, CDNs, analytics pipelines and ad systems. This engineer-focused network log shows how to capture DNS and endpoint traffic, what changes when you toggle privacy settings, and how to harden the device without breaking streaming or updates.

AI coding tools feel magical when the workflow has tight scope, fast feedback, and clear verification. They feel painful when they expand scope, skip proof, or force you into review debt. This review-style post measures three common tasks using time, edits, and bugs, then explains how to get consistent wins.

Old desktop software was built under brutal constraints: tiny memory, slow disks, limited graphics APIs, and UI patterns that had to be invented as you shipped. Those constraints forced design decisions that still map cleanly to modern engineering. Here are seven lessons, tied to memory, UI assumptions, file formats, and today’s product tradeoffs.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a tool calling protocol that lets an AI agent talk to external capabilities like files, web search, and internal services in a predictable, auditable way. This MCP tutorial explains the request and response shape, then builds a tiny MCP AI agent with two tool connectors, plus the MCP security rules that keep it safe.

A serious, repeatable benchmark you can run for coding agents: refactor, bug fix, write tests, explain code. Metrics: time-to-reviewable output, correctness, diff size, and hand-holding rate — with a rubric that keeps the comparison honest.

A research playlist is more than bookmarks: it is a structured flow you can reuse, share, and maintain. This guide shows a simple system for capture, triage, annotation, and review using ClipNotebook.

Very small pages often trip quality checks and heuristics across crawlers, ad systems, and corporate scanners. Here is how to reproduce the issue, inspect headers and compression, and ship a minimal site that still looks trustworthy.

Mini frameworks feel like acceleration at first. This smell test shows how wrappers, config templating, and invented vocabulary quietly increase cost, and ends with a decision tree for build vs adopt.

Reducing JavaScript is not about ideology. It is about less work for the browser, fewer failure modes, and a UI that stays fast and accessible. Here is the measurement-driven process I used, what improved, and where JS is still worth it.
