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.

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.

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.
