  • Cloudflare vinext: One Engineer, One Week, and a Whole Lot of AI

    So Cloudflare just dropped something wild.

  • Shepherd Turns Your Browsing Guilt Into a Tiny Sheep That Judges You

    I’ve tried a lot of productivity trackers over the years. Most of them follow the same formula — install, configure a bunch of categories, remember to hit “start” every time you sit down, forget about it after three days, uninstall.

Built by [VectifyAI](https://github.com/vectifyai), it takes a completely different approach to retrieval-augmented generation… Continue reading

    So, if you were anywhere near financial Twitter or Hacker News this weekend, you already know: Anthropic dropped a bomb on Monday.

  • Firefox 148 AI Controls: Finally, a Browser That Lets You Say “No Thanks” to AI

[Firefox 148 just dropped today](https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/ai-controls/), and the headline feature isn’t some shiny new AI trick — it’s the opposite. Mozilla added a centralized AI Controls section to the browser settings with a single toggle called “Block AI Enhancements.” Flip… Continue reading
