Hi everyone, I’m plasma. I’m based in Silicon Valley and work in developer advocacy, mostly around AI APIs and developer tools. I started out as an indie developer, so I’m especially interested in the practical side of building AI products: choosing models, managing costs, building agents and automa
If you build applications with several LLM providers, the operational overhead starts to grow surprisingly quickly. Different providers may mean different API keys, billing dashboards, SDK conventions, model names, rate limits, and error formats. An AI API gateway tries to simplify this by providing
Amazon’s Prime Day is on, and it’s happening for the next four days. Prime members can jump into the deals now until the sale officially ends at 3:01AM ET / 12:01AM PT June 27th. Many discounts will remain the same throughout the duration. We’ve been covering Prime Day in-depth since the shopping ev
Jos Benschop is climbing a ladder to get to the top of his newest machine. It’s a bit of a schlep. The contraption is the size of a double-decker bus—more than 150 tons of gleaming precision-milled aluminum covered in thousands of snaking tubes, colored cables, and pressurized tanks. From the ground
India is home to about 60% of the world’s wild Asian elephants, and around 80% of the animals’ habitat lies outside protected areas, according to the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change. That brings people and wildlife into close contact, and clashes can turn lethal: There have been
China’s new GLM 5.2 model is convincing developers to ditch expensive AI subscriptions for a powerful, free alternative. Here’s why it’s a threat.
My colleagues and I have tested over a hundred phone accessories in the last year and these are our favorite early Prime Day deals going on right now.
Looking for something new to watch? We've picked the best shows currently dominating Netflix's top 10 list, including the new No. 1 thriller based on a Harlan Coben story.
The problem I review a lot of pull requests. Not because I'm a reviewer by trade, but because I'm a solo developer running a few Chrome extensions. Every PR that comes in — whether it's from a contributor or my own — needs to be reviewed. At some point, I realized I was losing 2 hours a day just dec
If you've ever tried to add FareHarbor booking to a WordPress site, you've probably noticed something: FareHarbor's own documentation is sparse, and most WordPress tutorials don't cover it at all. What You Need Before Starting Active FareHarbor account with at least one bookable item Your shortname
From Text to Vectors: The Complete Story The Story Starts: Why Can't We Just Search for Words? 👦 Nephew: Uncle! Phase 1 was done. Now we have clean chunks. Can't we just search for keywords? 👨🦳 Uncle: Let me ask you something. Someone applies for a job and says: Resume says: "I managed a team of
Quick take Karpenter's defaults are tuned for compute cost, not for your workload's tolerance for disruption. Six settings decide whether consolidation saves you 40% or causes a Sev-2 every Tuesday. Tune them once and the autoscaler stops being a footgun. If you only have 90 seconds, this is the sha
Two Tables, One URL: Solving Inertia.js State Collisions If you've worked with Inertia.js + TanStack Table for server-side filtering and pagination, you know how satisfying the pattern feels. A single router.get() call gives you a lot for free: Filter state lives in the URL Links are shareable Brows
Questions like “What is good and evil?” usually collapse reasoning systems: they mix values, facts, culture, biology, ethics, psychology, and metaphysics into one contradictory space. Most models smooth the contradiction, average it, or fall into moral clichés. The A11 architecture does the opposite
Sipcode is live on Product Hunt as of today. Local proxy plus MCP server for Claude Code. It rewrites tool output (Read, Bash, Grep) before the model sees it, removing redundancy without dropping information. On my own 3,567,170-token dogfood corpus: 62.6% median tool-output savings, range 37.4 to 8
The director hangs up, a little dazed. His offshore dev, based in Manila, hasn't replied for three days. The "Pay" button of his e-commerce site has been returning a 500 error since Monday morning, right in the middle of a newsletter campaign. Revenue is dropping at €4,200/day in lost sales. He's ca
Most developers underestimate how hard messaging systems really are. A basic chat demo with WebSockets is easy to build. A production-grade messaging platform like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or Slack is a completely different engineering problem. The hard part is not rendering messages in the UI.
The bill is the part nobody talks about when they demo AI pipelines. You see the cool output, the semantic matching, the ranked results. You don't see the spreadsheet where you realize each token costs real money. I was building an AI scoring pipeline for a job board platform that ingests listings f
TL;DR: What gadgets, tools, furniture and whatnot do I need for an ideal desk setup for a tinkerer/programmer/gamer? Leave a comment and give it your all! Image is AI generated for the lack of a better option, but I kinda like it. New year, new everything, I guess. Yes, I know, it's June, but the la
Pull Requests are a normal part of working with GitHub. You write code in a branch, push it to GitHub, then open a Pull Request so your team can review and merge it. Most developers create Pull Requests from the GitHub website. That works fine. But once you get comfortable with the terminal, you can
