ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity do not recommend the same products. I measured it.

Everyone talks about "getting recommended by AI" as if AI is one thing. It is not. I put the same 40 buying questions to ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity on the same day, read every answer, and counted which products each one named. The three do not agree, and the size of the disagreement surprised me. Here is what came back. Across the 39 questions where all three answered, they named 437 distinc...

Nowadays, websites are opened on different devices such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers. Since each device has a different screen size, a website should be designed in a way that it looks good and works properly on all devices. For example, a website may have t...

CHIPS Won't Restore a Third-Party Chat Session by Itself

A partitioned cookie solves one narrow problem: it lets an embedded origin keep a separate cookie jar for each top-level site. That can help an iframe chat widget remember a handle, but it does not reconstruct a conversation by itself. Imagine chat.example embedded on shop-a.com and shop-b.com. With CHIPS, the browser keys a Partitioned cookie by both the embedded site and the top-level site. The...

Pushing the idea of a new Staff Engineer role and defining it's purpose

Hey, 14YOE, have worked as Lead/Tech Lead for around 5 years. In this last company, which I relocated to (different country, and culture), I have been there for 2 years as a normal senior engineer. We are without a manager or any tech lead in our team for around 6 months. We basically didnt report to anyone during this period, just working together the PMs. Other thing to consider is that, no one ...

The Metaverse Failed. Augmented Reality Didn't.

Why spatial computing might find its second act in science, education, and low-budget development For a stretch of 2021 and 2022, it looked like computing was about to move somewhere else entirely. Meta rebranded around the idea, Microsoft bet HoloLens and Mesh on it, and a wave of startups raised on the premise that avatars and virtual land were the next platform shift — on the scale o...

I Built a React Performance Analyzer Because Lighthouse Wasn't Telling Me Why

I was working on a React project when I ran into a performance problem. The application worked. The Lighthouse score wasn't terrible. But something still felt wrong. Some interactions felt sluggish. Components were rendering more than I expected. And whenever I found a performance problem, I had the same question: Why is this happening? Lighthouse is great at telling us about the performance...

Building a look-first AI image generator instead of another blank prompt box

Most AI image tools still begin the same way: Here is a blank prompt box. Now describe exactly what you want. That is powerful if you already know how to write prompts. But for many users, especially when the goal is visual style, the hardest part is not generation. It is deciding what to ask for. I have been building BlingBling Up, an AI image generator focused on a different workflow: Bro...

Nvidia Is Buying a Call Option on Power

Nvidia's reported investment in Lancium looks small next to the numbers usually attached to AI infrastructure. Up to $3 billion is not small money, but it sits beside $500 billion Stargate headlines, $50 billion data-center leases, and the kind of capex guidance that makes a normal industrial cycle look sleepy. That scale can hide the more useful signal. Nvidia sells the accelerators, and now it i...

The AI Price War Just Changed How I Architect Software, and Most Devs Haven't Noticed

Everyone's watching the AI price war for the wrong reason. The headlines are about how cheap tokens got. The actual story is what cheap tokens do to how you should be architecting software right now. Here's what changed, and why it matters more than the price cut itself. Models aren't one thing anymore, they're tiers The major labs have quietly split their lineups into tiers. Cheap, f...

Nvidia Is Buying the Part of AI Nobody Can pip install

Nvidia is reportedly putting up to $3 billion into Lancium, a Texas power-infrastructure developer tied to the Stargate data-center project. The reported structure is simple enough. An initial $2 billion buys roughly 20% of Lancium. Another $1 billion may follow if grid-connection milestones are hit. That last clause is the useful part. The AI industry has spent two years talking as if the bottl...

The median MCP server costs 3,150 tokens before your agent calls anything

Every MCP server you connect sends its full tool list to the model before the model does anything. You pay for that list on every single turn, whether the agent uses one of those tools or none of them. I had a rough sense this was expensive. I did not have a number. So I went and measured it. The method The MCP directory I maintain has about 10,500 servers with a remote HTTP endpoint....

The default axis-lock finally has an off switch

You built a map. Or a canvas, or a wide diagram — anything scrollable on both axes. The user drags at a rough 45 degrees and the view slides sideways. Or straight down. Never diagonally. Somewhere between the touchpad and the viewport, the browser decided you meant one axis and latched onto it. That behaviour has a name: scroll axis locking, sometimes just "railing". Until now you had no CSS hand...
