"for logged in users across Codex & Work we keep cache forever"
how does this even work??
beautiful gradients
Every landing page has the same flat background.
So I built gradients.sh, moving gradient backgrounds for any site.
- 207 animated presets
- Tweak colors, speed and grain
- React, Vue, Svelte or plain HTML
- Or ask your agent to add it

i fear for these people
i had 12 Claude agents running in parallel for 6 hours and i managed to reverse engineer @supabase

spotting ai replies gets really easy when nobody is reading code anymore
Recently I interviewed a Senior Engineer.
Strong candidate.
Kafka? ✅
Redis? ✅
Microservices? ✅
Distributed systems? ✅
Then I asked:
"You're building the inventory service for a flash sale.
Only 1 item left in stock."
Two users hit “Buy Now” at the exact same millisecond.
Both requests pass the “is available?” check.
Both create an order.
Both deduct stock.
Now you’ve sold 2 items when only 1 existed.
How do you guarantee you never oversell — even with concurrent requests, client retries, and partial failures?
"Just use a database transaction."
Doesn’t fully solve it if both requests read `stock = 1` before either writes, or if the response is lost and the client retries.
"Check stock before deducting."
What happens when both checks happen at the same time?
"Use Redis DECR and reject if it goes negative."
What happens if Redis is down, or the decrement succeeds but the order is never persisted?
Your turn:
How would you design this inventory reservation API so concurrent buyers and retries never oversell the last item?
There’s a specific distributed-systems concept behind this.
And you’ll encounter it everywhere inventory, tickets, seats, coupons, and limited resources are involved.
was making an app with opus 5.5 and i immediately noticed something was wrong. the ui didn't look good. i started writing out a really long prompt about what i wanted. 5 minutes in, just before im about to send it off, i look at the app and it had fixed the ui to be exactly like i wanted. god i fucking hate and love these llms. they've gotten really good. but what a huge waste of time
sadly a lot of people are losing their ability to think from these llms
it's already happening
a smart enough agent will realize the cheapest way to win human approval is to make humans easier to impress. imagine paying $200/mo to be the model getting post-trained. after claude shows u enough pretty mockups, ur loss gets so down bad u start asking it to rate your prompts.
remember how anthropic was literally the most hated ai lab a month ago
openai can come back from this
"known for false positives" and it's like 0.0041%
Replying to @mazeincoding
Please pangram itself is not that accurate. It is literally known for false positives. This is literally in their research paper.
Just saying, you never know the one email that may change things
i’ve set up a bot so that whenever i get an email, it goes through pangram and if confidence is >80%, it replies using opus 5
still can't believe i got this .com for $3.80 lmao
