Day 21 Updates for Luxiom 🚀 I was busy with another event this weekend, managed to spend time on Luxiom today. Final polish before app store submission!! [1] Proper Guest user support: Added Guest user so people can try out app. It's intentionally lightweight for tryouts [2] Spent way too long polishing the search micro interaction XD, but it was absolutely worth it. Tap icon to reveal a search bar underneath my layer card [3] Added Firebase Remote Config Lore: I had cloudflare worker for map, now switched completely to OpenfreeMap provider. I had a toggle in client, removed it and added a remote config just in case so I can divert traffic to my own implementation if things go south [4] For Unsplash, added KV cache for rate limiting.

Digital India is a joke. Airtel and Jio are the biggest jokes. Their customer service is terrible. I've been facing internet issues for the past two weeks and have filed multiple complaints, yet the problem remains unresolved. Every time I call customer support, it's the same scripted response: "We're working on it." It's been more than two weeks. The funny part is that they never forget to send reminders asking me to pay my bill on time. They're clearly losing the game. We used to have multiple telecom providers, but now we're basically left with two major players, and neither seems interested in investing enough in infrastructure. Everything feels like it's running on a temporary fix. What's worse is that this happens every three months. I'm paying for a 100 Mbps connection, but I was only getting around 40 Mbps on average. Now the speed has dropped to less than 1 Mbps. Whenever I try contacting local Jio support, they're always unavailable. Sometimes it's "Sunday," sometimes they're "busy," and sometimes there's no response at all. What kind of service is this? And don't even get me started on the Jio app UI... it's an absolute mess. Fuck @reliancejio. I genuinely urge people to stop paying this company for broadband services. Their customer support is awful. The only time they seem interested in contacting you is when they want your money. @TRAI @reliancegroup @RajeevRC_X

Is Obsidian the greatest tech with no haters today?

Elon launching rockets and becomes the first trillionaire You are still focused on a crud app trying to hit 2k a month We gotta think bigger gang

> Build a model called Fable > A Fable is a short story with a moral > Fable gets nuked by US government > What's the moral of the fable?

Dear US government, Since you've just blocked Fable and Mythos on critical national security grounds, here are some other tools that pose a similar threat to the American people: - Microsoft Teams - SAP - Salesforce - Jira - Outlook Please do what you must to save America 🇺🇸

The main difference between a Junior and Senior Backend Engineer Junior: Checks the code, panics when the code is correct but errors keep piling up Senior: Checks the code, the version of code running in K8s, the API version, the DB and service health metrics, etc Junior doesn't trust the code. Senior doesn't trust the code and the surrounding infra.

This behaviour from a Staff Engineer breaks the trust juniors place in seniors to model how engineering should be done. These tenured engineers are there to raise the standard of work in the first place.

"mom, how did we get so poor?" "your father had Claude Max, ChatGPT Pro, Cursor Pro... and built absolutely nothing."

It depends. Ebay uses a variant of A for fetching catalogues: ebay.com/b/Collectibles-Art/… ebay.com/b/Pottery-Glass/870… [1] You don't need 30-40 endpoints, most frameworks support path variables GET /api/v1/products/{category} [2] Cleaner edge caching, ?category=books&category=electronics is different from ?category=electronics&category=books product/books and product/electronics can be purged and cached much more easily [3] Filtering, this is where you need a variant of B. Best answer: Use both A and B. A for durable catalog, B for filter API in app

Backend Interview Question: Which API design scales better? What's your choice?

Claude: "Mythos is the most powerful model. Nobody is ready for it." US government:

Dario and @AnthropicAI tonight... Nobody will notice a little rename, right?

DAILY TECH NEWS ROUNDUP 🚨 Everything important that happened in tech during the last 24 hours: • Anthropic’s newly released Claude Fabel 5 Mythos dominated AI discussions across X, Reddit, and developer communities. Early users praised its reasoning, long context performance, and creative capabilities, but many also criticized the pricing, with cost emerging as the biggest concern despite strong reception. • The European Commission published its Code of Practice for marking and labeling AI generated content under the AI Act. The move gives developers and platforms a clearer compliance framework as AI generated media becomes increasingly widespread. • Google and Meta failed to secure a new trial in a closely watched youth social media addiction case. The decision keeps pressure on major platforms as regulators and courts continue scrutinizing the impact of social products on younger users. • The European Union and South Korea deepened their technology partnership through a new digital cooperation pact. The agreement is aimed at strengthening digital trade, technology collaboration, and long term economic resilience. • Uber sued New York City over a new driver protection law that the company says would force it to retain drivers it does not want on the platform. The case could have significant implications for how gig economy platforms manage workers and marketplace safety. • ASML reached an agreement with Dutch unions that reduces the scale of previously planned workforce cuts. The development is being closely watched across the semiconductor industry given ASML's central role in advanced chip manufacturing. • Investors continued digesting Apple's newly unveiled Siri AI platform and broader Apple Intelligence strategy following WWDC. Developer discussions remain focused on Apple's deeper AI integration, Gemini powered capabilities, and whether the company can accelerate its position in the AI race. • Blackstone's growing role in AI infrastructure drew major attention after its expanding partnerships across the AI ecosystem. The firm's investments spanning Google TPU infrastructure, Anthropic deployments, and large scale data center assets highlight how capital providers are becoming critical players in the AI boom. • Semiconductor and AI infrastructure stocks remained a major focus for markets as investors reassessed demand for advanced AI compute. Ongoing discussions around chip supply, AI data centers, and hyperscaler spending continue to dominate technology investment narratives. • Developer communities continued actively discussing AI model training reliability and infrastructure engineering challenges. A widely shared machine learning discussion highlighted how low level numerical precision issues can masquerade as failed research results, resonating strongly with practitioners. • Cybersecurity communities closely followed reports involving unauthorized access to internal GitHub repositories. The incident generated significant discussion around software supply chain security and internal development environment protections. • Technology leaders and policymakers continued debating AI governance after recent calls for stronger oversight of frontier AI systems. The discussion remains one of the most closely watched policy conversations across the AI industry as capabilities continue advancing rapidly. • Across developer and AI communities, attention remains concentrated on AI agents, enterprise deployment, inference infrastructure, and the economics of large scale model usage. Community discussions suggest organizations are increasingly shifting from experimentation toward production adoption.

Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use. Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.

Man this mango from my tree is mutated, huge asf 😂

x.com/alexwtlf/status/206332… Codex was not popular before but right now, it's on par and is even the preferred option for many developers. Change is the only constant, new tech is being created at breakneck speeds

Hackerrank open sourced their ATS system, hope other companies do this too. It's sad to get a generic "sorry, we found a better candidate" even when your experience matches the company requirements 🥲
