Attack of the Vibe Coded Photoshop Clones Over the last several months I have been tracking AI guys trying to create vibe coded clones of popular apps, especially Adobe’s apps which have always been the most pirated apps since the 90s. There are now about a dozen vibe coded attempts to clone Photoshop and some other Adobe apps, not including dozens of forks of them. People like this aren't just op...

As Anthropic barrels toward a potential $2 trillion market cap on the Nasdaq, one research firm is valuing the artificial intelligence company at a mere $150 billion and says Wall Street is about to face an "unprecedented test of investor gullibility." In a report on Tuesday, independent financial research provider New Constructs called Anthropic's upcoming offering the "most ridiculous IPO of 202...
Will Linux phones become a viable alternative to the Android/iOS duopoly?
96 min read
by Amos Batto (2026-10-05), License: CC BY 4.0, Download: PDF, ODT Five years ago, Linux phones looked like they were poised to become a viable alternative to the Android/iOS duopoly that has an iron grip on the mobile phone industry. Sadly, after a brief flash of activity and community engagement with the release of the Purism Librem 5 and the PINE64 PinePhone in 2020, the Linux phone market has ...
Passkeys are a trap
24 min read
Seems like every website wants us to stop using passwords. There is a replacement we are being asked to use instead called passkeys. This should be a tad concerning if passwords are familiar to you and you don’t fully understand these nebulous passkeys. Websites say that passkeys are more secure or more convenient or something similarly beneficial. While it is true that passkeys can be far more se...

Computers Cannot Make Decisions

Computers Cannot Make Decisions Blame has no place falling on computer programs because computer programs cannot make decisions. Headlines must be read through this lens: Any and all attempts to blame an LLM for an outcome is decision laundering.

In this post, I argue that individual intellectual activity can only be sustained in an intellectual community of other humans.

Decision models are quickly emerging as an important new category in AI.

And once you understand that capability—making decisions and classifying things at very low cost with high performance—all kinds of useful t...

I’ve worked with a lot of research assistants over the years, and at some point we inevitably have The Talk: should they get a PhD? I was recently having The Talk with one particularly distraught student, who was worried her ideas aren’t good enough. “Maybe I’m not cut out for it,” she told me, “or maybe all of the easy ideas have already been done.” Like her, I’ve worried that I was born too late...
