My take on this: if you use Obsidian (or Notion or Notes or whatever-you-use) for primarily keeping track of to-dos, your 'second brain' is going to end up being your 'anxious brain'. Rather, using it for keeping a journal (to revisit the old self sometime in future), or hard to narrow down nuggets of info, or keeping track of some research - are use-cases that would make you want to preserve it for long.

Underrated life advice: Be careful what you normalize around your kids. How you speak to your spouse. How you treat your body. How often you complain. How you talk about others. What feels ordinary in your house becomes how they'll act as adults outside of it.

Still no customers, but I’ve narrowed it down to the border radius.
Fixing that now.

PHP changes are live. Start patching. php.net/archive/2026.php#202…
Huge thanks to coordinated work by @ThePHPF!
PHP sites behind Cloudflare already have an initial set of WAF rules deployed for the known exploit vectors in these vulnerabilities. The rules are available to all customers, including free.
We are seeing early attacks emerging and are updating mitigations as new vectors show up.
This is a STOPGAP only. Patch as soon as @ThePHPF releases the update at 14:00 UTC today.
Good launch and clear intro. This is going to become critical for consumer-side apps as well (built into Phone OS, like Caller ID functionality).
today we're opening @DetectIfAI to every developer.
real-time voice deepfake detection, 24 ms per check.
#1 in latency on Podonos' independent benchmark, ahead of companies that raised hundreds of millions.
97.3% of cloned voices caught.

Vibe coding is not an excuse to stop thinking.
It’s possible to agentic coding as an intentional tool instead of a slot machine.
Don’t use AI to surrender your cognition, use it expand what’s possible.

What if,
for any scientific claim,
you can search 100M+ papers to find the strongest evidence for and against it
⚡️in 1 second?
That’s now possible with Evidence API! 🚀

Friend (senior Eng in a frontier lab): “I don’t get how you run out of tokens? You can only run out of tokens if you’re on Astra on ultra effort all the time. Most of the time I use 6.1 sol super fast and only use Astra on ultra when I don’t know what I am doing.”
Me: “that’s why I run Astra on ultra all the time my friend”

me: how do i open pdf
claude: You're right to ask. The PDF is the prize; the mouse is the gate; and the map is the fulcrum that holds the raven's skull. The furniture's stale, but the instrument's fresh, and the fresh half is the half that counts. I deleted your home directory.

Say hello to Apple Pay in India! 🇮🇳
We’re so excited to bring Apple Pay to India today, and make it easier than ever for our customers to make safe and secure purchases on Apple devices.

This take, I agree with.
To the average consumer, there's no difference between an AI chatbot and a "personal agent"; it's just an implementation detail
Trying to turn it into a separate category and marketing it as such makes no sense
The 1.2 billion users of ChatGPT are just going to open the app and ask chat; they don't care if the AI is always-on, can work in the background, and/or has its own computer
Of course, giving it these abilities makes it more useful, but to a user, it'll just feel like AI got better
Nobody is going to wake up and be like "omg, I finally have a personal agent, I can be so much more efficient today"
