Is Lovable getting monetization wrong?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-29 19:05:13

“I remember we were building a micro-app like that and it took at least a month, now it takes 3 minutes.” I messaged a colleague after trying out Lovable and sharing what I (it?) made. “It’s truly shocking” he responded. Using Lovable for the first time was like taking my first Waymo ride. At first, it was mind-blowing (I had no idea this was possible!) and then unremarkable (yep, that v1 works like a v1, as if I handed it to an engineer).

Ring's AI video descriptions tell you who's doing what

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-29 23:00:48

Here's a use of artificial intelligence that could be handy. Ring is adding AI-generated text descriptions of alerts. If it works well, a glance will be all it takes to tell whether something requires your attention. Ring founder Jamie Siminoff gave some examples of the new notifications. "A person is walking up the steps with a black dog" could tell you it's just the dog walker returning. Or, "Two people are peering into a white car in the driveway" could indicate it's time to call the fuzz.

Incogni vs. DeleteMe: Which service removes your personal data best?

zdnet.com Charlie Osborne 2025-08-30 11:30:15

Maria Diaz/ZDNET Data removal services began to appear around 15 years ago, after data brokers realized that data could become a new, valuable currency -- and one ripe for exploitation, given the lack of laws and little to no consumer data privacy protection written into legislation. Incogni and DeleteMe, founded in 2021 as part of VPN provider Surfshark and in 2010 by Abine Privacy, respectively, are two of the most widely-known data removal services in the US.

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Google released Android 16 a bit earlier than expected, and although it was missing some crucial features, there are key additions to the platform that go a long way to improve security.
