Development speed is not a bottleneck

"You are wrong, Pawel. You can vibe code a successful product without any technical skills. Here's one example." I liked the challenge, especially since it referenced a source. What I thought would be a short comment evolved into a series of articles. This post is the last one (or at least I believe so at the time of writing), and I will focus on the product management side. Well, just one aspect of it. The perception that the pace of shipping features (or building in general) is the bottlene

How big are our embeddings now and why?

Sep 1 2025 #embeddings #openai #anthropic #huggingface #dimensionality A few years ago, I wrote a paper on embeddings. At the time, I wrote that 200-300 dimension embeddings were fairly common in industry, and that adding more dimensions during training would create diminishing returns for the effectiveness of your downstream tasks (classification, recommendation, semantic search, topic modeling, etc.) I wrote the paper to be resilient to changes in the industry since it focuses on fundamenta

I ditched Docker for Podman

Beginnings I'm old enough to remember when Vagrant looked like a promised land where every development environment would look the same. Differences between language versions, as well as some unusual OS version differences, resulted in a few days of unproductive debugging of your development environment. I've had similar excitement when I started my first Docker Swarm (who uses that these days?!) - it felt revolutionary. Docker wasn't just a tool - it fundamentally changed how we thought about a

The Truth About Vibration Plates: Do They Really Help You Lose Weight, Build Muscle and Improve Strength?

Vibration plates are popular all over social media right now. They claim to help you lose weight or build muscle -- all while standing on the vibrating surface. But is this accurate? Does standing on a shaking platform really help you get stronger or shed pounds, or is it just another short-lived trend? To find out, we talked to personal trainers and other fitness experts. These experts explained how vibration plates are supposed to work, the benefits you might get from using them, the risks yo

Galaxy Z Fold 7 is enough of a hit that Samsung is cranking up production

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has raised September Galaxy Z Fold 7 production to 260,000 units, up 60,000 from earlier plans. August Fold 7 output hit 430,000 units, well above the 170,000 initially targeted, while Flip 7 production fell short. Shipments could exceed Samsung’s 2.4 million-unit goal for 2025. Samsung’s top-end foldable might come with a heavy price tag, but that hasn’t stopped demand from forcing the company to build more. Samsung has reportedly raised its Sep

With three new upcoming launches, Apple products will push prices higher than ever

Apple has always been unapologetic in its premium positioning. You know that when you buy Apple, you’re going to be paying a higher price than for almost any competing product, and are willing to do so for the perceived benefits of this – whether that’s the quality, the style, or the ecosystem. The company has made a few nods toward affordability over the years, and we’re expecting the next one to be a new entry-level MacBook. But we’re also moving into an era where three new product launches a

Natron’s liquidation shows why the US isn’t ready to make its own batteries

Sodium-ion battery startup Natron ceased operations this week, ending the company’s 12-year quest to commercialize its technology in the U.S. The company had $25 million worth of orders lined up for its Michigan factory, but it couldn’t deliver them until it had UL certification, according to Raleigh’s The News & Observer, which reported on the business’s closure because Natron had been planning to bring jobs to the state of North Carolina with its new factory. However, receiving the UL certif

Don’t let outdated IGA hold back your security, compliance, and growth

If organizations want to have any chance of protecting their data from unauthorized access in 2025 and beyond, there is no way around Identity Governance & Administration.

Why Browser Company at $610M is cheap
