Token growth indicates future AI spend per dev

Kilo just broke through the 1 trillion tokens a month barrier on OpenRouter for the first time. Each of the open source family of AI coding tools (Cline, Roo, Kilo) is growing rapidly this month. Part of this growth is caused by Cursor and Claude starting to throttle their users. We wrote about Cursor at the beginning of July and about Claude in the second half of July. Their throttling sent users to the open source family of AI coding tools causing the increases you see in the graphs above. C

CarPlay connection issues? This might explain why

If your Apple CarPlay connection randomly drops out while driving, the cause might not be your iPhone, cable, or car. Radio interference, of all things, could be the cause of your troubles. An Axios report from this year details a peculiar phenomenon in Boston, where drivers lose their CarPlay or Android Auto connection at the exact same spots. Similar “dead zones” are likely in other cities, though they may go unreported. CarPlay units don’t handle GPS navigation on their own. Instead, they

The Vibes-Based Pricing of ‘Pro’ AI Software

Michael Calore: OK. Lauren Goode: All right. Actually not. But last fall I went to an event for Worldcoin, which is Sam Altman's other company. It was a super weird vibey crypto eye scanning thing at a warehouse in the Mission District of San Francisco. Michael Calore: The orb? Lauren Goode: This party had everything. Yeah. But there was swag there and there was a really nice sweatshirt that had World emblazoned on it, and I looked at the label and it's by a company called Original Favorites,

4 apps you should use instead of Google News

Andy Walker / Android Authority While Google News is a popular choice, its user interface and limited customization options might not be for everyone. I used the app for a long time, but I eventually moved on to something better. After trying countless alternatives, I found a few that offer a more personalized and streamlined experience. Some of these apps provide a highly tailored experience, while others let you get to the gist of a story much faster. While I’ve listed my favorite first, the

Roblox Rolls Out System to Spot Child-Endangerment Chat Messages

Roblox is a popular online gaming platform for children. But it's also a place where people who want to exploit children know they can find an audience. On Thursday, Roblox announced Roblox Sentinel, an artificial intelligence system that's designed to flag inappropriate messages in its chat feature. Roblox already prohibits sharing real-world images and personal information, like phone numbers and usernames. The company hopes Sentinel will flag more messages sooner for investigation. It's been

Zach Cregger’s first major film Barbarian was tense and frightening, but it was also infused with a healthy dose of absurdity. The movie’s twisted sense of humor made it easier to stomach its grotesque violence and a bit more difficult to anticipate how its unhinged story would unfold. But Barbarian also worked surprisingly well as a

Why is it worth spending time on type theory? (2013)

$\begingroup$ Type theory is to set theory what computable functions are to usual functions. It's a constructive setting for doing mathematics, so it allows to deal carefully with what can or can't be computed/decided (see intensionality vs. extensionality, or the different notions of reduction and conversion in $\lambda$-calculus). Furthermore, just like category theory, it gives a great insight on how certain mathematical objects are nothing but particular cases of a general construction, in

The first widespread cure for HIV could be in children

Murena’s Pixel Tablet is helping to wean me off Google

A lot of people are overly reliant on Google. They put all of their important messages, appointments, musings, contacts, and spreadsheets into Google products.

Murena's Pixel Tablet takes a stance against that norm. It's Google’s Pixel Tablet hardware running an Android fork but without any Google tracking or

AC or DC: Which Is Better?

As the story goes, the rock band AC/DC took its name from a label on an old sewing machine in the Young brothers’ home. It must have meant that the machine could run on either alternating-current or direct-current electricity. Today, all the newfangled electronic devices in our homes run only on DC power—even lighting fixtures, now that LEDs have replaced incandescent bulbs. But wait. The electricity that comes out of your wall socket is alternating current. That means each device needs to conv
