That's also a trick

Edit: but look, it's a good one. A little bit of reality mixed in so it looks cool


https://instant.page/ does this via user intent/interactions and pre-fetches the next page.

"Another option is to load the pages when the user starts pressing their mouse without preloading. This makes for zero unused requests while still improving page loads by 80 ms on average."

That's the way I would go. Fast, but not wasteful.


Every website will suffer from this.

Fix is easy enough - check the http referer before showing a result. E.g in insites.io(or any liquid scripting site) you can check like this: {% assign is_internal_search = context.headers.HTTP_REFERER contains context.location.host %}

Just check the search is happening on a site or device you own. That attack vector is then gone (hackers cannot spoof the refer that google sends via ads.)


It is great!

I signed up on my phone and tested in the playground.

It will fit perfectly into my workflow. I'm building a hyper-local directory site.

Getting good images for businesses is hard, so I'll use this to grab an image of their site as a place holder.

I can also add it to my AI workflow where I pass a website to OpenAI Assistant to extract data. OpenAI s not as robust with URLs as it is with images or PDFs. Often it won't visit then URL.

I can use this to get an image or pdf, pass it on and ask for the data back. OpenAI is better with files than URLs in my experience.

Good job!

Well done!


Exactly this.

People will pay for micro tools if they solve a problem.

Need to extract just 'text' from a webspage? Need to convert iPhone sized images to web sized images? Need to send sms but not that often?

Connecting dots is a lot easier than building each step. I'll happily pay $ for a tool if I don't have to build and maintain the function.


I had an office conversation today. The person I talked with has said that 2025 is their year to make AI work for their business.

I expressed that I think it is good at somethings, and not so good at others.

They have tested it and feel AI agents are ready to handle low level enquiries for support and, most importantly, sales.

I looked for opinions on and found this article.

My opinion is that AI is great for structured work (based on structured data), but risky on creative work where customers are involved.

I'd be interested in hearing if I'm wrong and behind the latest developments. And what I should be looking at is this area.


Still down. Verizon was also down for an extended period.

No updates coming out either.


Logging passwords on the fly is probably common. Some debug or log action setup and forgotten.

However, if you ever see a password in plain text you should raise alarms to the highest level.

In this case, I don't think the alarm was raised.


I agree, but also I know of devs that don't understand the basic security implications of passwords being in logs. I could easily see how someone, maybe even a couple of people, could see these logs and think nothing of them.


Vast quantities of logs are never reviewed by anyone....


Absolutely disagree with this description of the job a waiter does.

A waiter orchestrates and coordinates the experience for the diners they are looking after. They slow down orders to stop the kitchen getting overwhelmed. They upsell on the menu in a way that is helpful and informative. They understand the dietary requirements of guests. They hold complex orders in their head and drop the right plate to the right person. They know the flow of a table and engage or back off as appropriate.

Don't undervalue a role that can make a night out magical or a simple coffee memorable.


"Create a vast amount of engaging posts and reactions in just minutes"

Post AND reactions.

This is the progress we deserve.

AI posts with AI reactions.

Now it will be who has the biggest ad-spend to have their bilge seen by the human buyers. Social falling the way of Google search and SEO
