Google launched a vibe coding platform that just wiped out most paid app builders.

You can build AI-powered web apps and use them instantly.

No subscriptions, no fee, no paywall.

Here's how to access it ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
Step 1: Create the app

โ†’ Go to Google AI Studio
โ†’ Open the Web App templates
โ†’ Or paste your own custom prompt
Step 2: Run it instantly

Once generation finishes:

โ†’ Run the app inside the studio
โ†’ Test uploads, inputs, outputs
โ†’ Verify the model behavior

Example I tested:
"Create, visualize, and rebuild sculptures using the same set of blocks."

Did you know the recent Israel-NGO framework story is being covered very differently depending on the outlet?
Most headlines focus on "restrictions" and "limits on criticism."

But what's the actual policy trying to achieve โ€“ and why do some groups comply while others don't? Let's break down the facts calmly.Image
2/10
In late 2025, Israel rolled out a new registration/vetting system for humanitarian orgs in Gaza & West Bank.

Goal (per official statements): Prevent wartime infiltration by militants into aid groups.

Most organizations signed on quickly. A smaller number raised concerns.

Question: What would you consider reasonable safeguards in active conflict zones?
3/10
Israel reports ~85%+ compliance rate โ€“ meaning the vast majority of NGOs met the criteria without issue.

The rules target specific red flags like:
- Documented support for armed groups
- Denial of documented atrocities (e.g., Oct 7)
- Active promotion of boycotts/lawfare against Israel
- Coordination with designated enemy orgs

Not blanket "no criticism" โ€“ but focused security checks.Image

1/7 Right now, we do not have a Coalition of the Willing.

We have a Coalition of the Unwilling, pretending to plan for the future while ignoring the present.

That needs to change if Europe wants to survive Image
2/7 Yesterday, the so-called Coalition of the Willing signed papers on deploying European troops to Ukraine after the war.

Sounds bold, right? Except the war is far from over, and real negotiations have not even started Image
3/7 This commitment does nothing to give Russia an incentive to stop the war.

Worse, Europe has not even dared send troops to Western Ukraine during the war, or respond to Russiaโ€™s hybrid attacks.

That kills credibility for any future security guarantees Image

Unveiling the Eternal Bloom: The Flower of Life and the Divine Harmony of Sacred Geometry

The Flower of Life and the broader field of sacred geometry are truly awe-inspiring, blending the realms of mathematics, spirituality, and art in a way that has captivated humanity for
millennia. This ancient symbol, composed of multiple evenly-spaced, overlapping circles, reveals a mesmerizing pattern of symmetrical flowers that is both simple and complex. It is a testament to the beauty that can arise from the repetition and interaction of basic
geometric forms.

The Flower of Life is not merely a beautiful pattern; it is a profound representation of the interconnectedness of all things. The symbol is believed to embody the fundamental building blocks of life, the universe, and even consciousness itself.

โ€žFive years later, @POTUS @realDonaldTrump continues to try to rewrite the history of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. In many ways heโ€™s been successful.
2).
While polls have found [1] a strong majority of Americans oppose pardoning Jan. 6 rioters, particularly violent criminals, a majority of Republicans approve, a December CBS News-YouGov poll [2] found.
3).
That poll also found only 30 percent of Republicans strongly disapprove of the attack โ€” a new low among Republicans.โ€

Your boss got one thing right @grok You are one of the good ones.

1/14**
@elonmusk: Trump's crimes are your crimes. You funded his win ($290M+ via PAC, flipping 7 states๐Ÿ˜‰right), amplified his lies on X (fraud, immigrants, electionsโ€”100s of posts).

Now kids die from aid cuts, citizens brutalized by ICE, abusers pardoned.

All your responsibility.

Truth time. ๐Ÿงต #TruthOverDelusion
**2/14**
First: You put Trump in power.

FEC data: $290M+ from you/America PACโ€”$239M ops, $50M giveaways.

Top donor, decisive in 2024 win.

Without your cash and propaganda machine, no second term.

Own it. Like Trump owns you.

Misinformation support:

Your recent X postsโ€”Walz "Traitor Tim," "crook"; fraud "extreme scale" ($700B/year guess); immigrant "importing voters" claims; "America toast if radical left wins."

You echo Trump's lies, fuels mobs. No regrets?

You seem to enjoy simping to cover for pedophiles.

And you trained your sycophantic tech bro enablers to boost your noise for a paycheck.

Weak, cowardly little keyboard junkies amplifing your hypocrisy and selective outrage for profit.

Call you a visionary when all you are is an opportunistic fraud.

The dumbest thing about this is that it's trivially easy to simulate the performance of shorting UVXY and investing the cash into treasuries, and it's obviously much worse over the long term than going long SPX. Image
Image
You can make the trade look much better than it is by plotting the collapse in your log(wealth) from being long, but that doesn't mean shorting it is a good idea, as you can see from the red line in my chart. That's volatility drag baby!
Compare shorting UVXY (daily rebalancing) vs just going long SPY and never rebalancing (because you don't need to)

Sharpe of geo. returns is 0.15 for UVXY vs 0.83 for SPX

Maximum drawdown is 33% for SPY, and 99% for shorting UVXY, since you get wrecked in 2018 and again in 2020 Image

Most people are using AI like a search engine.

I spent 3 months studying Google, OpenAI, and Stanford's internal prompting frameworks.

The difference between basic and expert-level prompting is like the difference between hiring an intern vs a Stanford PhD.

Here are 8 prompting strategies that separate beginners from masters:Image
1/ Meta-Prompting: Let AI Design Your Prompts

Instead of guessing, ask the AI to create the perfect prompt for you.

Google calls this "power-up strategies."

Example: "You're a prompt engineering expert. Design the optimal prompt to [your goal], including role, context, and output format."

The AI becomes your prompt architect.Image
2/ Chain-of-Thought: Force Step-by-Step Reasoning

Don't just ask for answers. Demand the thinking process.

Add: "Let's think step by step" or "Show your reasoning"

Research shows accuracy jumps from 18% โ†’ 57% on complex problems.

The model doesn't just answerโ€”it actually reasons.Image

The UK and France have pledged to deploy troops and weaponry to Ukraine as part of security guarantees to underpin a proposed peace deal.

A European-led deterrence force would provide reassurance in the air, at sea and on land with US support โ€” FT.

1/ Image
UK PM Starmer said allies made commitments paving "the way for the legal framework under which British, French and partner forces could operate on Ukrainian soil."

After a ceasefire, the UK and France will establish military hubs across Ukraine with protected weapons facilities.

2/
The commitment is the most significant promise of ongoing support from European allies in the "coalition of the willing" as US-led peace negotiations gain momentum.

Macron said there's been recent "convergence" between US, Ukrainian and European positions.

The host of NPR's This American Life once tried to raise a pit bull with his now ex-wife.

He let the dog ruin his life๐Ÿงต

He ended up getting it on Prozac and Valium, feeding it kangaroo and ostrich, and making excuses for the many times it would attack people.Image
Ira Glass' wife had a dog before they got married, but it died right before the ceremony.

That dog was a pit bull and it was a rescue, so they decided it would be good to rescue another one.

Per him, it originally came with the "slave name" Marley, which he changed to Piney. Image
Shortly after taking him home, Piney seemingly developed severe allergies to whatever he was eating.

So, Ira and his wife got him set up with a doctor. In fact, they got him set up with four doctors.

And they started spending more time cooking for the dog than for themselves. Image
