What works, what breaks, what actually saves time.

It's so simple.

You spend less than you earn. Invest shrewdly. Avoid toxic people and toxic activities. Try to keep learning all your life. And do a lot of deferred gratification.

A .si domain costs around $12 to $16 per year.

A .ai domain costs around $80 per year and usually requires a 2 year registration.

.si is roughly 5 to 7 times cheaper.

For a frontier AI model, intelligence matters more than speed.

An hour at the gym without checking my phone feels so good. Nothing beats a little digital detox.

[Zhoie @iZhoie]

Everyone’s talking about AGI. Meanwhile, AI is already passing versions of the Turing test, and we’ve almost forgotten how big a milestone that once seemed.

[Zhoie @iZhoie]

Opus 5.5 looks stronger than GPT-6 Astra for motion design and frontend development, especially when you factor in cost and usage limits. But comparing it with GPT-6 Sol isn’t fair. You should compare models in the same tier. Otherwise, the comparison doesn’t mean much.

As AI coding improves, using each platform’s native language makes more sense for performance. It’s better to switch now than rewrite your app later.

What is a Codex agent?

[Zhoie @iZhoie]

The label is shifting from AI to super intelligence, but I’d rather use specific model names. Calling everything AI tells us very little about which system we’re discussing or what it can actually do.

[Zhoie @iZhoie]

AI is too broad a term now. Models and tools vary wildly.

When someone says AI sucks, they might just be using a bad model.

[Zhoie @iZhoie]

If OpenAI’s teased release is a Codex bot like Grok Bot, I’d find that useful.

I plan to use ChatGPT Work more. A smoother connection between the web version and my local computer would make it easier to bring into my daily work.

[Zhoie @iZhoie]

I don’t think Muse is that powerful, yet it has topped the download charts for days. Meta’s user base helps, but Meta AI never reached the top.

Right now, an AI agent’s ease of use may matter more than a model’s benchmark scores.

[Zhoie @iZhoie]

If your agent needs a full desktop, do not give it yours.

Give it a cloud one. Keep your laptop for you.

[Zhoie @iZhoie]

Agents that can spend money aren’t impressive by default.

Unrestricted payment access is still insane. Controls first, then autonomy.

[Zhoie @iZhoie]

The hard part of personal agents isn’t smarter answers.

It’s deciding what they’re allowed to do on your computer when you’re not watching.

[Zhoie @iZhoie]

Model intelligence is no longer my main deciding factor. For most of my needs, frontier models already feel capable enough. What matters more is how well the whole system helps me get things done.

Yet we call everything AI, even when these systems have very different capabilities. They may seem similar in casual conversation, but the differences become clear when you ask them to code, control a computer, or complete a complex task.

That makes debates about the best AI incomplete without context. Some people prioritize speed. Others value depth, reliability, or the ability to finish a job.

We all have 24 hours a day. I care more about the total time needed to reach a useful result than how quickly a response appears. A slower answer can save time if it requires fewer corrections.

Different needs justify different choices, but personal preference doesn’t make systems equally capable. For me, the question isn’t simply which model is smartest. It’s which system makes the best use of my time.

SVG can do more than static images.

AI coded this 3D rocket cursor using SVG paths and Three.js.

Really happy with how it turned out.

[Zhoie @iZhoie]

Notion finally feels as fast as I’d hoped after the update. Everything is much smoother, and I’m really enjoying using it. Thanks to you and the team!

Could we also have an option to turn off the scrolling animation when tapping an item in the table of contents? I’d love to jump straight to the section I need. That would make navigation feel even faster.

[Ji Pei @iampgzp]

We’re rebuilding Notion natively on mobile. It’s early, but here is how it feels now!

What frustrates you Notion on your phone today? I want to hear and improve!
