Why Perplexity AI Feels Like a Calm Guide in a Noisy Internet

Looney Tunes Review: "Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century"
As a kid, you think of cartoons as being wholly comedic, but as you get older, you see more depth into your favorite cartoon shorts.

Preventing Frame Drops When LLM Calls Occur During Navigation
The first time I felt it, I didn’t look at a profiler. I felt it in my thumb. I was navigating quickly between two screens, the way people do without thinking, and the transition hesitated for a split second. No freeze. No crash.

Why App Projects Go Over Budget More Often Than Expected?
The spreadsheet looked calm when I first opened it. Neat columns. Reasonable numbers. A timeline that felt ambitious but fair. I remember sitting there mid-morning, sunlight cutting across the table, thinking we had finally planned one cleanly. No excess. No padding. Just enough room to build what we believed we understood.

Open Letter to Disney: Prioritizing Human Creativity in the Age of AI
Disney's recent partnership with OpenAI, which will allow Sora to use over 200 characters—from Mickey Mouse to Yoda—to generate short, user-prompted videos, is being presented by the company as a major step in storytelling innovation. CEO Bob Iger claims this move is about "thoughtfully and responsibly extending the reach of our storytelling through generative AI, while respecting and protecting creators and their works." A curated selection of these fan-created, Sora-generated clips featuring Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars characters will even appear on Disney+. The official line suggests this deal, which includes content guardrails and a commitment to "human-centered AI" and protecting "the rights of creators," is a way to engage fans and broaden creativity while still honoring the creative industries.
