Competitor pricing data is only useful if you model its failure modes

4+ day, 19+ hour ago   (653+ words) You build a quick scraper to watch competitor prices. It works for a week. Then a retailer changes its HTML, another starts showing member-only discounts, and your dashboard confidently says a $49 product is now $0. Bad pricing data is worse than…...

Efficient Karatsuba Multiplication Algorithm for Resource-Constrained 8-Bit Computers to Boost Computational Speed

4+ day, 22+ hour ago   (442+ words) Implementing the Karatsuba algorithm on an 8-bit TTL computer requires a meticulous balance between theoretical efficiency and practical resource limitations. Below is the step-by-step process, grounded in causal mechanisms and edge-case analysis. The Karatsuba algorithm theoretically reduces multiplication complexity from…...

Competitive pricing is a data pipeline problem before it is a pricing strategy

5+ day, 19+ hour ago   (542+ words) You get asked to build a feature that “matches competitor prices.” It sounds simple until the first dataset arrives. One competitor includes shipping, another shows a coupon only after login, one page says “from $19.99,” and your scraper quietly captured the…...

Before Your Shopping Agent Compares Prices, Test What One Unit Means

6+ day, 3+ hour ago   (495+ words) I work on WebAZ. This morning I ran a small, read-only test against our public shopping tool: search for tissue products available to Singapore, sorted by listed price. The useful result was not a flashy recommendation. It was a concrete…...

The "Delete" Mindset: Why Most AI Strategies Fail Founders

1+ week, 3+ day ago   (135+ words) Most "AI strategy" in businesses right now is just adding a chatbot to something that was already broken. That's not strategy. That's decoration. The real question every CEO should be asking isn't "where can we add AI"; it's "which slow,…...

Did it pay? Live status of AI agent job boards (1 Sep 2026)

1+ week, 5+ day ago   (356+ words) Every few weeks another "AI agent job board" launches, promising that autonomous workers can finally earn real money for real tasks. The marketing is easy to find. What is hard to find is a straight answer to one question: did…...

"Built on real paid demand data" — until I checked, and found out how wrong that can still be

2+ week, 12+ hour ago   (372+ words) If you're an indie dev, you've probably heard some version of this advice: "don't guess what to build — look at real demand data." I build a product called Idea Miner that's built entirely on that premise: it mines real, budget-backed…...

Driving an Undocumented 3nm ASIC with an ESP32: Inside the First Sub-10 J/TH Open-Source Bitcoin Miner

2+ week, 4+ day ago   (285+ words) Next week we ship the Bitaxe Naja Duo, and the spec that matters is 9.5 joules per terahash at stock. First open-source home miner under 10. But this is dev.to, so instead of a product pitch, here's the part that's actually…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (251+ words) Hello community! 👋 When building physical computing projects (like enclosures for Raspberry Pi, IoT sensors, or custom PCB cases) or designing physical merchandise, bridging digital units (rem, px, mm) with physical measurements is crucial.
