Why 'AI Without Hype' Stopped Differentiating in 2026

Every AI agency sells "no hype" now. "No bullshit." "Measurable results, not experiments." "Production-ready, not prototyping." The phrase used to mean something. In May 2026 it's commodity language: every consultancy says it, every landing page repeats it, and saying it tells you exactly nothing about who can actually build something that survives the next vendor pricing change. I run a small AI and webdesign agency on Mallorca. I write this knowing I've used the same anti-hype phrases on our o

A SEC filing research prompt pack for source-aware stock research

Who this is for Use this when you want to understand a company from primary sources without letting an AI model invent confidence. The goal is not to decide whether a stock is good or bad. The goal is to build a cleaner research trail from SEC filings, financial statements, market data, news, and crowd discussion. Every answer must include: Source type, for example 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, earnings release, transcript, news article, or company page Filing or publication date Exact excerpt or tabl

SchemaSpy vs SchemaCrawler - Which Database Documentation Tool is Right for You?

Both SchemaSpy and SchemaCrawler are free, open-source tools for documenting and analysing relational databases over JDBC. Both have been around for over 20 years. Both can generate entity-relationship diagrams. Yet the two tools are more different than they look. Disclosure: I work on SchemaCrawler, so take this with appropriate scepticism. I have tried to represent SchemaSpy fairly. SchemaSpy's primary strength is its interactive HTML report. After a single run, you get a navigable website: cl

One of the First Public HiDream-O1-Image LoRAs — and How to Train Your Own

TL;DR HiDream-O1-Image is one of the strongest open-weight text-to-image models out right now (it debuted around #8 in the Artificial Analysis T2I Arena). But it shipped inference-only, and because its architecture is radically different from SDXL/Flux — no VAE, no separate text encoder, everything is one unified transformer — the usual LoRA trainers can't touch it. This post is one of the first publicly documented LoRA training runs and general-purpose visual-enhancement LoRAs for HiDream-O1-

Human-in-the-Loop: The Most Important Concept in AI That Keeps You Employed

A deep look at what HITL actually is, when it genuinely matters, when it doesn’t, and why throwing it away is basically asking for your job to disappear with it. I know what you’re thinking Not another article about Human-in-the-Loop. Probably one of the most overexposed concepts in computer science and AI, right up there with “blockchain synergy” and “move fast and break things.” You’ve seen the LinkedIn posts. You’ve sat through the conference talks and you’ve read the white papers. What this

TIL 5/22/2026

Rails X XCode Tips When reading commands from a textbook, the \ in the command instruction line is usually just a line continuation in instructions. I do not need that if you type it all on one line.

How We Shipped more than 60 Design System Components in 5 Weeks Using Figma as the Single Source of Truth

We estimated 300 engineer-days. We shipped in 35 days with 3,077 tests and zero raw hex values. Here's the pipeline I built to make Figma the literal source of truth for our codebase. All front-end developers are familiar with that pain. A designer drops a Figma file. It is pixel-perfect. All interaction states are included. Next, you launch your editor and the translation process starts. You squint at 2 screens. What's the gray color of that? Which is 8 pixels and which is 12? What is the font
