Stop Chasing Shiny Tools: A Minimalist AI Stack That Actually Makes You Money

There is a folder on my desktop called new-tools. It should not exist. Inside: abandoned browser extensions, cloned repositories, AI wrappers I swore would change everything, free trials that expired quietly in the night, and at least three note taking apps that promised to become my “second brain” before immediately developing amnesia.

At 500 000 it started to stutter. The operator documentation told teams to set max_reindexing_concurrency = 2 and warned against full table scans.

A Google employee allegedly used inside information to win $1.2 million on Polymarket

Federal prosecutors charged a Google employee with fraud after he allegedly made $1.2 million on Polymarket bets related to Search-related trends in 2025, as reported earlier by ABC News. In their now-unsealed complaint, prosecutors allege that Michele Spagnuolo "knew the outcome of these wagers before the trading public did because he had accessed Google's confidential, commercially valuable internal data." Spagnuolo was arrested in New York on Wednesday but released on a $2.25 million bond, AB
