Just saw a screenshot of truth social for the first time. Their verified checkmark isn’t vertically centered and the level of incompetence it takes to do this in 2025 feels on brand.

Should I feel bad for trying to make a for-profit product using Nuxt ecosystem? It's unbelievable how many great free things it offers, it makes me feel kinda bad trying to use it for my own benefit

Zero sum games
Open source is about mutual giving. So how does that square with commercial open source? Or building a for-profit product on top of an open-source project?

New randomized, controlled trial by the World Bank of students using GPT-4 as a tutor in Nigeria. Six weeks of after-school AI tutoring = 2 years of typical learning gains, outperforming 80% of other educational interventions.

And it helped all students, especially girls who were initially behind.
