Limerence is an involuntary state of intense romantic infatuation and obsession with another person, often experienced as an addictive mental state characterized by intrusive thoughts, euphoria, anxiety, and a strong desire for reciprocation of the feelings.

The article discusses the AI Visibility project, which aims to improve transparency and accountability in the development and deployment of artificial intelligence systems. It highlights the importance of understanding the inner workings of AI models to ensure their responsible and ethical use.

I built OpenBrowserClaw as a browser-only reimagining of OpenClaw. Same philosophy: small enough to understand, built for one user, but running entirely in a browser tab.

No Mac Mini. No VPS. No cloud deploy. No Docker. Just open a tab.

The idea: What if your AI assistant lived in a browser tab instead of a server? No infrastructure to manage, no background processes, no deployment headaches. Even on your phone you can just open the PWA, paste your Claude API key, and explore the magic of the Claw.

Codex is already humongous for what it is (a CLI/TUI), but somehow Claude Code is more than 5x the size.

Two months ago, I had zero mobile development or publishing experience. I wanted to see if I could build and ship a complete game using only a browser-based workflow and AI assistance.

The process:

Built entirely in GitHub Codespaces using an AI Copilot.

Wrote the core game for the web, then wrapped it into an Android APK/AAB.

Pushed through 100+ versions to fix edge cases.

Passed Google Play review with no policy violations.

The game is a tough 2D platformer called Bionic Biome. To make the "impossible mode" bearable, I integrated a rewarded AdMob ad as a Continue/Revive mechanic. It’s an opt-in lifeline, not a forced pop-up.

Here is the weird hurdle I’ve hit: Test ads worked perfectly. But in production, the AdMob dashboard just says "No data" and returns "Ad not ready." My core revive mechanic is effectively disabled because Google's algorithm won't serve real ads until it sees enough "organic" traffic to trust the account.

It's a strange psychological shift. For weeks it was "build, fix, upload." Now, the AI code works, the wrapper works, the integration works, but the core mechanic is held hostage by a silent third-party algorithm waiting for strangers to play it.

Has anyone else here launched a first app and hit this AdMob cold-start wall? How long did it take for your first live ad to actually fill?

If you are curious to see what an AI-coded, web-wrapped game built entirely in a browser actually plays like on Android, the link is below. (No pressure to play, just sharing the technical journey).

I recently launched WeDoDev — a subscription-based SaaS development service for startups and small teams.

The idea is to give founders ongoing product development (features, integrations, UX, iterations) without hiring or managing freelancers/agencies.

Curious if this model resonates with early-stage SaaS teams and what expectations you'd have from a service like this.

Would love feedback from the HN community.

I spent years assuming postpaid meant better service. It doesn't. After finally running the numbers I feel genuinely embarrassed about how long I waited to switch.

Here's the actual breakdown nobody lays out clearly:

The postpaid trap: Major carriers charge $60-80/month for plans most people don't fully use. That's $720-960/year. The service feels premium because of the branding and retail stores. The network underneath is identical to what prepaid customers access.

Prepaid vs postpaid mobile — what actually changes: The only technical difference is QCI priority levels. Postpaid customers get QCI 6-7, prepaid gets QCI 8-9. In practice this means slight deprioritization during peak congestion — concerts, stadiums, busy urban areas. For everyday use the difference is imperceptible.

Where the real gap is — annual prepaid: Monthly prepaid is the obvious comparison to postpaid. But annual prepaid is where the math gets genuinely interesting. Most people comparing prepaid vs postpaid mobile never look at the annual tier.

Current annual prepaid landscape:

Mint Mobile: $240/year (T-Mobile network, 5GB-unlimited) Visible: $300/year (Verizon network, unlimited) US Mobile: $210-390/year (multi-network, flexible) Infimobile: $75/year for 10GB, $125/year for 15GB (Verizon or T-Mobile)

My actual switch: Ported my number to Infimobile three months ago. Was on a $65/month postpaid plan. The port completed in a few hours, no issues. Currently paying $75 for the entire year on T-Mobile network — unlimited calls and texts, 10GB data monthly. Coverage is identical to what I had before in every location I regularly use my phone.

Honest limitations with Infimobile and annual prepaid generally:

Upfront annual payment (mental hurdle but math immediate) No unlimited data option on Infimobile — 10GB at $75/year, 15GB at $125/year Choose Verizon or T-Mobile at signup, locked for the year Slight deprioritization during peak hours like any MVNO

The numbers that actually matter:

PlanAnnual CostMonthly EquivalentPostpaid average$780/year$65/monthMint Mobile$240/year$20/monthVisible$300/year$25/monthInfimobile 10GB$75/year$6.25/monthInfimobile 15GB$125/year$10.42/month

The frustrating part: The prepaid vs postpaid mobile conversation online almost always focuses on monthly pricing. Annual prepaid barely gets mentioned despite being a completely different cost category. Infimobile at $75/year sits so far below everything else that it genuinely looks like a mistake the first time you see it.

For light to moderate data users — anyone using under 15GB monthly — the ROI on switching from postpaid is immediate. My $75 annual payment paid for itself in 5 weeks compared to what I was spending before.

Curious whether others have done this analysis and what held them back from switching. The prepaid vs postpaid mobile debate feels settled on price — what am I missing on the postpaid side that justifies the cost difference?

neural-open.nvim is a Neovim plugin that integrates with Snacks.nvim that trains a neural network to rank files based on your navigation patterns using features like fuzzy-finder match scores, file access frecency, and directory structure. It trains a small multi-layer perceptron and updates the network for a few iterations each time you choose a file to learn your preferences.

I made this because I always felt other file search solutions never fully match my flow and could learn more from how I use them to be better. It was also a fun little side project to help me remember some of the details of the math in deep learning that had gotten a little stale over time.
