Seems like Codex will now have its own forge similar to Cursor's Origin. I'm curious whether they'll stick to Git's protocols or diverge even further. This seems like the nail in the coffin for the time when (almost) everything lived on GitHub.
Edit: It's ironic that GitHub is down as this announcement is made.

Show HN: Hacker News, à la Lobsters
https://git-aarvin.github.io/hackers/
I find Hacker News a little difficult to read on mobile. Most other frontends compromise too much on information density and the minimal feel of the site. So, I made a design heavily inspired by Lobste.rs<https://lobste.rs>, which felt like a better compromise.As a bonus, the site is written using View<https://github.com/git-aarvin/view>, my own simple React alternative.

I'm curious whether token speed played a role here. OpenAI's models may have had an advantage since they tend to run faster than Anthropic's.
A team of GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast agents would probably dominate the games.

The same photographer has two other photographs[^1] which previously were ranked highly in the contest. All seem to focus on chemical reactions and are stunning.
Interestingly, the previous two—of a candle and match—used 2.5x magnification, where as this one required 20x magnification, which just goes to show as to how tiny the printer mechanics really are.
