I have to ask: why the two accounts/alts with almost identical handles? Even if I suspect you’ll assert there’s no reason for me to assume you’re the same person as the GP.

Only if you believe that knowledge is zero sum.

It's refreshing to feel us try and push the societal envelope again after two decades of stagnation. I only hope it doesn't go the way our proposed-but-torpedoed carbon emissions tax in the late 2000s and the butchered NBN rollout of the 2010s.

To qualify "insane speed" for anyone unaware, think a 10x improvement over even Cerebras. On the order of ~15,000 tokens/s. Not saying their approach scales well enough to keep pace with the various frontiers, but using their demo alone feels like a paradigm shift.

Does your terminal emulator not support bells/notifications? If it does, Claude Code (and albeit without checking surely Codex too) supports them natively.

I'm grateful that this is possible via Up bank here in Australia. Webhooks push the data through a free-tier Worker on Cloudflare and into YNAB within a second of the transaction going through. Full updates across pending/cleared and deleted transactions too. I’ve had this running for 18 months now and it's been a dream.

I like the comparison, but I'm not sure it holds. What did it cost him to develop beyond intangibles such as his time and money forgone? Because the latter especially is not equivalent to upfront capex and opex costs that preempt any ability to be charitable. Genuinely asking, but I'd be hard pressed to think it's even within the same magnitude.

This is fantastic, as others have said. Could you talk a bit about how it's so wonderfully fast?

It's articles such as this that truly make me sit back and marvel at our species. What an incredible accomplishment.

We were doing LTSC for Windows 10 years back as well, so I'm genuinely curious about any resources on this. We're very by-the-book and I'd be incredibly shocked to find we're actually in violation of any laws/ToS.

I couldn't disagree more. In a fight for existential survival, repelling an invader at any cost constitutes a win. It may almost be pyrrhic in the end, but deterrence is invaluable.

Not to lose sight of the very real cost, down to every man and family destroyed. Many may even argue that life under subjugation is still at least life. But many more have walked the walk into the fire, in defiance of that notion. I see no way of arguing the opinions of the living outweigh those of the dead when it comes to opinions on what's worth fighting for.

I would add that this isn't advocating for blindly and endlessly throwing meat into the meat grinder. But to the extent that a country tells you, not from the top down but from the men on the very frontlines of war, that they're willing to die, to win... I'd say believe them when they say they understand the costs, and yet consider it a win not in spite of those costs, but in the face of them, defiantly.

This makes me incredibly grateful for having a regulator with teeth in Australia. AFCA very recently awarded me (well, my mum whom I was helping) $1,000 with very little work due to Bank of Queensland temporarily locking an account.

Seconding the correction that LTSC is not restricted to hardware OEMs. I work for a multinational construction materials company and we image LTSC machines day in day out.

I tried this on the iOS 27 beta with Siri AI and it worked, to an approximation. It'll take 5 minutes from the original timer just fine, but not from the remaining time no matter which way I phrase it. Still, a massive improvement in my eyes.

Dr. Richard Scolyer was at the forefront of this, and died only recently after a long battle against brain cancer at 59. His open letter is well worth the read.

Come on, a problem nobody really had? I wholeheartedly disagree. Data loss and the orthogonal problem of lacking free space on computers is/was a massive problem at enterprise scale and OneDrive, for all its many shortcomings, is well and truly into good-enough territory to cover the 80% case. I'd go so far as to argue that the scenario you've described is by far the less frequent one. And if it frustrates you, you're afforded the ability to designate files and entire folders to be kept downloaded at all times anyway.

Find your criticisms of others and, if valid, air them. But surely, don't expect others to be silent in the face of harmful and terrible voices.

Your alternative is that the contract was forged. Something easily falsifiable in court and absolutely devastating to any case brought, not to mention any follow-on charges that may result. Is that what you're putting forward?

If your enemy can kill you with impunity, you are in fact, threatened.

My god, man. Go read the HN guidelines, this method of communication isn't only insufferable to read, but is actively making this place worse to be a participant of.

What? Many celebrities are so specifically because they're impressive. Athletes and musicians being the two most obvious examples.

HN guidelines strongly encourage me not calling you an asinine twat, so I won't do that. As your other reply highlighted, no one's arguing thermodynamics with you. It's clearly a behavioural phenomenon, and one that isn't half as well understood as we may like to believe. It's at the intersection of advertising, biology, dietetics, economics, genetics, neuroscience, nutrition, psychiatry, psychology, sociology, the disciplines go on. Consider all the myriad ways those factors may interact and compound, then look at the statistics: that the overwhelming majority of adults fail to lose significant weight long term through "eat less" should tell you all you need to know about the state of the problem. If your conclusion is as simple as "they mustn't have considered to put the fork down and try harder, en masse," I feel it says more about you than anything else.

You had me at spinning rat cursor

Scott & Tomoko's site, the former tiktok.com, was particularly touching as a time capsule of the pre-9/11 world. I wonder where, and who, they are now, if they are at all.

It may well have been your point, but that it's the exact same person makes this even better

Dark pattern is the term you're (incorrectly) describing.

Agreed, reaction from OP is concerning to say the least

Bobby my good friend, nice to hear from you

You've put a lot into this, that much is clear. However, this suffers from the usual problem of the era of abundant bespoke tooling: It's hard to figure out what this even does. I read the README, the examples, and the scoring function, but I still couldn't easily articulate this in a meaningful way to a third person. If you want adoption, you need to solve for this first.

Your README's first few lines, which is as far as you should expect most people will go, mentions a 2-minute explainer video. But it's actually 45 seconds. Why say otherwise? Hyperbole, maybe, but to me it raises the question of whether any of this was QC'd by a human at all before publishing. If your headline marketing material is in question, I'm inclined to make assumptions about the rest of it as well.

Edit: I should add, I'm glad I didn't check out your website before commenting, because I probably would've been too intimidated to comment. My career and expertise wouldn't measure up to yours. I do stand by my thoughts though, I think we often get so deep into our own domain and needs that we can briefly lose sight of our average audience. I’ll try this out myself on a website repo I'm updating and share how it went later on.
