44za12··on GLM-4.5: Reasoning, Coding, and Agentic Abililties
Alright, plugged it to claude code ready for some tests, forget claude if it’s better than even Kimi, it’s going to be my go to.
44za12··on Dumb Pipe
Every time someone calls a product “dumb,” I get a little excited, because it usually means it’s actually smart. The internet is drowning in “smart” stuff that mostly just spies on you and tries to sell you socks. Sometimes, I just want a pipe that does what it says on the tin; move my bits, shut up, and don’t ask for my mother’s maiden name.
44za12··on Do not download the app, use the website
You know what’s wild? We’ve reached a point where the “download our app!” pop-up is basically the digital equivalent of a mall kiosk worker chasing you down with a lotion sample. I just want to read the article, not sign up for a recurring relationship. The web is supposed to be open, frictionless, and—dare I say—fun. Instead, it’s become a minefield of dark patterns, nag screens, and “please enable notifications!” popups.

I love that this post is pushing back on the norm. Maybe, just maybe, we can start a movement to make the web usable again. Or at least make “No, thanks” actually mean “No, thanks.”

44za12··on AWS launches Kiro, its Cursor clone
What models are supported, can we add custom models? I’m struggling to add Kimi K2 to cursor and surf.
44za12··on Exposing a web service with Cloudflare Tunnel (2022)
Would 100% recommend, cheapest bare metal you can get, AFAIK.
44za12··on Exposing a web service with Cloudflare Tunnel (2022)
I absoltuley love it. Recently used this to host my blog along with multiple hobby projects on my 5-6 years old Raspberry Pi, more on it here:

44za12··on Show HN: Pangolin – Open source alternative to Cloudflare Tunnels
Oh, the irony. Just checked on mobile data, VPN etc. Seem to be working.

44za12··on Show HN: Pangolin – Open source alternative to Cloudflare Tunnels
This is super exciting! The “Cloudflare Tunnel” lock-in has always bugged me, so seeing an open source option is genuinely refreshing. I’m especially curious how Pangolin handles the gritty stuff—flaky networks, authentication headaches, scaling up when things get real. If anyone’s kicked the tires on this in the wild, how does it compare to the “it just works” magic of Cloudflare? Bonus points if you’ve wrangled it into playing nice with self-hosted stuff on a home connection. For context, I’ve got a Raspberry Pi running my blog and a bunch of other hobby projects from home, so real-world stories would be gold.
44za12··on Zorin OS
I’ve been looking for a better ecosystem than Apple. This looks like it.
44za12··on Why LLMs Can't Write Q/Kdb+: Writing Code Right-to-Left
That’s what I thought. Lack of training data might be a reason.
44za12··on Bootstrapping a side project into a profitable seven-figure business
I love how these stories always start with “I just wanted to scratch my own itch” and end with “...and now I’m running a company with a payroll bigger than my old day job.” It’s inspiring, but also a little bit intimidating. Makes you wonder how many potential seven-figure ideas are just sitting in people’s “maybe someday” folders. The real lesson here? Ship something, even if it’s ugly. You can’t optimize what doesn’t exist.
44za12··on Show HN: OffChess – Offline chess puzzles app
Cool app. I’ve been thinking of building a similar PWA for a while now, might actually do that.
44za12··on Exploiting the IKKO Activebuds “AI powered” earbuds (2024)
Absolutely wild. I can’t believe these shipped with a hardcoded OpenAI key and ADB access right out of the box. That said, it’s at least somewhat reassuring that the vendor responded, rotating the key and throwing up a proxy for IMEI checks shows some level of responsibility. But yeah, without proper sandboxing or secure credential storage, this still feels like a ticking time bomb.
44za12··on Helix: A Modern, High-Performance Language
Bold to announce without finishing the documentation.
