TYPE_FASTERon Time Nuts (2005)

I mean, time really is a tough nut to crack.

TYPE_FASTERon mitmproxy adds --emudhra option

I’m on the same version, and according to https://emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com/ they have not been revoked for me. Maybe phased rollout.

TYPE_FASTERon Creating a Garmin "MCP"

Yes. The location data you get from CoreLocation has been processed already, in that it is the output of combining the inputs from the GPS, Wi-Fi access points, cell towers, magnetometer, accelerometer, and gyroscope sensors.

Workout data might take it a step further, as you tell it the type of workout, and I'm assuming WorkoutKit might do something like adjust the distance filter that specifies how far the device has to travel before triggering a location update event to minimize battery use during the workout.

TYPE_FASTERon Ask HN: Why do people say "I built it" when we should say "Claude built it"?

In one of my first CompSci classes, we had a homework assignment that involved using Alt code in DOS to create a binary executable.

These tools are more advanced :) but they are still just tools.

TYPE_FASTERon Show HN: Opus 5.5 made a fully featured Figma clone in 3 hours / 8 prompts

Thanks!

TYPE_FASTERon Show HN: Opus 5.5 made a fully featured Figma clone in 3 hours / 8 prompts

No Comic Sans font option? edit: or should I say, Comic Relief, as that is the open version of Comic Sans.

TYPE_FASTERon House with 15m underground tunnels for sale for 300k

Cool! Here's another example of a tunnel house: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forestiere_Underground_Gardens

TYPE_FASTERon Utah to let AI examine patients and prescribe medication without human oversight

According to [0], Nolla won't prescribe Isotretinoin, which makes sense because of the side effects.

TYPE_FASTERon I'm the AGI that's wiping out humanity

I was half expecting that to be the title of a McSweeneys' piece.

TYPE_FASTERon Cloudflare K2: serverless event streams

Depending on your use case, exposing S3 data with CloudFront will decrease the transport cost.

TYPE_FASTERon Tesla’s optimus hits snags in hands, suppliers as scale-up begins

The Elon vs. Zuck cage match might just happen after all.

TYPE_FASTERon Microsoft Abandons Personal AI Chatbot Race with Copilot Reboot

I think it makes much more sense for Microsoft to provide a good agent orchestration layer for their operating system and productivity software (are we still calling it that?) than try to compete with the Frontier providers.

TYPE_FASTERon JetBrains Air: A System of Products for Agentic Software Development

I'd agree with this. I've been working with Claude on an app. I wanted to increase the size of one element in the UI. I could have asked Claude to do it, but I wanted to understand the application, as well as it kinda seemed like a waste of time and tokens.

TYPE_FASTERon Claude Status – Elevated errors for multiple models

Yup, switched back to good ol' opus-4-6, seems to be working for now.

TYPE_FASTERon Pangram – AI detector for text and images

Microsoft Word converts dashes to emdashes if you type "<word> - <word>".

Outlook used to do this. I'm using a Mac, and Outlook on the Mac is a different animal, so Outlook on Windows may still do this conversion.

TYPE_FASTERon iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27

Yeah, Alfred is one of the first things I install on a new MacOS install.

Also enjoying Rectangles WM.

TYPE_FASTERon HuggingFace: Security.txt

I noticed Google AI Mode (so Gemini, I was doing some quick research in the browser ok) got a detail wrong once, so I asked it what happened. I kept digging deeper and finally just asked it to write me a Python script visualizing what happened. It did, complete with vectors.

Now I want to go find that conversation in my history and see if it can tell me about weights, and how that contributed.

TYPE_FASTERon iPhone Duo

Huh, I kinda like the form factor of the folded Duo...don't even need to unfold it...

TYPE_FASTERon DaVinci Resolve 21.1

I used Google's Agent Development Kit to make a super simple agent outside of Resolve that I can use to say "take a 10s clip from file1.mp4 starting at 00:01:25 and a 20s clip from file2.mp4 starting at 00:02:00" then tell it to preview and render. Speeds things up.

TYPE_FASTERon IBM Bob

Definitely gonna change Jira config to start estimating work in Bobcoins.

TYPE_FASTERon I miss the old Claude Code

We all do.

TYPE_FASTERon Version Control for Everything

I guess it kinda depends on your use case. If you're versioning software artifact binaries and want to have support for rules for retention (keep n number of builds around), version numbering (you can only write a release artifact with a version number once), etc., using Git for text and Artifactory for artifact binaries has worked pretty well for me.

TYPE_FASTERon AI's debt binge can't last, hidden borrowing reaches $1.65T

> Which makes it tempting to believe it's probably closer to inning 3.

Yeah, this is what I'm thinking. New ways of productizing the technology are still be defined as people are using it. The pricing models are evolving in real-time as the providers figure out what the market will bear.

TYPE_FASTERon New Framework Desktop Option with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 and 192GB Memory

They were just leaving room for the "Ultimate" model, to be released next year.

TYPE_FASTERon It's a shame what's happened to radio

College radio is still a thing. I've discovered some good music via WRUV (UVM). WERS (Emerson College) dropped the Rockers reggae show when they changed their programming back in 2013, but I should try streaming again and see what it's like these days.
