"Hello everyone, it's the author here. I initially created 13ft as a proof of concept, simply to test whether the idea would work. I never anticipated it would gain this much traction or become as popular as it has. I'm thrilled that so many of you have found it useful, and I'm truly grateful for all the support.

Regarding the limitations of this approach, I'm fully aware that it isn't perfect, and it was never intended to be. It was just a quick experiment to see if the concept was feasible—and it seems that, at least sometimes, it is. Thank you all for the continued support."

there is still mips mcus in some products here and there. some router manufacturers have already started using riscv and arm (ofc). i tend to find old mipsel marvell mcus in settops and older cable modems, and really small things.

microchip still has mips based pic32mz as well. i still use this in some automotive design

That's only true if one or both of these things is true in your experience:

1. opportunity cost isn't real

1. the ${whatever amount}/${some time} subscription cost to any one of the 15+ of the AI offerings isn't financially affecting

That latter one is of especial interest to me because quite a few of the "you're holding it wrong" arguments devolve into "well, you just don't have the Platnium X99 Plus latest awesomesauce, and if you did then it'd solve the P-NP problem for you, too"

Batteries are nowhere near that cheap.

Currently the cheapest non-intermittent energy source is gas; solar costs about half as much, and nuclear costs 50% more than gas [0]. Battery storage is currently competitive with gas for storing around 4 hours of electricity [1].

If we would want to replace the baseload with solar + batteries we would need to store 12 hours instead, during the dark half of the day, so it would cost 3x as much, 200% more than gas.

Maybe we can hope for battery prices to drop, but extrapolating from a Wright's law curve, for them to become cheaper by a factor of 3 we need to produce 32 times as many of them [1, again], it won't happen in the near future.

Yeah I think I've read multiple PG essays on the importance of writing, but they always struck me as no different than Katy Perry telling you to sing, or some Grandmaster saying "go play chess." That is -- a personal anecdote that doesn't necessarily generalize.

I'm not saying that writing can't be a useful tool to organize ideas, definitely it can. But I think I've found two things:

- Now the best way to "iterate" my thoughts is to rubberduck with ChatGPT; it's really amazing how much faster I can learn when I admit how little I know, even on something like global warming or an advanced math topic.

- By and large, "organizing my thoughts" isn't really a high-return activity in my life. Having an intelligently written blog that I've put hundreds of hours into has never done anything for my career or led to any personal connections, and honestly who's to say my time wouldn't have been better-spent just coming with some jokes to network better rather than having some cohesive theory of everything that nobody asked for?
Show HN: I Made t0ggles – Faster and More Efficient Than Jira and ClickUp
by nolimits4web | 2025-07-21 20:33:42+00:00
As someone juggling multiple projects, I needed a project/task management tool that allowed me to clearly see and manage all my projects on the same board. Existing tools like Jira, ClickUp, and Trello didn't work for me because they are slow, overbloated, and not really designed to handle multiple projects efficiently. That's where t0ggles came in. t0ggles is a next-gen tool that leverages AI to enhance task creation, documentation, and collaboration, making it easier to handle complex workflows.

What sets t0ggles apart are its unique features, ordered by value:

- AI-Powered Task Creation: Effortlessly create tasks with AI that understands your needs, making it accurate and efficient. This feature alone has transformed how I manage tasks across multiple projects.

- Seamless Integrations: Connect with Figma and GitHub, with more integrations planned, to streamline your workflow. This integration has been crucial for maintaining a cohesive development process.

- Easy Data Migration: Import data from Trello, Jira, and more via CSV, XML, or JSON files for a smooth transition. This ensured I could bring all my existing data into t0ggles without hassle.

- Public Visibility and Community Feedback: Leverage community insights for valuable feedback, driving innovation and enhancing project suitability. This has been invaluable for refining my projects based on real-world input.

- Suitability for All Teams and Sizes: Versatile for all kinds and sizes of teams, offering a balance of power and simplicity. Whether you're a small team, a large enterprise, or a freelancer, t0ggles adapts to your needs.

- Focus on Simplicity and Intuition: A clean, modern interface that avoids unnecessary complexity, ensuring ease of use. This has made t0ggles a joy to use compared to other tools.

- Lifetime Access with One-Time Payment: No recurring fees, just a one-time payment for lifetime access and all future updates. This model provides long-term value and peace of mind.

- No Hidden Fees: Transparent pricing with all costs included in the plan. I appreciate knowing exactly what I'm paying for.

- Customizable and Modern Interface: Tailor the tool to your preferences with advanced customization options. This allows me to make t0ggles work exactly how I need it to.

I've used t0ggles to streamline my project management, and the AI has significantly improved my workflow. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on t0ggles. How do you see it fitting into your workflow? Any features you'd like to see added? Let's discuss!

> It consumes a lot of power to transmit over long distances.

No, it doesn't. This is plain wrong. Power loss for a 1000 km HVDC line is 3.5% [0], which is the same order of magnitude as battery losses.

If you had of said it cost a lot of money to transmit over long distances, then fine.

> I think you’re quibbling.

I can assure you I'm not.

There are absolute claims to make, they just aren't the ones you're making. Determinism is an absolute claim of memoization. "Local rather than shared state" is simply not, no matter how many time you repeat it is.

Excluding shared state from memoization implies that you can't rely on the technique in parallel scenarios, which is just not true. I can think of more than a handful of DP problems where you can further optimize with parallelism if the function is modified to rely on shared state memoization. For example, the slew of problems that rely on the tabulation to simply fetch one value in the "previous row" and the value at the "previous column" of the current row. In practice, instead of iterating through rows and waiting to completely process them one at a time, you could simply start processing another row in parallel once you have just enough of the requisite "previous" data. This is absolutely valid DP. Some DP solutions even receive their tabulation. How does that not qualify as global?

If you thought "memoization is never shared", then in practice, not only your possibly very deterministic functions would end up solving the same problems over and over each time they're called, you would also deny yourself the opportunity of tremendous optimization techniques given by a guarantee of determinism.

Determinism is key. Not shared state.

> The economic value of older phones is frequently low

Yes. But is that part of the natural order of the universe, or a factor of design. Because some phones have better or worse resale value, I believe it’s a factor of design - and therefore something we can control.

> Trickle down is a description of an economic thing that happens.

No, it’s a description of failed economic policy that has made the rich richer at the expense of everyone else.

> You've latched onto those words because it sounds like "a trickle" and that's a bad sounding thing when your goal is taking away Elon Musk's money.

I mean I’m not going to deny that would make me happy, but it’s also not really what I’m talking about here. I’m talking about the design of products for longevity to minimize their environmental impact. The intersection of this and capitalism is that capitalism rewards consumption and extraction, not sustainability. And the word “trickle” isn’t actually the problem here - the problem is wealth inequality has gotten exponentially worse since the idea of making the rich richer to help the poor was invented in the 80s to scam people into enriching the rich.

> Tesla's economic activity as a "given" that's good for people and that's good because people are entitled to that, but then down the other side and say "he's hoarding wealth, economics doesn't work!"

Trickle down economics DOESN’T work. Economics works, but it’s just a description of what’s happening.

But to directly address your point: If half of elon’s wealth (in the form of tesla shares) is transferred over the next five years to all tesla workers - do you genuinely believe that tesla will create LESS economic value? Can you point to some specific thing that is harmed besides elon’s ability to buy elections?

The people who do the work should get a larger chunk of the profits from that work. Yes that’s socialism. Use it as a slur all you want. Will a little sliver of socialism fix sustainable product design? Probably not - which is why it wasn’t what anybody was talking about here except you.

Yeah this reads as a total puff piece to me too.

Seems to really want to paint a picture of the king as a pious, diligent, man of the people, yet it only leaves me with the impression that what was intentionally omitted is the true nature of the man.

Just like any officially sanctioned biography of Trump would omit his late night reality TV binge watching, his gorging on fast food and his raping of children, this account embellishes Charles' best qualities while utterly ignoring his worst, so it is of no historical value whatsoever in terms of understanding who he truly was.

This is a fascinating domain! Many years ago, I studied financial accounting in grad school and even spent some time modeling a double-entry bookkeeping system. The hardest problem, if I recall correctly, wasn't the implementation but the data quality. The world needs a golden dataset of accounting procedures.

Regarding the diminishing returns with frontier models:

My general experience working with LLMs is that they perform better incrementally and to avoid contiguous-greedy approaches. Aggregate as you go and don't take on incrementally larger tasks. Keep the workload minimal.

Regarding agentic tool building: feels like I'm looking at a window into the future.

Here in Czechia housing costs are absolutely terrible, which is at least partly caused by an insane, Byzantine permitting process under which a basic block of flats in Prague can spend a decade in bureaucratic limbo before the construction can begin.

Yet this is not really a problem of financialized economy, the roots are elsewhere:

a. lots of NIMBYs, mostly curmudgeonly old people who want to block any change around them and, being in pension, have a lot of time to throw at thwarting anything. My personal experience is that they aren't really looking for money or profit, they just Simply Hate Anything New, Period,

b. the ease of weaponizing environmental and planning regulations against any building project, by the means of lawsuits,

c. local mayors have de facto (though not de iure) influence on the permitting process and they don't want to lose this tool of power over their constituents. It is an efficient way how to bash your enemies and reward your friends.

From what I know about the US, at least a. and b. apply in many places, too.

You're literally restating the same point that the original poster has already made in his comment. You're agreeing with him.

Seems like you just read the first phrase of his comment and immediately went into an adversarial "are you being sarcastic?" loop. Because the point you made is what came immediately after the part you quoted in his original comment:

> [...] but let's play out the worst case scenario and a fascist government comes to power and something I do now is considered criminal and they can place me doing it with this DNA that as the author describes can narrow down if it was me pretty easily.

O365 is a poor amalgamation of like 18 different things. Quite frankly I hope there isn't a true "alternative" to it.

The reason orgs use Sharepoint is they are forced to if they use Microsoft. One drive is sharepoint, teams is sharepoint, sharepoint sites is sharepoint, etc...

I'm sure all those things have better alternatives, but Microsoft shoves them down your throat when you license with them.

Fascinating seeing what you had to know to use these early desktops.

All these desktop environments start out blank. By contrast modern desktop environments help you understand what you can do by showing always-present visual guides, cues to what’s running now, & launchers. Windows 95’s Start Menu is the most iconic tipping point for the trend of making it easy to see what you can do with your computer.

Current LLMs show a blinking cursor. Yes they can call tools, run code, and generate images in styles you’ll only know to ask for it you’re an art expert. But right now you have to know those capabilities exist. Even experts forget to use them at times. And novices get frustrated that an LLM can’t sort a list of names - even though all they have to do is ask it to write code for itself and the task will be easy.

What will the AI “Start Menu” be!

Lets pretend what you are saying is true, which it is not. Who would you want to access your data ? The State or the "underworld". Many countries have laws on how to access your data. The underworld, you may wake up dead.

Granted there are countries that act like a Criminal Org., but if you live there you have more issues than your data.

With proprietary software, it is a much larger chance that backdoors exist than in Open Source. Many of us heard of 1 issue where it was claimed a project had a Gov sponsored BH in it. They did a long audit and found that was false.

Eventually Open Source backdoors will found in Open Systems. Proprietary you are SOL unless you do very expensive and very hard testing. Even then it is doubtful you will find a backdoor.

I think if we'd had a "normal" administration, this probably would have been pushed by the US government. The US services have been gunning for this for decades. But we have an administration that seems extremely disjointed in what it wants to do and why it wants to do it. I'm kind of curious about the internal conversations that must be happening on the other side of 5-eyes nations services as they're trying to accomplish their ends with such an unpredictable ally.

> Chat bots are ad free because they are in the expansion phase.

It is remarkable how many people do not understand this. We just had this conversation re: Netflix. 10 years ago, everyone was happy to spit on the grave of cable TV for daring to bundle channels together without an a la carte option AND throw in ads on top. That's what every streaming service is now doing, because there's not enough money to be made in "giving consumers what they want".

If I'm not wrong, productivity is measured as economic output/ hours worked. It seems pretty obvious that when people decide to reduce the hours worked, they will start pruning the less economically rewarding tasks first. How's that old adage: "work expands to fit the time available".

So I would expect that by cutting the hours, the economic output decreases less than proportionally, and therefore productivity grows.

> replaced by microtransactions

I assume you mean micro payments?

Since the dawn of a more commercial internet (80's?) this has been pointed out as the holy grail, for example to replace ads and newspaper subscriptions. So how do you think this could now materialize? In general I think individual financial transactions are getting more expensive, making micro payments even more unlikely then ever before.

But it's understandable why an org would prefer that to having to maintain and manage the 18 things, right? It's a hard sell.

I'm not saying that wouldn't be better, but it makes sense why an org would be reluctant. Again, not a fan of Sharepoint myself, but from an org's viewpoint, moving to Linux raises more problems than it solves.

The discoverability sucked because Apple never rolled this out to all of the devices, themselves grossly under utilized the feature and eventually ghosted it.

It was by far the best cursor control paradigm on iOS. Now everything is long press which is slow and as error prone.

I’m all for proposing different paradigms as accessibility but 3dtouch was awesome.

Literally has no value at this time. Apple lost the AI battle and Tim is cooked.

The nail in the coffin was Apple's reluctance to allow their own MLX team to use the source code of Apple Neural Engine (ANE) to make performance improvements.

In other words, Apple would rather die in the AI field than open-source their ANE code to the world.

It's taking me to the recall page, not sure why it's not working for you.

See also the CPSC link:

https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2025/More-than-One-Million-Anke...

(Notably, this page mentions "Anker has received 19 reports of fires and explosions. This includes two reports of minor burn injuries not requiring medical attention and 11 reports of property damage totaling over $60,700." Puts it into context! That's not a house, but with numbers like that, I wonder if a couple cars were destroyed.)

There's also Anker's product recalls main page:

https://www.anker.com/product-recalls

which adds a few other models with different enclosures but presumably with the same upstream manufacturer to the recall.

I've learned to live with having WireGuard/Tailscale on all the time on my own devices. But for giving (extended) family & friends access to shared albums with Immich, it's too impractical to configure and explain widely. I've been using a Cloudflare Tunnel for this situation with their "Zero Trust" email-based authentication. It probably won't work with the Immich mobile app though, since I doubt that client can handle Cloudflare's interstitial login screen.

There are present-day analogies here as well. First the detachment of fighter pilots, even more extreme with (predator) drone pilots, where dropping bombs on cars, buildings, the occasional wedding, became an actual 9-to-5 job.

Once the focus shifts to autonomous drones, I guess we'll get the next stage of that detachment, for the software engineers that developed those things. You can write a cool tech blog about how you designed the training pipeline for your killing machine...

Are you nuts?

X-ray inspection is not that rare, there’s even small assembly houses here (Spain) that can do xray automated inspection.

This has been standard for years to the point I’ve been sent forms for assembly houses RFQ where there are checkboxes for xray inspection, and I haven’t handled a serious assembly development in ~4 years.

What’s new and they’re advertising here is CT, which is another level.

Using modern tools I would naturally be inclined to:

1. Have the LLM see the image and produce an text version using a kind of semantic markup (even hallucinated markup)

2. Use that text for most of the RAG

3. If the focus (of analysis or conversation) converges one image, include that image in the context in addition to the text

If I use a simple prompt with GPT 4o on the Palantir slide from the article I get this: https://gist.github.com/ianb/7a380a66c033c638c2cd1163ea7b2e9... – seems pretty good!

Kinda?

The fact that they chose to tie it to and advertise it as "get paid to see ads" is a significant turn-off in my mind even if the rest of the ecosystem theoretically works in functionally the same way.

In my mind, the entire point is to get away from advertising as a revenue stream entirely. I want to pay for the things I consume. If the advertising market has decided that my page impression is worth less than pocket change, I'd far rather just give that money to the publisher directly and avoid ads being part of the equation.

The core idea behind BAT isn't bad, but the marketing is pretty terrible if you're targeting people like me.

Sorry, I don’t know the answer to your question, but I can offer some possible insight into why it’s used so much.

We’re on Microsoft 365 and technically fall into the camp of “uses SharePoint”, but only for “shared network folder” usage which OneDrive seamlessly synchronizes should you dislike the web interface. We don’t actively use any other features of it.

Also worth mentioning that realtime collaboration and automatic versioning of Office documents is seamless for files on SharePoint, even if opened on a desktop on a OneDrive synchronized folder.

Files shared over Teams as well as meeting recordings are also stored on SharePoint.

My point is that SharePoint is used a lot but possibly not in the way one might have assumed.

I don’t know if self hosted SharePoint can do all this.
