ah, yeah, patent trolling is pretty horrible (and Bezos is known for this - one click)...

... although, just to play a little devil's advocate, Bezos doesn't get enough credit for jump starting private spaceflight companies. Blue Origin was started 2 years before SpaceX. Am sure Blue Origin racked up a ton of patents.

Your later point is hard to convey to people who don't want to hear it.

I don't want AI content, even if it is as good, or even if it were better. The human element IS the point, not an implementation detail.

An AI song about sailing at sea is meaningless because I know the AI has never sailed at sea. This is a standard we hold humans to, authenticity is important even for human artists, why would we give AI a pass on it?

And I mean this earnestly, if an AI in a corporeal form really did go sailing, I might then be interested in its song about sailing.

> I also created a small editing suite for myself where I can draw bounding boxes on images when they aren’t perfect, and have them fixed. Either just with a prompt or feeding them to Claude as image and then having it write the prompt to fix the issue for me (as a workflow on the api)

Are you talking about Automatic1111 / ComfyUI inpainting masks? Because Nano doesn't accept bounding boxes as part of its API unless you just stuffed the literal X/Y coordinates into the raw prompt.

You could do something where you draw a bounding box and when you get the response back from Nano, you could mask that section back back over the original image - using a decent upscaler as necessary in the event that Nano had to reduce the size of the original image down to ~1MP.

Emails are also instructions to a computer-based service (SMTP) that you presumably signed your rights away to when you accepted the T&Cs.

Yet no one would think it's acceptable for the NYT and a dozen other news organizations to request an "anonymized" archive of all your emails from provider X, just because said provider is in a lawsuit with them, and you have nothing to do with any of it.

This is shameful, and would create a dangerous precedent. Really hope the order gets struck down.

Then, I imagine there are cases of people accidentally consuming poisonous mushrooms in every corner of the world. I do not expect this tool to change that situation completely, but it would be great if it could at least reduce the number of poisoning incidents, even if only by one. However, after developing it, I am unsure how to promote it, and I do not know whether the current version is already sufficient. Therefore, I truly need everyone's feedback and suggestions! Thank you!

In the grand scheme of things supporting a rocket turnaround, sending somebody out with a wrench (to detach the harpoons from the leg) and a grinder (to smooth out the deck surface) probably isn't that big of a deal.

However, for an alternative that would be wild to see from a rocket: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beartrap_(hauldown_device)

It cannot be taken for granted that arriving at the hospital alive, he would stay alive. A massive heart infarct or other fatal incident (aortic rupture, lung embolism) must be ruled out through an autopsy which is strongly indicated, if not taken.

Such a sudden death usually is predated by alarming symptoms like minor chest pains in the past few days or by a history, like heavy smoking, uncontrolled hypertension/diabetes or a covered anxiety/stress

An ambulance is for emergencies but unfortunately only effective for hour-long ones, not minute-long. For the latter self transport might work in a life or death situation.

> All representative bodies have rules. They have to in order to function. The House, like the Senate, has rules. And both of them can amend them by simple majority.

You're missing the point. Of course they have rules. But to effectively make it so that you need 60% to pass anything is very different from ordinary parliamentary rules.

> (Until recently, the public didn't have a particular opinion on the filibuster [1].)

Until recently, the Senate filibuster was completely different from what we have now. It used to be something that sometimes allowed Senators to make a show of delaying legislation. This thing where nearly nothing can be passed without 60 votes is new.

> The filibuster has only been invoked this session around this budget dispute.

This means nothing. The rule isn't a secret. Things that couldn't achieve 60 votes will generally not be brought up in the first place, since it would be a waste of time.

If having a body where each representative represents more people and has longer terms is important, we can have that while still having it be reasonably proportional. The fundamental thing that sets the Senate apart is that it's meant to represent the states themselves, not the people. Thus each state is equally represented, and until the early 20th century they were not elected by the people. That no longer serves a purpose and that's what I'd like to see changed.

New Glenn Falcon 9 Height 96m 70m Payload 45 tons 22.8 tons Fairing 7m 5m

New Glenn significantly increases the capacity to Low Earth Orbit, which is what this first phase of the space race has always been about (for Golden Dome, and to a lesser extent commercial internet constellations). All eyes on Starship now.

Worst local (Australia) example of that

Following a public statement by Hansford about his use of Microsoft's AI chatbot Copilot, Crikey obtained 50 documents containing his prompts... FOI logs reveal Australia's national security chief, Hamish Hansford, used the AI chatbot Copilot to write speeches and messages to his team.

(subscription required for full text): https://www.crikey.com.au/2025/11/12/australia-national-secu...

It matters as he's the most senior Australian national security bureaucrat across five eyes documents (AU / EU / US) and has been doing things that makes the actual cyber security talent's eyes bleed.

WOW.

Okay, this is really, really cool and is exactly my niche, as you mentioned it's kinda a combination of things like Stylus/uBlock Origin filters and custom filters/etc. This is really needed, as for example GitHub code preview is completely and utterly fucked, to put it lightly. Showing symbols, not being able to select code properly without weird visual glitches happening..... requires a bunch of scripts to fix. (https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/54962).

What's your funding plan? You mentioned paid plan, but what's the actual benefit for users that they would pay for this? (I totally would, FWIW).

Do you foresee companies who need to build special widgets for whatever reason for random websites they use as kind of "Extension light" alternatives - your product reminds me of Retool (https://retool.com/), but for website tweaking.

Very cool product, love the ability to do "extra things" which will fix a whole bunch of websites I use everyday that I CBF'd either making an extension to fix or battling the uBlock/stylus filters.

Discoverability will also be needed, kinda like [karabiner elements complex modification rules](https://ke-complex-modifications.pqrs.org/)

edit: no firefox support, sadpants.

This gets to the heart of the real question Cyrus should be asking;

While the market of people who don't want to pay subscriptions might exist, is this the market you want to chase?

Part of building a business is building a customer base. The more "repeat" business you get, the better the business is.

Building your business by targeting people who are cheap (aka Price Sensitive), who are explicitly not going to spend more money with you is not a great business model.

And before thinking about support contracts, or upgrades, remember you are self-selecting people adverse to paying.

Of course cheap people also expect (endless free) support. So just as you're frantically trying to make enough new sales this month to, you know, eat, there's some guy on the phone who bought your software 5 years ago trying to move it to his new laptop...

So yes, of course a market exists. But you might also wonder if it's a market you want...

Might have to be shank insurance, if they get real jail time.

I’m all for paying folks that legitimately have real power and responsibility, very well, but I would also hold them to rigorous standards.

For example, police. A cop having a bad day, can ruin your whole life. Pay the cop well, but also, ruin their life, if they abuse their power.

Again, we’re in the Dark Timeline, so that won’t happen.

500ms is actually a very short interval for heartbeats in modern distributed systems. Kubernetes nodes out of the box send heartbeats every 10s, and Kubernetes only declares a node as dead when there's no heartbeat for 40s.

The relevant timescale here is not CPU time but network time. There's so much jitter in networks that if your heartbeats are on CPU scale (even, say, 100ms) and you wait for 4 missed before declaring dead, you'd just be constantly failing over.

> I had a simple scenario in mind: Hide annoying "shorts" section from youtube.

You can install the script above (copied here: http://tweeks.io/share/script/bcd8bc32b8034b79a78a8564) to remove shorts, no login required :)

> I expected to be able to create a script for myself locally.

When you click to generate a script, a (non-local) LLM assists with the generation. We have tried hard to make something work locally, but it isn't viable with current tech. I apologize if that wasn't clear from the post.

> Why would that lead to spamming requests?

The unfortunate truth of public launches like this is that there are always some bad actors/abusers. I've launched without auth in the past and been burned. Even today, I can see people spamming email sign ups, poking around different endpoints, etc.

Totally understand the friction that auth introduces, and I'm sorry for your experience.

Do you mean plugging a 4k monitor in while gaming, or just in general? If just in general, something's going very wrong since I _only_ use my M1 (not m1 max, not m1 pro) macbook plugged into a 4k monitor (except when traveling), and it's never hot unless I'm playing a game that's really pushing the processor. For most games it barely even gets warm. And for normal web-browsing and netflix-watching it's cool to the touch.

Microsoft is repeating their own history. Initially, they integrated the GUI into the OS (Windows). Now they're integrating AI (another application) into their OS too. The result will be an even slower and more bloated OS, with a bigger maintenance burden.

People are also unhappy with Microsoft's approach to privacy, which will get even worse (if that's possible) with integrated AI.

My confusion here is that if you're doing that, why bother with the cryptography? You can just look the person up in the company database, call them, and say "Hey! Did you just request a password reset?".

If one of your pre-requisites is "There is a trusted out-of-band way for me to validate comms with this person", the crypto is just extra bits.

> Just sayin' that the facts reveal - real historical facts - that 90% of corporate hiring at the peak of the DEI frenzy was "women and minority" .... I hope that you enjoyed it.

Literally how the fuck is this "real historical facts".

You can't just say something is "real historical facts", proceed to pull a number like 90% (???) directly out of your asshole, and then also try to take some high ground around civil discussions.

Nobody wants to have a civil discussion with you because you're a liar and fundamentally a bad faith actor. There is no civil discussion to be had - you are incapable of understanding it.

70% of bugs in a large mature c++ code base come from memory safety bugs. Yes it's not the only type of bug, but it sure is the majority. Other types of logic bugs are also easier to avoid in rust because it's type system is quite powerful. Rust enums make it easier to associate state with specific states, option types actually force you to check if they are valid, result types force you to check for errors, etc. Anyone who's actually migrated a code base from c++ to rust should be able to attest to the benefits.

I agree with you. Zed has a great vision and the team clearly cares, but the foundation still feels a bit shaky. Stability in core workflows matters more than any flashy feature, especially for people who just need their editor to disappear into the background. What gives me hope is that the community feedback is loud and consistent. If the team focuses on tightening the fundamentals, Zed could still become the lightweight but powerful editor everyone hoped for. I’m rooting for them, and like you, I’m ready to give it another full try once the basics feel rock solid.

Tangential question: is this going to eventually ruin e-sports?

What happens when a team of humans are playing against a team of AI, which play in the same conditions, with network lag etc. from a client computer perspective...

And consistently beat the human counterparts for being faster at response time, never make mistakes and not ever getting tired?

Eventually it could kill all MMOs, fill them up with AI players, "farm" with AI that never sleeps, ruin counter strike type games online, etc. Another arms race?

To be honest, the Microsoft store was the biggest single impediment to success the project ever had. All of the ridiculous UWP requirements or exceptions and friction to install doomed it, start menu tile be damned.

And the start menu tile BS wasn't impactful except for the narrowly avoided multibillion dollar GDPR fine Facebook almost fell headfirst into when they declared "mission accomplished" and I realized they forgot the apps existed and escalated, just before the deadline.

I deserved a bonus for finding that, yet it didn't even register on my PSC.

It's not "normal", you have to "apply" (and get auto-accepted) but won't get the rate if you don't know to do that. You'll also get permanently booted from it if you do some things like transfer ownership of an account (if you want to sell an app you made, IIRC you lose access to this program, even if the app makes under a million).

Manufacuring might have been a viable path out of debt after WWII, but it isn't right now. If you look at Germany, its manufacturing sector is in decline, and this is the country's strength. China's outcompeting it. Not only is China no longer just producing cheap knockoffs, it has a better manufacturing ecosystem, and it has surplus manufacturing capacity.

Good question! We think the beginner side of the market is very well catered to. Robo advisors like Wealthfront and Betterment make it dead-easy to start with the basic objective of "growing money". And then there are platforms like Robinhood, good for straight-up gambling. So if you're JUST starting out and don't already have an investing platform, there are plenty of choices.

Our ideal user is someone a bit farther along. They already have a financial base - often $50,000+ invested, usually across several institutions. And that's the key.

Asking people who are already investing to uproot and send their money to another financial platform is a massive point of friction. This causes sky-high customer acquisition costs. We want to both avoid these costs and minimize friction users experience.

This is why a non-custodial model works so well for our market. We work with what they already have.

Objectively we should care because the content is not the whole value proposition of a blog post. The authenticity and trust of validity of the content comes from your connection to the human that made it.

I don't need to fact check a ride review from an author I trust, if they actually ride mountain bikes. An AI article about mountain bikes lacks that implicit trust and authenticity. The AI has never ridden a bike before.

Though that reminds me if an interaction with Claude AI, I was at the edge of its knowledge with a problem and I could tell because I had found the exact forum post it quoted. I asked if this command could brick my motherboard, and it said "It's worked on all the MSI boards I have tried it on." So I didn't run the command, mate you've never left your GPU world you definitely don't actually have that experience to back that claim.

No, actually, you should improve your lifestyle and diet and also take statins.

Ever cardiologist ever will tell you that statins work best when you make diet and lifestyle changes. They tell you that, to your face. It's not a secret. This actually goes for A LOT of medications. Usually, medication + diet and exercise is better than medication alone. They also test medications like this.

Yeah, it does seem like iterative development with hardware is an extremely cash intensive way of development. And yes, what a genius move to fund a lot of this development with Starlink - it's amazing this seemingly off the cuff idea is such a cash cow, and it seemed at least like they got it up and running relatively quickly. Yeah, regardless how someone feels about Elon these days, Starlink has got to be up there for one of the most brilliant moves by an entrepreneur of all time.

And to come back to you point, yeah, I do see, you need the funds first to be able to support such a cash hungry way of development - which, on a tangent, kind of disappointed me (and a few others online) when Stoke Space decide to build their own 1st stage instead of just focusing on their unique 2nd stage. Like many in the past have mentioned, it seems like they'd be getting to space a lot quicker if they had just designed their 2nd stage to fit on a Falcon 9.

It is.

It also plays into the hands of the Chinese government to flatten the concept of ethnicity, culture, nationality and border into one.

That way, the mainland government, as the main party justify and legitimise themselves as the inheritors of Qin Shi Huang's 'unified China' legacy [1]. This shows up constantly and throughout the mainland domestic media, education system and narrative of the CCP bringing development, celebrating (a one-sided Confucian centric) culture and protecting borders from the century and millenia old concept of 'harmful external forces'.

A 'Chinese AI' model or ecosystem isolationist narrative promotes the Party domestically as the maternal incubator force of such: of development the domestic population is constantly reminded would not have been possible after the ashes of WWII without the Party. While externally gives fodder for protecting Chinese (its self declared protectorate) against such subducation it itself fosters. In doing so closes the circle of the increasingly isolationist policy of the past decade+.

I’m all for going with the tried and true, boring, battle-hardened option, but a Dell over a Framework crosses a line.

I upgraded my FW13’s display to the newer higher res model, and the whole upgrade process was 20 minutes, from power down to power up.

Repairability isn’t an exciting “wow factor” gimmick, it’s something that should’ve been table stakes for decades, and Framework is delivering on it.

Canonical needs snap in order to distinguish them from all the other Linux distros, so they've gone overboard to make sure that you "need" it.

I think it's horrible that they've taken extreme measures to overtly circumvent their users' desire to run the Firefox distributed through Mozilla's repo.

The following link describes how to overcome the latest version of Canonical's extreme insistence on the snap version of Firefox. It's almost laughable when you see how far they've gone to try to lock you in.
