Great idea! I tried this just after reading your comment, 20s later I had a working extension that does exactly this for HN. Thank you!

A blazing fast chip, even by Apple standards. Exceeds M5 iPad Pro in single core for a new record. It even surpasses the iPad Pro M3 on multi-core, so very capable indeed. All iOS devices on Geekbench: https://browser.geekbench.c

My biggest bugbear with Gemini is that I can’t organise chats into folders and projects. It’s such a powerful model, truly useful for general purpose and marketing tasks… but the UX is basic beyond belief. I literally find myself using AI S

I briefly worked in the web agency SaaS space and hoooo boy, I have never known a more gossipy or dramatic industry. That’s not to pass comment either way on Mullenweg It’s just WordPress folk are nuts.

This sounds really great. Can’t wait to start relying on it for them to abandon it in 2 years after neglecting it for most of that time since launch.

I found myself trying to come up with a system that used the position of my hands to “solve” the problem for me. But then I worried if my system worked, I would be misdiagnosed. It didn’t work. I was 98th percentile. Thanks for sharing this

There’s a specific GDPR carve out as outlined by the ICO here: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-re... I don’t have evidence that shows specific examples of where it happens, but the state appar

There’s also transparency theatre here. “If it WAS part of a nefarious system, surely we wouldn’t be talking about it so openly?” It’s especially disappointing when the entire system is foiled by the balaclavas worn by so many of the countr

You WILL be charged for not giving the PIN to your phone in an investigation. It’s a strict liability offence which means there’s no legal defence. The only realistic protection here is a “decoy” partition, a partition that provides access

This is a mature and considered take. But I’m sure you’ll agree: incompetence is not a reliable defence. So what happens when using and optimising these systems becomes a priority for the state? The apparatus is there, and capabilities can

It’s a moot point. I’m saddened at the invasion of privacy and the intrusion on an individual’s civil liberties, but anonymous travel on the London Underground died when they made bank cards and contactless the primary way to get through th

Man that Apple Watch strap is GORGEOUS. And an Apple Watch app is a great idea for this! But I just can’t bring myself to try out ANOTHER meeting notetaker app. The space just feels so commoditised. How different will this be to Fireflies?

Please do! Trying to imagine how this works.

I find it really interesting that SWEs think this is a good essay. As an experienced marketer, I really disagree. It’s stupid. The barriers to entry / “respect” angle is a weird one to go in. Obviously people will think they can do mar

They might not easily be able to cash out, but they often have more options than people realise. VCs will sometimes invest ‘convertible notes’ which start as debt and “convert” into equity in favourable scenarios. ‘Swamp’ and ‘drag’ clauses

Allow me to suggest a form where people can leave their email to get updates or a newsletter from you! Brevio is the kind of thing that a lot of people look for, and value. The fact you're not charging and it all runs locally earns you

Realistically, almost 1/4 of the world don’t live in a democracy. And probably another 1/4 of the world doesn’t live in a functioning democracy. By your logic, does that mean half of the global population actually ARE at risk of A

I’d love for AI to take my job and free me from the burdensome toil of creating shareholder value. Not sure it will feed my kids, put a roof over my head and look after me as I age and my body fails me though. As mentioned below, it’s easy

We have this though, right? Compare SOTA local models to where the frontier was last year. There weren't many people complaining that last year's frontier models were incapable. Next year, and the year after, Fable, GPT 5.5 and Ge

Leaving money on the table, as opposed to losing it. They make a decent buck on the hardware, but could have charged more (though likely would have sold fewer units).

Are you trying to tell me, in this the year of our lord 2026, somebody has been (rightfully or wrongfully) arrested for literally ‘crying wolf’? There’s something hilariously poetic about a ~2,500 year old fable being relevant today, becaus

Maybe my slop detector isn’t as sharp as yours, maybe the antagonist in me appreciated the author’s tone. I guess I just liked the article!

Absolute insanity from other commenters here. I totally disagree about it being hard to read - it’s fine. And others bitching about being instructed to read the whole thing, clearly didn’t. It’s not JUST about Proton Meet. The article goes

Am I losing it? They can’t be seeing the far side of the moon right now, because they haven’t adjusted course to go round the far side of the moon yet… So does this suggest the BBC is wrong and it’s the side of the moon we’re used to seeing

What’s the trade-off? If it’s smaller, faster and more efficient - is it worse performance? A layman here, curious to know.

One thing I think would be very useful here is national archive data: there will be thousands of letters, memos and official documents shared between people alive back then under the care of a museum or government. One of my dreams is to he
