Zig 0.17 should solve this with incremental compilation. What you said will stay but should only apply for the first compilation.

Just in case the model has ADHD too, I am using a minified version of it:

Yes, and they specifically mention "Up to 10.7x faster LLM prompt processing in LM Studio" which is probably using the neural accelerator for prefill.

You can't imagine how much your example calls home!

In my opinion, library authors should really minimize the amount of dependencies they have. Back to TypeScript, we are also the authors of https://github.com/okcontract/cells and we made a point of almost not having dependencies or even devDependencies.

Rust suffers from the same faults as the JS ecosystem. Any significant crate imports hundreds if not thousands of dependencies. The probability that one of the authors gets targeted by AI-assisted attacks is just too high.

Also most of these dependencies provide a breadth of features that the end package does probably not need.

Was considering a Pixel 11 Pro, just cancelled it. Will wait for the Moto release. Thanks for your work!

New comment by hbbio in "Pixel Watch 5"

This. I don't see the point of using a Pixel Watch or an Apple Watch or any watch that has 1 or 2 days of battery max.

My 3 year old Garmin has 2+ weeks battery life and is tracking activity, ox (ok, it's not medical grade), sleep, etc.

Also it does _not_ have a mic (something we're going to pay extra in a few years the way things go) and is not connected to anything wirelessly. No need for another device to set it up and you decide when you get data out using USB.

Show HN: NoDiff, a framework that lives in your monorepo

hbbio — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 14:42:07 +0000

Played with this idea a few months ago, but forgot to share.

Basically, it's a minimal web framework (I've been writing these for the last 15 years, notably with Opa) that AI agents should maintain together with an app in a monorepo. So you can always extend it your way. Curious to see what HN thinks of the concept.

Another beauty of free software is they took the project from gitea and gogs before that.

Reminds of Chris Lemons, who survived for 30+ minutes without oxygen at the bottom of the North Sea. Cold water (and experience, like staying calm) probably played a large part. He went back to diving a few weeks after!

I also misread the updated title.

"Frontier models break the open CTF format" is good

"Frontier AI..." means wtf is Frontier AI.

Because of course it exists (just googled it): https://frontierai.company/

Given they have "unlimited" AI usage, do we expect the port to be complete tomorrow?

The elephant in the room is something else.

iPhones need desktop mode. Your apps, your data. USB-C screen + Bluetooth keyboard/mouse. Running like iPadOS or even macOS.
