I’m just waiting for the next iOS release with “Next-gen Swipe powered by Apple Intelligence Pro” (that conveniently only works on the latest 2 generations of iPhone)

You got me curious if modern macs still have an accelerometer, and indeed they do https://www.reddit.com/r/ReverseEngineering/comments/1r9b33m...

I wonder if its sensitive enough to get the same experience without needing a phone on the desk?

Good find though - more than likely the ethereum error the other comment mentioned is coming from Brave on iOS.

Any recent browser exploits involving WASM and webcam apis?

(edit: looks like the ethereum error mentioned below is a vercel / nextjs / brave browser known issue)

Long story short, we built and open-sourced AURA, a Rust-based harness specifically designed for the type of operations work which routinely involves large volumes of telemetry data and coordinated investigations across many domains of knowledge / state. We have found even on open-weights models, root cause accuracy has been very good, and remediation actions are guarded with human-in-the-loop.

AURA runs from a centralized configuration file where workers are defined and scoped to task domains, (e.g. logging review, metrics analysis, and git/scm related queries). All permissions, tools access, LLM backend(s), worker prompts, and the main coordinator prompt are also defined in code. Permitted tool use is enforced deterministically outside the agent's context, so the agent cannot grant itself capabilities through prompting. AURA also handles the rest of the execution layer, such as human approval for sensitive actions and fault tolerance. A lot of thought went into context window management: large tool outputs and worker responses are persisted to disk and agents are given tools to slice/read as needed.

The project is Apache 2.0. You can install rpm/deb/brew natively or pull the source and build your own. It runs either as an assistant on your workstation, or as a daemon that you can connect to via any OpenAI-compatible frontend. The GitHub repo is here: https://github.com/mezmo/aura/

The whole thing is free/Free. No signups or open core trapdoor.

Demo: We put together an 8-minute video showing a checkout outage resolved by following evidence from several different systems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TERHoRzT8cE

tl;dw: 502s from a checkout service cause Grafana to trigger an incident via PagerDuty. AURA (using DeepSeek-V4-Flash) uses its workers and tools to correctly determine root cause as a memory leak in a downstream service, and attributes the incident to a defect in a recently merged PR. The demo then concludes with a human-gated tool call to GitHub, where AURA documents the exact lines of code that are causing the problem, and recommends a fix. Once the PR is deployed, AURA validates that the errors are clearing and transactions are no longer failing. The whole time, AURA’s leaving an audit trail of OTEL events into Phoenix.

Technical details:

AURA uses an agent coordinator that drafts, executes, and supervises DAG flows through user-defined worker agents to solve complex investigations in parallel. Worker agents are bound to strongly typed durable artifacts used as evidence packets, and the system discourages wasteful recalculation of remote data. AURA also has a powerful header routing system that doesn’t allow the agent to actually touch your keys. HITL interrupts over webhook are first class citizens and have a schema that is easy to adapt to your own workflow. HA deployment options are coming soon.

What’s still rocky:

- We’re currently working on the async input system for when you’re running AURA as a service. Right now the API just accepts a request, and streams messages until the main loop completes. It’s easy to integrate into a workflow, but the logic required winds up being heavier than it ought to be.

- Because there’s no inbound webhook interrupt mechanism, automating AURA for IR requires middleware to invoke it or it needs to poll an MCP for alert escalations.

We’re looking for users, contributors, guidance on where to take this next, or just GitHub stars. Looking forward to reading and responding to feedback here.

I suffered from incredibly painful month+ long lasting chronic canker sores (technically apthous ulcers) for the first 3 decades of my life.

Doctors and dentists suggested all the usual triggers (avoid SLS, supplement with B vitamins, etc)

Then one day someone mentioned the connection of NSAIDs and ulcers, and I instantly realized mouth ulcers are.. ulcers...

I used to use ibuprofen occasionally, often enough to not correlate it to canker sores. Of course then I’d use more ibuprofen for that pain, get more canker sores, and be miserable for months.

Haven’t bought ibuprofen for 10 years now and they just stopped. I have used ibuprofen on a couple occasions since I learned this and both times I developed a canker sore. IANAD, YMMV, I’m just happy they’re gone

The building textures could be recreated from the low-res streetview imagery using a pipeline to scale / relight them using image-to-image models. Building shapes could be rebuilt using generative models for 3d mesh components. Road & sidewalk quality (how clean, how faded lines are, etc) could be inferred from imagery as well to be applied to the map.

Super cool project, hoping it continues to evolve!

FWIW, this isn't really how therapy goes. At least from my CBT experiences, its a few minutes of talking about what we're currently struggling with, then decoding those topics to learn how we distort our experiences and memories towards the negative / stressful.

Then usually the "homework" would be small actionable steps to build up habits to become aware of these distortions, as well as habits to make other healthy choices.

Not discounting Andrew's story one bit, just putting a bit more light on what modern therapy aims towards.

I'm potentially leaving a full time gig and looking for a short term contract.

I'm a devops / systems engineer with a ton of AWS and puppet experience. My main responsibilities of late have been migrating huge production applications out of a traditional hand built datacenter environment into a fully automated and autoscaled AWS environment, as well as being a lead on the architecture of brand new environments for new projects.

I'm interested in finding something short term, where I can jump in and quickly start adding value.

My main responsibilities of late have been migrating huge production applications out of a traditional hand built datacenter environment into a fully automated and autoscaled AWS environment, as well as being a lead on the architecture of brand new environments for new projects.

I am largely self managed and independent, and I pride myself on thorough information discovery prior to building anything. I also complete projects with excellent documentation.

Some bullet points:

- 12 year career in building and supporting production web applications

- 8 years experience on AWS

- 3 years experience with puppet

- Wearing a developer hat, I have also built production stable applications in rails, php, and nodejs

- At my current job, I am a lead engineer on supporting our flagship products supporting $100MM+ revenue

- In 3 years I have built, automated, and/or maintained upwards of 110 separate production environments

- In general, I don't maintain an ego, I don't add risk by way of over-confident planning, and I am huge on transparency and documentation.

That's a brief introduction. Contact me if this sounds like what you are looking for and I can send you a resume. I'm interested in finding the right fit, where I can jump in and quickly start adding value.

I spent 2006-2012 on three self funded ventures that didn't come to fruition, which left me tapped for spending ability, several maxed credit cards, and a job in Seattle thats not advancing me career-wise.

I am starting to feel a slip in my creativity, which I think is attributed to some drop in self confidence / depression / anxiety that's been creeping up.

I'm in love with business strategy, project ideas / planning, budgeting, and architecting. I love prototyping, but that leaves me with a gap in mastery of any specific technology.

I'm starting to panic that I'm running out of time to "get my shit together."

I have a potential opportunity to work with an incubator vetting applicant's technology. I'd take that job in a heartbeat, but they are not running yet (probably 1yr+ away)

I would love to take my experience in business, engineering, and product / project management, and find a position where I am helping a growing company with a full pipeline of projects get focused and prioritized.

I'm concerned that as I get older it's harder to find an engineering job. I get bored where it's building and fixing things all day. Management-wise I struggle with giving critical feedback to people as their "boss".

My uncle used to be a manufacturing / process consultant. He had a constant flow of new challenges and companies to work with. This sounds highly interesting to me when applied to tech, but I have no idea where to start.

So, I'm interested to see the discussion about what those of us who are life long hackers (with a ton of varied experiences) can do besides keep writing code or moving into people management. And some advice on how to start down such a path.

Thoughts?
