soo... i have no kept up with what's gone on in russia/ukraine. Are those drone videos what i think they are – drones sneaking up on humans and, presumably, ceasing them of life?

edit: Ok, I googled the guy

tehlike's neither showed any sort of authority nor did his reference of chatgpt. I would have preferred your comment.

Presumably everyone could have asked chatgpt.

God I hatelove this type of comment. You're totally right, but it's a complete repudiation of my initial reflex, which is to make a mockery of this.

Great perspective. I'm going to do this. Haha.

laborcontract — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 20:36:52 +0000

Please do so. And, forgive me if I speak heresy, but there has to be more proof of work (friction) to create accounts. I was shocked at how easy it is for something like chatgpt atlas to create new accounts on the fly.

Big time agree. I don't like the person, but i have great respect for his fearless capex spending.

I'm going to have to create an Awesome Best OSINT dashboards github repo to answer that.

I've seen so many of these in the last week alone.

I need a realtime OSINT dashboard for OSINT dashboards.

New comment by laborcontract in "AI doesn't replace white collar work"

laborcontract — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 19:37:36 +0000

I'm tired of arguments like this. If AI is helping you do work that you would have otherwise have had to pay people to do, then it is replacing white collar work.

Can we please, please move past this generation of bean-counter CEOs. Google and Apple have done great things under Pichai and Cook, and yet I couldn't been less excited for what either is doing.

Bring back experimental culture.

I was going to make some stupid joke in the comments saying that I thought this blog post would be about "Markdown.. on the edge!".

After reading the blog, turns out it is about markdown on the edge. lmao.

New comment by laborcontract in "Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2026)"

laborcontract — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 00:57:55 +0000

I like this. It reminds me of the interesting type of experimentation that was done with LLMs before agentic coding took over as the primary use case.

I am interested in seeing a personal version of this. Help people work out their own brain knots to make decision-making easier. I'm actually decent at mending fences with others. Put making decisions myself? Impossible.

I have a very hard time getting worked up over this. There are a ton of entrants in this category, they all generally look the same. Cribbing features seems par for the course.

It's already out.

Codex Monitor seems like an Antigravity Agent Manager clone. It came out after, too.

Bunch of the features u listed were already in the codex extension too. False outrage it its finest.

New comment by laborcontract in "Meta's crawler made 11M requests to my site in 30 days"

laborcontract — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 04:24:24 +0000

Obviously horrendous but why isn’t this person monitoring his site?

Also, why do people use vercel nowadays? I’m sure there are reasons, but I moved over to railway (you can insert alternative provider here) and I no long f* around trying to fix page load time due to cold starts, I have predictable pricing, and my sites on railway are fast so much faster. Plus, if cost is a factor, railway offers serverless. It’s not as shiny as vercel, but nextjs works perfectly on it.

It astounds me that vercel has positioned themselves as a sanctuary city for normies and yet, the city is littered with landmines and booby traps.

counterpoint:

- The readme is two lines and has six words, one of which is a typo.

- Claude would never commit a node_modules folder unless coerced.

It’s disrespectful to casually call things AI-generated. I wish people would do it less unless they have 1) proof and 2) a meaningful reason for it.

I was in the market looking for some fun iOS games, things that I could play casually, pick up in a moment, load quickly, and not be burdened by the ridiculousness of modern gameplay and incentive mechanics. To my surprise, it was very hard. I couldn’t find anything. This is exactly what I’m looking for.

Your comment doesn't address my point. The same criticism applies to any medium.
