I'm a little unclear on this. You say it's a replacement for Temporal, but the GitHub repo says it's a replacement for the temporal python client SDK?

Then in the description you say "This lets you run durable workflows, activities, signals, updates, retries, and recovery without needing any infrastructure except Postgres." but your diagram shows worker nodes outside of the Postgres server, so you do need infrastructure beyond the Postgres instance?

Veritasium did a video a few weeks ago about scientists trying to figure out where a space based GPS jamming signal came from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz23G_UXCGA

Can you give any examples of societies that went to the brink and reversed course? I can't think of any, but I'd be fascinated to learn more about examples who have.

Bullshit. Shotguns are not designed to have a wide pattern close up. They're designed to have a wide pattern out at 40 yards or so.

Sawed off shotguns have a wider pattern closer, but it's wildly random and impossible to aim with any real effectiveness.

I have both. I shoot trap. My gun on my bedside is a p226 with a flashlight that has a strobe option.

Neither of these two movies are my jam, but I'm glad they are finding success. It's giving me hope that we're going to get a revitalized movie industry focusing on new IP and talent.

> Strictly speaking, they don't even need us as customers. They can just have the robots build them yachts and mansions directly. And act as security guards.

That sounds like we'll devolve into wars over resources so houses can build more war-bots and get more resources....

I'm almost certain this is the case. There's other videos where she talks about calling an executive meeting to hand in her two weeks and another one complaining that the corporate offices don't have ac or windows. I think it's all engagement bait.

Did any other manufacturers build their own version? It seems like the right long term idea but the lack of other players seems to indicate there's some underlying issue that isn't solved yet.

New comment by unsnap_biceps in "Claude Account Suspended Seconds After Purchase?"

unsnap_biceps — Thu, 14 May 2026 18:11:05 +0000

I had the same thing happen. I use Claude at work, and I wanted to use it at home. I created a new account and purchased the year long subscription, got confirmed and then banned. I emailed a few times and ended up doing a charge back and presume I'm blacklisted from them forever now.

No VPN, zero tokens used, just new account, purchase year plan and immediate ban.

I believe it's a one time pairing code, not each print. FWIW I like the design.

I've been meaning to investigate Nitro Enclaves[1] for exactly this but haven't made the time yet. Have you looked into them and found them lacking?

It's patching the binary in memory, so the binary patch would be architecture dependent. The existing one is only x86_64, but with an updated payload, it would work on arm.
