yeah, hackernews killed my poor ip camera again xD

You should get more cameras and run one of them as load balancer in front of the others!

I actually wanna make a cluster at some point

a beowulf cluster? remember those? :-)

I want to make a CPU generation beowulf cluster one day. I'm thinking a Pentium MMX box, a K6-3 box, a Pentium 2 or 3, maybe even a 486 if supported. Then have some compute job that runs across all of them. :D

Nice work, what you're up to is pretty impressive :^)

My problem _still_ with all of the codex/gpt based offerings is that they think for way too long. After using Claude 4 models through cursor max/ampcode I feel much more effective given it's speed. Ironically, Claude Code feels just as slow as codex/gpt (even with my company patching through AWS bedrock). Only makes me feel more that the consumer modes have perverse incentives.

I almost never have to reprompt GPT-5-high (now gpt-5-codex-high) where I would be reprompting claude code all the time. It feels like its faster, doing more, but its taking more of the developers time by getting things wrong.

It’s great for multitasking. I’ve cloned one of the repos I work on into a new folder and use Codex CLI in there. I feed it bug reports that users have submitted, while I work on bigger tasks.

I've been working hard at this problem over at https://kurnell.ai. Our thesis is that going forward it's unrealistic to ban or detect-and-reprimand AI, therefore we need to meet students where they're at and democratize access to the best AI for all.

We have great traction with universities in USA and Australia. The flywheel that we've constructed means that students are being prepared for industry + research in a Post-AI world, and professors can see exactly how students are using AI tooling. Our findings are that knowledge of how students are using AI goes a long way to helping institutions adapt.

Keen to chat and share our findings - reach out at hamish(at)kurnell.ai !


Note that the article references 65B -- this is in AUD.


Extremely well said, as someone from the inner west suburbs I totally get it. Brisbane is having it's time in the sun, we deserve it!


I had hand-done mine on https://kurnell.ai - its really cool to see that I could have computationally done this instead :)

I used rive.app to encode the frames and create a state machine to move between the states. Perhaps I can simplify this even more.


Super cool! I don't see any clear description of what the difference between the pro and the free licenses are. Maybe the website could be updated with that?


I like seeing what users are currently viewing the same page, but man the constant jostling of users coming and going made it hard to read the post.


I have this little bookmarklet in my bookmarks bar that I use constantly. It removes all fixed or sticky elements on the page and re-enabled y-overflow if it was disabled:

javascript: (function () {document.querySelectorAll("body *").forEach(function(node){["fixed","sticky"].includes(getComputedStyle(node).position)&&node.parentNode.removeChild(node)});var htmlNode=document.querySelector("html");htmlNode.style.overflow="visible",htmlNode.style["overflow-x"]="visible",htmlNode.style["overflow-y"]="visible";var bodyNode=document.querySelector("body");bodyNode.style.overflow="visible",bodyNode.style["overflow-x"]="visible",bodyNode.style["overflow-y"]="visible";var nodes=document.querySelectorAll('.tp-modal-open');for(i in nodes) {nodes[i].classList.remove('tp-modal-open');}}())


They have been called “dickbars” before [0].

Huge fan of killsticky and using it everywhere!


Same here. Right-click the page and choose Inspect (or Inspect Element). Click the Console tab, paste this code, and press Enter:

    document.getElementById("presence")?.remove();
If you want to know why this is happening in your brain, it's likely a prey/predator identification thing. I would like to think that being so distracted by this just means I have excellent survival instincts :)

Can just right click remove node.


I thought my instructions would work universally, across all desktop browsers. I have also been known to overthink things.


uBlock Origin also lets you "zap" elements away. No console fiddling required.


Reminded me so much of a game called Chess Royale that I used to play, the avatars and the flags (screenshot [1]). It was really good too; and then Ubisoft being Ubisoft, they killed it even though the game had bots and could have been made single-player.

isn't this the page that used to have cursors everywhere in the background? I think the distracting design is some intentional running joke at this point


Try "dark mode" foe further trolling.


Great way to remove the jostling users...!


I tried uBlock's element zapper and ended up playing a furious game whac-a-mole :D


Same here. I don't have the time or patience to hack the page like the siblings comments suggest. There are more articles on the web than I will ever be able to consume in my lifetime, so I just close the tab and move on when the UX is aggressively bad.


It's hilarious but I literally can't click on their gh or patreon links because of it


natural selection at work


I found Safari’s “hide distracting items” feature was necessary to finish the article.


Inatant tab close for me. So obnoxious.

The idea is kinda cute, but the implementation is aggressive.


Maybe if the background color on all pages was a heatmap of the current top line of the page, so that you could see where people were reading and how many were reading, it would be better?

Also, what if it played slow and brooding music when fewer people were reading and epic action adventure music when many people were reading it?

How about if the page mined bitcoin and the first person to enter a page made a percentage higher percentage of the next person’s bitcoin and less of the next one, like a multi-level marketing mining strategy?


That heatmap idea sounds really neat actually.


It's pretty fun seeing what countries people are from. If you hover, it tells your their city as well!


I ended up using safari remove distracting content, which seemed to work nicely.


i literally opened the developer console to delete that element from the page. no surprise somebody who has no idea how to make a readable website is getting bullied by a chatbot.


Certainly not built to help those with ADHD in mind.


Its the bottom 20px or so, with a lot of content above it. Move the window down slightly.


The article literally starts with:

"Any person who has used a computer in the past ten years knows that doing meaningless tasks ..."

I guess this is demonstrating another variant of that. Admittedly, not one I'd seen before so +1 for novelty even if -20 for distraction.


that webmaster should ask himself, if it is so easy implement does it mean you SHOULD implement it? I just immediately closed the page.


I wonder if it's GDPR-compliant.


Why wouldn’t it? It’s anonymous and he probably doesn’t store the data.


This sounds great, and is similar to the workflow I get from a high level stand point with https://ampcode.com/ - albeit without the model wrangling.

To the author & anyone reading - publicly release your agent harnesses, even if its shit or vibe coded! I am constantly iterating on my meta and seeking to improve.


My father spent a lot of time in Surry Hills in the 90s. Got the shock of his life when I told him I was moving there. I have been living around the area for the past 4 years, and he was amazed just how much had changed while I was showing him around recently!
