Tried to visit the first domain, baydailymedia, but doesn't seem to exist... I know its unsurprising and not against the rules or even spirit of showing off your new toy, but some humor in the aria tag "Video of user creating a protein maxing Skill" and then within the video, a fat "Video for illustrative purposes" "Results may vary" "check response for accuracy"

Second video seem's more real. And yeah, again not against the rules, but dropping onto website, no ads, prompting data out of it is very in the ethos of our current "lets just do an ai" to be relavent era.

For those out of the know, Nova Launcher is an Android home screen replacement... so hits home when the root of your phone existence gets shook piece by piece.

Crashes like a Windows ME screensaver. Jokes aside, it's very fun to see open firehose access like this. I seem to recall that Dorsey had said that twitter limiting their api access was a mistake, hope we can keep this going.

Fun hypothetical, or can someone solve? How long, would this regex prime check [1] (via hn 2009) take to run on this on todays average machine?

Hitchhiker's Guide's Deep Thought "42" was 7.5 million years, just for a guide-post.

I love a good useless program, I may have written more useless ones than useful. Here's a few of my faves from the last 10 years!

Here's the HN conversation from 2020 [1], a little closer to when this came out.

I've got maybe 4 extensions that are manifest V2 that just purely don't seem worth upgrading/fixing up (my largest with 5-10k installs) due to the time/5+ year old code that has been working fine on the old apis... Has chrome done some outreach to the popular extensions, or maybe just gone past a point where they're happy to kill off the old and move onto the new? Or is this purely about ublock etc?

As someone that works in media/advertising, the first thing I check when I see something like this is their ads.txt [1] -- It looks like they're managed by ezoic whom you forward your entire dns and they inject ads in the middle (AI is mentioned, naturally). Definitely ruining this whole site's experience.
