Whenever this comes up, all I ever see are hand-wavy responses like this. "It does everything", "it changes your life." But how exactly? Because I can only see this being true for the terminally online.

Depends on how you define "reliably". You can get pretty damn close by triangulating on traffic patterns and browser fingerprinting. There is a lot of research in this area. But it'll never be perfect.

IIRC, they don't have a cellular radio in the vehicle (or even a FM radio). All the connectivity is done via Bluetooth with a mobile app.

It's been a while since I read up on them and things might have changed, but I have a lot respect for what they're doing. Full embracing right to repair and customer privacy when the entire industry is moving at lightning speed in the opposite direction.

You might want to check out Slate. It's about the closest thing to an open vehicle platform I can imagine.

Can you explain your workflow a bit please? Do any of these tools work with Claude/Codex subscriptions or are they API only?

I actually built my own tool that maintains a work graph (DAG-like) with task leases. It allows me to copy and paste pre-written prompts into Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode and all the agents self-coordinate through MCP calls.

I built this after trying hermes and Openclaw but not liking the lack of human-in-the-loop judgement. So I'm wondering if I should keep refining my tool, or evaluate something like pi?

Same issue. Latest version of Firefox 156.0 on Ubuntu GNOME. AMD Radeon 860M.

Unticking the WebGPU checkbox and reloading didn't do anything.

This is pretty much just a reinvented Matrix protocol. Nearly identical.

Assuming that is an actual Jobs quote, it's pretty on-brand for him. Carpenters don't make furniture.

That's typical executive lack of awareness of the skills and roles of the little people charged with fulfilling their grand vision.

Man, what a weird thing to complain about.

Most days I feel like I must be the dumbest person on HN. I don't understand what 80%+ of submissions are about. But if it sounds interesting, I'll dig into it a bit and learn a few things along the way.

Yeah, there is... Post your tooling to GitHub and link to it with a human-written description in a place like HN or Reddit.

I don't know why this has to be reinvented?

> it's still your code

I wholly agree with your comment, but is it legally "your code"? Copyright is implicit at the moment of human creation. But there isn't yet settled law on AI-assisted creation.

So it might be a problem for projects to accept contributions where it's not clear who actually owns that work.

Not really. The term is a shortened version of "sucks eggs", which is originally from Shakespeare and used to describe an odious creature or habit (a weasel in Shakespeare's case).

Asking as someone who's only every rolled his own or used Cognito: What's the problem with Auth0?

Auth is a bit of a different beast when it comes to the build vs buy debate though. A competent auth provider has the infrastructure (and necessary data) to deflect against DDoS attacks, bots, etc.

You're correct. A consuming application doesn't have anything to do with Reg Z. However, the regulations do dictate the behavior or interface that I can expect from banks, almost like an API contract. It might make more sense if I explain the incident that caused me to add it:

My wife intentionally overpaid on a credit card statement balance in order to gain some credit limit headroom in the current month. Using made up numbers: The balance said we owed $1,000, but she paid $2,000 to make room for a big purchase that month. My application rejected that overpayment as a data integrity error because it would have pushed the credit card balance to -$1,000.

This is a valid state though and Reg Z actually specifies the rules around that case. A bank has to refund a positive balance upon request or automatically after X number of days (I forget the amount).

So now, anytime my agents touch any code associated with credit instruments, they have to run a Reg Z audit to ensure that the data model reflects how banks actually operate in the real world.
