Series 12 may finally fix that for you. They mention that the new heart rate sensors handle motion better.

You can get to it wherever you want. Copilot CLI is pretty great: https://github.com/features/copilot/cli

There's support in VS Code and Jetbrains IDEs. You can access your agent sessions on the web.

(I work at GitHub, but not on Copilot)

I was thinking the same. Especially now that Obsidian has a CLI to work with the vault.

The one thing I saw in the README is that lat has a format for source files to link back to the lat.md markdown, but I don't see why you couldn't just define an "// obs:wikilink" sort of format in your AGENTS.md

Seems plausible. Travel (some international), hotels, taxis, venues, food, and entertainment. It adds up. Probably not a single day event.

As a heavy Meetup user, I can say that Bending Spoons absolutely fixed some glaring, long-standing bugs. But their massive price increases have really driven people away, and some of their attempts to grab more money (Meetup+) really rankled a lot of people. Also, search still sucks.

According to the article, the judge's memorandum said about index data access:

> Google must provide Web Search Index data (URLs, crawl metadata, spam scores) at marginal cost.

I'm guessing that the "marginal cost" of a search is small and it's not connected to the how much ad revenue that search is worth.

Something interesting about your comment is that HN also has a post today (https://tigerbeetle.com/blog/2025-10-25-synadia-and-tigerbee...) about TigerBeetle's support for Zig and their reason for using Zig specifically talked about wanting something for a long time horizon:

> Investing in creating a database like TigerBeetle is a long term effort. Databases tend to have a long half life (e.g. Postgres is 30 years old). And so, while Zig being early in 2020 did give me pause, nevertheless Zig’s quality, philosophy and simplicity made sense for a multi-decade horizon.

Synadia's announcement, https://www.synadia.com/blog/synadia-tigerbeetle-zig-foundat..., says:

> There are no plans to move the NATS server to Zig.

> Zig will become a Tier 1 NATS client, and Synadia will utilize Zig in resource constrained environments to bridge OT/IT for manufacturing, IIOT, connected cars, robotics and embodied AI.

> I wonder why folks who start with roughly the same skills, intelligence and opportunities (and bank account balance!) can nevertheless end up in very different places?

External factors (aka luck), perhaps? Someone gets their resume into a job just after they made the last hire for that position. Or the car they can't afford to fix breaks down on the way to the interview.

Cloudflare has a gmail competitor?

This is something I've wondered about. I started out in the green screen era and remember how amazingly quick those UIs were to navigate. I don't see any reason why we couldn't replicate much of that UX and development model, but deliver it to web browsers with graphical capabilities in the parts of the system that need it.

I feel like mouse+keyboard is a step down in speed of use for many tasks, but I do wonder about touch screens. For some things, touch screens can be plenty fast and the UI adapts to the task.

Curious why you say this. It says in the readme it can do 100K lines per second.
