Official press release from ASIC (no paywall) https://www.asic.gov.au/about-asic/news-centre/find-a-media-...

I bought a FujiFilm X-E5 recently, which is an amazing camera for size and money, but I shocked at how miserable their iOS app is. It takes several minutes per photo to transfer. The camera and phone run out of battery before a small memory card is transferred.

So I got Claude to help me reverse engineer their protocol using a mixture of BT and Wifi capture tools, then built a native app in Swift that works on Mac and iOS and by disabling a bunch of on camera processing I got it to transfer a photo in about 3 seconds over wifi bridge. I’ve been able to multithread this to 3 concurrent downloads without crashing the camera.

It’s too “load bearing”

I did, they asked me to open a support ticket, which I did, and the last response I got was:

We've reviewed the details you provided and updated your case with the necessary information. It is now being routed to the appropriate team for further support.

That was July 2025!

Has anyone here used Telnyx? I tried to build a product against their API last year and 3 weeks after signing up they banned my account and made it impossible to get an answer as to why or re-enable it.

This is VERY new, like nothing more than some AI written docs and a readme.

The last time I applied for a credit card (about 4 years ago) in Australia, the bank used an app that read the photo page and chip of my passport to verify that it was a real document. That process does verify the authenticity of the document.

I’ve been playing around with Zed, supports local and cloud models, really fast, nice UX. It does lack some of the deeper features of VSCode/Cursor but very capable.

I’m curious to see if this exists on O2 in NZ. I switched to them last week because they do free roaming in Australia, and VoLTE calls.

Service account file vs API Key have similar security risks if provided the way you are using them. Google recommends using ADC and it’s actually an org policy recommendation to disable SA files.

1Password’s CLI op does a reasonably good job of this

Not available in Australia?

You really don’t need this much to build an MCP server in Go. I built one in a single file: https://github.com/Alcova-AI/perplexity-mcp/blob/main/main.g...

I’m incredibly excited about using this, thanks for the excellent write up.

Get this in the hands of James Hoffman, I’d love to hear his take on it

This happened to me in Bali a few months ago, I ordered a plate of tacos, they came with a side of lime. When I squirted the lime some of it shot out the side and got me right in the forehead. I didn’t think anything of it until it became inflamed and later blistered. I still have a dark patch resembling a drip on my forehead.

Congrats on the launch!

I’m curious to hear more about your pivot from AI workflow builder to document parsing. I can see correlations there, but that original idea seems like a much larger opportunity than parsing PDFs to tables in what is an already very crowded space. What verticals did you find have this problem specifically that gave you enough conviction to pivot?

What would you call it? Source available?

I was working on a project where GitHub copilot refused to work in a currencies.go file because it contained “Vietnamese Dong”. Removing that line made it work.

I don’t live in America so WealthFront and other robo-advisors aren’t available to me

My theory on this is: algo trading on short term, if it works you don’t tell anyone because by trading on the opportunity they decrease the available opportunity to you (efficient market, chaotic systems etc).

Long-term trading doesn’t work like this, in fact you want more people to identify the opportunity and buy to improve your position in the long term, but generally you should be investing on alternative signals not technical analysis.

I would politely ask the author to resubmit the PR in English to ensure a speedy review.

I’m looking for something a bit more specialised, ETFs being the absolute far end of automated.

I have a similar issue with R2 billing, but related to enabling bucket events. Says I need a subscription, which I already have. I opened a ticket in ~March while they were having a huge billing outage. After a month of pinging them every 3 days for an update they closed the ticket without replying marking it as resolved.

I still don’t have access to bucket events.

I want to assume it must be an absolute mess internally where they can’t even reply to a ticket.

This will keep their enterprise customers happy with the most detailed bossware you can imagine. Replay everything your employees did in a day.

With the new frameworks in ios17 it’s clear that Apple is slowly converging on providing the tools for easily compiling for Mac and iPad from the same codebase.

I’ve been using the Go version of Encore for the past year. Overall it’s been really pleasant, a few rough edges that their team helped resolve, but it saved so much time on Ops that it was well worth it.

Roughly 20% faster than the original M1 Max, which scored ~2400 on single core.

As mentioned elsewhere it’s 10% faster than the M2 Max. This is really an impressive step up each year compared to what came before. If Apple continues this trend I’ll probably upgrade every 2 years.

Agreed. This makes me incredibly uncomfortable. I'd rather a simple SDK that pushes the contact details to their API.

Regardless of how you personally feel about 737Max, hundreds of them are flying every day without issue.
