100%. I had one in my cart before I uncovered this stuff. Obviously people have a right to speak (and to buy the product), but it's too far for me.

Cost per kill ("CPK" in industry lingo) is a dark phrase that feels disturbingly within reach of some of these companies.

50 Cent is up 1 cent to 113 Cent.

Thank you for sharing your story! I wish you continued success and I also hope that one day someone will share with you about how YOUR story helped them do something similar, just like the article did for you.

Also, Preston Thorpe (who Gavin mentions as inspiration) has an interesting story as well: https://pthorpe92.dev/intro/my-story/

Not to go off topic, but there's some similarities between that and the way that Hacker News is run/moderated. But I believe they've found a pretty ideal balance. Even though they occasionally annoy me with with fun things taken down, I understand the need to have some consistency.

Perhaps they need to take a page out of dang (and team)'s book.

Gemini 3.5 Flash's 2000 token clocks aren't bad. https://clocks.brianmoore.com/

Really putting the "fun" in "Neal.fun." Yet another amazing work by Neal Agarwal.

I've been attempting to buy a cross section of one of these cables for a very long time. Anybody got a lead on one?

A bunch of ridiculous experiments with QR.

hi, creator of the site here.

A LONG time ago, I was shared on a document with a brand font and was surprised to see it was a custom one. With a bit of testing, I realized I could pull it into a new document and that new document would then become "infested" with that font and allow me to use it anywhere else within.

I recently realized there must be even more fonts that exist that I don't know of, so (transparently, with the help of Claude,) I ran through a list of potential clients (some listed on Google Workspace's site, some I just assumed) and tested across many. This is the list I came back with.

who wants to screenshot what's on the other side because I sure as hell am not paying to see it!

I love how the site reflects the darkness of the screen in the youtube video. nice touch!

^ this! there's a lot of clocks to generate so I've challenged it to stick to a small(er) amount of code

nice. I restrict to 2000 tokens for mine, how many was that?

hi, I made this. thank you for posting.

I love clocks and I love finding the edges of what any given technology is capable of.

I've watched this for many hours and Kimi frequently gets the most accurate clock but also the least variation and is most boring. Qwen is often times the most insane and makes me laugh. Which one is "better?"

that’s a good idea. in future versions, i might need to consider multiple renderings as different economists likely prefer alternative visualizations of 50’s monetary adjustments

you bet. I pull it straight from the BLS.

it's on a scheduled workflow with github actions that rebuilds the site on the 15th, 30 minutes after the data is released.

cron: '0 13 15 * *'

hi, i made this. thank you for posting.

unfortunately due to the government shutdown, the BLS inflation data for September 2025 is delayed from October 15 (as it normally is) until October 24[1], so please check back then to see if he is >109 Cent.

assuming future stability, the site will automatically update on the 15th of every month.

another riley walz banger!!!

Scroll ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scroll_(web_service) ) was attempting to solve this exact issue.

cool idea and nice execution! one thought: maybe make the time scale on your mini graphs a little longer so you can see larger changes?

I'm working on a website that anybody can update by calling into the phone number in the url. https://715-999-7483.com/

Same boat. Model Y, 2022. Will keep it as long as it lives, but wouldn't be caught dead buying another.

so this means if the % is actively increasing, we could also have a isSomeoneCurrentlyPISSSing boolean

I love this so much.

Salary is set by the year, and with the calculated 6.7 milliseconds of time dilation in the reverse direction (i.e. they will be 6.7ms younger when they arrive), sounds like they should be docked a cent or so.
