These SpaceX scams are rampant on youtube and highly, highly lucrative. It’s crazy and you have to be very vigilant, as whatever is promised lines up with Elon’s MO.
it requires zero vigilance if you dont play the game.

Who uses versioning numbers like that?

I've never think about LLMs providers like a cloud provider. I can jump providers whenever I want. I jumped from OpenAI to Anthropic to Open router. Given the parity of tooling and quality of SOTA models I fail to see where the vendor lock is.
semantic versioning (Major.Minor.Patch) is widely adopted and was standard practice in the 90s.
If you need to do this then start by figuring out why you need to do it, and adjust your approach too your threat model.
Because the most significant evidence we have lately is that in-person meetings or dead drops and other low tech means are how you avoid being tracked.
Turning on any sort of radio transmitter is just turning on a big flash light into the sky.
Turning on anything relatively uncommon is even worse: normal people have cellphones and use them. They don't use LoRa devices, there aren't a lot of LoRa devices and someone who only uses LoRa devices will stand out in any dataset.

How many cameras did you just go by? did you have your cell phone on you? how many networks did it connect too? how many bluetooth broadcasts did it passively send out? Not being tracked and being in public are slowly becoming an untenable duo.
it’s also incorrect. The barrier to entry tax is 15% of sales and a developers license. 30% is more of a barrier to scale after you take off.
Is that an Apple thing? People trying to monetize anything they make seem to vastly outnumber those of us who just want to make stuff for other people to enjoy. When I turn off an adblocker I'm shocked how many hobby projects spam ads at their users to try to make a few pennies.
It feels like a social issue.
Giving away free software on the appstore is gonna cost you $100/yr developer license. Sure, the more apps you make dilutes the cost, but it doesn’t seem like that inviting of a space for maintained free apps.
rss is dead. and aggregating won't be your main issue anyway.
If you don’t use rss, just say you don’t use rss. I assure you that many of us do. It continues to deliver me hundreds of articles from dozens of sources day after day, decade after decade. my services that check rss, continue to run their automated tasks. It’s an amazing protocol and even when big corpos try and take it away, hacks come up to restore access.
I'd love to see you build your own agent and then share it here in HN as a show HN.
has this agent fully built anything? that is a pretty straight forward question that you should be expected to answer when submitting something like this to HN.

Truth Social, X and Rumble are all backed by the very people who wrote the law, so will not be sued. Get Out Of Jail Free cards.
the thing about political power is it changes.

Is Advanced Voice mode any better than it was a month or 2 ago?
I had to stop using it because with the “upgrade” a few months back, it felt like its IQ was slashed in half. Constantly giving short and half baked lazy answers.
It's still not as good, and way less useful to me as it was before the advanced voice rollout. I recently found a setting to disable, but haven't tried it out yet to see if it fixed any of the many issues I have with advanced voice.

I had things like
* Do not use emotional reinforcement, not even robotic one (e.g., "Excellent," "Perfect," "Unfortunately", "Acknowledged").
* Do not use metaphors or hyperbole (e.g., "smoking gun," "major turning point").
in it. When they upgraded to GPT 5, Advanced Voice embedded into every answer things like:
---
Me: "I want to make a pizza tonight. What's the best way to start?"
It: "Sure, I'll stick to your guidelines and leave out the emotional reinforcements. If you want to make a pizza tonight, I'd first briefly explain how to go about it and why."
Me: "What should I drink with it?"
It: "To put it simply: Just drink whatever you like with it. Water, juice, or maybe a simple soft drink are classic options. It's really up to you, and I'll stick to your guidelines of saying it simply and without any frills. If you need anything else, just let me know.
Understood, I've noted that. I'll just stick to that and give you the information directly and without frills in the future. If you need anything else, just ask.
"---
Absolutely useless. The next day my subscription expired, and when I talked with it again, it behaved like it used to prior to GPT 5: good.
I'm now big into Claude.
Also, before you ask: The chat about the pizza was just to test if it would behave that same way in every conversation.
Recent additions I found BURIED in the settings.
