I’m a big fan of this notion. My hot water dispenser has a magnetic power dongle kinda like macbooks MagSafe, but bulkier [0]. Ideally something like that would be more standardized across appliances the way some of the other three prong power cords are.

Right! [0] Apparently there are not many standard connectors like these, but I found at least one [1] ...

I loved having one of these until the non-stick coating inside started flaking off badly after a couple years.

Nowadays I'm only touching steel and/or glass on these things. An all-steel-interior Zwilling kettle has lasted me twice as long already, and looks brand new (on the inside) if I give it a brief acid cleanse to remove deposits. It's not quite as convenient or as stable temperature, but I'm more than happy to have something that lasts many times longer.


Two-layer, thermopot-style kettles are a thing; I own one. All-steel interior is a natural consequence.

What brand? I couldn't find any last time I looked, and I do generally prefer the dispenser style (slower to hit a temp, but rock solid once there, and basically always ready to go. surprisingly useful / habit-altering).

Elecom makes USB cables with "MagSafe" style connectors.

Ah, Zojirushi, great rice cookers .

Just use litellm or any-llm if you want to convert to OpenAI format. They did used to have bespoke per model interfaces that were way worse


Yeah trainium and inferentia. They’re just not nearly as well supported on the software level. Google has already made sure this new generation will be supported by vllm, sglang, etc. Amazons chips barely support those and only multiple versions back. Super under invested in (at least on the open source side)


That's seems odd. I'd figure if they are going to sell it as a product in AWS that they'd have some sort of off the shelf tooling that would be available.


Yeah the spy network is just all these people living in a 7 mile radius of each other (San Francisco) and have lots of overlap in social circles


Yeah, I’ve been beta testing the Streamyfin tvOS app. it’s now about on par with the official tvOS client, but feels like it’s making more progress regularly


There definitely is a cap. I believe once you make more than $176k you stop being taxed for that


Yep the cap was $176,100 for 2025


Someone needs to make a market on whether or not this is profitable


What happens when the bot places a huge bet on "No" in this market?


I wanna do this but with a locally running LLM. They’re getting better and better. Can’t wait for something like Taalas to ship custom LLM hardware for personal use


Ok maybe I’m too young, but what is BeOS? Everyone here is linking other alternatives, but no one’s linked to the original BeOS. Or is it gone now?


I don't understand this type of helplessness when you're already competent enough to use HN...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeOS


"Why did you ask this when you can google it?"

Because sometimes I learn unexpected things and get another perspective even when I could search for it myself.


what perspective could there possibly be on "what was BeOS?" Like, it was an operating system.


stick around...


> Ok maybe I’m too young, but what is BeOS?

Does this help?

Yeah it’s gonna make the bar for good enough here super easy to meet and people will have less reasons to look around outside
