Doesn’t go far enough. Free and open to all, all the time.
Tradies shouldn’t need a credit card to read the rulebook. We’re making mandatory Australian Standards free to access, cutting costs for businesses and boosting productivity. ministers.treasury.gov.au/mi… #auspol
Wild that this was ever a thing.

ok, now do twitter.
Researchers built an AI that doxes any "anonymous" reddit account in under a minutes for $2.
eth zurich and anthropic published a terrifying paper proving that "practical anonymity" on the internet is officially dead.
they built a fully autonomous ai pipeline that takes your pseudonymous posts, extracts your identity signals, searches the web, and figures out exactly who you are. no human investigator needed.
the numbers are actually mindblowing..
- 67% of hacker news users identified correctly
- when the system makes a guess, it is right 90% of the time
- it even unmasked scientists whose interview transcripts were explicitly redacted for privacy
the scariest part? even time doesn't protect you.. they tested users who took a full year break and changed their interests. the ai still matched their old and new profiles with 90% precision. it sees through your persona changes like they aren't even there.
there is no defense against this. the agent splits the work into tiny, benign tasks like "summarizing a profile" or "ranking candidates." no api safety guardrail is going to flag it because no single step looks malicious..
every throwaway account. every "nobody will connect this to me" comment. it’s all just searchable micro-data now.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Paper shows LLM agents re-ID 67% of tested HN users (LinkedIn-linked then stripped) at 90% precision for $1-4 in minutes. Authors note these easier than typical pseudonymous accounts; lower for careful/Reddit users. Not "any" account.

Boomers (parents) really do their best to make tech hard.
My mum just sent me a meme from Threads (the ghost town Facebook Twitter clone) to WhatsApp.
I’m sure she’s the first person to ever do this combo.
Or roll your own for $60 ✨🧑🩰

Someone asked if I was ready for the fall and it took me a second to realize they meant autumn and not the total collapse of society.
At Officeworks this amount of memory would cost $~400. This was $100 flat for all 4, with warranty. Not bad given the #memorycrisis @centrecomau
You’re a gen-Alpha or gen Z if you’ve ever touched a screen that wasn’t touch screen, fully expecting it to respond.
I think now’s the right moment for someone like @modretro @PalmerLuckey to step into the iPod modding scene, original parts are drying up, used/faulty donor prices are sky high or not available.
Every component is now available by third-parties except the motherboard and LCD.
So instead of modding original motherboards, as cool as that it is…
Build a custom replacement motherboard with a OLED/Monochrome, inbuilt Bluetooth, USB C +PD, MicroSD or NvME support.
And make it compatible with the existing ecosystem of cases and click-wheels.
Forget the Apple Duo, Apple Watch 12
the best product is the AirPods 5.
- dropped the price for the ANC (Active noise cancellation) + improved it by 50% - added stem volume control (used to be AirPod Pro only)
Tip: get the wireless charging case, it has Find My tracking.
Australia never got Sora, the only way to access it was to have an OpenAI account & a VPN.
Aussies literally don’t even know what was taken from them.

fun thing I sometimes do is buy something off Facebook Marketplace, then either run or ride there:
a) it gets me to exercise under a time-constraint.
b) combines extrinsic & intrinsic motivation
c) I get a reward on arrival
d) usually knocks something off the to-do list
I bet @OpenAI are holding back on the MS Word plugin because even they can't figure out how to format a document or place an image.
