Echo4309on Codex on GPT6 Astra Low launched a rocket into space in Factorio Space Age 2.1

That’s pretty impressive. I wonder how they handled biter attacks and some of the real-time requirements.

I'm a huge fan of the Casio F-91W, have two of them on my desk right now. Maybe it's just me, but for this specific model I feel like it becoming bluetooth enabled breaks the spirit of the simplicity of the model.

But hey, seems like people are excited for that, happy for them! Mine will last another 10 years without it.

Echo4309on Launch HN: Prized (YC S26) – Let non-engineer staff build secure internal tools

Awesome launch and good pricing. We built an equivalent version in our org that takes HTML/JSX files and stores/serves them like an S3 bucket would. Works fabulous and we considered turning it into a SaaS product, met a real need in our org. Wishing you guys the very best of luck!!

Echo4309on What I learned selling 2,500 MIDI recorders: Hardware is not so hard

Good to see some hardware love! Congrats on hitting 2500 units. How’d you decide to make the first jump and actually build your first prototype?

Echo4309on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (July 2026)

This month has mostly been personal website. Serious warning - style is an HN ripoff atm, forgive me in advance. Will change in the future to something original or minimal.

Built a bunch of slime mold art: https://stefanludlow.com/art/foraging-network

Project I've got in progress is a migration of the old DIKU mud engine from C to Rust and making a Moog Model D synth recreation in rust with a JS wrapper.

Ditto... loved me those old DikuMUD variants. Cut my own teeth on Shadows of Isildur!
