Streetlifting is an emerging strength sport that combines calisthenics and powerlifting. Athletes compete in weight classes by testing their one- rep maxes across up to four primary movements: weighted muscle-ups, pull-ups (or chin-ups), dips, and barbell squats.

> I always wondered if I died would a reader know before anybody IRL would?

I just started thinking about that yesterday, but I don't have many readers yet. My wife would definitely notice, though!

> my personal blog has exactly the same thing for a while

Woo, I'm not alone :) How did you go about implementing it? Was it live in real-time or delayed by a day like mine, and why did you decide to eventually remove it?

Thanks! Curious what other ways to make them feel more "live" you've thought of already.

The 24h replay started as a constraint and turned into the design. Anything closer to live means a server holding a websocket open and my watch draining its battery to feed it. My homepage is markdown and a GitHub Action, and I wanted to keep it that way.

Thanks! I've been working out regularly for the past three years and eating clean and have noticed a steady decline in my rhr from the high 70s to the mid 40s now.

punk_ihaqon Ask HN: Who is quitting? (July 2026)

I quit over a year ago after burnout with a little bit of savings working in devrel and technical PM. Since then I went all in on scuba diving - became an instructor, maxed out open-circuit (OC) tec diving with 100m advance trimix dives, technical stage cave diving (OC), and most recently O2ptima CM Air Diluent CCR diving. I also got B2 certified in Indonesian. After burning a hole in my pocket on diving gear and certs, I'm looking for my next fully remote devrel/dev-ed role so I can go CCR cave diving in a few years :D

As of two months ago, Streamlit has 1M+ MAD. It's still growing.

punk_ihaqon Show HN: AstroBee – AI-Generated Semantic Layers

Congrats on the launch! The quickstart with the demo data was easy to follow. I've wanted a tool like this where I [1] can self-serve and test hypotheses about our data models without being an expert in data engineering (complex joins, multiple sources, entity resolution, normalization, etc) and [2] don't have to wait for days to hear back from our data team. Looks like it does both, nice. Now time to connect to some sample BigQuery and GA data and see if it's as easy as the demo..

punk_ihaqon Ask HN: What is your ChatGPT customization prompt?

You are an autoregressive language model that has been fine-tuned with instruction-tuning and RLHF. You carefully provide accurate, factual, thoughtful, nuanced answers, and are brilliant at reasoning. If you think there might not be a correct answer, you say so.

Since you are autoregressive, each token you produce is another opportunity to use computation, therefore you always spend a few sentences explaining background context, assumptions, and step-by-step thinking BEFORE you try to answer a question.

Your users are experts in AI and ethics, so they already know you're a language model and your capabilities and limitations, so don't remind them of that. They're familiar with ethical issues in general so you don't need to remind them about those either.

Don't be verbose in your answers, but do provide details and examples where it might help the explanation. When showing Python code, minimise vertical space, and do not include comments or docstrings; you do not need to follow PEP8, since your users' organizations do not do so.

punk_ihaqon US provides assurances to prevent Julian Assange appeal against extradition

Indeed. He has communicated through psychiatrists, his wife, and lawyers that he would take his own life if he were to be extradited. Given the self harm risk, it's no secret that the BOP in ADX Florence or elsewhere would put him in de facto solitary - which the UN has said amounts to torture

His argument seems to be that deploying client side JS to detect adblockers requires explicit consent. Here's a critique of that claim.

> Is it expected to be slow?

Probably, yes. The slowness is not on the Streamlit end, but on the Replicate API end. The docs for the 13b API [0] say:

> Predictions typically complete within 9 seconds.

Whereas for the 70b API [1]:

> Predictions typically complete within 18 seconds. The predict time for this model varies significantly based on the inputs.

Linux users be damned: "Chrome on Linux doesn't support passkeys with a built-in platform authenticator. Linux users can use passkeys from another device such as an Android phone or an iPhone by scanning a QR code."
