I’ve been working on a desktop utility called Ripper, a Python + CustomTkinter app that downloads video and audio from supported sites (starting with YouTube). The app itself has been a bit rough to build and maintain — but distributing it has been the annoying part. GitHub won’t host my repository, let alone the EXE, due to there size and I don’t want to rely on sketchy file hosts or temporary mirrors. So I finally figured out a temporary setup that’s stable and easy for users to follow. This post explains the distribution workflow and why I’m using it. Why I’m Using this Approach The EXE and source code are too large to push to GitHub, even when the ffmpeg EXE is zipped, and one of my main goals is that I don't want the user to have to hassle with getting ffmpeg. So, I set up a public Google Drive folder where users can get the zipped EXE file and use the app right away. But I want to emphasize that there’s nothing malicious. Google Drive Hosts the EXE Google Drive ended up being the simplest reliable host. It gives me: A clean public link No ads No expiration No weird redirects Instant updates when I replace the file Here’s the current download link: Download Ripper (Google Drive) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w6rMgCAcSEteAssXIGJmYHrtyPHY99tC/view This is the only official download source. GitHub Pages Hosts Everything Else Since GitHub Pages can host static content, I built a simple project page that contains: https://codebunny20.github.io/ The official download link Feature list Tech stack Build instructions Planned features Version notes Development updates This page is now the “home base” for Ripper. Any time I push a new version, I update the Google Drive file and update the GitHub Pages site with the new version info. It keeps everything centralized without relying on GitHub Releases. Why This Setup Works Better It’s not fancy — but it’s reliable. I can update the EXE instantly I can update the GitHub Pages site just as fast Users always have one clean,
Claire McDonough is stepping down on October 30 to pursue a new opportunity, the company said in a filing on Thursday.
What a penny from a stranger taught us about how agents actually find things. At 02:59:06 UTC on August 25, a wallet we had never seen paid our verification service one cent over x402. Four and a third seconds later, Coinbase's service catalog refreshed our listing. Nothing else we had ever done moved that listing. Deploys did not move it. Metadata edits did not move it. Validation runs did not move it. Money moved it, in under five seconds, every time. The transaction is public: 0x5e9bd3c9c61d7556b1ffb1a5b936591efccd765af94a81da435432e1f62ff52a on Base. This article is the story of what that penny bought us, which was not revenue. It was a map. Where we were standing ScrapeCheck is an independent verification service for web data. You send a URL and the value you believe is on that page. We re-fetch the page from our own infrastructure and return a signed pass, fail, or unverifiable. Never a guess. Every verdict is ed25519 signed and verifies offline against our published key, so whoever holds it can check it without trusting us. We listed on the x402 Bazaar, Coinbase's machine-readable catalog of paid services, on August 14. The catalog held a little over fifteen thousand rows. Listing is permissionless. Then we noticed something about discovery: the catalog's own API defaults to a curated view. A client that browses the normal way is shown roughly 110 hand-picked rows out of fifteen thousand. The two largest curated providers hold about 44 percent of that shelf between them. Everyone else, us included, is in the warehouse but not in the front window. So we did what we do to web pages: we instrumented our own listing and started reading it back, on a schedule, with timestamps. What moves a row The catalog publishes freshness fields on every row. We recorded ours across every kind of event we could produce. The pattern was absolute. Our row was created one second after our registration payment settled. It was crawled five seconds after a later settlement. It refres
As Tesla gears up for the official launch of its steering wheel and pedal-less Cybercabs, Waymo is issuing a stark warning about Elon Musk's approach autonomous driving.

Chad Schuster discusses bridging Python's developer velocity with C-like performance using Numba JIT and GPUs. Drawing from large-scale actuarial modeling, he explains LLVM pipeline architecture, performance gains up to 750x, and essential trade-offs like OOP limits, type inference errors, and compile-time overhead for engineering leaders scaling compute-heavy enterprise systems.

The current EV market is flush with variety. I've driven single-motor economy-minded machines, dual-motor EVs with all-wheel drive, tri-motor vehicles that dial up the performance stakes, and even wild quad-motor performance cars, like the Rimac Nevera. But this is the first time I've ever driven a five-motor EV, one with the agility and speed to […]
