I’ve worked on a few tools that need Canadian income tax brackets (federal and provincial) for calculations, projections, or estimators. This is not about sales tax or invoicing.

I was surprised there doesn’t seem to be a clean, structured, versioned source that’s easy to consume, especially once you factor in provincial differences and historical years.

When you need this kind of data, how do you usually handle it? Do you scrape the CRA site, hard-code values, rely on spreadsheets, or just avoid the problem entirely?

Genuinely curious if I’m missing an obvious solution.

Just a PSA in case anyone else is careful with their context but sometimes wants to paste some long reply in the text entry part. Claude code (latest version, Claude Code v2.1.34 running Opus 4.6) will freeze if you type a long input (the limit is around 1,400 characters or so, about one very long paragraph.) You can test it reliably by typing more than this amount and it will freeze every time, losing the conversation history until that point.

I historically have switched between Apple Notes and Obsidian.

I built mdnb as a hybrid of both— it's a fully native mac app that lets you edit markdown with the same interaction as Obsidian. I plan to keep it minimal & have no plans to add a plugin system like Obsidian. Instead will build a curated first class featureset into the editor, not unlike Zed editor.

It will always be free to use. Feedback is welcome!

I built this tool because I kept seeing random terminal windows flash on my screen for a split second. I could never open Task Manager fast enough to catch them or see what they were executing.

ShellScope is a local flight recorder for these transient processes. It monitors the creation of terminal instances (cmd, powershell, wt) and logs their activity to a local SQLite database.

The architecture consists of two parts: 1. A Python backend that uses WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) to hook into Win32_ProcessStartTrace events. This allows it to capture the process name, the parent process ID, and the full command line arguments before the process terminates. 2. A Flutter frontend that visualizes the logs in real time.

Current features in this MVP: Captures processes that live for less than 100ms. Logs full command line arguments to help identify hidden scripts. Highlights suspicious keywords (like "-enc" or "hidden"). Stores all data locally with no cloud dependency.

I am currently using WMI for the monitoring layer. I am aware this has some latency compared to a kernel driver, but it was easier to implement for an MVP.

I would appreciate feedback on the architecture, specifically on moving from WMI to ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) for better performance.

I'm a solo inventor in rural Pennsylvania. Over four days last week, I filed 10 provisional patents (70 claims, $650 total) describing a complete hardware specification for a standardized AI compute module for robots -- what I've been calling a "robot brain."

The spec defines three standardized sizes (drone to surgical robot), a universal connector system (the Manufacturer Interface Module, or MIM) so any brain works with any robot body, and a hardware safety architecture where a dedicated safety processor on its own power rail physically controls whether the AI processors receive electricity.

That last part is the point. Every AI safety system I've seen is software watching software. This design puts a hardware kill switch between the AI and the power supply. The AI can't prevent its own shutdown -- it's the same Safe Torque Off principle that industrial motor controllers have used for decades, applied to AI compute for the first time.

The formal spec name is the Standardized Autonomous Safety Module (SASM). Think ATX for robot brains -- standardized form factor, universal connector, safety built into the hardware.

I built all of this working alongside AI, using an open-source context management system I created that gives AI assistants persistent memory across sessions. The tool I built to solve AI's memory problem became the tool that let me design a robot brain. Several of the patents describe the context management system itself.

Happy to answer questions about the hardware spec, the safety architecture, or the experience of filing 10 patents in four days as a solo inventor.

At this point not only the front page of hacker news, but the new page of hacker news is totally inundated with blog posts about people complaining about or otherwise worried about about generative AI.

Are there any other general technical forums, where this is not the dominant narrative?

I say “generally technical” because places like less wrong and lobsters are not general in the same way as HN
