    “docker run open-webui:ollama” is a simple way to start. Don’t expect much for coding. But it’s great for general knowledge, rubber ducking, image classification…

    Nice! I’ll check it out. Congrats on the soft launch!

    I’m curious about the decision to “aim for sub second transaction times”, rather than using something cryptography-based, such as a verifiable oblivious pseudorandom function. That…

    This sounds awesome! I’d love to playtest it when you’re ready.

    Easy come, easy go. I find most vibe coded projects are abandonware. Also, in this context, security.

    A few weeks ago I noticed some mysterious app was killing my (poor) internet downloading a large file. It was chrome, downloading a multi GB file without any sort of UI hints that …

    I made something similar to scratch my own itch. What I really wanted was to plan meals for the week with as little thinking as possible. The result is a very interruptible grocery…

    If I understand the original theory, we can work out the math with a little more detail... (For clarity, the berlin wall was erected in 1961.) - In 1969 (8 years after the wall was…

    I really like the approach of nostr, but when I tried to use it, each client I tried would start me off following ecoin pump and dump influencers. It was really off putting. I woul…

    Easier to roll out this way would be my guess? With your approach, the burden is on the post office to update their handling process. With the implemented approach, nothing changes…

    I’m basing my reasoning on the assumption that advertisers (such as google, meta, tictoc) are aware of your location at all times . (See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42909…

    Location location location. - User 1 shows an interest in . - User 1 visits the same location, for the same period of time, as user 2. - So I show an ad for to user 2.

    My first thought was the exact opposite. Ambient noise in classroom (from other students) can be very distracting, and I wonder if adding white noise helps kids to focus (in the sa…

    Yea this one confused me. DKIM and DMARC are about preventing impersonation. Haha. Nothing to do with unsolicited email.

    I learned a similar mantra that I keep returning to: “there’s never just one problem.” - How did this bug make it to production? Where’s the missing unit test? Code review? - Could…
