The technology argument is the most convincing one to me. I worked with a Japanese client a few years ago and the internal tools they used were wild by western standards. Like full…

Been running a handful of dedicated boxes on Hetzner for about 5 years now. Even with the increase, the price/performance ratio is still way better than anything comparable from th…

The insight that a blank status area means "the house is healthy" is the best part of this whole project imo. Most smart home dashboards try to show you everything all the time and…

The byte-for-byte identical output requirement is the smartest part of this whole thing. You basically get to run the old and new pipelines side by side and diff them, which means …

Banning "length" from the codebase and splitting the concept into count vs size is one of those things that sounds pedantic until you've spent an hour debugging an off-by-one in se…

The part where they blame users for not changing the default password is infuriating but unfortunately very common. I've seen this exact same attitude from companies that issue cre…

One practical thing I appreciated about MessageFormat is how it eliminates a bunch of conditional UI logic. I used to write switch/if blocks for: • 0 rows → “No results” • 1 row → …

I tried building an RSS library feature for a side project ( https://beavergrow.com ), mostly as a way to curate feeds I actually enjoy reading. It quickly highlighted how fragile …

Hi HN, I built https://poker.beavergrow.com to solve the problem of playing poker with friends when you have a deck of cards but no physical chips. I wanted something that felt as …

I had some success with side projects a while back, but I haven’t been able to spend much time on them lately. The anxiety is still there, especially with the current layoffs and t…

Totally agree with you I have had the same experience. Most of the bookmarks I saved over the years, I never went back to. These days I usually just copy content, run a quick summa…

Really neat work! I’ve been experimenting with something similar running a local Whisper model for quick transcriptions, then organizing the notes in a tabbed interface so I can ke…

Looks futuristic! I really like the modular “building blocks” idea. I’m working on something similar in a different space with BeaverGrow, a productivity tool where you can drag an…

This brings back so many memories I still remember having a cd with the serial key written right on it. Even now, that key is stuck in my mind qqwd7-8gr47-x9rcp-jjwh7-qpgqq

The incremental improvement reminds me of iPhone releases still impressive, but feels like we’re in the ‘refinement era’ of LLMs until another real breakthrough.

i made https://storyforu.com which generates stories for children, based on topics you select with vibrant graphics and an interactive and quiz mode. it was fun to build it.

at this point, can i purchase the subscription directly from the model provider or hugging face and use it? or is this ollama attempt to become a provider like them.

This looks incredibly promising not just for AI research but for practical use cases in game development. Being able to generate dynamic, navigable 3D environments from text prompt…

lot of ai progress today, open ai, claude and now eleven labs

i wish these models had a minimum ram , cpu and gpu size listed on the site instead of high end and medium end pc.

Using a robots.txt file to block crawlers is just a request, it’s not enforced. Even if some follow it, others can ignore it or get around it using fake user agents or proxies. It’…
