Hydron[1] has a search previous chats tool. It's built for embedded software but works well for general software engineering work too. Disclaimer: I am the lead dev for it. [1] htt…

The errata sheet and the datasheet are both ingested together and well in scope of Hydron,any work around to be done is verified by keeping both these docs in sight

Other files types supported include Word, Excel, CSV, Markdown, XML, Text and ZIP files. We can also index entire codebases and GitHub repositories as agent context.

That's a great question. Indexing time directly depends on the number of pages in the PDF, for a 5000 page PDF it roughly takes around 30 minutes to index.

Hi HN, this is Prashant from H2Loop. Embedded engineers that we work with were annoyed that generic AI tools hallucinated register addresses, generated code for peripherals that do…

Your comment led me to create this: https://github.com/prashantsengar/GitEcho

I built GitEcho after the recent GitHub outages led me to reading this HN comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46947085 . My goal was simple: make GitHub mirroring dead si…

Tangential: Here in India we have security guards with hand-held metal detectors in malls, railway stations, and urban transit rails (metro) stations. The first time I visited a di…

This is very useful! I frequently copy the response of one model and ask another to review it and I have seen really good results with that approach. Can you also include Cursor CL…

Why would the military keep a "compliant native" under house arrest though? Wouldn't it be better for them to get her killed?

Calling Nehru "installed" by Mountbatten misses the crucial context of the time. Nehru was the undisputed leader of the Indian National Congress, which had been the primary force b…

It's a reference to a short story "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Have_No_Mouth,_and_I_Must_Sc...

It is also a lot of work (and intuitive) to publish all the content on a website and then intentionally make it unpleasant to read just to encourage book sales.

The place I work at, we replaced our old NLP pipelines with LLMs because they are easier to maintain and reach the same level of accuracy with much less work. We are not running a …

Thanks for sharing this! I have been trying on and off to run RooCode on a VPS to use it on the go. I tried Code Server but it does not share "sessions". KASM seems interesting for…

Curious - how did moving from iTerm2 to Ghostty help? I currently use iTerm2 and have never used Claude Code

Any chance of this being open-source? I would like to build something like this for my country as well.

An open-source pluggable version of Omnivore (read-it-later app). The idea came since Omnivore decided to shut down. It is open source and self-hostable but the whole system has so…
