Very nice, the rendered demo for all the file types appear to render flawlessly and load instantly on page load, and looking in the DevTools the parsers are split into different Wa…

Cool! I like the speeding up feature. I suggest making the UI indicate that you can press the keys `z` and `x` on the keyboard to trigger the A and B buttons respectively, I figure…

Not an aviation expert or enthusiast, but I'd imagine in a commercial airliner if the gear was not deployed and the pilot was trying to land, at a certain point the plane would sta…

Yeah, pretty much all browsers on all OSes have print-to-PDF/save-to-PDF, I prefer saving an HTML file over saving a PDF file for 3 reasons: 1. SingleFile allows me to save a an HT…

For saving a webpage you have open, I use a browser extension called SingleFile, I've been using it for a while (IIRC I discovered it on HN's front page a few years ago), in my exp…

If you'd like to read a comprehensive blog post about the intricate mechanisms that make a mechanical watch work, with amazing interactive visualizations, I recommend reading this …

Looking at the code, it looks like they used existing Python packages to read and parse MS Office formats, not what I expected, seeing that the repo is in Microsoft's org on GitHub…

But the article mentions that they intend to have full compatibility: > Our goal is to build a reimplementation of SQLite from scratch, fully compatible at the language and file fo…

It was fun trying out the demo, with the "coffee kettle pouring" video it did really well segmenting the man's hand and arm and tracking it (segmenting them in every frame correctl…

Inspired by two comments in an HN thread for a similar tool that I saw ~3 months ago[1][2], I made a quick web page on Glitch (for a quick hosted page with a URL)[3] that has the f…

Wow, 8 MiB, that's impressively small IMO. I expected a program that embeds V8 (let alone also having windowing and Skia) to have a binary size much bigger. something closer to Nod…

Amazing project! > but also embeds v8 for a very small runtime instead of using Node. By how much does embedding just V8 instead of using Node.js decrease the binary size? Node.js …

I realize you asked sarcastically, but as of relatively recently WinGet is shipped by default with the latest versions of Windows 10 and in Windows 11. [1] But why is being install…

Yes! It's infuriating when Claude stops generating mid response and deletes the whole thread/conversation. Not only you lose what it has generated so far, which would've been at le…

Yea, In my opinion using Python's list comprehension is more readable and code checkable. Here's the usage example from the README: from leopards import Q l = [{"name":"John","age"…

Sure: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/11451#issuecomment-2... I edited my reply too. Edit: I'd caution against spamming the maintainers though (not caution you specifically…

FWIW, It appears one of the people who saw this post asked in a comment in an issue on GitHub [1]: > @seproDev unrelated, but what you think about https://news.ycombinator.com/item…

They implemented the censoring of "Claude" and "Anthropic" using the system prompt? Shouldn't they have used simple text replacement? they can buffer the streaming response on the …

Why do LLMs understand markdown really well? (besides the simple, terse and readable syntax of markdown) They say "LLMs are trained on the web", are the web pages converted from HT…

To add to what sibling commenters have said, you can also configure this extension to use a specific Neovim binary on your system, and you can also configure it to use/load the sam…

I can't find it in the settings for Google Search, has it been removed?

I've been seeing this specific type of sock puppet spam on YouTube for years, the same exact modus operandi, my earliest distinct memory of seeing this specific kind of sock puppet…

> Soon, developers will be able to withdraw the stars earned by their bots in Toncoins via Fragment. So it's backed by Telegram's own cryptocurrency, or at least soon gonna be. rea…

I guess the accuracy really depends on your location or ISP. I believe my ISP rarely or never rotates IP addresses, and on top of that I think my ISP provided router is assigned an…
