I was thinking about how to get LLMs to efficiently generate narrative content for unscripted NPCs and then I ended up building Open-Write. What started as a test to see where the system would break down on long-form content generation, just became a system for producing long-form content generation.

https://banksia.bio - I think private personal genome sequencing is an underserved market. I'm trying to start a "Mullvad VPN"-esque service where I as a provider do not need your personal information to perform the sequencing. Very much a WIP at the moment :) --- https://github.com/hill/lazyslurm - a terminal ui for SLURM jobs (like lazygit but for slurm!) --- https://github.com/hill/pg_tamagotchi - a tamagotchi tha…

Agreed that it's an underserved market (personal genome sequencing).

Do you own or have access to a sequencing platform / machine? Or do you just buy and prepare kits, and then send the prepared sample out for sequencing?

Hi HN, I am making progress working on Circuitscript, a language based on python to describe electronic schematics: https://circuitscript.net/ . A basic IDE (called the Bench) to try Circuitscript is available online: https://bench.circuitscript.net/ In the last month, I have added support for more ERC rules (pin type compatibility checks), added initial support for net classes and also cleaned up the language a litt…

Hey, I took a look at your project, I'm not someone who deals with schematics or KiCad but I'm still interested in these kind of things. I read the motivations in the docs and understood why would someone try to create a new language after looking at SKiDL, but still feels like it could've been simply a python library/package instead of having to do the work of creating a new language and having to deal with the language and interpreter/compiler. I'm sure a more object oriented approach would have made it a better experience to script schematics, specially with all the tooling Python has (such as `uv` to manage project, `ruff` to lint and format, etc). Regarding your language, just wondering why does led and supply need quotation marks but resistors and capacitors that some not only include numbers such as (10k) don't need to. It feels unnecessary to make that difference, specially for a script that tried to be simpler

I continue to work on https://github.com/PulkitBanta/connectio. A local proxy manager to connect servers and expose a single url outside.

I initially created this to work with the MCP servers as I needed OAuth to work locally and go through UI -> backend -> MCP client.

I add some features to this every now and then. Would like to have some other users for same :)

I broke my wrist a month ago which prompted me to follow through on thoughts I'd been having for about 6 months about switching to a split ergonomic keyboard (I landed on the Kinesis 360 Pro) and a different keyboard layout (Colemak-DH) to help with RSI I get while programming.

I've got a little bit of mobility back in my wrist now (enough to type on a standard layout keyboard), so I gave the new split keyboard a try, and the switch was less than smooth to say the least. I looked online for different resources to learn mainly just the Colemak layout, and while each had their strengths, they didn't all do what I wanted.

To that end, and because I don't have the time or wrist at the moment, I vibe coded a desktop program that merges aspects of MonkeyType, Keyzen-Colemak and Colemak Academy. Mainly to give myself a tool to learn with, but also to see how useful vibe coding something from scratch like this is. So far I've been impressed with how far it got on the first go. Only a few times have I needed to guide it to fix behaviors, but most of my time has been spent extending the program in ways that make it more useful to me.

Once I've got the ability to, I might consider giving a rewrite of this tool a go by my own hands. I haven't looked at the code it's produced, but I'm sure there will be aspects of it that I would prefer be done differently.
