I'm working on vision3d ( https://github.com/yeetypete/vision3d ) a 3D extension to torchvision. vision3d aims to elegantly extend the well-established torchvision API to 3D object detection tasks. My colleagues and I were not happy with the state of 3D object detection frameworks. Things like mmdetection3d, OpenPCDet, etc. try to do way too much than what's needed for a good 3D ML library. They even came up with the…

#902I'm working on a real-life social app called Holler ( https://justhollerapp.com ). I'm an introvert and socially anxious, but I do enjoy hanging out with my friends. I just HATE the invitation-and-coordination game. If someone invites me and I don't want to go, I hate having to come up with a socially acceptable excuse. Inviting someone and waiting for them to make a socially acceptable excuse is equally awful to me.…
Now a days I just have a few group chats where I can drop this kind of announcement in and see if there are any takers.

What's interesting (and kind of sad) here is that while AI drastically increased product count, more than 50% are now composed of dev tools and AI Some kind of golden shovels situation. I wish there were more games, personal apps, and open hardware – more fun stuff that became affordable due to AI

#906It's still pretty early, possibly buggy, and almost certain to get breaking changes without warning.
My original thought was to combine Lisp syntax and structural macros with C semantics and see how much extra abstraction that would provide, but variants of that idea have been tried before. They may have been compelling at a certain point in time, but I think a new systems programming language in 2026 should offer more, so it does.
Some features include: strong typing, protocols (similar to Clojure or Rust traits), non-nullable references, error values, bound error handlers (a bit like Common Lisp), optional lexical lifetimes, namespaces, and no mandatory runtime overhead relative to C.
It's self-hosted, which I've noticed several new systems programming languages announced recently are not.

#907I had claude faithfully rewrite SimTower so I could play it in the browser: https://kvetch.io/conciliatower I wanted to re-play SimTower but found it too difficult to get running through emulation. Instead, I worked for 6 months with Claude Code on a complete rewrite, replicating all the functionality from a Ghidra decompilation of the binary, an AI-generated summary of the original source code and my memory of the g…

#908The idea is that developers and scientists can meet each other in the terminal in a funny way at 3 am while working.
There is a place in the moon where you can "scream" against your last LLM session and everybody can see your scream from the space.
You can create your avatar, share your github if u want too.
It is full of continents (the "physics" continent, the "computer science" one, etc.) and in each continent there are cyberpunk cities. You can create corners and expand the city, and enter. A 3D supercyberpunk animation brings you in the corner and you can chat with people who enters in the corner (corner=chatrooms). Also voice chat works if u active it. In your terminal.
In the moon there is a place where you can see the stars and everything happening on the virtual pixelated sky, water a plant (if nobody put water it dies), with a soft low quality chill music. If someone is in a room with you, you can see him and you can chat, even vocal chat exists.
It is perfect to let it open in the second monitor while working so that you can watch the stars while dying of tasks to do, and sometimes have some conversation with someone who is in your same situation.
It works in Linux,MacOs and windows:) _____

#910I am working on a Django-based JS-free forum[1] that I can self-host. Still need to work on some essential things, but the basic forum functionality is already there. [1]: https://codeberg.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/xiaolong-forum
Haha, along the same lines [1] [2] but trying to target and stay inside Cloudflare's free plan (workers, D1, R2 etc.) for hosting small simple forums of a couple hundred users. Along with AI-powered moderation. JS-ful in some parts - but mostly Rust cloudflare workers WASM. It can self-host as well in a single binary + sqlite. MIT. Trying to figure out a good defense to the bot-infestation problem next. [1]: Test sit…
