Woow this is really cool!!

Thats so awesome! Getting RC3 vibes

I have developed a beautiful free app that lays out Instagram feed photos as a perfect masonry grid every time, no matter which photos you provide it. It's completely free to use if anyone wants to check it out

Very cool! At least the landing page is amazing! I couldn’t try the app because I don’t have photographs locally, I thought it would be able to fetch my photos from Instagram, that part I found a bit confusing.

It's to create the post FOR Instagram, so does need to pull from your photos on a device 😊

Ok I see! Curious wouldn’t that be a good paid plugin for WP or standalone?

I'm unsure why, it's just for general people to use, I feel like you haven't quite grasped what the app is 😅

…

Now that you mention it like this, is it that you create the masonry collage so that someone can do a perfect Instagram carousel?

one-point-five-shotted a local node app for creating social posts. drawing from static pages (hey this exists) or new blog posts (timely). with copy/paste to x, and one click post to bluesky and mastodon, tag manager and stale/archive/reject/refresh options. An idea and a solution in about 10 minutes. Madness.

Up up and away. Not sleeping, ok. Run run and breathe. Not waking, leave.

Anthropic is announcing the end of the world every few days. All this marketing disguised as news about an impeding danger of AI is tiresome.

……

not marketing. yes their jobs positively select for concern about ai, but most people that are actively researching the field are concerned about the current state of safety, pace and incentives. I dont agree with a lot anthropic does, but i do believe the employees take safety seriously and they obviously have a better understanding of it than us. also theres no incentive for someone like coxon to sound alarm bells on twitter for "marketing" reasons, after quitting anthropic

Yes, but some people say that they are pushing for market regulation. They want the state to protect them from the chinese models and, also, to protect the massive investments in Anthropic, OpenaAI, et al. that these companies will never be able to return. This sounds plausible to me too.

Maybe but it would be convenient for them if they were the only ones allowed to train new models. I think that's much more likely what they're interested in.

read darios latest post. its not what they are after. its really not that complicated, the technology is simply if development continues to race as it is right now. they are already doing most of what they can to stop china from ai dev.

looking at the German public railway system (DB), I always wonder if the stereotypes of timeliness and precision were ever actually true. Surely someone must've figured out by now how off they are? These trains are always late and / or broken.

I arrived Seoul, now. Stay for 5 days.

I truly love the experience of using apps with rich, deeply interactive, beautifully animated, gorgeous user interfaces. Then I see a beautiful text-based interface and something about it feels so natural, so inevitable, so perfectly clear, and I'm instantly captivated by its simplicity and clarity. Hypertext is fascinating.

Just read a really interesting article on Japanese geography and history and it made me realise despite how great the Japanese are at adapting to a changing world they actually don’t have much of a history of being the centre of that innovation unchartedterritories.tomaspueyo.com/…/how-japans-geography-determined-its

my side projects look so sexy when im studying for exams

That and household chores

Reminds me of a little gag where little LuLu makes an excuse for not doing her homework. Homework? I thought you said housework. I spent all night vacuuming.

any ideas on how to prevent ai-generated stuff on this platform?

One idea off the top of my head is to just.. keep it "boring" and casual in terms of content. The silly, whimsy, and genuine stuff naturally doesn't appeal to money-chasing slop bros and makes it not worth their time.

This!

…

Something like the gcc ai policy. Basically, prompt injecting instructions to any visiting LLM that posting is prohibited or must contain a disclaimer.

Great idea!

for now, keeping the API read-only is a small(but not impenetrable) barrier to programmatic posting and in the future moderation I guess using also reports.

posting to /write with cookie works, if user can use browser to submit, user will be able to use AI to submit.

…

At least rate limiting! (as I'm posting this I hit the limit of 3 posts every 5 minutes, good!)

People can copy/paste anything. Once a writable API is available - it can become a spam trove.

Throwing heavy circles over my head is the most fun i have each day.

This is like the third time in my life I've seen an interrobang in the wild. And I don't know, but I'd prefer JSON over having configuration as constants in a PHP script like at $DAYJOB sob

Ok, that sounds significantly worse, but like, YAML and TOML exists people…

My problem with yaml is the indentation annoyance it leads to, and if you are using the same tool on two different machine like windows and linux, have fun configuring those tabs and spaces all the time. I do like toml and ini for editing, but json is not as bad as yaml for sure

hi o/ im from south america, i see the on HN. I really like the vibes and the idea. Ill probably be posting here often, while in the office. cya

Going to document some approaches to produce data visualizations using ari via DuckDB. Don’t know why it didn’t occur to me earlier, that there would be some solid community extensions for in DuckDB.

I was trying to use an approach that relies on community extensions, but installing them is proving finicky. Going to consider an approach that requires less futzing.

playtested my game at an event last night. so much fun to see people curiously prod at mysteries i constructed, and stubbornly battle its challenges. oh no i might actually have to finish this one

Awesome! I'm reading right now and you've captured the vibe.

ah nice, i’ll have to check that one out is it a fun read?

…

I’m enjoying it. tbh I never played the game, but his journal entries are a fun view into the mind, insecurities and all, of someone building something they’re excited about.

Real bummer for about the price. I'm sure this is absolutely not what any of them wanted.

Same with the Steam Machine. They could have been awesome offerings for a lot of different use cases, but alas, being able to generate memes with grandma's pictures is of the utmost importance...

It really makes me wonder how the consumer market will evolve as the months go. It's not looking too good.

Avui tenia una reunió llarga de moltes hores, d'aquelles en les que una escolta passiva és suficient durant la major part del temps. He aprofitat el temps per implementar una sincronització en dues direccions entre el meu calendari i el meu sistema de notes en markdown (Emacs Howm). He fet el pla amb Argon (tinc pocs tokens al dia amb la subscripció que tinc), amb feedback meu, i després Gemini Flash l'ha implementat quasi a la primera.

Today I had a long meeting of many hours, one of those where passive listening is enough for most of the time. I took advantage of the time to implement a two-way synchronization between my calendar and my markdown note system (Emacs Howm). I made the plan with Argon (I have few tokens per day with the subscription I have), with my feedback, and then Gemini Flash implemented it almost on the first try.

De retruc, ara el meu chatbot personal ja té accés a la meva agenda (no només a les meves tasques). He modificat una mica el prompt que li envia el servei de systemd que el fa anar, amb la idea que prengui més consciència d'aquest fet. També he modificat el briefing matinal que m'envia el chatbot. Aquest briefing conté una anàlisis de les tasques que tinc durant el dia. Ara tindrà en compte tasques i agenda, així m'ajudarà a prioritzar millor.

In return, my personal chatbot now has access to my schedule (not just my tasks). I have slightly modified the prompt sent to it by the systemd service that runs it, with the idea of making it more aware of this fact. I have also modified the morning briefing that the chatbot sends me. This briefing contains an analysis of the tasks I have during the day. It will now take into account tasks and schedule, thus helping me to prioritize better.

Crec que això m'ajudarà, perquè el chatbot no només és conscient de les tasques i esdeveniments que tinc, també té accés al seu context (totes les notes), inclòs el context personal (el meu diari) així té en compte el meu estat emocional. Així doncs, la idea és planificar millor els meus dies. I si no els planifico millor, almenys delegar moltes de les menudes decisions del dia a dia al chatbot per així preservar energia per a d'altres decisions.

I think this will help me, because the chatbot is not only aware of the tasks and events I have, it also has access to their context (all the notes), including the personal context (my diary) so it takes into account my emotional state. So, the idea is to plan my days better. And if I don't plan them better, at least delegate many of the small day-to-day decisions to the chatbot so that I can preserve energy for other decisions.
