Bnjoroge··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2025)
Not sure if you are already familiar but I use Cal AI and think it does a pretty decent job. How granular do you track the macros? hard to figure out from a picture if I used some cheese or how much oil.
Bnjoroge··on Bocker: Docker implemented in around 100 lines of Bash (2015)
+1 on orbstack. near-perfect drop in
Bnjoroge··on Jepsen: Bufstream 0.1
has warpstream been reviewed?
Bnjoroge··on Show HN: Vortex – a high-performance columnar file format
how does this compare to lance?
Bnjoroge··on UK will give sovereignty of Chagos Islands to Mauritius
Took them long enough. Glad to see the UK relinquish ownership of these islands
Bnjoroge··on Canvas is a new way to write and code with ChatGPT
The problem is that tacking on to an existing product, while the ideal approach, limits just how creative you can get. I believe this is one of the reasons Cursor had to fork VSCode. Simply being an extension limited the features they could build.
Bnjoroge··on Who is Marcellus Williams: Execution in Missouri despite evidence of innocence
not the same thing at all lmao
Bnjoroge··on Uber drivers in Kenya are ignoring the app and charging their own rates
Eh not sure I agree. Lyft has no presence in Kenya and don't think anyone uses Faras. Bolt has had its fair share of issues that have made it a slinkily option as well. Uber's pretty much the only reasonable option which is why the drivers are revolting.
Bnjoroge··on Uber drivers in Kenya are ignoring the app and charging their own rates
gotta include the US in this as well lmao
Bnjoroge··on Uber drivers in Kenya are ignoring the app and charging their own rates
Visited CapeTown and Egypt. It's actually a lot cheaper in Kenya, especially for short rides.
Bnjoroge··on Notes on Distributed Systems for Young Bloods
yup
Bnjoroge··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
v cool to see more alternatives to cursor popping up
Bnjoroge··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
how does it compare with dagger?
Bnjoroge··on GitOpper: GitOps Without Kubernetes
It definitely correlates with Kubernetes pretty well. I read the title and already had a good sense of what the project is about and found the title accurate after reading more.
Bnjoroge··on Show HN: Haystack – an IDE for exploring and editing code on an infinite canvas
Congrats on the launch! Looks good! What's the plan for commercializing it? code visualization is one of those things that sound incredibly useful for developers but actually really hard to sell/get someone to actually buy it.
Bnjoroge··on Ask HN: Which programming podcasts do you listen to?
go time but really anything from changelog
Bnjoroge··on Apple unveils 'Passwords' manager app at WWDC 2024
really? what's the name?
Bnjoroge··on Verified Rust for low-level systems code
Hmm interesting. Do you think deterministic simulation is a much more accessible approach than verification? Also curious what tooling you think is still missing/not up to par?
Bnjoroge··on Online Cryptography Course (2017)
Didn't take the class, but always felt like his book was too theoretical. I enjoyed "real world cryptography" and supplemented it with Dan's book.
Bnjoroge··on GitHub Copilot Workspace: Technical Preview
just played with it. pretty solid! questions for me, how do you validate the new changes will work without any issues after applying them? the biggest issue I have with most code generators is the feedback loop from suggested code -> testing it out -> failing, doing it again. would be great if this was more seamless. additionally, would be helpful to control the code generation process in real-time.
Bnjoroge··on Show HN: Open-source SDK for creating custom code interpreters with any LLM
do you guys support other languages other than python or js/ts?
Bnjoroge··on Supabase Storage now supports the S3 protocol
you should look at lance(https://lancedb.github.io/lance/)
Bnjoroge··on A path out of bloat: A Linux built for VMs
folks at https://unikraft.io just released their (closed) beta. seems like there's still interest.
Bnjoroge··on What Extropic is building
meh, lmk when they actually ship something that's not bs
Bnjoroge··on Ask HN: How's the current state of hiring in the LLM field?
definitely shifting to more engineering-focused type of roles so at the very I'd work on swe/infra skills
Bnjoroge··on Zed, a collaborative code editor, is now open source
zed's great but they need to prioritise remote ssh like vscode. literally the main way most people do dev
Bnjoroge··on Launch HN: Openlayer (YC S21) – Testing and Evaluation for AI
big fan of openlayer since rdv!
Bnjoroge··on Brev: Start fine-tuning and training models in < 10 minutes
How do you source GPUs given the current GPU shortage? Parntership w Coreweave?
Bnjoroge··on macOS Containers v0.0.1
+1 on Orbstack! def been a huge difference from the desktop client, and supports K8s too
Bnjoroge··on Persimmon-8B
thanks for explaining pretty concisely w/out being rude :)
