Hussain04··on Show HN: Browser-Based F1 Game
Yes! It works with a joystick controller as well (and also on mobile)
Hussain04··on Tell HN: Gemini uses your email drafts (if you have "smart features" turned on)
First time seeing a Tell HN
Hussain04··on Ask HN: How to get your open-source project gain popularity?
Thanks for this. I am jumping too many steps. Good realization to read.
Hussain04··on Ask HN: How to get your open-source project gain popularity?
1. For my robotics tool, the response was really good. People enjoyed and even sent feedback and got a couple of issues opened on the repo too. I just think I need more reach for it.

2. Noted, thanks for the heads up!

You can quickly benchmark the model and compare it quickly by moving around/adding layers as you wish. But yeah your point makes sense too.

Makes sense. I too, know of many open-source projects in the same way. But when I compare with other open-source projects in the same niche which offer less features (as an example) getting more popularity. It just makes me think I am doing something wrong so that's why I asked.

Yeah not many. But the site that can only view ML model has over 30k GitHub stars.

0. Personal milestone really. Just want to see how much help I can be to others I guess. Hard to say.

1. One of my projects does almost the same stuff a proprietary software does so I am providing a free alternative. My other project is helpful in the sense that it does something no single-application does. Like there exists a site that can view ML models then there exists softwares that can edit and customize layers in a model. My tool does both in one. But yes you are right, maybe I am not selling my product in the right manner. Good idea to think about.

2. No :(. How can I go about creating one?

3. Fair enough

Thank you for these!

I got the most traction from the subreddit I posted it on. FYI I am measuring traction based on how many GitHub stars that repo got (which is a bad way to measure I know). But good idea, cheers!
Hussain04··on Aval: New open-source format for interactive video on the web
The fact that this solves the cross browser transparent video problem alone makes it interesting. Usually you are forced to serve WebM with alpha for Chrome/Firefox and HEVC with alpha for Safari but even then, trying to build hover states by hand-timing media seeks is a nightmare
Hussain04··on Estimating the heights of New Yorkers from their scuff marks
Nah that last image caught me off guard
Hussain04··on We taught our platform to learn its own pricing decisions
Awesome!
Hussain04··on We taught our platform to learn its own pricing decisions
How does the learner forget old data? If a model's price drops by 50%, or a new model is swapped into an existing rung, the historical weights learned from the old pricing/capability will actively harm routing decisions. Is there a decay factor on the weights or something else?
Hussain04··on 'I'm not a programmer' anymore: Linus Torvalds on the only two tools he uses now
"...works at a higher level. I work with people, not tools."

Basically overlooks everything moreso which makes sense given his experience

Hussain04··on I made a free PDF Editor that runs in a browser
How does this compare against ilovepdf.com? Why should anyone use this over that
Hussain04··on How the Chinese use wires to catch rocket boosters
An elegant solution which saves a lot of money (talk about China :D)
Hussain04··on Hello
Hi?
Hussain04··on Why Rodents Can't Throw Up, in Case You Were Wondering
Damn didn't know horses can't either
Hussain04··on Open source retro futuristic pi camera
That's so awesome
Hussain04··on Show HN: AI-related Jax module (I hate if)
Good to hear!
Hussain04··on Show HN: AI-related Jax module (I hate if)
For optimizers.py, are you relying purely on boolean arithmetic for these masks, or did you find a more elegant mathematical workaround to avoid the branching overhead entirely?
