HyprMusic··on Cal.com is going closed source
Bad actors can rewrite it with AI and claim ownership of the result.
HyprMusic··on Ask HN: Client took over development by vibe coding. What to do?
"Are there more people whose work on a project has been taken away by AI bots?"

Yes. I've had 2 clients do similar to what you described, so I have stopped working with them completely (one of them subsequently deleted their production database).

Another agreed for me to do an audit where I found severe vulnerabilities, including anyone having admin access, being able to set their own price during checkout, leaking PII etc.

Another is doing an AI in business course and wants to recreate their app using "N8N and ChatGBT". Thankfully, they have heeded my warnings - for now.

I've worked for some of these clients for over a decade, so I have a very low tolerance if they chose not to trust my professional opinion.

HyprMusic··on Claude Code gets native LSP support
https://air.dev/ provides more info, for anyone who's intrigued.
HyprMusic··on Beets: The music geek’s media organizer
Set whitelist to a file path and then add a file with each genre that you want to keep on a new line. You can use the top-level genres in this file to base it off (except the whitelist isn't YAML, just a genre per line): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/beetbox/beets/master/beets...

Be sure to enable canonical so it converts the specific genres into their parent genre.

HyprMusic··on Beets: The music geek’s media organizer
I've tried many times to find a nice UI for beets and somehow never come across this. It is exactly what I've been searching for all these years... Thanks for sharing!
HyprMusic··on Anthropic co-founder on cutting access to Windsurf
Exactly, it's like car manufacturers cutting off Android because Google own Waymo. The only people that pay are the consumers.
HyprMusic··on Anthropic co-founder on cutting access to Windsurf
This feels like a cheap trick to drive users towards Claude Code. It's likely no coincidence that this happened at the same time they announced subscription access to Claude Code.

The Windsurf team repeatedly stated that they're running at a loss so all this seems to have achieved is giving OpenAI an excuse to cut their 3rd party costs and drive more Windsurf users towards their own models.

HyprMusic··on Launch HN: Relace (YC W23) – Models for fast and reliable codegen
Looks great. Before I get too excited, do you plan to release a per-token paid API, or is your target audience bigger companies who negotiate proper contracts?
HyprMusic··on Show HN: Racketmeter – Measure Badminton String Tension Using Sound Frequency
Very useful. I just tried it with my spare racquet, and it seems about right. I have always wondered if my main racquet has lost tension, so it'll be really useful for that.

For making money, I'd suggest reaching out to professional re-stringers and asking if they want to advertise (once you have some nice analytics to brag about). Maybe even localise them based on geolocation data so you can have more re-stringers without cluttering it up. It's a value-add to your users so everyone should be happy.

You could probably even reach out to some YouTubers (I personally like BadmintonInsight). Since it's free, I would imagine some of them would do a video on it just to help their viewers.

HyprMusic··on Show HN: We Put Chromium on a Unikernel (OSS Apache 2.0)
I'm assuming the low latency cold starts are from a paused state, considering chrome itself takes a few seconds to boot? Or have you found some clever way to snapshot a running chrome and fork that?

Either way thanks for sharing.

HyprMusic··on Launch HN: Augento (YC W25) – Fine-tune your agents with reinforcement learning
This looks great.

I have a few questions. 1. I'm assuming by the pricing it's "serverless" inference, what's the cold-start time like? 2. Any idea on inference costs?

Also just to reiterate what others say but the option of exporting weights would definitely make it more appealing (although it sounds like that's in the roadmap).

HyprMusic··on First Orbital Rocket Launched from European Soil, Rocket Crashes, but It's Cool [video]
It's not that Europe has never developed the tech... the UK developed and launched an orbital rocket in the 60s/70s but it had to be shipped to Australia to be launched. I can't remember the specifics but I recall reading that Europe just isn't a geographically optimal place to launch rockets.

HyprMusic··on Meta debuts Friends tab, Mark Zuckerberg pushes 'throwback to OG Facebook'
Mostly random videos and memes that you never asked for. Updates from friends are legitimately difficult to find amongst the noise.
HyprMusic··on Show HN: Recommendarr – AI Driven Recommendations Based on Sonarr/Radarr Media
Does this mean it is limited to the model's internal memory? Meaning newer shows won't be in the recommendations because they're past the training cut-off?
HyprMusic··on Is Ketamine Neurotoxic?
Wow that hits hard.

Anyone that resonates with that letter, please speak to someone. If you're a male in the UK there's Andy's man club[0], which is just a group of normal guys who chat about life - including mental health. You'll hear first hand how close a lot of them came to tapping out but made it through and are glad they did. No matter how bleak it seems, there is a route to something that resembles happiness... you might just need a helping hand from others to get there.

HyprMusic··on You can’t build a moat with AI (redux)
The article heavily emphasises the point that having the "smartest" AI isn't a moat, it's the experience and integrations that build the moat. That's exactly why Cursor is more popular than Aider.
HyprMusic··on Belgium will ban sales of disposable e-cigarettes
There's plenty of evidence, like most, you've just not bothered to search for it before forming your opinion.

If you're genuinely interested, I recommend starting with this report: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/e-cigarettes-an-e...

HyprMusic··on GPT-5 is behind schedule
Your code becomes training data[0]:

HyprMusic··on GitHub Copilot is now available for free
I believe Jetbrains' built in models work like that but unfortunately they force you to disable any competing AI chat plugins so you lose out on access to Claude etc. if you use them.
HyprMusic··on Show HN: NCompass Technologies – yet another AI Inference API, but hear us out
Since you're calling out your support for underserved models, can I request you support some SOTA embeddings models? Support for embeddings is poor from other providers with only a handful of outdated models and poor latency.
HyprMusic··on Show HN: Hyperbrowser – Scalable Browser Infrastructure for AI Apps
Ah of course, makes total sense. Thanks for answering!
HyprMusic··on Show HN: Hyperbrowser – Scalable Browser Infrastructure for AI Apps
Shame I already rolled this out in-house (and spent way too long trying to achieve it) - this would have been perfect for my use case. If you don't mind me asking, how do you get chrome to boot so quickly? GCP is unbelievably good at launching containers quickly but chrome is slow to launch.
HyprMusic··on Serverless VPN Self-hosted
Serverless just means it spins up a server on demand so I doubt there will be additional latency beyond the initial connection phase. The advantage of this is that it lets you host your own VPN only when you need it, so you don't need to pay for a subscription. For serious VPN users, Mullvad and co would likely be the better choice.

As someone who only occasionally uses VPNs, this is great and I will be purchasing.

HyprMusic··on ChatGPT now on chat.com
OpenAI was the anonymous buyer: https://x.com/dharmesh/status/1854307883304792294

Copy & paste for those who can't visit Twitter:

> BREAKING NEWS: Secret acquirer of $15+ million domain chat .com revealed and it's exactly who you'd think.

> For those of you that have been following me for a while, you may recall that I announced earlier this year that I had acquired the domain chat .com for an "8 figure sum" (which was later reported as being $15.5M).

> I also shared that I had sold the domain to an undisclosed buyer.

> I was not at liberty to share who the acquirer was (I was going to leave that to them, when they were ready).

> Well, in a 8 character tweet (talk about brevity), Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI revealed that they were the buyer. If you visit the website now, it goes to ChatGPT.

HyprMusic··on Show HN: Aide, an open-source AI native IDE
It's not nearly as helpful as Claude.ai - it seems to only want to do the minimum required. On top of that it will quite regularly ignore what you've asked, give you back the exact code you gave it, or even generate syntactically invalid code.

It's amazing how much difference the prompt must make because using it is like going back to gpt3.5 yet it's the same model.

HyprMusic··on GitHub Cuts AI Deals with Google, Anthropic
I think they mean for the chat and code editing features.
HyprMusic··on OpenAI and Anthropic Revenue Breakdown
"Futuresearch estimates that their API business actually has ~50% gross margins, and that most of the losses come from operating costs (R&D, etc) and their ChatGPT business, which gives basically unlimited usage for ~$20/month."

I would have assumed there's more profit in the subscriptions than the API. $20 is roughly 2 million output tokens a month through the API. Given the 50% margin they claim, each user would have to be generating 3-4 million output tokens a month for OpenAI to be at a loss. Is that likely? Seems like a lot of words to me.

HyprMusic··on YC criticized for backing AI startup that simply cloned another AI startup
Except the original code isn't Apache open-source, it's MIT[0] and still requires copyright attribution.

HyprMusic··on YC criticized for backing AI startup that simply cloned another AI startup
They relicensed the code to their own license[0], which violates the original license, so you could argue they committed copyright infringement.

[0] https://github.com/trypear/pearai-app/blob/e921c7ae272168577...

EDIT: Looks like they have since changed the license to Apache 2.0 but it's still in violation of the original MIT license and does not contain the required copyright notice.
