adenta··on Codex Blocks Fast Mode with an API Key on Desktop
Imagine other people might like to know: if you use an API key to access OpenAI models in the Codex Desktop application, you can't access the faster inference.

I patched my codex application with this code, I would hope such a change could be upstreamed: https://github.com/adenta/codex-fast-mode-patcher

adenta··on Show HN: Palmier Pro – Open-source macOS video editor built for AI
Love to see it. We have been experimenting with https://github.com/ronak-create/FableCut, how is this similar? How is it different?
adenta··on Lobste.rs is now running on SQLite
Where are you hosting postgres
adenta··on $100 AI Music Video: Claude Fable 5 vs. GPT-5.6 Sol
What's embarrassing?
adenta··on 90210 – running the show without property tax
I finally took the thirty seconds to find that famous video of the moon getting hit with a bullet, lmk if you are entertained to watch all the way through https://youtu.be/ZNAHcMMOHE8?si=GndI2PShs_vtGUT8

Now compare that to the first 20 minutes of this AI movie: https://youtu.be/digHr6k38x0?si=s2rzWD346R9qGkLs

adenta··on 90210 – running the show without property tax
We are still a bit of a ways away from being able to compile a script into a show. Also Veo 3.1 is old AF, it can't even do audio references! the cool kids are currently focused on Seedance 2.

This is the most recent thing I put together (sry it's on LinkedIn, haven't posted the series elsewhere yet)

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/adenta_episode-1-of-midwest-d...

I'm also unsure if screenplay to video is the desired... workflow we will eventually want.

I am biased, but am a bit kinder to AI video slop than most. Like I bet the first ever movies were pretty shit too. Give it a couple years while we figure out this new technology, and it's currently as bad as it ever will be, it can only get better.

adenta··on Gemini Omni
yeah, it's all about keeping everything grounded in reality.
adenta··on Gemini Omni
At first usage I'm not impressed. I've probably spent a couple grand on Seedance 2 to date, and I can't find anything google omni flash does better than Seedance from running a handful of samples through the system. You can find some of the videos I've made in my HN bio link.
adenta··on SANA-WM, a 2.6B open-source world model for 1-minute 720p video
what subreddits do _you_ subscribe to?

I've been doing some content with people at https://industrialallusions.com

adenta··on Traceway: MIT-licensed observability stack you can self-host in ~90s
I'm partial to open observe, especially because in Ruby the OTEL stuff isn't great for metrics and logs yet.
adenta··on AI uses less water than the public thinks
source?
adenta··on Google API keys weren't secrets, but then Gemini changed the rules
Stuff like this was proposed to be added to standard interviews, but they were too busy reversing binary trees
adenta··on Apple Container 0.9.0
Has anyone used this for shipping native apps? I know that's not what it was designed for but I would love to be able to ship a Tauri + rails app some day
adenta··on Ask HN: How can we solve the loneliness epidemic?
Trading Cards!

IMO the biggest barrier to entry to the hobby is the price, coupled with the existing communities being really old. I'm trying to get people to print their own cards for casual kitchen table play through https://cardstocktcg.com.

adenta··on Clicks Communicator
I've been rocking a Razr 2025 Ultra and just try to do everything on the front screen. Its not the best experience, just pre-ordered this, excited to try it!
adenta··on Clicks Communicator
why not?
adenta··on Go ahead, self-host Postgres
I wish this article would have went more in-depth on how they're setting up backups. The great thing about sequel light is lightstream makes backup and restore something you don't really have to think about
adenta··on The only GM EV1 ever publicly sold
Do we all have that one friend who also secretly has an EV1, or is that just me?
adenta··on Android and iPhone users can now share files, starting with the Pixel 10
Now we just need universal clipboard between Android and OSX
adenta··on KDE Connect: Enabling communication between all your devices
I've had trouble getting KDE connect to work as a shared clipboard between Android and my Mac. Has anyone ever done that successfully? I couldn't find any documentation to indicate people have which is a real bummer.
adenta··on Intelligent Search in Rails with Typesense
I love Jason Bosco (the typesense guy). I love Ruby on Rails. But I've been using Meilisearch more and more over the past year on client projects. They maintain a top of the line Rails integration: https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch-rails
adenta··on A 3D-Printed Business Card Embosser
I wish it was easy for a CAD n00b to create templates for this. Like I want my business card to be the emboss
adenta··on ChatGPT Developer Mode: Full MCP client access
> Eligibility: Available in beta to Pro and Plus accounts on the web.

I use the desktop app. It causes excessive battery drain, but I like having it as a shortcut. Do most people use the web app?

adenta··on I replaced Animal Crossing's dialogue with a live LLM by hacking GameCube memory
Doesn’t the GameCube already have a network interface? Like something called phantasy star online used it for internet, and you can connect multiple GameCubes for 16 player Mario kart I believe.
adenta··on A World Without Plugins
Curious, what prompted the republish Swyx?
adenta··on Show HN: Open-sourcing our text-to-CAD app
Yeah, the idea sounds magic, but there’s a lot of weird things going on in this application

I feel like a standalone script would be much more helpful

adenta··on The AI Job Title Decoder Ring
Should’ve included “Member of Technical Staff”
adenta··on All-In on Omarchy at 37signals
The timing on this sucks. I would love to see what DHH would do with the new https://github.com/apple/container thing coming in OSX26
adenta··on Show HN: Open-source macOS dictation replacement, 5Mb
I use superwhisper (but maybe should use this!). I use karabiner elements to map the microphone button (f5) on my mac to be f20. I than tell superwhisper it's shortcut key is f20, works super well!
adenta··on Qwen3-Coder: Agentic coding in the world
I was only getting like 200 tk/s with groq on K2, was expecting it to be faster tbh.

I think the bottleneck is file read/write tooling right now
