See tuicr for a cool tui tool in this space
anymoonus··on Show HN: Whiteboard (YC W26) – An open-source IDE for thoughtful software design
If you make it hosted only, my guess is you will lose out on a number of users who cannot convince their corporate overlords to authorize yet another GitHub app. Charge the user and use their local gh access to make it work!

make it possible to link to and comment on github PRs - this would be a sweet reviewing tool
anymoonus··on Show HN: PDF Debugger – Inspect Structure of PDF Files
That's very cool!

1. Is the source available anywhere? I'm curious to see how it works.

2. Is there a way to connect the structure displayed here, to the rendered version in the PDF? To visually display the subcomponents?

anymoonus··on How to use Alpaca-LoRA to fine-tune a model like ChatGPT
I'm curious, what are the differences between T5, Flan-T5, and Flan-UL2 for fine-tuning? Does the instruction tuning matter at all, once you're fine-tuning?
anymoonus··on Show HN: Find words “halfway” between two others
I'm curious about the prompt you used, if you're willing to share (I'm interested in blend words, which this is somewhat related, but not quite - these are blended in a semantic sense, not textual)
anymoonus··on Show HN: Turning books into chatbots with GPT-3
Any references on how you do this, if you're willing to share?
anymoonus··on Show HN: Shmux – run all your scripts from one file
Recommend https://just.systems/man/en/ for a mature and more capable version of this.
anymoonus··on Atkinson Hyperlegible Font
Nice. Any chance you can post a screenshot?
anymoonus··on Google Colab Pro is switching to compute credits
Colab is awesome, thank you.

I'll take the opportunity to request better editing ergonomics: the ability to connect from Jupyter/notebook-supporting editors and IDEs; the ability to open/edit .ipynb files from the local disk and/or Github without having to first put them on Google Drive.

Colab/Jupyter and friends are reinventing many wheels around editing code, and it would be nicer for them to support tools like Jupytext.

anymoonus··on Scuba: Diving into Data at Facebook [pdf]
It would be really nice if I didn't have to fill out a form to see a demo-- having used Scuba I'd love to advocate for Interana at my current company, but it keeps getting pushed down my TODO list because of the extra friction
anymoonus··on Steve's Google Platform rant
I guess Yegge was a little too optimistic about the open-mindedness of the management at Google.
anymoonus··on Who Does Facebook Think You Are Searching For?
That would require the virus to successfully log in as you, and at that point does it matter?

"We have seen the video but have been unable to replicate the experience it shows," a Facebook representative told CNET in a statement. The company also once again detailed how its display-filtering technology, which surfaces news to user feeds, has built-in safeguards to keep potential spam out (emphasis mine): "Newsfeed is an automated system that is designed to deliver the most relevant content to you and your friends. The technology evaluates hundreds of factors, including your relationship to the poster, the type of content, the click-through rate (where appropriate), and people hiding similar posts from their feed. In real time, it decides what to display to you and what to filter for both Top News and Most Recent. It also includes systems that attempt to identify and block spam. Links have a history of the most abuse and are given the most scrutiny. As a result of all of these factors, a given link may be shown or filtered to people differently at different times."

anymoonus··on Reality Check: Google Plus Is No Facebook Or Twitter Killer
Saying that someone is 'doing it wrong' on a social network is doing it wrong. The average user isn't going to think deeply about this stuff.
