byraon Show HN: Kitsunagu – A platform to find English-speaking professionals in Japan

Hey mc3301, thank you so much. We really appreciate you adding the clinic.

We're actively working on adding those so if you know any more clinics definitely add them.

If you want to add a bunch, feel free to just send us an email at contact@kitsunagu.com if that's easier.

Thanks also for the feedback on the bouncing cards. Have you tried making the screen narrower? It them becomes a carousel. Do you think that works better?

byraon Show HN: Learn Flags Quiz

This is so cool. We used to play a paper version of this game back home and this really brings back feelings.

Btw, really smooth. It works really well!

byraon Show HN: A public AI whose memory is shared across all users

I wonder if it would be possible to set this up with just a few team members and to work with different models.

Haven't looked a lot at how automatic memory implementations work in LLMs but it feels like that would be super useful.

byraon Firefox for iOS now has a native adblocker

Even as a lifelong Android user this kind of news makes me happy

byraon Why does Opus 5 feel worse to work with?

This article perfectly encapsulates my frustrations with a lot of the recent models.

I found sonnet 4.6 to strike a really nice balance when combined with superpowers between thinking logically and proactively while checking in with me for any major decision.

Gemini 3.1 pro or Muse Spark 1.2 or the new Claude 5 models just assume so much without making a quick check in, you often end up with a solution that completely missed the point.

That is to not even speak about the absurd amount of quota they take to do even simple tasks.

byraon Show HN: A website for exploring historical photographs of my city

Looks really cool.

Some kind of timeline view where you could scroll through years and have the map filtered to that year or date range would be super cool though.

Or even for photos tagged to pretty much the same location you could show newer and older photos of that area.

byraon Ask HN: Does a human still review your code?

Same as most others here, I think it depends so much on your use case.

The speed you're as able to move at with no to lightweight manual code reviews is just so much higher, but there are cases where broken code could mess up critical prod systems so I don't see how you'd get rid of human code reviews there just yet.

For personal usage I've found quick DeepSeek flash reviews a massive boon to finding obvious bugs though.

byraon Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin

Honestly whenever I need to use a browser without AdBlock at work I'm baffled that anybody can use this for regular day-to-day use.

It's borderline impossible to read some webpages.

Just one more reason to stay on FF I guess.

Especially since they launched extensions on mobile FF has been so much better than any of the alternatives I don't see myself going back anywhere else.
