chwzr··on Show HN: My startup-idea scanner scored 500 ideas; the best got 6.3/10
m first run got 7.83
chwzr··on Nanocodex: Building blocks for frontier OpenAI agents in Rust
> end-to-end evals keep the harness honest sorry, but the README shouts: i am slop. no matter how good the code is. what is a honest harness? i would prefer at least a readme written by hand, im okay with ai generated code, but the readme is for humans not agents
chwzr··on Show HN: OpenKnowledge – open source AI-first alternative to Obsidian/Notion
so if I understand you correctly crdt is not used to collaborate in realtime with other human beings? instead we need to sync via git?
chwzr··on Show HN: Gitdot – a better GitHub. Open-source, anti-AI, and written in Rust
the design looks neat. + for hexagonal pattern on the backend - that fits perfectly!
chwzr··on Zed 1.0
I would really love to see an iOS remote control app for zed. I am using it on throw away microvms via ssh. Would love to have the zed server running there, control agents via phone and occasionally use my Mac to connect to the server and use the desktop app as normal for review and hand coding
chwzr··on Show HN: Smol machines – subsecond coldstart, portable virtual machines
I see the alpine and python:3.12-alpine images in your cli docs. Where does these come from?is it from a docker like registry or are these built in? Can I create my own images? Or this this purely done with the smolfile? Is there a Ubuntu image available?

Looks really nice btw. Hot resize mem/cpu would be nice. This could become a nice tech for a one-backend-per-customer infra orchestrator then.

chwzr··on Launch HN: Freestyle – Sandboxes for Coding Agents
Wonder what you are thinking of then?
chwzr··on Google's 200M-parameter time-series foundation model with 16k context
there is TabPFN [1] which also has time series capabilities.

chwzr··on Show HN: Sonar – A tiny CLI to see and kill whatever's running on localhost
i have this in my .zshrc which provides same functionality:

  lk() {
    if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
        local output=$(sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -n -P)
    elif [ $# -eq 1 ]; then
        local output=$(sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -n -P | grep -i --color=always $1)
    else
        echo "find and kill processes listening on ports. Usage: lk [pattern]"
        return 1
    fi

    if [ -z "$output" ]; then
        echo "No listening processes found."
        return 0
    fi

    # Show header + results
    echo "$(sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -n -P | head -1)"
    echo "$output"
    echo ""

    # Extract unique PIDs (skip the header row if no grep was applied)
    local pids=($(echo "$output" | awk '{print $2}' | grep -E '^[0-9]+$' | sort -u))

    if [ ${#pids[@]} -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "No PIDs found."
        return 0
    fi

    echo "PIDs to kill: ${pids[*]}"
    echo -n "Kill these ${#pids[@]} process(es)? [y/N] "
    read -r confirm

    if [[ "$confirm" =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]; then
        for pid in "${pids[@]}"; do
            echo "Killing PID $pid..."
            sudo kill -9 $pid
        done
        echo "Done."
    else
        echo "Aborted."
    fi
  }
chwzr··on Linux boxes via SSH: suspended when disconected
Do you do something similar to the modifications codesandbox has done to firecracker, regarding mmap ram? (They have multiple blogposts about it on their blog)

Would love to chat about details there

chwzr··on Show HN: Python SDK – forecasting with foundation time-series and tabular models
How does it compare to tabpfn?
chwzr··on Show HN: Hurry – Fast Rust build caching
Is this compatible with the dx dioxus cli? Would love to have a cache layer for it
chwzr··on JSON Schema Demystified: Dialects, Vocabularies and Metaschemas
Sounds interesting, do you have any links to these projects? Could not find multicardz when searching
chwzr··on Strudel REPL – a music live coding environment living in the browser
Oh and there is flok[1] which combines the strudel repl with visuals from hydra. Also there are sclang and other algorave environments available. Everything is synced (with crdts i guess) so it’s live collaborative. Which is nice to remotely jam with friends

chwzr··on Show HN: Bottlefire – Build single-executable microVMs from Docker images
How is the performance of the mounted host directories? It’s some file server over vsock?
chwzr··on Show HN: Bottlefire – Build single-executable microVMs from Docker images
Would love to have the ability to spin up firecracker micro vms in proxmox as an alternative to qemu
chwzr··on Launch HN: Bitrig (YC S25) – Build Swift apps on your iPhone
Tried to create a canvas like app view, your app froze after some prompts (guess the swift interpreter?) reopening the app and selecting the project again does not help
chwzr··on Show HN: Torii – a framework agnostic authentication library for Rust
Is it possible to develop custom oauth/openid plugins?
chwzr··on One-man SaaS, 9 Years In
Would love to hear more of that azure marketplace. Does it bring leads on its own?
chwzr··on Claude 3.5 Sonnet
I currently tested the cursor IDE [1]. It’s vscode with nice ai integrations made with great ux in mind. They integrate with ChatGPT and Claude Sonnet/ Opus. For my experience (rust/typescript) the sonnet 3.5 model is giving me better results.

You can pass the current file, or multiple files or your whole project as context to the models.

chwzr··on Ask HN: What macOS apps/programs do you use daily and recommend?
- Brightintosh (use the increased brightness (1000 nits) of the integrated XDR display)

- raycast (window management, shortcuts, etc.)

- tailscale (private mesh vpn)

- linear (issue management)

chwzr··on Vercel Edge Function Outage
same here, wondering what's going one. Do they release post mortems?
chwzr··on Ask HN: Suggestions to host 10TB data with a monthly +100TB bandwidth
You can rescale cloud servers at hetzner, but you will need to shutdown the server in the process
chwzr··on Launch HN: Electric Air (YC W23) – Heat pump sold directly to homeowners
> This is meant to be installed by a professional contractor, not the homeowner.

But I would want to install that myself. I do everything in my house myself. Could I order a device from you and at the same time save the compensation that otherwise gets the installer?

chwzr··on Show HN: Total.js – Low-code development (Node-RED alternative)
+1 for react-flow it’s a joy to develop with
chwzr··on Could you recommend me a light web-stack for my web app?
Next.js with Prisma ORM - Dream team, you get SSR, Typescript Typings ootb.

If you host on Vercel you need a Postgress somewhere (aws, neon, Heroku, fly.io…)

If you host on own vps: use nosql and litestream for backup to s3(backplate b2) . Nosql is blazing fast on ssd vps

chwzr··on Select ’Hello, World’: Serverless Postgres Built for the Cloud
This would be the killer 2050 alien feature. Git is a really good mental model on itself. Git + Neon = you invent the future!
chwzr··on Neon – Serverless Postgres
Is there a timeline on releasing orchestration things?
chwzr··on Ask HN: Is there any node based CAD FOSS alternative for rhino/grashopper?
Thx will have a look into dynamobim
chwzr··on Show HN: Open-Source Auth for NextJS / React
yes having the identity on hand by just looking up req.identity would be super neat feature!
