itsmevictor··on Show HN: I built a tool to un-dumb Claude Code's CLI output (Local Log Viewer)
Why not just /usage?
itsmevictor··on Show HN: Nano PDF – A CLI Tool to Edit PDFs with Gemini's Nano Banana
Very nice! I wonder whether that could be used to get LLMs to annotate pdfs. Say an "agentic" CLI like Claude Code or Gemini-cli reviews a pdf and finds typos, could it use this to annotate the pdf like underlining them in red or something of that sort? That could be nice.
itsmevictor··on Gemini 3 Pro Model Card [pdf]
Noteworthily, although Gemini 3 Pro seems to have much benchmark scores than other models across the board (including compared to Claude), it's not the case for coding, where it appears to score essentially the same as the others. I wonder why that is.

So far, IMHO, Claude Code remains significantly better than Gemini CLI. We'll see whether that changes with Gemini 3.

Okay, I know I shouldn't anthropomorphize, but I couldn't prevent myself from thinking that this was a bit of a harsh way of saying things :(

itsmevictor··on Zoxide: A Better CD Command
Yes, thanks!
itsmevictor··on Ask HN: Has anyone else been unemployed for over two years?
Honestly, if you didn't struggle financially, it seems to me that you've had a pretty good time and that your perception that you're not accomplished enough in how you used your time is mostly a byproduct of our tendency to always be unsatisfied rather than stemming from your past few years having truly lacked purpose :-)

Very impressive project! Congrats.
itsmevictor··on Ask HN: What trick of the trade took you too long to learn?
I like your approach to relating your daily choices to your broader life goals.

I think you'd like Atomic Habits [1] if you haven't read it already.

itsmevictor··on Ask HN: How many of you are working in tech without a STEM degree?
Out of curiosity, did you learn much by pursuing the degree?
itsmevictor··on Show HN: A CLI tool to transcribe and clean YouTube videos with Whisper and LLMs
Yes, you're right, that's a good idea! I just checked the oTranscribe Netlify app and I think it's pretty cool.

However, I agree that it could be improved by having cleaner (transcribed) text. You should be able to integrate my approach pretty easily since srt and vtt output formats maintain the time stamps.

Let me know if there's something I can do to make your life easier. Otherwise, naturally, feel free to fork my repo etc. :-)

itsmevictor··on Deepseek R1-0528
I do a lot of data cleaning as part of my job, and I've found that small models could be very useful for that, particularly in the face of somewhat messy data.

You can for instance use them to extract some information such as postal codes from strings, or to translate and standardize country names written in various languages (e.g. Spanish, Italian and French to English), etc.

I'm sure people will have more advanced use cases, but I've found them useful for that.

itsmevictor··on OpenAI o3 and o4-mini
I find Gemini 2.5 truly remarkable and overall better than Claude, which I was a big fan of
