jfdi··on SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B
Grok’s capabilities on Cursor’s data should be a step function there. Go X! Congrats Cursor, what a ride!
jfdi··on Launch HN: Strata (YC X25) – One MCP server for AI to handle thousands of tools
Nice work this definitely feels like a market gap, for those who’ve been deep enough to experience it.
jfdi··on Nvidia buys $5B in Intel
Great news for all involved. It also would seem to validate Apple’s unified architecture for inference, and imply AMD is getting close…
jfdi··on Ask HN: Custom domain name for personal email?
Will typically connect Microsoft 365 email to owned domain and pricing is relatively cheap and it works great.
jfdi··on Django-litestripe: fast, simple subscriptions for your Django application
Sharing for awareness in case of value for any HNers, this little app helped get subscriptions online for a hobby project and has now been open sourced (MIT). There are bigger established alternatives and as is explained in the readme, this one is designed to be encapsulated, ideomatic, and end-user privacy-preserving.
jfdi··on Netflix buffering issues: Boxing fans complain about Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson
Right?!
jfdi··on gptel: a simple LLM client for Emacs
Anyone know of a similar option for vi/m? (Not neovim etc).

Been searching and have found some but nothing stands out yet.

jfdi··on I discovered mysterious hidden signals on a public radio channel (2013) [video]
We need a tl;dr on this one!
jfdi··on Show HN: A CLI tool I made to self-host any app with two commands on a VPS
These are great. Having tooling to get stuff out fast and as safely as possible to get to iterating openly.

Here’s a bash script I posted a while back on a different thread that does similar thing if of interest for anyone. It’s probably less nice than op’s for ex it only works with digitalocean (which is great!) - but it’s simple small and mostly readable. also assumes docker - but all via compose, with some samples like nginx w auto-ssl via le.

jfdi··on Poll: Is AI Hype a Bubble?
Imho there is hype and bubble yes but not at the core: at the core is AGI in 5 years and significant change. The bubble/hype is coming from where it seems to always come from - the non-core camp.
jfdi··on Compressing Images with Neural Networks
thank you! will enjoy reviewing each of these
jfdi··on Compressing Images with Neural Networks
Anyone know of open models useful (and good quality) for going the other way? I.e., Input is a 800x600 jpg and output is 4k version.
jfdi··on Show HN: I made a resistor calculator with TS+React
Nice job! You may want to add a manifest so it’s easily added as an app on mobile (add to Home Screen)
jfdi··on Catalyst – Tailwind CSS Application UI Kit
<3 tailwind
jfdi··on ArXiv receives $10M for upgrades
Good call. Surprised it’s not more given its value as (among other things) AI corpus.
jfdi··on Forty years of programming
inoremap kj <Esc>

:)

jfdi··on Ask HN: How do you use AI to get things done faster?
It’s eliminated a mental barrier to building products where I was worried before I had limited time to work and needed to focus on things that drew from existing familiarity.

Now I’m able to focus on the product/outcome even if what’s involved is outside what I’m familiar with and at least get started building.

The net effect has been I can build a wider variety of things in a wider variety of tooling with more enjoyment and less drudgery.

- text summaries

- sysadmin stuff

- debugging stuff

- boilerplate stuff

- unblocking writers block

- integrating disparate stacks

- data transformation and algorithm stuff

- most marketingy stuff: copy, images, campaign/activations

jfdi··on Ask HN: Looking for a resource on Linux kernel module development
What kind of resource are you looking for?

Have you already gotten started with your LLM of choice, and need something more?

jfdi··on I don't want to host services but I do
Genuine q. The main thing stopping me from self hosting is security. Having a box in the cloud get hacked as long as data is properly encrypted and secured - not good but also can easily destroy and spin up anew.

But having your home server hacked and then presumably your entire home network and everything in it - seems way too fraught to even attempt it.

Thoughts on that? Am I just too unfamiliar with network security and this actually solved now — and there is already a well-defined trusted approach to this?

jfdi··on Show HN: HN comments sidebar bookmarklet
Please do! Besides being a fun exercise it’s also a neat idea. Comments from the HN community make the content posted almost always more interesting imho
jfdi··on Comparing Adobe Firefly, Dalle-2, and OpenJourney
Nice! Would you mind sharing which stable diff you used / where you obtained from?
jfdi··on Llama.cpp: Full CUDA GPU Acceleration
Is there a legitimate way to get the weights to actually use this without filling in forms?
jfdi··on OpenJourney: Midjourney, but Open Source
What is web4.0?!
jfdi··on Agile isn’t about speed, it’s about direction
Well it’s both imo - i.e., agile is about velocity.
jfdi··on Norvig's Law (2002)
I’m sure I’m missing something deeper here: isn’t it tautological that something that is at >50% can’t double again?
jfdi··on Microsoft bakes a VPN into Edge and turns it on
Nice work MSFT
jfdi··on The image in this post displays its own MD5 hash
Thank you!
jfdi··on What would a “good” WebMD look like?
Keep it up! Love where you are heading with this!
jfdi··on Bits of advice I wish I had known
This is beautiful thank you
jfdi··on Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
https://increment.me “Get anonymous feedback on anything”

Built it, use it, enjoy it, get value from it and I think everyone could. May turn into 501c3!
