lsh0on 2D Vehicles

I just sunk an hour into this. I'm feeling better already.

lsh0on Ideas on modernizing the open-source desktop

> Tiling window managers aren't new though, I went through my tiling phase 25 years ago (Ion).

Me too! Never moved off of it: https://notionwm.net/

lsh0on Show HN: I made a Clojure-like language in Go, boots in 7ms

An alternative is Joker: https://joker-lang.org

I think it is brilliant and completely underappreciated :)

lsh0on Official Clojure Documentary page with Video, Shownotes, and Links

"A good craftsman doesn't blame his tools" might be the western equivalent.

lsh0on Quillx is an open standard for disclosing AI involvement in software projects

I like these efforts to neatly categorise the extent of AI usage in a project. I do think they need some kind of neutrally worded classification but this and the original post are fine attempts at this emerging niche. It's important to some of us and I look forward to what ends being adopted.

lsh0on Prism

... aaaand now it's JATS.

lsh0on ChatGPT Containers can now run bash, pip/npm install packages and download files

> LLMs still can't write Gleam/Janet/CommonLisp/etc

hoho - I did a 20/80 human/claude project over the long weekend using Janet: https://git.sr.ht/~lsh-0/pj/tree (dead simple Lerna replacement)

... but I otherwise agree with the sentiment. Go code is so simple it scrubs any creative fingerprints anyway. The Clojure/Janet/scheme code I've seen it writing isn't _great_ but it gets the job done quickly and correct enough for me to return to it later and golf it some.

lsh0on Seeing Geologic Time: Exponential Browser Testing

> This architecture was subjected to a definitive stress test at 100,000 years using a single-file artifact.

what does this even mean?

lsh0on OpenTSLM: Language models that understand time series

fwiw, I'm finding claude2 released a few days ago to be a lot less infuriating

lsh0on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel?

I think I'd be down for anime catgirls in my builds. Something particularly anti-corporate about that I could get behind.

lsh0on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel?

Not at all. I can't stand it either. It's definitely patronising and infantile. I tolerate the silliness, grit my teeth and move on but it wears away at my patience.

Hey, good luck with the interview!

lsh0on "Awful": Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen

The Vero 4 and Vero V by the OSMC team are amazing: https://osmc.tv

They do a terrible job of marketing themselves though, so quite underrated.

lsh0on Show HN: I made CMS less than 15 kilobytes, flat file

oh - some of those designs in the examples (quark, 0832) take me back. Pure nostalgia. Thank you.

lsh0on CIEL Is an Extended Lisp

I like to bring up Joker (https://github.com/candid82/joker) whenever there is a discussion of some lisp that is fast and convenient.

Clojure syntax implemented in Go.

I'm not affiliated I just think it's brilliant.

CEIL's example in Joker:

  (prn {:a 1 :b 2 :c 3})

Gist for downloading, installing and executing the above example: https://gist.github.com/lsh-0/f7df23777ef35a8cc3d85e1dcbf0eb...

Executing script took 2.1s overall. Execution of example took 0.007s.

lsh0on Elasticsearch is open source, again

> the small company that is 1% of the size of AWS

What on earth? Elastic is a multi-billion dollar company. They are no indie startup, scrappy underdog nor are they victims here.

AWS took the high road during this fiasco despite Elastic's mudslinging and flailing about.

lsh0on Custom Linux powered smart-TV breaks free from ads and tracking

I do own one, owned both the Vero 4k and Vero V and they have been brilliant.

OSMC do very little marketing for some reason and are extremely underrated but their customer service and support has been exceptional, new features and patches roll out regularly and the hardware itself is powerful, silent and has a minimal form factor.

Support for mapping Dolby Vision (DV) to regular HDR was recently added and it works seamlessly for the few DV-only media files I have.

The largest file I have is 4K77 (https://www.thestarwarstrilogy.com/project-4k77/) at about ~80GB with a bitrate that can hit 120mbps during particularly grainy scenes and it works perfectly on both the Vero 4k and V.

The only problem I have is anime encoded as Hi10P which stutters slightly on the Vero V during playback because hardware decoding isn't supported for 10bit H264 (Hi10p and the anime encode scene is unusual like that as 10bit is usually reserved for H265).

lsh0on Rye Language

A similar language is Joker (https://github.com/candid82/joker), Go based, Clojure syntax. I've been using it for years as a general purpose scripting language and Clojure code linter and formatter - it's exceptional.

It doesn't integrate non-Joker Go code as far as I know.
