modinfo··on Show HN: Loss. a tiny satire about AI progress

modinfo··on Show HN: Loss. a tiny satire about AI progress
Just like me, i can't stop playing
modinfo··on Show HN: I made a flight simulator, except you're just a passenger
I love that this is in real time and this jokes :D Even we have chess game :3
modinfo··on I wanted a clock that never needed setting. Things escalated
As I saw you using raspberry pi zero w for just display clock, I though this is over engineering, simple Attiny18 with RTC can do this, but adding HomeKit makes this project somehow very interesting and thanks to NTP you have truly clock that never needs setting.

Nice fun project!

Edit: Maybe you can add speaker for internet radio to wake up?

modinfo··on ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English for LLMs

thanks for shearing!

modinfo··on Show HN: macOS menu-bar manager for SSH port forwards
Nice idea!

I rebuild it for linux https://github.com/skorotkiewicz/RelayBar

modinfo··on So Reddit has decided that plain HTML is unsafe
Reddit isn't saying HTML has a security flaw. The problem, from reddits perspective, is that old reddit makes it easy to scrape a lot of content anonymously. Requiring a login gives reddit an account it can rate limit or ban, while "New" reddit provides more telemetry and anti-bot checks.

The article is right about one thing: JavaScript and frontend bloat do not secure public content. They just make scraping more "expensive"

But frontend design does affect how easily a site can detect and restrict automated traffic. Reddit may have a real abuse problem. Calling the change necessary 'to keep Reddit safe' though, is slippery wording. this is about controlling access to content and automated traffic, not protecting anyone from unsafe HTML.

modinfo··on Late.sh – a command-line Clubhouse for computer people
This is amazing! Even real icecast with irc <3 Even my fav game 2048, even with real LLM :D

Fantastic job mati!

modinfo··on Show HN: Find someone in the dark – light them or light yourself? (Three.js)
On GitHub repo i added url, hosted on my vps: //a.sekor.eu.org/signal-in-the-dark/

the core idea for this tiny project was that someone say to me, to find someone we need to do both, but i was curious to turn this idea literally; What is more effective? To find someone in the dark, shine a light on person you're trying to find, or shine a light on yourself so that person can find you? this tiny app even do A/B tests with your settings.

modinfo··on GitHub will send you a CD with your repo on it
Well, i request cd after checking even SSL certificate, seams legit. But why?

modinfo··on Self-Harness: Harnesses That Improve Themselves
I like this idea, i ask codex to build Pi extension after reading this paper.

https://github.com/skorotkiewicz/nano-agent/blob/main/pi_ext...

modinfo··on Trains halted across Germany because of communication system problem
"IT Outage: No train service nationwide. Due to a nationwide outage of the GSMR digital rail radio system, all trains are being held at stations. We are working around the clock to resolve the issue.

Our technicians are working around the clock to resolve the outage.

Please continue to check your travel connection immediately before departure using the travel information service at bahn.de, the DB Navigator app, or by calling the travel information hotline at 030/2970."

modinfo··on Ntsc-rs – open-source video emulation of analog TV and VHS artifacts
To have true VHS effect, I think we should train AI for this, examples from digital videos to record on true VHS tape, on multiples VHS devices then digitalize and calculate difference between original and digitalized from VHS.

Then even we could have filter like: VHS Panasonic, VHS Sony...

This would be very interesting project.

modinfo··on FRRouting – implements and manages various IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols
alternative to ffr: quagga
modinfo··on A Comma and a Question Mark
btw, even his dottxt.ai, look interesting, that gives for every query to llm a schema how to respond, i always tell my llm how to respond in system prompt, but this is much cleaner!

$ dottxt generate --model Qwen/Qwen3.5-27B --prompt "Is this output valid?" --schema '{"valid": "boolean"}'

{"valid": true}

modinfo··on A Comma and a Question Mark
This is not really a new idea, even I wrote "how" in rust, that just ask my local llm and after approve execute.

But the idea from OP is much better! I love that he used basic tools, this comma remind me a little bit of old irc bot, it was exactly the same flow, ", <query>".

Love it! <3

Thanks for sharing!

BTW, no one need $7k device to run eg. gemma4 e2b, even your phone can act as llm provider, it was a joke from op ;)

modinfo··on Show HN: Watch a neural net learn to play Snake

modinfo··on OpenTrafficMap
Ahh, it send automatically to website! "mqtts://cits1.opentrafficmap.org"
modinfo··on OpenTrafficMap
It will be nice if we everybody could just add own receivers, then it will be quickly cover more cities. But still nice project.
modinfo··on Cursor Camp
I did something similar https://github.com/skorotkiewicz/proximity-explorer
modinfo··on Show HN: LocalLLM – Recipes for Running the Local LLM (Need Contributors)
This is nice idea! But opensource it and instant to save data to db, just save to markdown on github, then everyone can send PRs to edit/add instructions. More freedom and simpler.
