pknerd··on Show HN: I built an AI that turns GitHub codebases into easy tutorials
Interesting..would you like to share some technical details? it did not seem you have used RAG here?
pknerd··on America underestimates the difficulty of bringing manufacturing back

My brain is unable to grasp it..How does it work and at what speed things used to get downloaded?
pknerd··on Plain – a web framework for building products with Python
Kind of off-topic, but I liked the concept of "llms.txt", something similar to robots.txt

https://plainframework.com/llms.txt

Since so many LLMs are around, there should be a standard URI to let LLM crawl about the website/product

pknerd··on Cursor told me I should learn coding instead of asking it to generate it
Claude is mostly opinionated and gives you feedback where it thinks it is necessary.
pknerd··on I use Cursor daily - here's how I avoid the garbage parts
Can one run cursor with local LLMs only?
pknerd··on Goravel: A Go framework inspired by Laravel
Wow, wow, wow!

As someone who loves both Laravel and Go, this is a Godsend! I would get back to Go only for using this!

Old HN!
pknerd··on ChatGPT Saved My Life (no, seriously, I'm writing this from the ER)
My Mom was in the ICU back in 2024 due to lung and heart issues. I wouldn't say I blindly followed what GPT suggested but it definitely helped to understand lap reports, ECG, and other imageries to understand doctors' lingo
pknerd··on The marketing genius of Bryan Johnson
As per Bryan, it would be: Don't rot
pknerd··on The marketing genius of Bryan Johnson
> Don't Die.

Death is a part of natural selection and necessary for the ecosystem. I am surprised that this pro-science guy does not get it.

pknerd··on Every .gov Domain
The title should mention that it is for the US only.
pknerd··on The secret ingredients of word2vec (2016)
2017 version: https://www.ruder.io/word-embeddings-2017/
pknerd··on My Life in Weeks
Such a unique and awesome UX. Such _timeline_ interface could be used for many use cases including biz/org related matters.

I wish she opensource it

And as they say, the rest is history.
pknerd··on Beej's Guide to Git
It is still better than (As)SVN
pknerd··on Build a link blog like Simon Willison
Never understood how he get time to do so many things. He is very productive
pknerd··on Sniffnet – monitor your Internet traffic
Agreed and that's what I do. The purpose is not the content but the time they spend online
pknerd··on Sniffnet – monitor your Internet traffic
may be some DNS thing that you put in your router settings so all the traffic will go via proxy instead of direct ISP
pknerd··on Sniffnet – monitor your Internet traffic
I'd like to collect something at the router level to learn how my kids are using the Internet.

Like I'd like to know the sites being visited on different devices.

Is there any such thing possible?

pknerd··on RLHF Book
Thanks. Is there a PDF version? I kind of feel difficulty switching links.
pknerd··on Bypass DeepSeek censorship by speaking in hex
Alright, I will be applying a similar technique on Facebook, LinkedIn Twitter, etc that censor your posts and suspend your account if you mention words like Palestine, Gaza, genocide, and Israel in your posts. People have to use different combos to avoid bans
pknerd··on Add "fucking" to your Google searches to neutralize AI summaries
It seems you do not need to swear

I did an experiment, I am not sure such but so far it is working

<YourKeyword> -Gemini

for example: Object Oriented Programming -Gemini

I did a few searches and it is working so far.

pknerd··on Add "fucking" to your Google searches to neutralize AI summaries
INterestingly, my ISP(Pakistan Telecom) blocked the website because it contains the F* word
pknerd··on OpenAI O3-Mini
OT: How many tokens are being consumed? How much are you paying for Claude APIs?
pknerd··on Launch HN: Karsa (YC W25) – Buy and save stablecoins internationally
Hindi is a central aka standard language for India, just like Urdu in Pakistan. Technically Urdu is an Indian language too
pknerd··on Launch HN: Karsa (YC W25) – Buy and save stablecoins internationally
It's quite weird you wrote in Hindi for INR but in Roman Urdu for PKR. ChatGPT could help you to come up with a decent Urdu text.

And that Roman Urdu is not correct either.
