steren··on Progressive Web Components
I don't understand your proposal

Customer elements MUST have an hyphen.

<Button> is the same as <button> in HTML

steren··on Open source AI must win
Wasn't it the point of ... OpenAI?
steren··on Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?
The moment when I ran llama on my old gaming PC (using something called ChatGPT4All) was my "oh shit" moment: I was now talking... to my PC.
steren··on 11.8M EU citizens pay taxes to governments they cannot vote for
Same in the US you know. Uncle Sam is very happy to take my tax money, but doesn't take my vote.
steren··on An Update on Heroku
At Google we call it KTLO ("Keep The Lights On")
steren··on Fabrice Bellard Releases MicroQuickJS
Check out this sample of using gVisor to spin up code sandboxes (potentially running on Cloud Run): https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-run-sandbox
steren··on Useful patterns for building HTML tools
I've also been creating HTML tools over the years when I couldn't find client-side only websites for PDF to SVG, CSV to Sheet, Audio to Video, Video to MP4.

I list them at https://client-side.app/

steren··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (October 2025)
Same thing I was working on in 2018 already: Google Cloud Run (https://cloud.run/) We just kept shipping, and shipping, and shipping...
steren··on Show HN: Understanding the Spatial Web Browser Engine
I myself have wondered why VisionOS Safari wasn't more leaning into the idea that the DOM has semantics (e.g. <header> <footer> <nav>) and CSS is already able to convey depth information.

I love the idea. Good luck with the project. (I maintain a <stereo-img> web component, see https://stereo-img.steren.fr/, and I had fun adding Ray tracing to DOM elements: https://rtx-on.steren.fr/)

steren··on Ollama Turbo
> I would never want to use something like ollama in a production setting.

We benchmarked vLLM and Ollama on both startup time and tokens per seconds. Ollama comes at the top. We hope to be able to publish these results soon.

steren··on Gemini CLI
Because Gemini CLI is OSS, you can also find the system prompt at: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/4b5ca6bc777...
steren··on Cloud Run GPUs, now GA, makes running AI workloads easier for everyone
> Because the pricing when creating an instance shows me the cost for the entire month

Are you referring to the GCP pricing calculator?

> This is just creating a GPU VM instance

Maybe you are referring to the Compute Engine VM creation page? Cloud Run is a different GCP service.

The Cloud Run Service creation UI doesn't show the cost.

steren··on Cloud Run GPUs, now GA, makes running AI workloads easier for everyone
Also, a GPU instance needs 5s to start. The test depends on how large the model is. So a "very small weak model" can lead much faster than 20s
steren··on Cloud Run GPUs, now GA, makes running AI workloads easier for everyone
> Google's pricing also assumes you're running it 24/7 for an entire month

What makes you think that?

Cloud Run [pricing page](https://cloud.google.com/run/pricing) explicitly says : "charge you only for the resources you use, rounded up to the nearest 100 millisecond"

Also, Cloud Run's [autoscalling](https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/about-instance-autoscaling) is in effect, scaling down idle instances after a maximum of 15 minutes.

steren··on Show HN: ClipJS – Edit your videos from a PC or phone
Curious: why not set up a custom domain?
steren··on Google to back three new nuclear projects
GW is power. Gwh is energy.

Energy is what matters when training a model.

Please get your units right. In the meantime, down voted.

steren··on Why can't HTML alone do includes?
in the meantime, you can use <html-include> https://www.npmjs.com/package/html-include-element
steren··on Icônes
Icônes is just how to write icones in French.
steren··on Make Your Own Website: A beginner's guide
No, we should teach React to beginners! ;)
steren··on Httptap: View HTTP/HTTPS requests made by any Linux program
Very nice. The README section makes it appear as if it's a group's work. I'm just noting that the code of httptap is authored by a single person (@alexflint) https://github.com/monasticacademy/httptap/graphs/contributo...
steren··on GenChess
you forgot to mention: "where you pick the style of the assets"
steren··on Run AI inference apps with self-hosted models on Cloud Run with Nvidia GPUs
Cloud Run PM here, ask me anything!
steren··on How we communicate signals seniority
My BS-o-meter went off the roof reading this article
steren··on Welcome to Ladybird
I doubt it's final
steren··on Figma Slides
Figma invested years in this super powerful real time canvas, only using it for UX mocks is not tapping its full potential
steren··on Show HN: Open-Source Video Editor Web App
I love that it's 100% client side.

I tried to drag and drop a .PNG but it didn't work.

steren··on Google helped destroy adoption of RSS feeds (2023)
> The most recent incident was in May 2021, where Google announced they're working on an update to Google Chrome that brings back RSS support. But there has been no word on an official launch since it was announced years ago. It's unclear of what the implications of this feature will be.

The feature is launched. Base don my experience: Any site you "follow" will appear in the "Following" tab of the new tab page, and I have seen these sites also pop up in the feed of my Pixel phone (Google Now?)

steren··on Saving Electricity (1998 – 2023)
Don't save electricity. Switch to high efficiency electrical appliances (notably heat pump heating, cooling, water heating)

Add home battery to store electrical energy when cheap (potentially from your own solar panel) and use when expensive.

Then let your country / state lower the electricity carbon intensity.

We must electrify

steren··on We made an animated movie in 8kB
I'm the creator of the original movie this movie took inspiration from (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khWXdkryBE4).

Very impressive to see the remake fit fit in 8kB considering the original is MBs of Blender, SVG and Audio files

Yay, the Creative Common license was actually useful! I wish the authors had actually used the same hedgehog character and audio melody.
