I have poured my heart into it

sujayk_33on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)

a general-purpose mobile agent, trying out on SLMs that work on phones. In case there's no internet.

sujayk_33on Ask HN: Why doesn't HN have a rec algorithm?

I agree too.

Yeah, it's not mobile-friendly. didn't get a chance to look into it

I worked on something similar but specifically for transformer architecture: https://transformer.sujayk.me/

So here is my understanding of current native image generation scenario, I might be wrong so please correct me, I'm still learning it and I'd appreaciate the help.

First time native image gen was introduced in Gemini 1.5 Flash if I'm not wrong, and then OpenAI was released for 4o which took over the internet by Ghibli Art.

We have been getting good quality images from almost all image generators like Midjourney, OpenAI and other providers, but the thing that made it special was true "multimodal" nature of it. Here's what I mean

When you used to ask chatgpt to create an image, it will rephrase that prompt and internally send that prompt to Dalle, similarly gemini would send it to Imagen which were diffusion models and they had little to know context in your next response about what's there in the previous image

In native image generation, it understands Audio, Text and even Image tokens in the same model and need not to rely on diffusion models internally, I don't think both Openai and google has released how they've trained it but my guess is that it's partially auto-regressive and diffusion but not sure about it

in the video they've added in announcement, they are showing some live interaction with the model(which is quite fast as compared to AI Edge gallery app), how's it built, how can I use it like this?

It's faster inference because of the Hardware (LPUs), here the question is about architectures (AR or Diffusions)

This is the second bullet post in the series as I prefer 10 short posts than one lengthy post.

Feedbacks are welcome.

sujayk_33on Ask HN: What is your definition of luxury?

Probably the most difficult one to obtain

I recently read this and was blown away by the way entropy was re-introduced to me.

I'm saving this for frequent checks. Much appreciated.

sujayk_33on Ask HN: Practical Tips to Stay Productive?

Interesting! I would love to try it out.

sujayk_33on Ask HN: Practical Tips to Stay Productive?

That's the most practical advice anyone can ever give.

Thanks for the heads up.

sujayk_33on Ask HN: Practical Tips to Stay Productive?

there there my friend.

sujayk_33on Ask HN: Practical Tips to Stay Productive?

Indeed. I had also built this dashboard(1) which overrides my browser tab so I am always aware of what I have to get done. I need to start using it again.

Thanks!

I'm also finishing a book per week, but after reading I'm scrolling usually(not much but I would be lying if I say I don't).

Can you suggest some good fiction? I recently finished the Good Girls Guide to Murder set and am looking for some page-turner.

TIA

I bet you've read atomic habits.

sujayk_33on Ask HN: Practical Tips to Stay Productive?

Locking some apps without knowing the password also helped me. I used to ask one of my friends who used to stay sufficiently away to lock with some password so that I would hesitate to go that far and feel guilty enough to even think that. Thanks for the attachments.

Interesting! I had always thought that sketching deadlines brings the best but timeboxing completes it with its second half of deciding when to start it.

sujayk_33on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?

I've overlooked the importance of having a good virtual presence, I believe it's better to be noticed and be an average developer than being very great but working alone. The former is more impactful and not that I intend to be average but I'm starting and would love to have a long impactful journey. so focusing on having noticeable social handles.

I didn't like web dev very much but now I'm enjoying Django a little so I intend to swallow Django and pull off some products maybe as I don't intend to have a regular job for the rest of my life and build what interests me.

So yeah, I've been pushing some Django projects and getting better at it.

If you wanna follow along or learn Django, here lies my journey

sujayk_33on Ask HN: As you got older what have you realised?

6 is so true

sujayk_33on Ask HN: As you got older what have you realised?

Do you believe in being generalist or a specialist?

sujayk_33on Ask HN: As you got older what have you realised?

And you'll be remembered by the way you treated them.

sujayk_33on Ask HN: As you got older what have you realised?

That's Smart. I also believe that a good partner can be one of the deciding factors of our better future.

sujayk_33on Ask HN: As you got older what have you realised?

True, everyone's putting on a show but nobody has actually figured it out.

sujayk_33on Ask HN: Has degradation in the quality of ChatGPT and Claude been proven?

I read an article that the models have become lazy as if they mimic the human behavior of postponing some work over to the next month if you are close to the month end or to next year if you're close to Xmas and things like that.

sujayk_33on Ask HN: What is the longest amount of time you've read in one sitting?

I've never completed a book in one sitting! Now I am envious of that feeling and would love to read a book from start to finish soon. I've two books from the millennial series remaining to be read, maybe I can start with those.
