tetekon Ask HN: Are technical blogs dead?

but that some guy was reading your blog, so you were building a reputation and maybe a personal brand or position of authority on some subjects.

now, it's like you are working for free for gen-AI companies.

tetekon Ask HN: Are Technical Blogs Dead?

I feel much less incentivised to post publicly. The only benefit might be that I review and think more before posting than saving locally.

The downside is that now bunch of llms will read it and spill my thoughts all over without any attribution. I might be even ok with that, but now some company is making money on it, and that doesn't sit well with me.

I'm building KineVision https://kine.vision. Top notch sports video analysis tool for iOS.

tetekon Ask HN: What are you working on? (January 2026)

I'm building KineVision, a sport video analysis app for iOS. Something like Coach's Eye.

I wanted to have a more difficult project and learn more about AV and Liquid Glass. I try not to vibe-code. I keep it 100% free for now, I'm looking for power users and retention. I won't monetise until I feel that this is a helpful tool.

tetekon The age of average (2023)

lol, this is an absurdly bad article, picking similar things and showing them together claiming there's nothing else that stands out.

tetekon Ask HN: What is a programming language that you don't use at work but enjoy?

tetekon Show HN: Todo Screenshots; take screenshot to add a todo

tetekon Launch HN: CamelQA (YC W24) – AI that tests mobile apps

tetekon Ask HN: Show me your half baked project

https://visuel.world

https://apps.apple.com/pl/app/photo-notes-visuel/id644681288...

I don’t like typing so I’m experimenting with camera, and screenshot organizing for productivity.

It’s my weekend project, but I’m trying to update at least once a month. So far works for me for collecting gift ideas or stuff I see in real life and want to check online later.

tetekon 37signals Introduces "Once" - Buy software one time

sounds like perfect place for a middle man, who will buy, host and charge subscription to the end user :)

tetekon Ask HN: How can Kagi not see my queries?

from landing page "We do not log or associate searches with an account" I guess it's nothing technological like FHE, but rather how they set up their system.

tetekon Ask HN: Do you like Notion? Isn't it overrated?

I also find it annoying. My whole company uses Craft now.

tetekon Ask HN: What would an IDE built for the Apple Vision Pro look like?

Vim but you can quit with hand gesture

tetekon App idea to no product market fit in 3 months

to some extend.. but Visuel has productivity features. I've found some app that are similar and had a success few years ago

I’m looking for an opportunity where I won't be squeezed into a tiny box. Ideally at the a early startup, close to the product development.

I will consider part-time or full time. Ideally b2b.

tetekon Build full “product skills” and you'll probably be fine

Halt and catch fire vibes

tetekon Ask HN: People are cheating in Job Interviews using my app. Am I in trouble?

haha I see what you did there. Nice way to validate product idea

tetekon Is Google coral getting abandoned

ai accelerator market is so tough... When we were designing ai pipeline for video processing at my last company, we went through a lot of different accelerators during research...

most of the companies won't even send you a dev kit unless you show promise to buy thousands.. Google coral was different, of the shelf, easy to buy, plug and play, python API.

It has a few problems though. It's not very fast for today's standards.The list of supported operators aged quickly. On top of that it is a bit energy hungry, 2 TOPS per watt + random spikes.

I hope they are working on something new, but I also won't be suprised if they kill it, for the last year the devices are constantly out of stock.

tetekon Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2023)

thanks, similar story here. I'm in the middle in apartment renovation and initialy I made it to save images for todo to the backlog.

It's also very handy when my girlfriend shows me sth she likes, I can easly store it for gift ideas

tetekon Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2023)

I'm building a productivity app based only on camera images. For me it's always easier to capture what I need than to put it into words

think:

- fixes around the house / todos

- image as a reminder

- wishlist (some photo lists can be public and shareable)

- recommendations (when someone is showing you a book or sth, just capture and save it)

I'm still at an early experimentation stage, but have I'm documenting progress at https://twitter.com/visuelapp

tetekon How to speed up conformance checks in Swift by ~20%

~20% on app start for over a billion iPhone users, that's impressive amount of time saved..

Apple is obligated now to buy Emerge Tools and include that by default.

tetekon The Flickr Foundation

Flickr is the best option for long-term photo storage. I gladly pay for my pro account. Good luck with the foundation!

tetekon Ask HN: Why the Linux Kernel doesn't have unit tests?

I can't upvote this enough.

It breaks my heart when I see a manager with some engineering background, whose idea of better is to make the code coverage number higher.
