My jev browser plugin gave it a 61% not written by AI
If 5000 people can hire unlimited people without thinking about cost, their world view you bet is very different from the rest of the world.
I bought this book on two occasions because of recommendation here. I still haven't started it yet. This time I know I have two already so I'm not getting a third one.
Naming is hard. I still don't know what noul means. I don't mind calling a probabilistic boolean as boolean at all.
At this point I just want chatgpt plus and claude pro to have API access
I’m using Jev to classify a blob of text I see in browser with an extension. Calibrated? No. But it’s handy enough. If a large blob of text is likely AI generated, I’m very likely to skip it

A browser extension to let you define any question to ask in a webpage. I default it to identify AI written texts. It extract texts element under cursor send to Jev for classification. It comes with all the caveats of Jev. Its classification is in no way an objective truth.Use your own API key at your own risk. I don't collect any info. Only network requests are to typesafe. For me 100 requests...
Thank you for all the explanations. I think I have better understanding now.
Another question, at what scale (in terms of number of services, and maybe throughput? what other dimensions?) should we start considering using temporal?
Can I understand it as a performant celery with a UI?
Can someone shed some lights on what temporal does?
Their blog says [1]
Durable Execution offers three key benefits:
It improves application reliability by providing fault tolerance.
It simplifies code by allowing it to focus on the goal instead of potential problems.
It accelerates development by eliminating the need to write complex error-handling logic.
So... like exception handling? or something like erlang's let it crash mantra?
Why is it such a big deal? Genuine question, not trying to be snarky

I only started playing less than a year ago. I paid for one year because of game review to improve my game. Didn't know lichess exist, but I'm not paying for a second year for sure
Hiring for specific skills
Tax and regulations always punish the good actors
I feel that physical change the moment I saw my son first time. Something snapped/connected in my brain. I will do anything for that little thing. The feeling is visceral. It is very hard not to preach your best experience to others
If you are not mindful, the tests it generates is just a re-implementation. Nothing was tested but every future change needs to modify two places
Thanks for the feedback, will look into it!
Nicely made! I thought I'm good with flags, and then there come a question of jordan, palestine and two more similar flags.
I made a similar but uglier little party game https://geo-dude.com for my kids. Supports up to 4 players
I wrote the faceblurring. It didn’t work on multiple faces when I first processed the videos. Thanks for pointing out, I should have blurred them
Solid feedback, thanks!
1. is very doable. My local gym uses an app to manage monthly leaderboard already and people seem to like it. There is a friendly rivalry in my local gym where people "fight" for the top spots
2. A lot can be done from the helping beginner angle. A coach told me he wishes to show hip placement and movement to young climbers, as it is easier to show than to tell an 8yo. I thought of doing inverse kinematics from holds to resolve body positions, so I get beta (sequence of moves) for each problem right away. Too hard, don't know if it is solvable.
A bit tangential, I think in theory the climbing wall with a set of problems is itself an identifiable code. We might get rid of the QR code too. I can create an index of visual features that resolves to a camera position, raycast from camera position to narrow down to maybe 3-5 problems, and select videos from there. But I digress.
On route rotation, maybe the gym will be responsible for uploading the scan. My local gym uses an app to manage route. People view what route is available on a wall. It is just a label saying "red is a V4", no photos, and every month there is a leaderboard. People apparently use it. And occasionally people share their beta there.
For outdoor problems, I imagine it will be more like a map, and recording be taken with a drone. This is in contrast to the climbing magazine with plain photos of route.
I also think the usefulness decline as climbing ability increase. At the end of the day, climber just want to climb. But maybe there is some strava angle I can explore.
Appreciate your feedback, thank you!

Commented on yesterday's Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026), thought I might as well submit a Show HN.If you see climbing world cup/championship, there is this 3D modelling thing [1]. I want that for my weekly bouldering.I scanned my local climbing gym into 3D mesh using iphone. Built a simple editor to trim, merge, move/rotate meshes. You can interact with the mesh, view routes,...
Climbing gym photogrammetry. My idea is that route and climb recordings is best recorded against a 3D climbing gym model, rather than a plan video, and technology has gotten good enough to do with a regular phone.
As a climber myself, to climb effectively, one has to review their own climb, and with other people. 4D video, body positions across time, is very helpful in improving climbing. I managed to get a reasonable result (far from good) from one video, rather requiring multiple camera angles.
Haven't gotten to monetization yet, but I am enjoying every moment of making it.

When using chatbots, I often lose track of which question the response I’m reading is answering. It is even more confusing when scroll up and down looking for a previous answer to a particular query. In a wall of text, I have no way to tell. So I made this simple browser extension to give me a simple table of content.It works on chatgpt.com, claude.ai, grok.com and gemini.google.com. I use the...
Tangential, for static site like this, why do people choose to host on vercel instead of github page?
