I tried this and i like the 'spec driven' approach. its a bit like amazon's kiro, but who wants to give more data to amazon?
RIP financial regulation. CFPB was hit early on but the dump coins were launched even before that
Re:Show HN: Firm, a text-based work management system on Thursday October 16, 2025 @08:38PM (#45612277)
Very cool like a text based crm. Like how obsidian keeps all your docs in local .MD files. Perfect for building agent automations without delving into lots of integrations. This does make it harder to collaborate though

Reminds me also a bit of

https://github.com/MrLesk/Backlog.md

I've seen people but cpc campaigns and only place ads that don't convert. So they get the benefit of the branding instead. I guess more modern auction algorithms factor this in
Half my advertising budget is wasted, I just don't know which half... In many corporate cases vague metrics meets the KPI better than accurate ones

I worked for one of the mag7 doing customer support bot tech. Clients internal metrics around containment consistently showed better results than ours - even though you'd normally expect them to be putting pressure on their vendor. because it was a kpi for their internal team to look good to their bosses

nice launch!

Do you worry that AI browser agents (comet etc) will eat this market of light integrations? Since the user is already logged in to various services like linkedin/email etc it's easy for tasks to be scripted together - or fully prompted.

also what did you use to make the video? looks better than most looms.

I do like convex but do you support any other data stores?

Were you using their embedded player or some other method to play the raw streams?

The embed links back to YT which is a major part of why they provide it for off-platform playback.

But if they somehow singled you out for overuse of the embed that seems rather arbitrary

does this work with cloudflare workers? I'm assuming if its using worker threads it might be some node specific API?

or at least the putting jobs into a queue side running within cloudflare?

amazing posting, would be great if you had an extended network so people could collab with you, not just work there!

https://podskim.com is for turning podcasts into knowledge graphs and making them visually skimmable. Keep adding features but need to shift to some user research and see how people are using it

why isn't this bigger news?

it looks like installing a dll so maybe it's windows only?

https://Podskim.com is a way to skim through podcasts like a TikTok sans the brain rot. It also has some fact checking and topic monitoring behind the scenes. Haven't figured out a business model for it yet but has been fun to keep poking it
Maybe we could do this with just a voice recorder? writing stuff with a pencil seems unnecessarily laborious - unless the physical part is the point. you still get the mental exercise by trying to understand synopsize, and present the information
And the cost is often on the small business owner

LLMs have already replaced some code directly for me eg NLP stuff. Previously I might write a bunch of code to do clustering now I just ask the LLM to group things. Obviously this is a very basic feature native to LLMs but there will be more first class LLM callable functions over time.
So metaphorically speaking RN is an eye up over everything else?

I used this neck in the day! You somehow did better Lora training than others in the space! Found you via discord
This sounds like an amazing resource. What’s the rationale for making it all free?
they had to move off mission around the corner to a backstreet, so there are less mission vagrant rogues trying to sneak in now, and still the hardcore of interesting people.

when i first moved back to the city from overseas, noisebridge was an awesome third place to hang out and hack on stuff while meeting regulars.

Re:Japan Post launches 'digital address' system on Wednesday May 28, 2025 @09:29PM (#44122233)
Interesting. More like a dns than physical address?
GIF animations will autoplay where video embeds often will not esp on mobile. For a looping low color vector animation it might not be too bad.
your option is a bit more verbose but definitely more clear. confusing the underlying definitions of the language itself will lead to problems later.

They’re great if word count is your measure. But it’s hard for LLMs to know the whole current SOTA and come up with something innovative and insightful. The same as 99% of human proposals. Can LLMs come up with the 1% ideas that breakthrough? Paired with great execution
Re:Claude Code SDK on Tuesday May 20, 2025 @01:46AM (#44038163)
Yes this is known etiquette eg in China where voice memos are widely used on WeChat. Sending a voice memo is slightly rude for business as it says I the sender value my time to dash something off more even if it’s inconvenient for you the receiver who has to then stop and listen to it. Between friends is a bit different as voice has a level of personal warmth.
Re:AniSora: Open-source anime video generation model on Monday May 19, 2025 @12:11AM (#44026441)
So if a machine was to do the translation, should that also be considered a creative work?

If not, that would put pressure on production companies to use machines so they don’t have to pay future royalties
