not really sure its a wise choice to disclose datacenters anymore publicly. Just increases attack vector and not very value adding to people. most customers care about latency and as long as you can point to a region where you are its enough

I am constantly surprised how none of these new search APIs come even close to how easy it is to use ddg by any agents. Everytime I look at a new search API, I click, see pre requisite to sign up to X/Y/Z and I exit.

Once a user travels to an object, would be cool to let the camera auto revolve the object slowly (in plane). Especially for kids that could be a cool feature especially you are chrome casting it your largest tv at home. So can leave it on for a while as screensaver

I think what the report says is that onus on R&D is shifting to Corporates and Startup labs which are churning more cutting edge engineering and in some cases science faster

i have been pouring on my 10% free time into evolutionary algorithms. thinking about the premise of what a transformer alternative with evolutionary algorithms look like.
Would be keen on talking to anyone who has been researching in this area. X: @jharohit

I think a Prompts upvoting and submission section could be fantastic. Can be text or audio/visual. Stuff that is God Tier and discussion around that? Could be absolutely epic given the background of the community here

on that theme it reminds my of the Pico-8 community (although technically it is an engine but you dont need to do engine programming even for generating music!!)
compiled a personal webpage to play with mobile controls and a javascript engine to play the pico-8 games and i love the celeste port on that!

“Also I have no idea why the average score was increased in 2022. A lot of new users?”
Possibly. Post covid many companies laid off people and that could have led to more time and interaction with HN and many more new builders and solopreneurs joining the community

Re:Pocketbase – open-source realtime back end in 1 file
on Friday November 28, 2025 @02:21AM (#46076345)
love it. been using for personal projects.
some things that still need to be done before v1 launch:
- easy data migration in and out (right now is a pain if its large volume of data from other DB eg firebase or sqlite!)
- API/programmatic setup of tables (right now its only via UI making it hard to setup large complex tables with variable permissions)
- Multi-instance: easiest is to have another pocketbase in "mirror" mode that it updates once a day or whatever with primary (primary > secondary method like in mongo is a great mechanism, with some kind of voting for primary)
