Hi HN, I built this fun little site that generates a collage of your Steam library where each header image tile is sized by the playtime.

It's unfortunately not scaled linearly, I couldn't get it to look nice enough (the larger games would dominate the medium and small ones into obscurity). I would love any suggestions for improving the packing logic.

Source code: https://github.com/obviyus/playtime-panorama

It was inspired by a Reddit post [1] + Bun 1.3's changelog [2] introducing a "Full-stack JavaScript runtime". It was really fun to build this out without relying on any external dependencies.

sherl0ck | Junior Developer | Hyderabad, India | Full-time Hybrid

sherl0ck is a small startup building AI applications for businesses with a focus on finance and pharma sectors. We're bootstrapped and profitable.

We’re looking for a junior developer (0-2 YoE) to join us full-time in Hyderabad (hybrid setup). You’ll be working closely with a small team and get hands-on experience across the stack. Our ideal candidate is a generalist proficient with Typescript and React.

We care more about your curiosity and problem-solving skills than years of experience. Having side projects you've built / maintained is a huge plus.

Feel free to reach out to me at z [at] sherl0ck.com.

I recently upgraded a project from Remix to React Router 7 but unfortunately all AI assistants still try to "fix" my code with the Remix imports / conventions. I've had to add a bunch of custom rules but that doesn't seem enough.

This seems super useful though. I'll try it out with the RR7 docs and see how well it works.

I tried this for a while with ErsatzTV and really loved it. I don’t have cable anymore but I remember fond memories of cycling through channels as a child.

I set up a food channel that would cycle through Masterchef and a few travel cooking shows, one for anime and one for Bollywood movies.

It was incredibly enjoyable. I could just put on a channel after work without having to consciously make a decision on what to watch. Just watch whatever’s on the channel and switch over to something else if it didn’t click!

Definitely going to try this out on my NAS.

I’m a part of the patient gamers Discord server and have been working on the voting site for our Game of the Month: https://pg-gotm.com/

It’s pretty fun! It uses Ranked Choice Voting and lets users nominate games using the IGDB API. I’ve recently switched from MySQL to SQLite (technically libSQL / Turso) for the site and it seems to be going well! I’d love to add some nice stats with graphs about games and votes sometime in the future.

Unfortuntalely that happens more often than I'd like, especially if the frame contains both the plane and a bird. Hoping to fix that in V2!

That would work if inference on the Pi was faster. Right now it takes about 2.5s per image. The planes are in view for maybe 3s. By the time the next frame is fetched, the plane's already out of view.

Haha, I'm working on fixing that. One of my ideas is to run inference again on an image to check if it has any birds. If yes, reject the image.

It's a really cool time to be checking right now! All commercial flights are grounded in Delhi for Republic Day celebrations so I'm able to see images of Air Force planes!

That was such a good read. Thank you for sharing.

This is incredibly well-executed. If I were a Shopify user, I could easily see myself spending hours exploring all the channels. The nostalgic Sunday morning TV vibe is spot on! The 3D remote adds a wonderfully tactile, "chunky" feel to the experience.

I did encounter an issue with the phone QR code control where I couldn't get it to work (possibly due to an adblocker interfering?). While exploring the developer tools, I noticed a file named `ozempic-CmQHzXBW.css`. Out of curiosity, is this built using Remix?

oof, I love using o1 but I’m immediately priced out (I’m probably not the target audience either)

I’d love to see some examples of the workflows of these users

I hosted a multi-player server for my friends and it was a blast. The Docker image makes it so easy: https://github.com/bateau84/openttd

It's hard to explain but over the last couple of months I have an intuitive sense of when Claude (the web version) starts to lose context over a problem. Over there it's as simple as starting a new chat and building on top of that.

To me, it felt like Cursor blurred that line too much for my liking. The way I use LLMs is by giving it atomic, independant chunks of code that I need to review / refactor which, in my experience, leads to far superior output. I'm sure there's some way to make it work with Cursor but it just didn't click for me.

Genuinely an S-tier move by Github / MSFT. Cursor didn't really work out for me and I've been happily using using Claude projects for most of my prototyping. I'm hoping I can use it directly in VS Code without pay-as-you-go pricing or a Claude API key.

Copilot has been so-so in my experience but I still use it very often to infer Typescript types automatically (the VS Code Cmd + I shortcut is excellent!).

That's pretty much exactly how I started. Ran whisper.cpp locally for a while on a 3070Ti. It worked quite well when n=1.

For our use case, we may get 1 audio file at a time, we may get 10. Of course queuing them is possible but we decided to prioritize speed & reliability over self hosting.

Wonder if they'll eventually release Whisper support. Groq has been great for transcribing 1hr+ calls at a significnatly lower price compared to OpenAI ($0.36/hr vs. $0.04/hr).

Hah, CloudPing is awesome. I just wrote a TUI in Rust for exactly the same thing: https://github.com/obviyus/pong

I found myself going to CloudPing often enough to make a CLI for it

Podcasts often have a copy on YouTube nowadays. SponsorBlock has saved me hours

Pretty! Time to alias dig to doggo for a few days ;)

BTW I really enjoyed reading your blog on Nomad while setting up our own clusters, kudos!

Not yet, I think Google has a Workspace AI product that does that but we haven’t tried it

I’ve been using the free tier of Gemini for exactly this, it can read and summarise YouTube videos by reading transcripts and the auto-generated CCs. Works really well!

For some reason I expected a "not-first-class" experience while using my own hosted runner but that was not the case. It works and behaves exactly as their own runners do. Maybe s/surprisingly/extremely would be more what I meant.

Just wanted to add, I loved your post on logging Nomad allocs using Loki. Was a huge help while I was setting up our clusters at $CURRENT_JOB

Nice! I had been using self-hosted arm runners for my projects lately (which GitHub makes surprisingly easy to do): https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/...

Considering how compiling a couple of these projects on my tiny arm VPS slows down everything else, this is a welcome change!

> We have not received any unsolicited advice asking us to rewrite everything in Rust or Nim (yet).

One wonders if that’s changed since 2020…
