From a brief look, it seems separate from Asahi, although it builds on some of Asahi's existing work. I'm still not clear why it needed to be a separate project rather than contributing M4 support upstream. Could be a good reason, but it does look a bit duplicative at first glance.
Re:Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite: Built for intelligence at scale on Tuesday March 03, 2026 @12:00PM (#47235312)
The Gemini Pro models just don't do it for me. But I still use 2.5 Flash Lite for a lot of my non-coding jobs, super cheap but great performance. I am looking forward to this upgrade!

I doubt the gripe has ever been about putting the latest tech in it. It’s more about putting the latest tech in it and then having very little to actually do with it.

Show HN: spoilerjs – Reddit-style spoilers with particle animations

https://spoilerjs.sh4jid.me

Hello HN!I just published my first npm library as a small way to give back to the open source community.I built `spoilerjs`, a lightweight web component that lets you hide text with an animated spoiler effect. Think Reddit spoilers, but with more flair! It works with plain HTML, React, Vue, or Svelte, and you can customize attributes like particle density, velocity, and scale. The effect is...

Show HN: Mobile Fluid Simulation Controlled by Device Tilt

https://fluid.sh4jid.me

A few days ago I came across the amazing `flip-card` project by Nicholas Johnson, which had fluid simulation running on business cards. I thought there had to be similar projects for mobile phones, since the DeviceOrientation API is widely supported. But after my brief search, I could not find anything that works in the browser!So I built this. The fluid is intentionally a little jumpy because...

That's what people at Reddit told me. I will allow people to plug-in their own API keys very soon.

I am also now using a better model, so hopefully the summaries are better now.

Thank you for taking a look!
May be the model I'm using currently is not cut out for the job! Thank you for pointing this out!

Show HN: Add "gist" to any YouTube URL to get instant video summaries

https://www.youtubegist.com/

Hello HN!Between academics and everything else on my plate, I still find myself watching way too many YouTube videos. So I built `youtubegist` - just add `gist` after `youtube` in any video URL to get an instant summary.Before: https://youtube.com/watch?v=<...> After: https://youtubegist.com/watch?v=<...>I know there are other YouTube summarization tools, but they're either...

Thank you so much for taking a look!

And you're right! Most readers likely have enough fluency to follow the original articles. But I think having the headline and summary in Bengali really helps grab attention, especially for the younger audience or more casual readers. If that makes them curious, then they can read the full article!

Re:Ask HN: How Many Hours Do You Code in a Day? on Wednesday October 16, 2024 @02:20AM (#41856119)
Some days I don't code at all, some days I code 8-12 hours. For me, I find it hard to consistently coordinate between my academic efforts and coding projects.

Ask HN: Ways to Earn on the Side for a Student?

Hello HN,I am an undergrad majoring in mechanical engineering. I've always had a love for coding looking for ways to earn some money as a developer, because it has been a little rough lately.What I would ideally love is small one-off gigs that I can complete over a week or less, or a remote job that isn't too intensive. If the tech stack is up to me, I can build good looking, accessible and...

There are plenty of websites that let you copy and paste UI blocks, for free. And they have a lot more options to choose from. How is yours any different, and why should one pay for this?

Thanks for playing!

Yeah a lot of people noticed the issue. I will have to do something about it!

It's not a limitation, it's just hosted in Vercel. I will try and find an appropriate place to hyperlink my GitHub account.

That has been the way it worked before, later I opted in for levels.

You can find how the levels are here: https://github.com/shajidhasan/shehzadi-in-peril/blob/main/g...

Thank you for the tip, will do!

Aha! :P Yeah that sound is pretty funny.

Well, there's this browser limitation, you first have to interact with a webpage in a way for it to be able to produce sound. This stops random tabs and pages blasting sound as soon as they're opened. That's why you need to first kill an ant first!
