News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I do aim for modern devices. For example I have a scroll observer that will scroll the page inside of the thumbnail as you scroll down so you can preview more of a destination page. Can I ask what tablet are you using?

My main target is Desktop - preferably large monitors - but also mobile - but the experience is a little bit more limited on mobile

I built HN Glance because I often find that a title, score, and comment count aren't enough to tell me whether an HN link is worth opening.

I'm a visual person, so I've added a visual preview of the submitted page so you can quickly judge whether it's an article, paper, product page, paywall, etc. The screenshot isn't meant as decoration — it's part of deciding whether the source deserves a click.

I've also been experimenting with how to read deep HN discussions. The normal nested comment tree is still there, but there's an optional Discussion Focus that lets you navigate a branch through columns while keeping the selected comment and its path back to the root in view.

The broader idea is to make it easier to answer two questions: is this story worth my attention? and, once I'm interested, is the value in the source, the HN discussion, or links people shared in the discussion?

I'd be interested in feedback on the discussion navigation in particular.

Now that I’ve had a closer look at https://www.orangecrumbs.com, I see that they’re trying to address the same problem: how to enhance the consumption of those valuable feeds and provide additional insights to their users.

I appreciate your proposal, and in a way, I’ve already explored a similar idea. However, for this concept to be successful, you’ll need a large screen, preferably wide. Unfortunately, I haven’t had a comparable good experience on mobile devices.

I’ll revisit this idea. Thank you for the feedback. However, I want to ensure that the reader remains focused. In today’s fast-paced world, everything revolves around quick consumption and filtering options. I wanted to create a quick way to scan and evaluate the content, followed by a simple way to immerse oneself in the article, read it, scan it, and check the comments.

I assume the lag is browser-dependent. I don’t resize images for thumbnails. I want to keep this simple and cheap to maintain. My next step is to find an easy-to-maintain pipeline for generating screenshots and thumbnails.
I didn't knew this project. Thank you for sharing. I'm always looking for better ways to consume / filter this amount of information.

Show HN: NinjaHorder: The Stealth Domain Checker for Paranoid Entrepreneurs

I built a browser-based domain name explorer that uses DNS-over-HTTPS to keep your million-dollar ideas secret. It's like whispering "Is this domain taken?" to the internet without anyone eavesdropping. Feedback is welcome on improving accuracy without sacrificing tinfoil hat compatibility.

Show HN: LatentSpace Haiku – AI-Generated Haikus with Matching Imagery

https://haiku42.net/

Hey HN! Check out my weekend project: LatentSpace Haiku. It combines haikus generated by Cloudflare's Mistral model, running on AI Workers, with images from Lexica.art's vector embedding search engine. The goal? To see if AI can create poetry that resonates emotionally and visually.Be warned, the UI is basic – I'm more interested in whether the content sparks any reaction. Some haikus are deep;...

Author here: This was a fun weekend project using the new Cloudflare GPU Workers(https://ai.cloudflare.com/?gpu) and Lexica Search API (https://lexica.art/) See The code: https://gist.github.com/valentinvieriu/8c9e911fa268726462d66... --- Best Viewed on a Mobile phone when added to the home screen.

I’ve opened it on 2 devices and showed 2 different numbers. So either the counter is fake, or there is a load balancer issue :)
Re:Show HN: A list of short .com domains that are available on Sunday October 11, 2020 @04:46PM (#24748956)
It is very raw indeed. What service are you using to check the availability? Any api that you recommend? I assume you’ve used brute force to generate all those domains. Can you expand a little?

My favorite part of it is at the end of the file :) if name == "boring_wozniak" /* Steve Wozniak is not boring */ { goto begin }
Congratulations on the project! This looks very similar to my project: https://art42.net I've used the higher resolution model 1024, and I also chosen to generate the picture in advance. It's expensive to generate them realtime.
Is this about Helm2 or Helm3?
Re:This Artwork Does Not Exist on Thursday March 05, 2020 @01:35AM (#22491439)
I was wondering this too. Thank you for sharing this. I've had a similar idea with https://art42.net and wondering what type of copyright to add. Is this Creative Commons?
Re:This Artwork Does Not Exist on Thursday March 05, 2020 @01:25AM (#22491393)
I've launched a similar project some weeks ago. https://art42.net see the previous thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22344254
Re:This Artwork Does Not Exist on Thursday March 05, 2020 @01:24AM (#22491389)
Hehe, is funny how some ideas are just swimming in the minds of contemporary people. This is what I'm doing with https://art42.net
Re:This Artwork Does Not Exist on Thursday March 05, 2020 @01:22AM (#22491382)
Credit should have been mentioned at the beginning of the project. HTML is not that hard!
Re:Watch AI generated art on your TV on Wednesday March 04, 2020 @05:59PM (#22489089)
Author here: Some weeks ago launched https://art42.net , a website to explore an infinite stream of AI Generated art. I wonder if a live streaming of AI generated art and music would be something that you would love to see in your living room tv? There is a White Backgorund Version (https://youtu.be/3bVGunLp2dU) and Black Background Version (https://youtu.be/ArXCHitvKu0)

Is this something that you would put on your tv in the background? As always, feedback is apreciated.

Re:Show HN: Abstract AI generated art on your TV on Monday March 02, 2020 @04:45PM (#22469402)
Author Here: This website has been shown before see discussions on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22344254 Now I'm introducing an easy way to display AI Abstract art on a idle tv / monitor. You can control the refresh rate and also the images being displayed via query parameters: https://art42.net/tv?itemsCount=1&refreshInterval=360 I'm curious if this is an interesting addition to the Online AI Gallery.
Re:Show HN: A stream of AI-generated art on Monday February 17, 2020 @07:40PM (#22352399)
I've added the option to print now. Feel free to give it a try
Re:Show HN: A stream of AI-generated art on Monday February 17, 2020 @05:40PM (#22351604)
It would be great if it would be :) At this moment is just an art experiment
