Experimenting with various AI models via GitHub Co-Pilot on an extremely niche project to see how far these models have progressed. Used like ~60% of the premium quota to develop the following projects:

website: https://murajah.pages.dev/

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.murajah.we...

Manual audio splitting tool for the above project: audio-splitter-6b3.pages.dev/

I've always been skeptical of AI-generated code. This is my first experiment with AI agents, where the full code base, implementation, debugging, and deployment are done using AI Agents MCPs.

Used VS Code all the way, i.e., all the source codes, including the code to generate the Google Play Store APK. I only reviewed the source code before committing and helped debug by suggesting ideas/algorithms.

Mostly used Claude Haiku 4.5 like 75% of the time, where it failed, switched to the sonnet 4.5 or GPT 5 codex. Interestingly, when debugging, sometimes one model struggled even after numerous iterations/feedback loops, but then the problem was solved instantly as soon as I switched to another model.

The source codes are available here:

https://github.com/wasi0013/Murajah

https://github.com/wasi0013/audio-splitter

Initially, I thought the audio splitting could be done automatically using some AI models from Hugging Face or Whisper. But the audio files have some complex repetitions; the output was miserable.

So, for now, this splitting is done manually using a Web UI (The audio splitting tool splits the large audio files into multiple small audio files, think of it like a long paragraph is split into multiple sentences.)

I will attempt again to automate this splitting task using AI, after drafting a game plan for tackling the challenges. I'm thinking of using energy drops and other similar factors to create segments.

Thanks for sharing my article!

TL;DR: My Obsidian Zettelkasten vault grew beyond 6,000 notes, and the graph view couldn’t handle it. It would freeze whenever I zoomed in to find subtle cluster of notes.

The graph view is valuable for spotting hidden relationships, connecting ideas, and turning scattered notes into something useful. In this article, I share my experience and a workaround using an alternate browser-based visualization tool which is working great so far.

Yes, Outside of US. No, not using Firefox. VPN has little to no effect, when it happens. I even tried their own product cloudflare-wrap. It makes things worse sometime, which is an irony.

Privacy pass needs to be configured/enabled on the website's end or zone, no? I'm somewhat skeptical on using such extensions, I would rather avoid going to the websites unless it's a necessity.

Ask HN: Frequent Cloudflare Captcha/Blocking on various websites?

Most of the websites that are protected with cloudflare are harder to access these days. Sometime they just put me in an infinite loop of JS challenges, or directly blocks the access and doesn't even show the JS/captcha challenges at all. Cloudflare-wrap also doesn't help.It's quite annoying. Anyone else having similar issues?

I don't post much and if I do it's usually about programming and tech.

Oh! I almost forgot it is worth mentioning the creator of Elixir Language "José Valim" also solves these problems and streams them on twitch [0].

Those are helpful to learn different approaches to solving these problems.

Wow, this is so cool! My goal of this year is much more simpler. Hopefully this year, I will solve all of them using a Functional programming Language named Elixir [0]. So far, I'm loving it! The source code is available on GitHub [1]

The repository also contains couple of mix tasks to generate boilerplate codes for each solve. And update the readme automatically on each commit to list the problems that I've solved so far.

I thought it will be easy to implement and also a bit of nostalgia.

I was a 2nd/3rd semester CS student at that time when I saw BF code for the first time on a Competitive programming platform named SPOJ[0]. Later, I found it again on a code golfing website[1].

I thought it would be fun to learn as the language only had 8 commands! I learned it and wrote a tutorial[2] on my native language for my best friend so that we could have some fun together with it :D

Yes, I meant the Advent of Code.

Exploring Elixir & Phoenix. Solved some AOC & exercism problems with it, and wrote a BF compiler. So far, enjoying every bit of it. The language itself is beautiful! Codes are available on my Github[1] account :).

Re:Ask HN: What is your learning plan for 2020? on Monday March 09, 2020 @02:50PM (#22528440)
I'm learning Elixir & Vim this year. I hope to become productive with vim and make it my primary editor by replacing PyCharm, Sublime Text 3 & nano by the end of this year :)

I am also taking notes of all the resources that I'm finding useful and have some plans to utilize my spare time to publish those as a series of blog articles(hopefully). Merely to share my vim & elixir journey on my personal blog[0] :)

Re:Kramnik and AlphaZero: How to Rethink Chess‎ on Tuesday December 17, 2019 @10:26AM (#21814394)
Amazing! I also learned chess with the same rule when I was a kid. I didn't know it was known as Indian chess! Except, in some variations, castling was allowed. Also, another variation allowed two different pawns to move a single square on "Move 1" for both Black and White.

Re:Ask HN: Which startups are fighting Cancer? on Tuesday March 19, 2019 @03:42AM (#19428847)
I'm a Software Engineer and I would also like to help such researches with my skills...

I'm emotionally attached to this fight as my mother died 3 years ago due to adenocarcinoma. That disease not only cost me my mother but also made the whole family financially weak...

Although, I've completed my B. Sc in CSE ( in the same year my mom passed away) After completing my B. Sc I had joined a Startup as a software engineer and worked there for around 9 months. Since then, I've been providing python based web development, data mining and analysis services on various freelance platforms and through my website. With the help of my wife I have also started my own startup which consists of 6 members including us & focused on web application development & Data Mining/ Analysis services.

I have keen interest in cancer research... Hopefully, I will pursue MS/PhD on relevant field when I have enough fund for that so that, I can learn more about it.

My target is to save at least 1
