It looks like a very cool product. Though it's too expensive for a regular guy who treats the cooking as a chore.

Show HN: SendBetter – Dynamic image rendering API (20x cheaper)

https://sendbetter.co/

I built SendBetter, an API for generating dynamic images.The idea: define variables (text, images), design once in our editor, and programmatically render personalized visuals.Why I made it:* Existing tools are expensive ($49 for 1k images → $0.049 per image) * SendBetter starts at $0.002 per image * Better, modern editor * Free 1000 credits on sign up * One-time credit packs for non-frequent...

Do you use the WhatsApp cloud API? Isn't that expensive for a $3/yr price?

`sudo rm -rf /` requires you to be a superuser or provide a password, whereas running `wsl --unregister` does not require elevated privileges.

WSL is a landmine of bad design. I lost all my data once, and that incident made me switch to a Mac.

Here's how you can lose all your data - and Microsoft engineers won’t care: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8992 https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/9830 https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/9049#issuecomment-26...

Not everyone wants to be a CEO. Some people just wanna write some good code and contribute to the world.
Very cool. This can also be used for LLM cost estimation. Basically any cost estimation I suppose. I use cloudflare workers a lot and have a few workers running for a variable amount of time. This could be useful to calculate a ball park figure of my infra cost. Thank you!
Re:How dairy robots are changing work for cows and farmers on Wednesday April 16, 2025 @12:36AM (#43701517)
This is amazing! We need more automation in the world.

But how do they train the cow to stand in line to get milked? Why would a cow patiently wait in line to be milked?

Great article and great website. I love that every external link showed a favicon like image next to it.

Re:How Kerala got rich on Saturday March 29, 2025 @05:55AM (#43514174)
If someone feels threatened by "liberal governance" and "religious diversity", that says more about them than about Kerala.

HN is great because discussions stand on their merit, not on downvotes. You using a throwaway account just to push an agenda proves the point.

Re:How Kerala got rich on Saturday March 29, 2025 @03:33AM (#43513573)
Why is it "controversial" to have a left leaning government and a significant population of Christians or Muslims? Yes, Kerala had early "true" communism (land reforms, nokku kooli) but since then it has just been a left leaning, liberal government. Also answer why you find it controversial for it to have other religions than Hinduism.

Well, we know who this guy is. Something good is said about Kerala and he has to jump in to bring it down.

Maybe because a lot of Malayalis read HN? We are everywhere.

I haven't tried Konva. But have been using fabric js for an image editor I've been working on. I guess they both do a good job.

feynman-brazil-education was an amazing read. Thank you.

I am from India, and I have a similar experience with my education — one that forces you to memorize, never experiment, and never connect the dots. It felt like reading about my own past and realizing just how bad it was.

Is cloudflare tunnels really this free to support thousands of internet requests?

I run a windows server at my office where we connect to it using RDP from multiple locations. If I could instead buy the hardware and use cloudflare tunnels to let my team RDP to it then it would save me a lot of money. I could recoup my hardware cost in less than a year. Would this be possible?

(I wouldn't mind paying for cloudflare tunnels / zero trust. It just should be much smaller than the monthly payment I make to Microsoft)

Re:Llama.cpp supports Vulkan. why doesn't Ollama? on Friday January 31, 2025 @07:45AM (#42887118)
I don't know why one would use Ollama instead of llama.cpp. llama.cpp is so easy to use and the maintainer is pretty famous and active in the community.
