I built a 3D interactive cookbook for 14 traditional Jamaican recipes. The tech:

- Three.js renders a photorealistic 3D flipbook with page-turn physics
- Anthropic Claude powers two distinct AI personas: a grandmother (Miss Vie) and a professional chef (Chef Marcus)
- ElevenLabs handles voice synthesis for cooking guidance
- Stripe for three pricing tiers ($14.99 / $9.99 per month / $39.99 lifetime)
- Remotion generated the marketing videos programmatically from recipe data

The cultural angle: these are recipes with 300+ year histories -- from the Maroons preserving West African smoking techniques (jerk chicken) to banana-leaf-wrapped desserts that predate the Caribbean sugar trade. My grandmother never wrote them down. This preserves them digitally.

Yeah, I agree with you. I’d say they’re not high performers anymore. Best answer I’ve got is find a place where quality matters. If you’re at a body shop it’s not gonna be fun.

I do think some of this is just a hype wave and businesses will learn quality and trust matter. But maybe not - if wealth keeps becoming more concentrated at the top, it’s slop for the plebs.

> Previously skillset was required. These days you plug Ethernet port, turn on Claude Code dangerously skip permissions “write a bash script that is idempotent that configures my Mikrotik CCR, it’s on IP $x on interface $y”. Hotspot on. Cold air blowing on face from overhead coolers. 5 minutes later run script without looking. Everything comes up.

Last time I tried to do anything networking with Claude it set up route preference in opposite order (it thought lower number means more preferred, while it was opposite), fucking it up completely, and then invented config commands that do not exist in BIRD (routing software suite).

Then I looked at 2 different AIs and they both hallucinated same BIRD config commands that were nonexistent. And by same I mean they hallucinated existence of same feature.

> If your teams have to go through IT to provision machine and IT have to go through finance so that spend is reliable, everybody slows down too much. You can’t just spin up next product.

The time of having to order a bunch of servers for new project is long over. We just spun k8s cluster for devs to self-service themselves and the prod clusters just have a bit of accounting shim so adding new namespace have to be assigned to a certain project so we can bill client for it.

Also you're allowed to use cloud services while you have on-prem infrastructure. You get best of both, with some cognition cost involved.

Checkout the README on GitHub! It has an example split.

Honestly the WASM part was pretty straightforward, other than some shader performance issues with Burn + CubeCL , but nothing this project can really change.

The hardest part was the weight porting honestly, since I had to perfectly recreate all of the digital signal processing and model, any deviations from the original PyTorch implementation, and you ended up with subtle loss of signal in the outputs. Added that folder `bench/` to step through the two implementations piece by piece to help debug where they were diverging -- and it's still not a perfect replication of the original after all the tuning!

If you asked a three-year-old a question that they proceeded to completely flub, would you then assume that all humans are incapable of answering questions correctly?

Nobody is arguing for the quality of the search overviews. The models that impress us are several orders of magnitude larger in scale, and are capable of doing things like assisting preeminent computer scientists (the topic of discussion) and mathematicians (https://github.com/teorth/erdosproblems/wiki/AI-contribution...).

I mean that is also the job of existing call handlers.

"We are experiencing an greater than usual call volume, please wait while an agent becomes available" only to be randomly disconnected has been a thing for most of my life.

Everyone seems to be hyping open claw at the moment soon its just going to be LLMs talking to LLMs.... I wonder if they will develop a short hand and start talking in wingdings.

> Had they built a better, more intuitive product, they would get fewer support calls and wouldn't be struggling with costs.

As I mentioned, due to high support costs we worked to improve the UX and we ended up dropping our support costs dramatically.

Doesn't change the fact that everyone who did call cost us more than our profit on the sale.

Customer support is expensive.

Microsoft used to charge for customer support back in the day (90s). The way it worked was that if it was your fault, you paid, if it was a product bug, there was no cost for support. While not a perfect system, it at least aligned everyone's incentives in the right direction. (The huge glaring flaw being it was MS that decided if they were going to charge you for the support call or not...)

Seattle lowered the speed limit on a lot of roads, but didn't do much else beyond add a few "No turn on red" signs.

So now you have a road where the speed limit used to be 35, but is large and straight enough to comfortably go 45, with a speed limit of 25. That causes people to go wildly different speeds and (in my opinion) makes it a lot more dangerous.

Yeah. I recently had to deal with Amazon's robot. Definitely bird-brained but close enough that the right objective was accomplished even though I don't think it ever understood what happened (but woe to the non-native speaker!) The problem is not chatbot customer support, the problem is bird-brained managers that think a system that solves 99% of issues doesn't need a fallback for that 1%.

blaming open ai emps is like blaming current germans for ww2. that sort of collective moral guilt, sometimes even inherited, is simply unfair and stupid. i get that people want to undermine companies' support structure and that their dream is probably to guilt shame open ai's employees into quitting. but it feels like people trying to score points for their own agenda, claim the moral high ground, and label entire groups of people with some sort of guilt by association. its fake. its a game. and they know it.

So there is generally believed to be huge difference in meaning between Ethics and Morality today, because it is a useful tool to have them mean very different things. Among other things I suggest the TV show "The Good Place" as a useful and fun/funny introduction, but there are plenty of great classes to take and other philosophers to read on the subject.

Morality may be objective [1], but Ethics is not just/no longer only the "study" of morality but the subjective practice and personal application of it. Ethics becomes the pragmatic and imperfect framework for working with the belief system of the other's ideals. If you want an infosec analogy, think "security threat model" versus "security posture". Morality is your ideal "security threat model", many people will have shared threat models and a lot of lofty goals and ideas to guard against them in theory. Ethics is your "security posture", what you are actively doing day to day to guard against threats, not just imagined, but the real ones you encounter on those days. People may share the same "security threat model" but nearly every "security posture" is a unique and personal snowflake with differing imperfections (and sometimes unique beauty).

[1] You paraphrased Immanuel Kant, which suggests to me you may have a strong religious background/upbringing coloring at least some of your view here. Unfortunately, this overall question of if there is an objective Morality is a centuries long debate among Philosophers and people have different perspectives across different religions and in different cultures. Immanuel Kant was a strong voice on the side of an absolute and objective Morality, but there are so many other viewpoints. Defining a truly objective Morality is harder than it sounds, even if there are lots of individual moral beliefs many religions and cultures share together. Especially, I believe, as imperfect people working through however many layers of imperfections we may have accumulated in our personal ethical frameworks along the way to having these philosophical discussions. Because Philosophers can't agree on if Morality is objective and/or absolute or neither, it becomes useful to separate the discussion of the ideal state (Morality) and the subjective practices (Ethics) as separate things.

I guess I am interesting in discussing the much narrower question. And I can see you are not yet sick of replying to me :P, so I'd like to ask your view ImPostingOnHN -- do you feel that the text of Carr's request seems on-net good? If not, what is it in the text that you object to? To be clear, I actually do find one line objectionable (and maybe you'll show me others). He calls on broadcasters to air "patriotic, pro-America content". I feel 'patriotic' is just on the line of making me uncomfortable, and 'pro-America' slightly crosses over it. I think the right to criticize the powers-that-be is quintessentially American, and asking for explicit pro-America content betrays that. But I can also see ways that both of these could be interpreted in a positive-for-humanity way, even though they don't naturally jump out to me in that way.

I hadn't really noticed anything like this until you pointed it out. My main use for Kagi is to pin Wikipedia results... I just tried searching for "nanoclaw" on Kagi (I'm in the UK so results biased towards there) and got:

1. nanoclaw[dot]net (!)

2. github.com/qwibitai/nanoclaw which looks like a ripoff?

3. Three videos, at least one of which looks like slop with crypto ads

4. github.com/gavrielc/nanoclaw which I presume is the real repo judging from the name?

5. Three "interesting finds" the top one of which is nanoclaw.dev, but with the title "Don't trust AI agents" because it's a blog post from that site

6. A fork of the qwibitai/nanoclaw repo

There seem to be two different philosophies about early monetization.

One argues that you should start charging as soon as possible. Even getting a single paying user for a few dollars is considered a meaningful signal.

The other approach is to first get exposure, gather feedback from real users, and only then plan monetization more carefully.

I tend to lean toward the latter.

If you're currently running a product for free, I’d be curious to hear about it.
What is the product, why are you keeping it free for now, and what are your plans for monetization (when/how)?

Any modern image generator can handle precise composition, color, texture, etc details in the initial prompt, and handle changes just as well. Authorship is viable. Early Stable Diffusion set a lot of weird expectations that just aren't the standard now.

Try this on Gemini or ChatGPT: "Give me a perfect black void as a base. Place a single perfect blue circle in the middle."

If the prompt is precise enough and the output matches it, then I don't see how that's anything other than authorship. I would be surprised if the law doesn't land this way on it at the end.

Part time CRDT researcher here. I think CRDTs would work great for google docs. Google docs has a problem where if too many people open the document at the same time, it needs to lock the document. I assume this is because the document is "owned" by a single computer. Or they use DB-transactional ordering on edits.

If I implemented google docs today, I'd use a CRDT between all the servers. This would let you have multi-master server scaling, and everything on the server side would be lock-free.

Between the server and the client, CRDTs would be fine. With eg-walker, you can just send the current document state to the user with no history (until its actually needed). In eg-walker, you can merge any remote change so long as you have history going back to a common fork point. If merges happen and the client is missing history, just have them fetch the server for historical data.

Alternately, you can bridge from a CRDT to OT for the client/server comms. The client side code is a bit simpler that way, but clients may need server affinity - which would complicate your server setup.
Show HN: Finqual – Free SEC-based API for fundamentals, insider and 13F data
by myztika | 2026-03-03 23:51:23+00:00
Hi guys,

I’ve been building investing tools for myself and kept running into the same issue:

Most free financial APIs give you price data and some fundamentals, but insider transactions and 13F filings are either delayed or locked behind relatively expensive paid tiers.

What bothered me more was that a lot of data isn’t actually sourced cleanly it’s scraped or inconsistently structured.

So I ended up building my own API called finqual.app

A few things that might be relevant here:

Data is pulled directly from SEC filings

Updated as soon as filings are published

Financial statements, insider transactions, and 13F filings included

Data is normalized and structured (so you don’t have to parse raw SEC filings)

100 free API calls/day

No credit card required

It’s basically structured SEC data without having to deal with EDGAR formatting yourself.

If anyone here is building dashboards, screeners, or running their own fundamental analysis, happy to answer questions or get feedback.

It seems like sound testing methodology to identify important theorems related to the code, prove them, and then verify the proof.

Verification gets sold as "bulletproof" but I'm skeptical for a couple reasons:

- How do you establish the relationship between the code and the theorem? Lean theorem can be applied to zlib implemented in Lean, what if you want to check zlib implemented in a normal programming language like C, JS, Zig, or whatever?

- How do you know the key properties mean what you think they mean? E.g. the theorem says "ZlibDecode.decompressSingle (ZlibEncode.compress data level) = .ok data" but it feels like it would be very easy to accidentally prove ∃ x s.t. decompress(compress(x)) == x while thinking you proved ∀ x, decompress(compress(x)) == x.

I've tried Lean and Coq and...I don't really like them. The proofs use specialized programming languages. And they seem deliberately designed to require you to use a context explorer to have any hope of understanding the proof at all. OTOH a normal unit test is written in a general purpose programming language (usually the same one as the program being tested), I'm much more comfortable checking that a Claude-written unit test does what I think it's doing than a Claude-written Lean proof of correctness.

You’re not crazy — most “AI editing” tools stop at trims/captions and don’t really close the loop on distribution.

I’m aiagentho — I build automation systems for founders. I’ve been running a workflow that takes long-form → pulls short clips + adds captions + schedules/posts to Shorts/TikTok/Reels so it actually ships consistently.

If you want, reply “clip” and I’ll DM a quick demo + the exact workflow.

This is the thing that drives me crazy. Most of these phone calls should just be emails; I can usually stand to wait a week or two for the company to get back to me. General support funnels like support@example.com have been dead for most consumer-facing technologies for close to a decade at this point. I’m not installing an app for every company I’m forced to interact with when there are already existing, universal technologies available that they could implement if they just priced their products appropriately.

When boxes get decommissioned it's generally the entire thing. So you can pick up used power supplies as well. Or just buy new because even if it isn't ATX it's still a widely produced item that's used across multiple product lines.

The troublesome hardware is the stuff with custom backplanes and multiple daughterboards each hosting a node. Also AMD CPUs that lock themselves to a single motherboard.

No nation state actor is going to waste a 0day on a random nobody. Even the recent Notepad++ exploit was only used against specific political targets. Any actor smart enough to be able to have an arsenal of 0days at their disposal is also smart enough to use them only where they are worthwhile because they will only get to do it once.

Believing you are more under threat from sophisticated government hackers rather than unsecured IOT devices, unvetted npm packages or hijacked download links is just LARPing for people who want to sound more important than they actually are IMO.

The MRFF, which seems to be above board and its existence widely known by military personnel, is quoted directly in the article as having received the complaints as described. An article in The Guardian [1] tells the same story, but adds another MRFF quote: “Anytime Israel or the US is involved in the Middle East, we get this stuff about Christian nationalists who’ve taken over our government, and certainly our US military,” Mikey Weinstein, MRFF’s president, who is an air force veteran, told the Guardian.

“Military members are not really able to stand up for themselves, because your military superior is not your shift manager at Starbucks,”

This doesn't really confirm or debunk, but it's surely a solid nudge towards confirmation.

Yes. I would. Trump is a uniquely dangerous president with uniquely unrestrained power.

I'll continue to write my representatives, publicly protest, boycott businesses and employers, and use all other legal levers of power that I can. My kids future cannot afford to let these crimes continue unchecked.

A large portion of our lives is spent at the office, with people we may not otherwise interact with. Former coworkers sharing their perspectives helped sow the seeds of my change in politics, both on individual issues and worldview.

This assumes everything about current capabilities stay static, and it wasn't long ago before LLMs couldn't do math. Many were predicting the genAI hype had peaked this time last year.

If you want it to be a question of economics, I think the answer is in whether this approach is more economical than the alternative, which is having people run this substrate. There's a lot of enthusiasm here and you can't deny there has been progress.

I wouldn't be so quick to doubt. It costs nothing to be optimistic.

CSRs are abused by call center managers far more often than they are by the people on the other end of the phone line. The endless push for "better" metrics, the terrible pay, the dehumanizing scripts, bad (or zero) training, optimizing to make every employee interchangeable and expendable, unforgiving attendance policies, treating workers like children, etc. Call centers are brutal environments and the reason churn is often so high has very little to do with abuse from the people calling for help. In fact, the last two call centers I had any insight into (to their credit) had strict policies about not taking abuse from customers and would flag abusive customer's accounts.

I'm happy that LLMs are encouraging people to add discoverable APIs to their products. Do you think you can make the endpoints public, so they can be used for automation without the LLM in the way?

If you need an LLM spin to convince management, maybe you can say something about "bring your own agent" and "openclaw", or something else along those lines?

It's a somewhat annoying to me as well, but I'm now able to read it and take the valuable content without getting hung up on those repetitive phrases. It also forces me to not simply copy/paste. I read the LLM output, think about it, comprehend it in my own voice internally, and then I write what I want/need by hand, so it ultimately comes out in my own style and I don't propagate the LLM output onto others needlessly.
