I've been using GitHub Gists for years to share code, notes, and docs. They're incredibly useful but look pretty ugly.

I built gists.sh to fix that. Take any gist URL, replace gist.github.com with gists.sh, and get a beautiful version.

It renders each file type properly: Markdown with great typography, GFM alerts, table of contents, etc. Code with Shiki highlighting. JSON and GeoJSON as collapsible trees. CSV/TSV as sortable, searchable tables. YAML as navigable trees. ICS files as calendar event cards. Multi-file gists get tabs with a Pretty/Raw toggle.

You can customize with URL params (?theme=dark, ?noheader, ?nofooter, ?mono) and combine them.

I'm a designer as well, and I've just grown frustrated with gists looking this bad. gist.io [1] tried to fix this back in 2012 but only handled Markdown and has been dead for years.

There's also a raw content API (/api/raw/{id}) with proper Content-Type headers, useful for scripting or piping gist content into other tools.

My favorite use case right now: I often ask coding agents or my OpenClaw to create gists to share notes, code, or reports with me. So I built this to work well with agents too (there's a skill as well), so you can get the pretty gist version directly when you ask for one.

No tracking, no sign-up, no data stored. Secret gists are noindex'd. Open source: https://github.com/linuz90/gists.sh

The zero bound on nominal interest rates is not relevant today. (It may be relevant in a deflationary environment where debt or 'safe assets' are essentially needed as a liquidity instrument akin to money, but that all gets hoovered up when interest rates rise.) The U.S. government is paying a whole lot of interest on its national debt bonds not because of a formal constraint, but rather because its bonds would go unsold otherwise, it would be unable to roll over the existing bonds as they expire, and the whole house of cards would collapse. IOW, it's the chickens coming home to roost, and the American taxpayer is paying for it. The alternative is to inflate the debt away by debasing the currency, which is even worse.

One challenge many indie developers face is finding real people to test their projects before launch.

Developers often spend weeks or months building something, but when it comes time to test it with real users, the options are limited.

Friends and family rarely provide detailed feedback, and it can be difficult to reach people who genuinely enjoy testing early-stage products. At the same time, many people enjoy discovering and testing new apps, tools, and side projects, but there isn’t really a dedicated place connecting them with indie developers.

Because of this gap, IndieDevShare is being developed.

The goal is to create a platform where:

• Indie developers can share their projects
• testers can discover and try new tools early
• developers receive useful feedback before launch
• testers can be rewarded for their involvement

Right now, the platform is in early development, and a landing page has been set up for anyone interested in joining the early community.

People who join the mailing list will be among the first to know when the platform launches and will have the chance to participate as early developers or testers.
Indie
You can check it out here: https://www.indiedevshare.com/

We are curious to hear from other developers: How do you currently find people to test your projects before launching?

> Who is "they" here?

Sorry, I thought it was clear from the context that these are widely-held, American right-wing opinions that I happen to agree with.

> How is it objectively correct that women should, on average, have children earlier?

There are a few specific birth defects that are more common in younger mothers but most become much more common as the mother ages, and the overall risk of complication & death increases with maternal age.

> Having been raised by my grandparents, I personally believe the only secret for success is to show up for children, and love them and provide them a stable environment to thrive in. Everything else is just window dressing.

That’s a great sentiment but of little practical use in deciding policy.

I don’t understand the approach

> TADA takes a different path. Instead of compressing audio into fewer fixed-rate frames of discrete audio tokens, we align audio representations directly to text tokens — one continuous acoustic vector per text token. This creates a single, synchronized stream where text and speech move in lockstep through the language model.

So basically just concatenating the audio vectors without compression or discretization?

I haven’t read the full paper yet (I know, I should before commenting), but this explanation puzzles me.

Great question!

I actually use GUI Emacs more often than terminal Emacs. But when I'm deep in a CLI-centric workflow, deploying over SSH, running commands, maybe taking notes, it's much more convenient to stay in the terminal. And when I need to glance at an image, a screenshot or a PDF in that context, it's nice not to have to leave.
I started this purely out of curiosity, just wanted to see how far the Kitty graphics protocol could go in Emacs. When I realized you could get surprisingly far with zero dependencies, I decided to build it out properly for the Emacs community rather than just for myself.

Displaying images in terminal Emacs was considered basically impossible for a long time. Whenever new users coming from other TUI editors or terminal-centric workflows asked about it, the answer was always "just use GUI Emacs". That's a valid answer, but it's nice to finally have an alternative.

> If his ideas had real substance, we would have seen substantial results by now

This is naive. Like saying if backprop had any real substance, it would have had results within 10 years of its publication in 1989

> Your chronological sequence is interesting, but it refers to a time when the number of researchers and the amount of compute available were a tiny fraction of what they are today.

Again. Those resources are important. But one resource being ignored is time. Try baking a turkey at 300 for 4 hours veruss at 900 for 1 hour and see how edible each one is

> it's a repeat of Vietnam

I think this is a bizarre comparison. The people of Vietnam hated the French colonial occupation, and most of them despised the American-backed regime as well. They were fighting a 20-year-long anti-colonial war for independence (something that China, by the way, does not want any of the people they've colonized to emulate).

On the contrary, there's every indication that the people of Iran, as well as Venezuela, legitimately hate their repressive regimes and want nothing more than a chance to overthrow them. This isn't imposing regime change on some country that had never thought of it. It's clearing the path for the people of that country to execute regime change for themselves.

In that sense, our role here is quite a lot more like the Soviets in Vietnam, than America in Vietnam, or of either country in Afghanistan. We're not in the position of needing to prop up a puppet regime or find ethnic groups or exogenous actors. All we really need to do is target the existing oppressors.

>> if the US decides to unilaterally stop bombing Iran, it leaves Israel open to the Iranians, which is something Israel and AIPAC won't let the US do.

Stop with the AIPAC > blaming Israel for getting America into this. Israel did great work taking out Iran's defenses and gaining air superiority in the previous 12-day war, and it was only held back from continuing by the US - temporarily losing the total control it held. Furthermore, in no way is Israel going to be open to attack after this, whether or not the US remains involved.

Consider what happens if this war does succeed in weakening the Iranian regime to the point where the people can come back into the street and overthrow it: Russia loses its drone and missile manufacturer, the West has a bargaining chip in oil against China's control of rare earths, and conceivably there is a broad peaceful order in the Middle East between Sunnis, Shia and Jews, all relatively Western-facing, potentially progressive and aligned with the US and Europe. Would that be a terrible outcome?

Mm. Reminds me of something I saw a while back, can't remember enough to search for it though.

During the Cold War, there was an easy "US good, USSR bad" pattern for the world to be inspired by, but with the fall of the Soviet Union, the rest of the world no longer needs to (or even can if it wanted to) rally around a call of "hey, at least we're not the USSR".

Now we don't have the USSR in the picture, what does the USA offer? Much of the rhetoric I see from it these days is "We're not China", and true, you're not, but when we're looking in from the outside there's a loss of scale and rightly or wrongly the ICE detention camps and exporting of people to CECOT, looks much the same as Uighurs being put in Xinjiang internment camps.

Meanwhile, increasing fractions of my hardware, from injection moulded widgets to laser welding kits, from 3D printers and PV to computers and smartphones, is made by Chinese firms, so China looks increasingly like the place where stuff actually happens, and conversely the USA looks increasingly like the place where grand visions are pronounced only to fail from lack of awareness of how to engineer anything or what customers really benefit from (e.g. Juicero, Metaverse, Cybertruck).

I prefer facial recognition. Probably good that there isn't a popular face-spoofer app, since it would put attention to the efficiency of these verifications.

Credit card info is a bad solution. In many countries they still are rare and it would very likely exclude as much adults as children.

The real answer is that while we should expect children to be online, it is the responsibility of the parents to moderate their usage. Add a standard header to every http request to support filter solutions. That is the only viable solution that is of a technical nature.

The whole ZKP idea is futile, no model works if you also have connection information, which states tend to save too.

Anonymous internet usage is pretty awesome. For adults and kids for that matter. And that doesn't change because there are also bad advertisers that practically can identify and track you. If you want to protect kids, have those be imprisoned first. Strong opinion, I know, but also the correct one.

So l asked Replit to generate React slides, add text on each slide (video caption), add controls and voice for each slide.

Prompt → slides → voice → done.

Boom. Demo video ready.

Quite a lot of popular, widely deployed firewalls are based upon FreeBSD.

And for them it's a problem that miniPCs well suited for firewall use have been been coming out (for a while now) using this chipset. Which FreeBSD didn't support.

So for those projects, this may provide an avenue of hope or future potential. ;)

Dunno man, when the “core gameplay loop” gets interrupted every 2 minutes with “do you want to pay to win?” Banners and 50% of the screen is covered in ads and trap buttons that pop up a purchase dialog when you press them accidentally (a given on mobile with touch controls), it’s fairly obvious the gameplay loop is the last thing in the developers mind.

"Food security is much higher now than at any other time in the past", huh?

18 million households in the U.S. were food insecure in 2024.

And that's from 2024. How much was oil then?

> I think the bigger question is does RISC-V need to be fast? Who wants to make it fast?

Honestly, the initial reaction is it sounds like cope, and I know this because I've been saying it for ages to angry reactions. RISC-V looks for all the world like it is designed for competing with the 32 bit Arm ecosystem but that the designers didn't, and still don't, understand what 64 bit Arm is about.

Secondly, it's been necessary to claim such things are forever on the way in order to maintain hype and get software support. Without it you wouldn't see nearly so much Linux buildchain work. (See the open source SuperH implementations for what happens if you admit you don't go for high performance).

Finally though, as process nodes get smaller you can afford to put much more complex blocks in the same area, which can then burst through a series of operations and power off again, many times a second. (Edit to add: of course you know that, but it's still counter intuitive the extent to which it changes things over time. People have things like floating point support in places that not too long ago would have been completely minimalist, and there are some really extreme examples around).

> I'll add that there are companies that COULD make a fast RISC-V implementation.

Again, there is no proof of this until it actually happens. When Qualcomm were trying they wanted to change the spec of RISC-V, and I strongly suspect that is actually necessary.

Brains are not doing linear algebra, and they don't follow a concise algorithm.

What LLM do is even farther away from what neural nets do, and even there - artificial neurons are inspired by but not reimplementing biological neurons.

You can understand human thought in terms of LLMs, but that is just a simile, like understanding physical reality in terms of computers or clockworks.

Google has enough money, still has positive revenue and still invests in AI + Deepmind.

Google doesn't need to do anything to make any other numbers work.

Gemini 3.1 pro is really good; Meta just signed a deal with Google for their TPUs.

Nano Banana 2 Pro is alsy very good.

OpenAI numbers might not add up, Antrophic might burn through cash, but not google.

And it doesn't matter anyway because as long as google can afford it, Microsoft HAS TO do this too and Microsoft also can afford it. The same with Amazon.

Microsoft invests in OpenAI and Amazon invests in Antrophic.

>The trouble is that the US has lost the plot, there's no value or vision to defend, it hollowed itself out with hyperfinancialisation since the 80s, the consequence is that there's no rallying inspirational point anymore. It doesn't have a "hook" to attach its vision of the future, I have no idea what's the vision of the USA for the future except for "generating wealth".

I'm not entirely sure I buy this. Everything you said feels true, and it's happening in the moment. But I think you're missing the forest for the trees. The way you wrote "hyperfinancialisation" makes me think you are European (German?)

I'd imagine a vision for the country would be explained at places like World Expo right? In 2025 their booth (developed during Biden years even though it launched during Trump) gave a "semi" okay idea of where the country is placing its vision. Was it expressed well at the Expo? Not entirely sure, but it was there.

Historically, they didn't need to really do much at these Expos because who doesn't know the U.S.? And who doesn't know what the country is about? But I guess with the increasing decline of the U.S., they now have to 'advertise' themselves and explain to people what the underlying vision is.

In the end, the underlying theme seems to be "optimistic collaboration led by American innovation". Yeah I know its hard to picture this in the moment after everything that has happened in the last year but as the Biden years ended this was the thinking among government officials.

[1]:https://youtu.be/NVCcdeYMzpU?t=183

Watching this video a year later, it just seems so comical that this whole vision of "collaborative innovation": of the future being a collaborative project, with America wanting to lead it but not alone, and the slogan 'Imagine what we could create together' just seems comical after everything that's occurred in the last year. I guess it remains to be seen if this vision will hold once Trump is out of office.

It's been a non-issue for us at tvScientific. Once or twice a year you settle in for a mass refactor, and when that's done you move on with your day.

Packages do fall behind. We only use a couple, so it's pretty easy to point to an internal fork while we wait for upstream to update or to accept our updates. That'd probably be a pain point if you were using a lot of them.

Not everyone knows who geohot is and even if they do they may not see the url handle. They may (like me) think why is a glorified shower thought tweet on top of HN.

They may not know that this dude was an anti-masker (with nuance) for example. This could really make them decide not to even spend too much time thinking about the passage which in theory is profound for 10 seconds but no further.

As much as ad hominem attacks are not great approaches, the one scenario I feel it's justified is in cases like this.

GPU encoding is fast, but usually it produces poorer quality results because it avoids trying paths that are hard to do quickly on the GPU.

If you want to optimise, try different encoders (sounds like you've already done some of this) and lots of different settings - it'll involve a lot of tuning if you want to figure out the right balance for your particular media between quality/speed/size, while also making sure that your machine hurts as much as possible.

Driveby 2c as a video industry person: don't retranscode your media unless you've got them in a really space inefficient codec and you're seriously hurting for space. You'll burn a lot of power retranscoding, are you actually saving useful $$$ of storage in exchange for that spend? Storage is cheap, and there's always a better codec coming along you could retranscode into and save some more space. It's a vicious cycle: each generation has to encode the artifacts from the previous generations.

They don't, and as a result most don't get much if any.

For them to survive, they have to have got returns from somewhere - maybe welfare, inheritance, a day job. Someone has to have worried about the returns so they can be free from thinking about it.

And if you don't worry about returns, you will let someone extract it ruthlessly from you, that you contribute millions of value to a company that gives you nothing back. This may be fine to you at some level, but many of the people who you allow to exploit you use the resources they gain as leverage to further their selfish ends, like a certain richest man in the world who helped a certain politician buy an election at the most powerful country in the world.

To me, the speech sounds impressively expressive, but there is something off about the audio quality that I can't quite put my finger on.

The "Anger Speech" has an obvious lisp (Maybe a homage to Elmer Fudd?). But I hear a similar, but more subtle, speech impediment in the "Adoration Speech". The "Fearful Speech" might have a slight warble to it. And the "Long Speech" is difficult to evaluate because the speaker has vocal fry to an extent that I find annoying.

The image referencing "Haussystem Didot" is an example of a catalog not containing the Angzarr symbol in question.

I did not find any evidence for earlier examples in any of the very few scans I looked at, nor does a search through the Google Books scans give any indication for words that seem related to the concept.

This would be such a fantastic find! Could you point out a specific example?

Having worked in food service, I learned that restaurants are low-margin businesses that will cut every corner they can. Paying to have their grease taken care of when there's a convenient drain out back is a non-starter. It wouldn't be surprising if they also never cleaned their ventilation hoods or the grease trap in the drains. When you see a mention of a restaurant fire (that isn't arson), it's likely because of dirty hoods.

I've confidently picked 8+blue and is now trying to understand why I personally did that. I think that maybe the text of the puzzle is not quite unambiguous. The question states "test a card" followed by "which cards", so this is what my brain immediately starts to check - every card one by one. Do I need to test "3"? No, not even. Do I need to test "8"? yes. Do I need to test "blue"? Yes, because I need to test "a card" to fit the criteria. And lastly "red" card also immediately fails verification of a "a card" fitting that criteria.

I think a corrected question should clarify in any obvious way that we are verifying not "a card" but "a rule" applicable to all cards. So a needs to be replaced with all or any, and mention of rule or pattern needs to be added.

This resonates with me so much. I’m also building a project right now where I fed my 10-year-old C code into an LLM to reincarnate it as a modern Flutter app.

Like you, I couldn’t have done it without the AI "doing the heavy lifting." The way you used Phaser 3 to bring those 2D aesthetics to the browser is inspiring. It’s amazing how AI is now allowing us to bridge the gap between our nostalgia and modern tech. Great work!

This. First, the employer has to worry about the returns from which they draw some money to pay you. And for you to even get paid for doing a job, the company has to fear that you won't do it if you don't get paid - in most cases, it's not from the good of heart, but an implicit or explicit threat made by you or on your behalf by other people.
