Show HN: Find right tools for your every project
So, I recently developed an webapp where you can find tools for your different tasks with the help of AI. For instance, if you want a website for designing logos, you can search something like this "website for designing logos" or maybe you want a tool for increasing your typing speed, then you can search "tool that can help me in increasing my typing speed". You just have to describe what you want and this webapp will provide you with that tool.

You can check it out here: findtool.vercel.app

Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences with the app
I like it; too much stuff to write yourself with websockets.
If only they were around when my old hangout, www.wota.com, was alive :(
Its not that they want to be spoon fed, that is the ever decreasing bandwidth available as info and complexity in environment keeps exploding.

As the saying goes "glue people" just need to know a little bit more about coding than the sales guy, and a little more sales than the coder, little more accounting than the lawyer and a little more law than the accountant etc etc.
TIL that there are variations. I'd love to watch the Swiss version too see how different the gags are from take to take.

> Reviewers work for free.

If journals were operating on a shoestring budget, I might be able to understand why academics are expected to do peer review for free. As it is, it makes no sense whatsoever. Elsevier pulls down huge amounts of money and still manages to command free labor.
No confusion here. Node.js is an entire ecosystem, and npm is a child of that mess. It is absolutely famous for the massive gobs of absolutely junk it pulls in to satisfy dependencies a frontend dev could manage with 4 lines of native js.

You may rail on about how npm != node, but everyone considers npm to be 'node package manager', no matter what the initialism actually stands for.
Interesting project, I've often looked for something like this but haven't found anything that does the job. I'm on a mac and can't wait to try this out. Can I ask what you're using adblock-rs for?
Once the connection is upgraded, you loose all metadata included in the HTTP headers (because it’s not HTTP) and all protections relying on it.
Also CORS and SOP can be bypassed: https://dev.to/pssingh21/websockets-bypassing-sop-cors-5ajm

Even very experienced teams make mistake with this kind of things. See for instance, this Kubernetes vulnerability: https://goteleport.com/blog/kubernetes-websocket-upgrade-sec...

Of course you can reimplement everything by hand (and you must if you use WebSockets), but with SSE/Mercure you don't have to because it's plain old HTTP.
Honey by withholding and hiding better coupon codes submitted by users, was betraying the service they marketed for users and were harming them with higher prices.
It’s about the same as the desktop app. It doesn’t feel like a web app. The desktop app is better because it doesn’t feel out of place.

It’s not a bad UI/UX IMO, but it can take some getting used to. For the notifications I have to check several options such as “silence @everyone and @here”. Sometimes I find the updates annoying. But it’s among the best chat UIs I’ve tried.
Treating it as continuous is a property of the training algorithm, but there are networks that use binary values.

Metallij: Transform your keyboard into a tool of auditory awesomeness
I've seen this claim multiple times and I don't believe it. It seems to be based on a single study where researchers sampled one small part of the ocean and then extrapolated wildly.

Multiple sources also claim that there are around 3 trillion fish in the world in total. How exactly do you reconcile that?
I’m sure people thought the same thing back when fully automatic weapons were first invented. “Sure gosh but who is ever going to tow around a Gatling gun with them?”

Nuclear weapons are an intentionally-absurd example to force a concession that there obviously must be limits. Frequently people will even acknowledge that the 2A probably doesn’t cover them (or at least oughtn’t be interpreted in a way that it does). From there it’s generally pretty easy to walk reasonable people backward towards MANPADs, and then further on down to things that aren’t quite so difficult to acquire.
I will not give into the quantum stuff, as it seems to me a misuse of physical models intended for another purpose.

> Is it possible for a view of the world in which humans aren’t at the center, but still flourish.

There are non-dualistic philosophical approaches to modeling reality where mind is the first-class citizen (as opposed to being explained away as an illusion, like materialistic monism mostly does). I assume such aporoach does not need to make humans the center of the universe, but intuitively it seems it should automatically put more emphasis on well-being.
Psychology is trying to be that science, but it's hard to call it that at this point. It's more like a craft at this point, trying to masquerade as a science. But hopefully in time it will develop into a true study of this type of mental phenomenon.

And just to be clear, I'm strictly referring to things like meditation as a way to change your own mindset, not any of the silly concepts that assume the mind is somehow able to move atoms around without emitting radiation.
Of course they are paid to say that, the question is how far are they willing to go. I'm not talking about some shitty clickbait channels but ones like Steve Mould, whom I generally trust not to straight up lie and would only accept sponsors whose product they believe in at least a little bit.
Eliminating journals as a corporate monopoly doesn't eliminate peer review. For example, it should be easy to show the number of citations and even their specific context in other articles on the arxiv-like site. For example, if I like some app/library implementation on github, I look at their dependencies (a citation in a sense) to discover things to try.

Curated lists can also exist on the site. Look at awesome* repos on github eg https://github.com/vinta/awesome-python

Obviously, some lists can be better than the others. Usual social mechanics is adequate here.
Yes they do, XBox and Surface devices.
> but it hurts even more when exercising (back hurts, RSIs, etc)

I think that's where I am at right now. I have always been exercising to some extent. But it feels like the older I get the less one kind of exercise focusing on some set of physical and physiological aspects transfers to another set. Meaning, to go biking a lot, doesn't mean you can run.

> strengthening my ankles and feet before I could run because they were so atrophied.

Even after years of semi-regular weighted calf raises and yoga I just recently noticed that I could barely do a few hundred rope skips cause of my feet. 15 years ago I remember cardiovascular obstacles and the usual DOMS but I don't remember that my feet hurt.

---

Currently my lower back / sciatica is giving me serious issues. I think I got it from some overexertion due to prolonged pelvic motion ... so that's yet another physical department to keep in mind.
Dokku uses heroku buildpacks by default and supports cloud native buildpacks by changing the builder to pack via builder:set.
> That's kind of the point. The vast majority of users aren't going to have their laptop stolen at all, if they do it will 99% of the time be by someone who only wants to wipe it and fence it, and attempts to access data are most likely to be by unsophisticated family members who would be defeated by a simple password without any TPM.

True, any preboot password method (even fully software) will be sufficient to prevent data exposure when a laptop is stolen.

The whole TPM + secure boot thing is more to prevent evil maid attacks where a laptop is messed with (eg installing a bootloader that intercepts the password) and then placing it back in the user's possession so they can be tricked into entering the password.

That whole scenario is extremely far-fetched for home users. Laptops get stolen but then they're gone.

How does JSX "directly" render to HTML? Have you compared the codebase of the React to EJS? EJS is much more direct. And the logic is also Javascript.

What do you mean by "no mapping to Javascript"? It is not as if React is part of the Browser API.
Pretty decent logistics channel, perhaps a tad too oversimplified imo

It’s rational to use easy to measure points.

Your example of the Egyptians is also easy to measure.

I guess at that point mythology kicks in. Could explain why the winter solstice is often used: the dark timed are over, the days get brighter.

I also discovered a few years ago that OEM licenses can't be transferred to another device.
I agree that LLMs can be highly valuable when used appropriately. For me, their strengths lie primarily in semantic search (e.g., Perplexity.ai), rewriting and discussing overall code architecture. However, they often prove unreliable in specialized knowledge domains. If a user isn’t skilled in initializing and following up with effective prompts or discerning the usefulness from the responses, interactions can be hit-or-miss.

The robustness of LLMs—like the original ChatGPT or GPT-3.5—is still far from a level where domain novices can rely on them with confidence. This might change as models incorporate more first-order data (e.g., direct observations in physics, embodiment) and improve in causal reasoning and deductive logic.

I find it crucial to have critical voices like Gary Marcus to counterbalance the overwhelming hype perpetuated by social media enthusiasts and corporate PR—much of which the media tends to echo uncritically.

One of Marcus's demands is the need for a more neuro-symbolic approach to advance AI. Progress can’t come solely from "scaling up" models.
And it seems like he's right: All major ML companies seem to shift towards search-based algorithms (e.g., Q*) combined with reinforcement learning during inference time to explore the problem space, moving beyond mere "next-token prediction" training.
I wonder if ASCII art could be improved by UNICODE art due to many more shapes available.
The bugs coming from porting from X86 to ARM may be related to memory order. ARM has weaker memory order than X86. You may need to add memory barriers or synchronization. Of course there are other causes.
My take:

- The UI is over bloated and bugged, sometimes things scroll, sometimes they don't, sometimes you have to refresh the page. You cannot easily change the UI as lots of CSS parts have hard coded fixed sizes.

- The settings are all over the place, from py files in ~/.jupyter to ini files to auto generated command line parameters.

- The overall architecture is monolithic and hard to break down, jupyter proxy is a good example of the hacks you have to go to to reuse parts of jupyter

- The front end technology (Lumino) is ad hoc and cannot be reused, I had to write my own react components basically reimplementing the whole protocol, come on its 2025.

- The whole automation around nbconvert is error prone and fragile
Most administrators have no idea or no desire to correctly configure Cloudflare, so they just slap it on the whole site by default and block all the legitimate access to e.g. rss feeds.
Same feeling, I’m usually a Go developer but all my side projects are in Rails. It’s just fun to work with and see how fast things are up and running. Using gorails.com and Copilot helped a lot too.
The phenomena I was talking about, and that indeed would fall into the category of psychology, are the ones that are purely physical - poorly understood bio-psycho-social phenomena like meditation as a way to control your own mind and body (in biologically limited ways, such as being able to lower your pulse slightly, not fantasies like mending broken bones with the power of will), or the ability to influence others by talking to them.

The other parts of "magic", such as the ability to view things that someone else is viewing without emitting or receiving electromagnetic waves are clearly fantasies, not in the purview of any science.
How do you get the server-side data to client-side Javascript? For example an array of strings or an object.

Dutch viditel had porn; stories with 'graphics' and BBSs I used had also porn stories with ascii art. It was what I could get with a 300 baud modem. At 9600 baud, I could download grainy msx 2 porn images finally. There were even 'movies' (usually 2 images swapping over)!
In case of falling: If you dont pass out from the impact or get picked up in the wash then you need to hold your breath for around 2 minutes in order for a chance at rescue. If a second wave comes in before rescue, then youre likely done.
I myself just get to drink some water. If its possible I would highly recommend getting some sunlight right at the start of your day and what also helped me in the past (I know, sounds a bit strange) is to just tidy up your bed.
The law is amazingly difficult to actually enforce against someone who simply will not comply. If everything goes to a potential finding of contempt it takes ages to win by inches. This is what I ended up doing. Literally took 2+ years.

I “won” in the end — the board fired him and appointed me CEO - but it destroyed the company.

And yes, I saw it coming, but was hoping I could control him until we found revenue and the pressure came off. This was illogical because people like that cannot find revenue.
For a fully fledged web app that all the major code notebooks tend to be, Electron makes a lot of sense. The bundled webviews built into OSes tend to be weak and outdated compared to the Chromium build that comes with Electron.

It's why Jupyter fits pretty well into VSCode/VSCodium.

> 5. Rendering your app

> Electron uses Chromium under the hood so your user sees the same on Windows, Linux and macOS. Tauri on the other hand uses the system webview: Edge Webview2 (Chromium) on Windows, WebKitGTK on Linux and WebKit on macOS. Now here comes the bad part, if you are a web developer you know that Safari (Based on WebKit) is always behind a step from every web browser. Just check out Can I Use. There is always a bug that you are not seeing from Chrome, only your dear Safari users. The same issues exists in Tauri, and you can't do anything against it, you have include polyfills. The winner has to be Electron here.

I spent 3 months implementing a paper once. Finally, I got to the point where I understood the paper probably better than the author. It was an extremely complicated paper (homomorphic encryption). At this point, I realized that it doesn't work. There was nothing about it that would ever work, and it wasn't for lack of understanding. I emailed the author asking to clarify some specific things in the paper, they never responded.

In theory, the paper could work, but it would be incredibly weak (the key turned out to be either 1 or 0 -- a single bit).
Has there been progress towards making RWKV multimodal? Can be use projector layers to send images to RWKV?
the Virtual terminal[1] from Asciinema[2] is what I use but that is a lot more difficult than just including a video of it. I got CMS from a very expensive CMS to support Asciinema but it was actually too much effort to be worth it I had to recompile some components make a editor interface etc etc.

It wasn't clear that they always replaced the affiliate any time someone clicked (did they even need to click before?) Honeys popup, even if they didn't find any deals. Then stores could partner with Honey and set it up so valid codes wouldn't be "found" by Honey or the store would allow them to find a 5% code even if a better one was available.
This, yes, but there’s a really interesting corollary:

If you’re on a small team (~5 people) the person obsessed with access controls cannot be trusted.

"We find that: (1) fake-star-related activities have rapidly surged since 2024; (2) the user profile characteristics of fake stargazers are not distinct from average GitHub users, but many of them have highly abnormal activity patterns; (3) the majority of fake stars are used to promote short-lived malware repositories masquerading as pirating software, game cheats, or cryptocurrency bots; (4) some repositories may have acquired fake stars for growth hacking"
It certainly has, and they have repented themselves of killing Windows Phone, turns out that when one wants to push stuff like AI and XBox ecosystem, having 10% market share is way better than not having none at all.

Then again, they have been so busy with Azure and XBox profits, that Windows development has turned into a mess, of GUI teams fighting for resources, while the apps division couldn't care less, now filled with people that grown up using UNIX instead of Windows, and see Web UIs everywhere.

Hence why Windows might be my main desktop, yet I eventually returned into Web/distributed computing world, disappointed with how UWP/WinRT development turned out.
It was not bloodless and Gorbachev did send tanks and army into breakaway republics [1][2][3], the soviet union was simply too weak to do anything to stop the movements to break away from Russia. Russia even lost the war with Chechnya in early 90s, which shows just how weak they were. It wasn't until the west helped rebuild Russian economy (mostly based on fossil fuels) that they were able to revive their imperialistic ways under Putin.

Such restrictions usually mean that you can't play games via Windows VM or on Linux directly.

Additionally, there are cheats using video capture cards, which cannot practically be prevented.

Yes, the problem with such projects is that the must be very clear benefits for users (rather than developers) to attract a critical mass. At work we had Apache Zeppelin running on the servers alongside with Jupyther. In practice almost nobody used it (probably because almost nobody else used it, so if yourun into any issues you're on your own), so it was quietly shelved after a few years.
The first article hardly has any sourcing and the second one is primarily quoting the first.
I think it has to be this way, right? Otherwise a paid reviewer will have obvious biases from the company.
It can't be that bad if there's a new active generation of developers. Not every project (FOSS or commercial) survives this step.
This is a nice tool. A game I liked to play announced end of service back in 2023. They gave enough notice to let me capture some logs from their cooridinator service.

I captured them in mitmproxy and ran those through this to help me identify all the endpoints and their general structure. (A few things were a misnomer, like the examples suggesting certain values were able to be floats when they could only be integers)

I was able to get a team together and we were able to stand up private servers as a result.
Fair enough. My point in penning the article was simply: "sea level rise to date has been not much, sea level rise yet to occur is a lot". I don't disagree with your argument, that "a whole lot more sea level rise" may be the least of our problems. Although, sea level rise is interrelated with many of the other effects that you mentioned. It will result in a loss of land (duh). A lot of that lost land will be once-very-fertile land. So it will be a big part of the food insecurity picture. Increased salinity will be another bad one, and most of that extra salt will come from the risen-up sea getting into fresh water tables. And that in turn will be a big cause of fresh water scarcity. So, sea level rise is about much more than just "millions of houses (and some entire countries!) will be under water".
Myanmar is precisely the example. You could not have picked a better example to make my case.
Apple Said Next-Generation CarPlay Would 'Arrive' in 2024 It Didn't
Even game consoles moved into software accelerated audio, as it turns out doing it in software, with CPU vector instructions is fast enough, while being more flexible.

This is also the way of the future for graphics, do way with any kind of hardware pipelines, and go back to software rendering, but having it accelerated on the GPU, as general purpose accelerator device.

If I understand incorrectly?

(Jokes aside, though, I haven't been able to figure out what IIUI stands for.)
What's the point of this? Only benefit seems to be decoupling frontend in react. Nobody complaints about Jupyter performance. You can just build frontend and keep Jupyter as it is, it is already concurrent enough for multiple users use cases.
I think we are making similar points - the inherent value of any given ad-slot has thinned to the point it’s no longer worth using the ad for “legitimate” brand advertising and they are only worth it for skivy purposes, sometimes not that.
I share some of your concerns with generalised/pre-built RAG but on your local use only question, this is in the readme:

> Host your own document QA (RAG) web-UI: Support multi-user login, organize your files in private/public collections, collaborate and share your favorite chat with others.

Kotaemon does support customisation, so maybe that should allay your concerns, but I do wonder how tricky it would be to implement and then maintain.
One thing is to have someone visually checking on your ID you're an adult, another thing is to record your full name and IP address, along with the site you access, who knows on what insecure database and probably forever. When you leave a brick-and-mortar adult store, no one asks you what your name is, records it down next to your purchase, and sends it to state authorities.

These are two very different things.

This law is not only about Pornhub or porn, but about anything each state government consider "harmful". Porn is the excuse for blocking you from accessing, in a not-so-distant future, any topic your local government frames as harmful.
Yeah, but replace "they" with "Zuckerberg" and "platforms" with "Facebook"
