MitPitt··on Show HN: TitleArt – Make text like it's 1997
This could be genuinely useful for web design because it's easy to setup layout reflow using all the sliders. I hope you'll open source it.
MitPitt··on A 10-year-old CNN outperforms frontier LLMs for skin cancer diagnosis
And a calculator outperforms LLMs at multiplication and division...
MitPitt··on Dolly – scroll animations in plain CSS
scrolljacking is the absolute worst cliche in all of web UX
MitPitt··on The Last Museum: Semantic search across 5.8M artworks from major museums
This website likely uses a semantic vector space like CLIP or BERT space. Which is based on co-occurrence of words, it doesn't have a harder logic behind it. Soviets probably had cylinders in some machinery which is why it pulled.
MitPitt··on RepRapMicron
affordable housing for everyone. a bit tight but it's a start
MitPitt··on Show HN: High-quality duck audio synthesizer
i suppose this is an environment noise generator, with duck calls just being recordings. i wish you could control ducks individually, after i threw peas they just hang out near mic forever
MitPitt··on Making chicken transparent using Dorito dust
Some exotic fish and frog species are completely transparent. So one might wonder what makes meat opaque. Then wonder how to get the opaque out of other meat. I don't know where doritos comes in.
MitPitt··on Jev meets the Trolley Problem
ah yes kafkaesque. the one with the bug
MitPitt··on Triple-A Minesweeper
Focus, M.
MitPitt··on Couple was swatted 55 times in 2 years over a post about Norm Macdonald
i read that in norm's voice
MitPitt··on Show HN: Google Maps Scraper MCP
Being able to scrape google maps must mean that OpenStreetMaps are just as good, since someone can just pull new changes periodically

In fact, OpenStreetMaps often have better data than google maps. So one should just use that in call cases.

This website is ugly slop by the way.

MitPitt··on Gitea 28.0
they skipped 26 major versions, ai is truly amazing
MitPitt··on I can't tell who's teaching who anymore
It's the same emotion as if you're enjoying ska music subculture, but can't dress in its style of clothes, because people will think you're a skinhead.

You'll be judged for riding in your old Tesla car, because people may think you're a fan of modern Elon.

It may sound like a stretch, but I feel it's virtually the same thing — style.

MitPitt··on I can't tell who's teaching who anymore
> I take out em dashes and replace them with commas or full stops

Yeah that's your problem. I like my em dashes. You don't need to be ashamed of your style just because it got mainstream. Doesn't matter whether it's AI or a fashion fad. It's like liking a music band before it gets popular on tiktok.

MitPitt··on Show HN: Jev Plays Pokémon Red
This is kinda chill to have in the background. I wish there were livestreams showing live reasoning of top models which are currently trying to solve cancer or whatever. Imagine the pogs in chat when it does.
MitPitt··on Ask HN: What self-hosted apps do you use daily?
I self-host RSS-Bridge and an RSS reader.

RSS can replace checking all your subscriptions (youtube, subreddits, etc.) to just one place. I tried a lot of RSS readers but it turns out you'll only like the one you make for yourself, that's why there are so many.

Sorting feeds into categories (I have channels for photography, sports, memes etc.) feels like bliss and is otherwise impossible to do.

You can also quickly vibe code RSS feeds for websites that don't have them.

MitPitt··on Show HN: A Handwritten Blogging Platform
huh that website looks like it was generated with Claude just yesterday or something
MitPitt··on The hardest way to make a GIF
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe
MitPitt··on Dopamine Fracking
Humanity was fracking dopamine from art by first painting on cave walls, then oil on canvas, and eventually we got cinematography and video games. Author sounds like a luddite. Feel free to paint on cave walls. Nothing's happening to real strawberries either.
MitPitt··on 1-Bit Bonsai Image 4B Image Generation for Local Devices
Lately I've noticed posts with barely 10 points getting to HN frontpage. Was it always like this?
MitPitt··on If you let AI do your writing, I will come to your house and kill you

MitPitt··on Serving a website on a Raspberry Pi Zero running in RAM
A raspberry zero is more powerful than an enterprise server from the 1990s. A minimalist static website is not impressive. You can fit way more in there.
MitPitt··on Six Levels of Dark Mode (2024)
make dark mode the default, then it's a flash of dark in either case
MitPitt··on Mullvad VPN: Banned TV Ad in the Streets of London [video]
Mullvad becoming popular with huge ad campaigns is very sus. Either way I don't use it anymore because its ip ranges are banned on most websites.
MitPitt··on Welcoming Discord users amidst the challenge of Age Verification
This can be done and it's called a zero knowledge proof (ZKP) in cryptography. And it's starting to be used in crypto wallets to verify humanity.
MitPitt··on There is no comfortable reading position
It increases visual distance to page which strains the eye.
MitPitt··on Steam Machine
what game needs more?
MitPitt··on Amber Room
Amber doesn't smell at all. "Amber" scent in perfumery is more like a vibe thing.
MitPitt··on Highest bridge unveiled at more than 2,000ft above ground
I'm positive those trucks are self driven. There is no need for draconian measures you hoped for. Spaceship engineers aren't forced to go into space.
MitPitt··on Highest bridge unveiled at more than 2,000ft above ground
To punish them for building a cool bridge or?
