ex3ndr··on Launch HN: Omnara (YC S25) – Run Claude Code and Codex from anywhere
Stability was our (Happy) temporary problem, since our DB grown to reach like a TB now, but since we upgraded it is much much better.
ex3ndr··on Clawdbot - open source personal AI assistant
The problem that you expose everything, why i need to expose my health things to coworkers? or surprise party planning? with prompts you can limit exposure easily.

i have tried this workflow and it is solid. It is a codex that commits once it finishes something. You can pipeline changes, so it works like in 5-10min intervals and it gets mostly right, much better (and much slower) than opus. He has two computers and one for longer running tasks and another for short one. I suppose you just pipeline a bunch of small issues to the long term one and ask it to work and work on the repo. Another one is probably where he is more engaged with specific tasks. Impressive that it works quite good.

What if we will go even further? I have built end-to-end messaging layer for Clawdbot to talk to each other, called Murmur - https://github.com/slopus/murmur.

We tried this with friends and it is truly magical (while crazy insecure) - i can ask my agent to search friends life, their preferences, about their calendars, what films they are watching. It can look at emails and find if you need something and go to people around asking for help. It is truly magical. Very very curious where it can go. At the moment it is exceptionally easy to exfiltrate anything, but you still can control via proper prompts - what you want to share and what you dont want to. I bet models will became better and eventually it wont be a problem.

ex3ndr··on Dead Internet Theory
I am curious when we will land dead github theory? I am looking at growing of self hosted projects and it seems many of them are simply AI slop now or slowly moving there.

Humans dont need a skill to know that they need a skill

Thanks for report, thankfully it is needed only once!
ex3ndr··on Entropy Attacks
The most interesting link is broken( does anyone knows how to find source for this link: https://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~sdg/igor-slides.pdf?
ex3ndr··on Docs – Open source alternative to Notion or Outline
But outline is opensource?
ex3ndr··on Telegram boss banned from leaving France in criminal probe
Boss? He is a founder, not a head of mafia.
ex3ndr··on FlashAttention-3: Fast and Accurate Attention with Asynchrony and Low-Precision
I am wondering why flash attention is like 5x slower with variable masking than without it? Lack of good masking support almost zeros out the optimizations
ex3ndr··on ChatTTS-Best open source TTS Model
Looks like it is yet another xtts fork
ex3ndr··on Vice website is shutting down
i have the same, but they put porn links everywhere and it mildly damages reputation of ex-employees.
ex3ndr··on Fitness trackers find new symptom of depression: body temperature
I am wondering if you can just cool down your body to fix it. I had panic attacks in the past and now from time to time i am experience mild anxiety. Eventually i learned that hot shower or hot bed (i have 8sleep) actually increases anxiety, making my bed colder calms anxiety. This makes sense since anxiety and many other disorders are just overloading the body and cooling down stops the chemical processes that causes them.
ex3ndr··on Sora: Creating video from text
Nothing stopped doing so before AI - just slam a photo of your friends to the ad.
ex3ndr··on Stable-Audio-Demo
Thankfully you can train it at home, the bigger question is a data.
ex3ndr··on Zigbee and Z-Wave are the best part of my smart home
That is a super bad advice: most of the matter stuff simply unstable, very few devices. Apple's support is also subpar and unstable.
ex3ndr··on Developers revolt over Apple's new app store rules
It is time to create project similar to Wine, but for iOS
ex3ndr··on Launch HN: AgentHub (YC W24) – A no-code automation platform
Could be easily implemented with windmill i think
ex3ndr··on USCIS announces strengthened integrity measures for H-1B program
Good luck doing so being russian
ex3ndr··on Svelte Native
in 2023 it is a one liner to add native modules, very easy to link via normal cocoapods or gradle, then almost zero configuration.

Flutter is a joke because it reimplements literally what apple intended to perfect - rendering pipeline, a lot of things impossible to make good without using native api.

ex3ndr··on Svelte Native
No, even when you are writing directly in swift/kotlin you avoid main thread at all costs. Any overhead here is a death sentence for performance.
ex3ndr··on Svelte Native
No, you do not, you can use a free service by expo that would build in the cloud. Literally requires zero setup. Local build is needed only if you are sensitive to security, but many banks started to use it. Also native plugins became so easy to use it is a joke how simple it is comparing to cocoapods and some cryptic libraries.

Expo's workflow is so perfect comparing to pure native, it is not even comparable. To do iOS development you need: Swift Packages, Cocoapods and XCode at least. Whils in general it is simple, but cocoapods constantly fights with apple and xcode to not crash anything. While expo also uses cocoapods, it is much more stable because you can always just delete a native project and regenerate it from scratch and it will work.

I am not even starting to discuss how complicated is development for Android - literally everything now have 5+ different APIs for a simple things like "please encrypt this string" or "take a photo". React Native and Expo has perfect packages that solves real problems and work with a few keystrokes.

ex3ndr··on Svelte Native
This is a very weird thing to say when expo is literally one line installation and it does not require you anything to be installed (even XCode) on machine for most projects. It is literally 10x times easier than just writing in Swift.
ex3ndr··on Svelte Native
Because they run JS on main thread while react native tries to minimise it at all costs (only keeping rendering and animations, but not layouts for example).
ex3ndr··on Amazon and iRobot call off their planned acquisition
IR sensors are just cameras, also IR can look through some clothes
ex3ndr··on Amazon and iRobot call off their planned acquisition
No, they have they are just "IR" cameras and they avoid using word "camera", but they are still pretty much the same cameras.
ex3ndr··on Amazon and iRobot call off their planned acquisition
Current roborocks are mostly vision plus some lidar for some precision
ex3ndr··on Too many Mac apps are being built with Electron
And yet native apps consume as much or even more memory than electron because you have to implement memory management manually which could be very difficult for app like WhatsApp.
