febed··on Ask HN: What are you building first with Fable?
I’d like to build a custom harness - but would that get you banned?
febed··on Remove–AI–Watermarks – CLI and library for removing AI watermarks from images
Since it seems like you would know, could it also work with Non AI static watermarks like repeating oblique lines?
febed··on Go on Embedded Systems and WebAssembly
Does it support ESP32
febed··on Show HN: Gemini can now natively embed video, so I built sub-second video search
This seems like something that would be very expensive to run. Do you have some representative figures at a particular resolution and frame rate?
febed··on Show HN: Context Mode – 315 KB of MCP output becomes 5.4 KB in Claude Code
It would be helpful if you could add a diagram showing the flow of data. I get the general idea but not how you implemented it.
febed··on Obsidian Sync now has a headless client
I’ve been using Obsidian with Dropbox sync for years. What’s so special about the Obsidian sync?
febed··on Show HN: PgDog – Scale Postgres without changing the app
Does it support extensions like PostGIS?
febed··on I'm not worried about AI job loss
AI is increasing my job security at the moment because the junior developers I work with use AI without discretion. On of them didn’t remember having worked on a feature they built with AI assistance in the recent past. To his credit he admitted he didn’t know how the code worked.
febed··on Making geo joins faster with H3 indexes
Wouldn’t having a spatial index give you most of the performance gains talked about here without needing H3?
febed··on Instant database clones with PostgreSQL 18
If possible could you share a repo/gist with a working docker example? I’m curious how the instant clone world work there.
febed··on Archivists posted the 60 minutes CECOT segment Bari Weiss killed
My brain interpreted this as the archivist being killed. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
febed··on Venezuela explained in 10 maps and charts
Interesting how Venezuela has more oil than Saudi Arabia but is not able to capitalize on it due to systemic issues
febed··on I ported JustHTML from Python to JavaScript with Codex CLI and GPT-5.2 in hours
What was your prompt to get it to run the test suite and heal tests at every step? I didn’t see that mentioned in your write up. Also, any specific reason you went with Codex over Claude Code?
febed··on OpenAI are quietly adopting skills, now available in ChatGPT and Codex CLI
Can skills completely replace MCPs? For example, can a skill be configured to launch my local Python program in its own venv. I don’t want Claude to spend time spinning up a runtime
febed··on GPT-5.2
Apart from sounding a bit stiff and informal, I was also surprised at how good Gemini Live mode is in regional Indian languages.
febed··on Windows 10 Deadline Boosts Mac Sales
The biggest issue with Windows 11 for me is the noticeable performance lag in basic apps like Notepad and File Explorer. Simple tasks, like opening files or navigating folders, feel sluggish, and I can visibly see windows rendering in slow motion. I’ve heard this might be due to Windows 11’s UI elements being redrawn over lower level UI. I’m considering switching to Linux as my daily driver.
febed··on DuckDB is probably the most important geospatial software of the last decade
Last I checked DuckDB spatial didn’t support handling projections. It couldn’t load the CRS from a .prj file. This makes it useless for serious geospatial stuff.
febed··on I put sheet music into smart glasses [video]
Any workaround for those needing prescription glasses?
febed··on Just redesigned my personal site with a TTY-style interface
now do telnet
febed··on Show HN: I built an app to generate story relationships using Mermaidjs
LLMs make it really trivial to work with MermaidJS. Just yesterday I used it to sketch out some business logic. Seeing the whole flowchart like that helped me catch some corner cases.
febed··on LLM Workflows then Agents: Getting Started with Apache Airflow
Would be interested to know what drawbacks you found with Dagster or Prefect.
febed··on Playwright Tools for MCP
Anyone compare this with BrowserUse ?

https://browser-use.com/

febed··on Notetime: Minimalistic notes where everything is timestamped
What’s the tech stack like?
febed··on Show HN: XPipe, a shell connection hub for SSH, Docker, K8s, VMs, and more
Do you support shortcuts for nested RDP connections. It’s a major pain point
febed··on Ask HN: Is anyone doing anything cool with tiny language models?
What data do you analyze?
febed··on My son (9 yrs old) used plain JavaScript to make a game, and wants your feedback
Commendable! After school, homework, sports and music we barely have time for other activites.
febed··on Ask HN: Best non-fiction book you read in 2024?
Well I don’t read much fiction, any good picks?
febed··on Show HN: Physically accurate black hole simulation using your iPhone camera
Not related to the app, but could someone explain how something with huge though finite mass can create a singularity which is a point of infinite density? Can there also be black holes which are just dark stars with intense gravity having a hard surface?
febed··on Artificial intelligence is losing hype
It’s just a souped up version of Aider with an easier interface, isn’t it?
febed··on Maestro: Netflix's Workflow Orchestrator
Dagster is a better alternative, because of its asset first philosophy. Task based workflows are still available if you really need it.
