lellowon ElevenLabs Music v2.5

Completely agree! First time seeing something like this.

lellowon Matt Mullenweg tells Automattic staff in Slack he's back in control after ouster

Too much drama. Focus on the product and the users.

lellowon Show HN: HN Match Maker – Matching "Who Wants to Be Hired?" With "Who's Hiring?"

Did the same experiment sometime ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48764151

lellowon SparrowMap – Cameras that watch government vehicles

{"error": "internal error"}, when trying to open the live map.

lellowon Mea Culpa – Dark Hours

I love the attitude. Period. And I also understand his personal decision to not use it to create mobile apps, as mentioned. But, I would not follow the same route. There are several open source projects, and just because models were trained with their code, it shouldn’t stop me of creating something similar/better, with my “taste” (from another post this week) in mind. We are all different. We should have different options. I fully support open-source, but I support way more the creativity and idea from individuals that can generate something new.

lellowon Show HN: Adrafinil – keep a lid-closed Mac awake only while agents work

Interesting. Kind of similar in purpose, but I created a simple app to schedule and type the "continue" word in my terminal after X time has passed, since I have to wait for my usage to be restored. =)

lellowon Show HN: Y – A malleable coding-agent desktop app built with Electron

I like it. I see this concept of allowing users to modify things to cater to their preferences being the future tbh.

lellowon Show HN: TownSquare, a tiny presence layer for websites

haha nice project! I stayed there for a couple of minutes and had such a good time!

lellowon Show HN: Putt.day a daily mini golf game

fun little game!

lellowon Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI?

Forgot to mention: I built my personal finance app. I've been using a spreadsheet for almost 12 years now. Different versions over the years, but the same concept. It took me 3 days to get a web app that works better than the spreadsheet, and it's been life-changing!

lellowon Siri AI

In my opinion, this is late by almost two years. This should have been the v1 when they first presented Apple Intelligence.

lellowon OpenAI Submits S-1 Draft to SEC

Why do you say this? It's OK to make such a bold statement, but you gotta share how you came to this conclusion. This helps with a good discussion.

lellowon Replies to comments on my "LLMs are eroding my career" post

Just kudos to OP for coming back. One thing I almost "hate" is that nowadays everyone can put something out there... videos, articles, etc., but when confronted with questions, you never see the discussion continue. YT videos are an example... SO MANY VIDEOS... People genuinely asking some good questions... and radio silence.

lellowon HN seems dead compared to say 10-15 years ago

As someone who has been coming here for the past 8 years, I can't comment on "10-15 years" ago, but my experience hasn't changed a bit. This is and has been the only place where I visit almost daily (new account if you are looking at my profile) - and this is during vacation, during work, during weekends, etc. There is ALWAYS, literally, always an interesting discussion happening on topics that I would never be part of, if it wasn't for someone starting the discussion here. Yeh, today there is a bunch of AI, bla, bla, bla... so what will be next?! Not sure, but I know it will be here.

lellowon Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI?

Well, I've been pretty active in our rec baseball team for the past few seasons, so: 1) App to help my son and other kids learn baseball IQ, and 2) Streaming app to compete against GameChanger. It's been refreshing to say the least. :)
