subhajeet2107··on Astra can read and write weights to improve Qwen
This is mind blowing.

This opens so many avenues on using Astra or any large model to one shot smaller purpose built models for Agents, Imagine Agents writing or editing smaller weight models when doing agentic loop.

The implications are immense if all of this is generalizable

subhajeet2107··on Sharing AI progress in mathematics
an AI that is at 100s of Einstein level in every intellectual field imaginable ?maybe, running apple does not require one to be very smart or intellectual
subhajeet2107··on Show HN: I trained a 125M model to autocomplete piano on-device
This is so amazing, can you improve the quality of generation at the cost of notes per seconds ? No one can play 108 notes/sec anyways, maybe you can train the model to do CoT for better quality
subhajeet2107··on Fields Medals 2026
We are doing fine so far with just Transformers, we have just crossed Trillion parameter models, we don't know if 100s of Trillion param model wont be better.
subhajeet2107··on Launch HN: Screenpipe (YC S26) – Record how you work and turn that into agents
How are you planing to segregate between professional use and personal use, I dont want any agent or any llm to know all the time what i have been doing on my system, it would be privacy nightmare and most of the time the screencapture is not meaningful. People may use their work laptop or devices to checkout reddit or hackernews occasionally.
subhajeet2107··on LLMCap – A proxy that hard-stops LLM API calls when you hit a dollar cap
LiteLLM already provides this feature, no need of another proxy
subhajeet2107··on LLM=True
Can TOON format help in this, with "LLM=true" we can reduce the noise which pollutes context
subhajeet2107··on Tell HN: Happy New Year
Happy New Year from India
subhajeet2107··on Self-hosting my photos with Immich
I use ente which is also the same, a bit tricky to setup but the app looks great
subhajeet2107··on How Hyper built a 1M-accurate indoor GPS
Why do you need a human to do the initial mapping ? why can't you use a Roomba or a smaller hardware for this task
subhajeet2107··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (July 2025)
Currently working on https://exitfox.com/. After recently switching jobs, I became frustrated with the handover process to the new joiner. This experience inspired me to start building a tool that uses Gemini/Claude to ask relevant questions about the project being handed over, streamlines the exit process in a structured format, Now I am adding more features for HR managers and employees around Clearance, FnF etc

Interestingly I found Claude Code to be the only LLM good at designing frontend, asking it to make it look better actually helps

subhajeet2107··on Make your database tables smaller
> Joins are cheap. Normalise earlier

I am sure i have heard strong opinions like this but in practice joins are never cheap, tables with billions of rows crossed with millions of rows just to find a single row with data is not something i would call cheap, more often than not it is better to avoid joining large tables if you can live with duplicate data, also one trick i have found better is just to archive data in your tables which are not accessed frequently and reduce the size of tables keeping only the data which is needed

subhajeet2107··on Kubernetes is a red flag signalling premature optimisation
What about standardisation that comes with using a framework like kubernetes , while not using k8s you end up with adhoc deployment methods, clunky work arounds of handling networking, policies, secrets etc, with Kubernetes or even ECS it signals that the team or the developer is looking to use fixed set of rules for infrastructure, also k8s scales well even for smaller apps
subhajeet2107··on Ask HN: Non-violent video games with great stories?
Play Life is Strange
subhajeet2107··on Show HN: How attractive is your website? Check using Visual Mind AI
More like generate a random number from 30 to 90 and show gibberish data, cool idea though to fool small businesses into improving their visual score and charging money, good gimmick though
subhajeet2107··on Photon – a live demo of a natural language interface to databases
meh "is there any area column in addresses table" did not work seems straight forward to me ?
subhajeet2107··on App suddenly crashing on startup due to FBSDKRestrictiveDataFilterManager.m
This is also crashing PUBG Mobile and a lot of gamers are angry as a big tournament (PMWL) is going to start soon, Facebook needs a better QA process
subhajeet2107··on ClickHouse cost-efficiency in action: analyzing 500B rows on an Intel NUC
We use Clickhouse extensive at work and boy is it better than anything i have used in column oriented databases so far, documentation is good, http query interface and features such as builtin url parsing are amazing, we also tested Druid and found Clickhouse to be better than Druid, it is easier to setup and maintain as well
subhajeet2107··on Ask HN: For a startup, when should I begin writing tests?
There are various levels of testing, at an early stage you can write only integration and functional tests, later on when you get time you can write unit tests as well
subhajeet2107··on Ask HN: What does your BI stack look like?
Custom Collector(analytics) -> Clickhouse -> Custom ETL Scripts -> Clickhouse -> Re:dash We tried metabase which is awesome , but Redash is also great and easy to setup as well if your team knows sql then Redash is better We also looked at druid and after some benchmarking we settled on Clickhouse, realtime queries even without etl runs within seconds in clickhouse
subhajeet2107··on Django 2.2
Awesome ! we at Careers360 (India top 100 Alexa) use Django for everything, the best thing about an Opinionated stack like django is freshers are production ready at day 1, learning time reduces and maintainability is solid , although i prefer golang where frameworks are particularly not favored ,Django ORM surely lacks a lot of features but does a decent job, async story sucks unless you are willing to give in to Channels i hope Django embraces async officially in the core
subhajeet2107··on AresDB: Uber’s GPU-Powered Open-Source, Real-Time Analytics Engine
How does it compares to ClickHouse ? Isnt creating a proprietary Query Language going to be a problem for Adhoc quries? Why create yet another language when the industry is standardizing on SQL or a subset of SQL
subhajeet2107··on SSH Examples, Tips and Tunnels
Is there a way to combine screen/tmux with ssh ? like i always need to do some long running tasks over ssh and forget to put it in a screen session, i would like to open each ssh session in a screen session so that when i connect next i should be able to proceed from where i left
subhajeet2107··on Spectre.css – A Lightweight, Responsive and Modern CSS Framework
How is this different from inline styling ? this throws class inheritance out of the window
subhajeet2107··on Kubernetes for personal projects? No thanks
cluster-autoscaler can mange the machines easily, the point is kubernetes is an abstraction layer, using this level of abstraction is upto the user itself. Should i keep going down with container or using the node itself is the question, in production environment it makes all the sense to use something which has the potential to scale infinitely, but for hobby projects mental overhead doesn't justify using k8
subhajeet2107··on Ask HN: 2018 Summer Reading List?
I set a goal to read atleast 3 books a month, so this is my July list: - A mind at play: halfway through ,good read so far Shanon is a legend - The subtle Art of Not Giving a FK : Refreshingly good - Measure What Matters : Using this as a reference for everything now on, good read
subhajeet2107··on The Two Faces of AMP
AMP implementation also sucks, why cant i use !important in css for AMP ? Also try to convert any user generated page to an AMP page and have fun with all the validation errors. AMP might be a good thing for web in general but the way it is handled poorly by google , atleast Facebok Instant Articles dont have that many restrictions
