had a lot of fun putting this Pluribus edit together. in the original scene, the hive explains to carol how they eat dead humans

made with gpt-6 astra, elevenlabs for the voice, and a lip sync model from fal

astra chose to just use ffmpeg directly for the video editing. i then manually added the captions using descript

AI risks are getting very real, very fast

the problem is they always feel so abstract, most of us just end up ignoring them

so i created a FOSS project to make AI risks more relatable using analogies from popular movies/shows/anime

i had a LOT of fun with this project.. sexy webgl goodness, lots of meme potential, and i learned a ton about AI safety along the way!

would love to hear your thoughts

reminds me of the advice of unpacking your dreams in https://www.experimental-history.com/p/face-it-youre-a-crazy...

great talk by ilya sutskever on how this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKMuA_TVz3A&t=2121s

the link should go to the base url, not an overloaded server: https://hop.earth

published dozens of TI-Basic and then C games (via tigcc) back in the day https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/authors/78/7869.html

this was such an amazing way to learn programming

ai ayushhhhh

hosting a month-long residency for indie hackers in Da Nang, Vietnam!

we invited 10 of the best indie devs from around the world to live & build alongside us for a month at a beautiful villa. for free. (we have sponsors like OpenRouter, Cognition, n8n, and CodeRabbit!)

https://x.com/HackerResidency

we're 10 days into our first batch – would love feedback :)

can't log into https://amazon.com either after logging out; so many downstream issues

an alternate to exporting kindle ebooks: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/kindle-ai-export

thanks, nadis :)

love zoxide; been using it for a long while as a replacement for built-in `cd`

definitely; our main goal is to see how much we can accomplish in a month and do a mini social demo day at the end. more info in our faq https://www.hackerresidencygroup.com/faq

really excited to see what hf0's container concept is like in a completely different country :)

i really like the saying "talent is uniformly distributed; opportunity is not"

this is def an experiment and our first time doing anything like this in SE asia, but i'm personally really excited to see who this attracts, and i just hope it ends up as a semi-organized non-shitshow ;)

Hey HN,

I've partnered w/ indie hacking legends Tony Dinh and Minh-Phuc Tran to host a new type of month-long Hacker Residency at a dope villa in Da Nang, Vietnam, this November, 2025.

*This is an experiment*

We're looking for 10 experienced devs who want to lock in with us for a month to take their startup / indie game to the next level!

We're also looking for some select sponsors who align w/ our mission to help us cover our costs (program is free for residents unless you've taken venture funding, and includes housing, cleaning, catering, laundry, etc for the month).

Would love to hear your thoughts!

We're inviting 10 hackers to come live & build with us at a dope villa in Da Nang, Vietnam for a whole month this November, 2025.

We're offering this for FREE (taking no equity or rev share or costs) as an experiment because we're all passionate about the indie hacker lifestyle and want to shine an aspirational spotlight on it. I went through HF0 in SF, and the vibes are heavily inspired by that experience.

Applications open now && lemme know if you have any questions.

this blog post was a delight to read. great work, colin && thanks!!

love this reference :)

literally spent all day playing with this until I ran out of image gen capacity a lil while ago.

so much fun.

this animation really makes the difference hit home: https://x.com/_akhaliq/status/1900027075370586262

"HashiCorp's capabilities drive significant synergies across multiple strategic growth areas for IBM, including Red Hat, watsonx, data security, IT automation and Consulting"

this sounds like corporate AI slop

https://github.com/getgrit/gritql is the best large-scale codemod / refactoring tool I've ever used.

Where's the actual repo for the fork?

It's not linked to anywhere and not listed under the flutter github org...

Why? Because OpenAI's version uses JS.. but it's 2024 and every JS/TS dev expects typing to "just work" – especially for APIs released by multi-billion-dollar companies.

• strongly-typed, drop-in replacement for OpenAI's JS version

• all events and handlers are properly typed

• lots of subtle bug fixes (strong typing FTW!)

• includes a simple relay server

• includes several node.js examples

• includes OpenAI's realtime console demo

• 100% open source

Would love feedback from the HN JS/TS community && thanks!

I had a lot of fun w/ this project :)

It works by logging into your Kindle web reader account using Playwright, exporting each page of a book as a PNG image, and then using a vLLM (gpt-4o or gpt-4o-mini) to transcribe the text from each page to text. Once we have the raw book contents and metadata, then it's easy to convert it to PDF, EPUB, etc.

The repo supports a few different options for TTS providers to generate audiobooks from the resulting text.

Would love feedback && thanks!

With the TC39 Signals Proposal reaching Stage 1, I wanted to do a deep-dive on the most popular reactive TS libs, benchmark them, and explore some of their design tradeoffs.
