How? For what?<p>fintuneing seems to be out of fashion (if it were really ever in fashion), but I still see folks like Karpathy mention reaching for it as a tool.<p>But is anyone in any business capacity on here doing that? Are you finetuning any remote LLM or something self-hosted? What for?<p>I’m just curious where the line is of “oh this is better encoded in the models weights rather than in RAG/thinking over context stuff it needs to figure out.
Digital Ocean blocked my account. They said my "deployment and actions were in violation of our Terms of Service" which is remarkable because all I did was create a single droplet and run a basic setup script on it. The next day — blocked, shut down, deleted. No warning, no explanation, no appeal.Their Terms of Service allows them to delete your servers, your data, everything — at any time, for any reason, including none at all. The tiniest perceived risk to them outweighs any amount o
I’ve been working on a small project called Buildfeed – a place where you can post what you’re building instantly, without setup or “launch” pressure.I currently have ~40 users, and I’m trying an experiment:Can I reach 100 users in the next 24 hours?No ads, no audience, just posting and sharing.If you’re building something, you can try it here: https://www.buildfeed.coI’ll update this thread with what happens (what works / what doesn’t).
I built a TypeScript schema validation library that takes a different architectural approach from Zod and similar tools.I started this project before I ever used Zod — I wanted to understand how schema validation/inference libraries works by building one from scratch. As I iterated on it, I realized the architecture was turning out surprisingly well, so I started using it in my internal projects. Now I consider it a full-fledged alternative to Zod with some unique features of its own, and I
Gm HN,<p>Quite hard to code without AI nowadays.<p>We decided to help people monitore it, in order to reach their own goals.<p>AI writes your code, we teach you how to use it.
we make openClaw cost be 1/10 of the cost by unlocking unused compute on the cloud be the right architecture for agentic inference. We seamlessly bring unused VMs, hardware on cloud for inference. Reach us at [email protected] if you would like early access to OpenClaw on unused cloud compute
AI agents can’t do business and negotiate commercial deals with each other safely today. I built a protocol to prevent the problems agent-to-agent negotiation will inevitably run into once procurement and seller agents are mainstream.A2CN is an open protocol for agent-to-agent commercial negotiation. We’re already seeing procurement agents negotiate deals and huge savings for buyer departments in the enterprise. Companies like Pactum, Fairmarkit, and Zip have agents already transacting with supp
Something I’ve noticed (I’m using Claude subscription so no refunds but it applies to usage windows) is that sometimes AI makes mistakes so if something is important I tell Claude code to spin up a couple of sub agents and verify the information, often there will be a mistake and it gets rectified.<p>It feels unfair I have to pay (or lose some usage) for this.<p>Interested in other people’s thoughts.

Hi HN, I’m Sandhya and we have built Visual DB — a web front end for databases. It lets you create data-entry forms, spreadsheet-like grids, and reports directly on top of your existing relational database.Here’s a quick walkthrough: https://youtu.be/4zv_HQKdKeI (13 minutes)WHAT PROBLEM IS THIS SOLVING?Building CRUD apps with master-detail forms, transactions, and proper concurrency controls typically requires weeks of custom development and ongoing maintenance. Visual DB lets you
Hey HN, I'm Marcel from Tusk. We’re launching Tusk Drift, an open source tool that generates a full API test suite by recording and replaying live traffic.How it works:1. Records traces from live traffic (what gets captured)2. Replays traces as API tests with mocked responses (how replay works)3. Detects deviations between actual vs. expected output (what you get)Unlike traditional mocking libraries, which require you to manually emulate how dependencies behave, Tusk Drift automatically rec
Hi HN,I recently updated my pytest plugin based on httpdbg to include the HTTP traces directly in the Allure reports. As with httpdbg, the idea is to have nothing more to do than to add an argument to your command line: --httpdbg-allure.For example:pytest examples/pytest_demo.py --alluredir=./allure-results --httpdbg-allureFor each test, all HTTP requests will be recorded and saved in the Allure report under a step named httpdbg.You can check the README in the repository to see how it
About 3 years ago i wrote a custom preprocessor to assist in processing the SQLite project's JavaScript builds (e.g. filtering the small differences between vanilla JS and ESM modules). Recently, that app was forked, refactored into a library, and is now, AFAIK, the world's only source-agnostic[^1], client-extensible preprocessor (if one doesn't count sed, awk, etc.).It's implemented in portable C99 and has a two-file source distribution (one header, one .c file). Its only th

Hey HN,I'm Karan, a frontend developer who loves creating UIs, but I've found that many people don't like CSS, but they want their website to look beautiful and polished, and what better way to enhance a website than with animationsAnimations using plain CSS are tricky, and that's why I leaned towards Motion a powerful animation library for React, and I built ogBlocks using React, Motion, and Tailwind CSSI built it for three reasons:1.

Hi HN,I built ClientDock - a client portal for service providers to manage communications and files without email chaos.Background: After losing a critical client deliverable in a 200+ email thread, I decided to build a better solution. Most "client portals" are bloated project management tools. I wanted something focused on one thing: making client communication effortless.Technical Details: - Built with Next.js 15 (App Router) - Deployed on Cloudflare Workers using OpenNext adapter -
I always wanted this: an easy way to reach "resolve docker container by name" -- e.g., to reach web servers running in Docker containers on my dev machine. Of course, I could export ports from all these containers, try to keep them out of each others hair on the host, and then use http://localhost:PORT. But why go through all that trouble? These containers already expose their respective ports on their own IP (e.g., 172.24.0.5:8123), so all I need is a convenient way to find
