Nice job. I have a similar automated CRON that runs overnight and does the following when it encounters new pictures in a folder: - Qwen3-VL 8b creates a verbose description + keywords - Simpler CLIP encoder builds another set of tags - Des

“Catchiness” is probably more important than anything, hence the concept of the earworm aka stuck song syndrome. Even SOTA GenAI like Suno/Udio fall pretty short of generating genuinely engaging melodies.

Nice job, but that polka‑esque music makes me want to feed myself to the yeti as quickly as possible. :) You might consider a mechanic where moving your character in a sinusoidal pattern works like building up blue sparks in Mario Kart rewa

I'm using the default llama-server that is part of Gerganov's LLM inference system running on a headless machine with an nVidia 16GB GPU, but Ollama's a bit easier to ease into since they have a preset model library. https:&

The easiest way to get started is probably to use something like Ollama and use the `qwen3-vl:8b` 4‑bit quantized model [1]. It's a good balance between accuracy and memory, though in my experience, it's slower than older model ar

Not OP but one example is that recent VL models are more than sufficient for analyzing your local photo albums/images for creating metadata / descriptions / captions to help better organize your library.

Strongly agree. Gemma3:27b and Qwen3-vl:30b-a3b are among my favorite local LLMs and handle the vast majority of translation, classification, and categorization work that I throw at them.

Sure. It also might just be a local caching issue - I've definitely experienced this on my apps before.

Less cookie/login is always a plus. I've been using uBlock Origin on Firefox for so long I don't even notice stuff like that anymore. One more bit of feedback - you left the React default favicon in the app, so you might want

There actually was an attempt on HN a little while back to use GenAI to convert facts, flashcards, lists, etc. into automated melodic mnemonics. The biggest issue in that particular case was that it was also generating the motif from scratc

Nice job. Given the attention to detail, I was a bit surprised that you made the jump height a fixed value though which no Mario game has ever done. EDIT: Well except for maybe Hotel Mario on the CD-i. :)

Sure. I dialed the pressure sensitivity down to zero, but it still didn’t work. This was in mobile Safari (WebKit) on an iPad. It definitely works in Firefox on Android, though, so it does seem to be an iOS-specific issue.

Very cool. Small bit of feedback - I'd suggest using the pointer events so that the site is compatible with desktop and tablets. It didn't seem to respond to touch events when I tried it. https://developer.mozilla.org&#

This site, especially if you look at all the previous posts from this domain, is almost assuredly AI generated. One of the "fun" hallmarks of many of these LLM assisted websites is that they seem to completely disregard basic acce

Roguelikes are a great use case. I used to play Castle of the Winds all the time with a number pad, Shift+7913 fast movement FTW.

Quite a bit - I have a bunch of custom shortcuts for musical notation (adding dynamics, expression, etc.) for rapidly entering music into my notation software.

Nice job. When I lived in Taiwan, there were small book shops that had quite a few bilingual books (中英雙語) that were a great help for learning. One thing a lot of people don’t know is that The New York Times publishes many of its articles in

Nice job. I picked up a fair amount of Chinese when I was first learning it using the popular PTT Bulletin board system (批踢踢實業坊) in Taiwan, so it's a great way to learn. As far as the sentences by HSK level - I did something similar us

There's a tangentially related concept to this where Nobel Prize winners have held, shall we say, rather questionable beliefs in areas outside their domain of expertise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_disease
