Wikipedia’s 68m articles have been consulted trillions of times. Not bad for a website that has barely changed since it was founded 20 years ago A few years ago, I was struck by the tension between how Wikipedia was used, and how it was talked about. Everyone was on it all the time, and yet its reputation had stalled at “don’t trust it”, because it was the “free encyclopedia that anyone can edit”. Clearly people were trusting it, so much so it had become part of the fabric of everyday life since it was founded by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger in 2001. But despite the fact it now ha…

I made this ahead of the Ocarina of Time remake which comes out in 17 days. I remember the feeling of playing it as a kid but I hadn’t kept up with the story so I built a timeline to catch up before the Door of Time reopens. Nintendo’s own timeline is the authority here (Hyrule Historia and their chronicle page). The fun part was rethinking how to visualize it. It branches at the end of Ocarina into three eras depending on whether Link wins or loses, so each era is its own thread on the cloth. The threads meet again much later with Breath of the Wild.

Anyone else get a lot of dumb scam calls? These days I mostly get them on my mobile. I used to just ignore them, but then I got fed up and built a bot that answers my calls and wastes their time. It runs on OpenAI Live 1. Jev classifies each call as spam, scam or genuine and steers the bot accordingly. Works like a charm. All my calls go to the bot now. I can also steer it from Telegram mid-call. In this one the bot ended up accusing the scammer of being an AI :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpuTzRg8_fU Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50140472 Points: 1 # Comments: 0
Here you have 13 different rocket engine technologies, 9 have flown, 3 built and test fired, but not flown and 1 never completed. I created this site because I wanted to learn more about rocket engines and how they work. My background is HVAC/plumbing engineer and 3D artist, not rocket engineer, so I built this just out of my personal curiosity. Here you can investigate each motor type and learn what each part does, explode and cutaway the model and see how fuel and oxidizer flow to generate the thrust. Site is created using Claude Opus 5.5. Claude made also the 3D models using Blender MCP. S…

Hi again! Existing text to speech or ebook to audiobook apps usually rely on KokoroTTS and don't process the pdf in a reliable way, so it often ends up reading all the front matter/opening section OCR artifacts and other crap in a machine-sounding voice. My app first fixes the content structure using an LLM and then uses heavier models to get voices with natural intonation across more than 40 languages. About a year ago when I posted this it was still just an idea, now its becoming a real thing. Any feedback appreciated. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50140422 Points: 2 #…

Is it possible to reverse-engineer and rebuild VEGAS Pro as open source? reverse-engineered and reimplemented as an open-source video editor, similar to projects that recreate proprietary software functionality? I’m interested in reproducing its distinctive timeline workflow, .veg project format, effects, transitions and audio editing. How feasible is this technically? Could .veg project files be reverse-engineered and supported? Are there existing tools or projects to start with? What would be the biggest obstacles? The goal would be an independent implementation, not copying proprietary s…

These are my thoughts on modern software development. Everything is subscription based software as a service, even if there is no clear benefits of it being in the cloud (for the user). Writing offline-first apps also provide a way to prove that you are not going to sell user data.

The vibecoding tag has been getting more and more useless for a while now. It lost the original meaning as the culture of software engineering with LLMs matured a bit.

Now it actually got harmful to the community when tagging posts turns away very valuable members https://lobste.rs/c/vecuxj I sighed and moved on for a while now as almost everything gets tagged - you can skip a word.
