This project mostly came from knowing that Deno KV is backed by FoundationDB and that there were (are?) plans to use Foundation for CouchDB 4.0 too. I like working on Deno. I like working in CouchDB. I like Deno KV but don’t enjoy the ergonomics of it. So Cushion was mostly made for my comfort. PouchDB with Deno KV as the storage adapter.

Small business owners have watched large companies fumble – and sometimes succeed – with AI, and then use what works One thing I’ve learned about corporate America is that what it succeeds at ultimately trickles down to benefit small businesses. Bleeding-edge technologies such as the internet, mobile transactions and the cloud were first perfected by large organizations – government and corporations – and now they’re available to the masses at a much lower cost and with better reliability. The good news is that it’s also the same for what they fail at. Continue reading...

A symlink bug in Google’s agents-cli got fixed last week and I fell down a hole. The part that stuck with me wasn’t the bug. It was that no reviewer could have caught it. There was nothing to read. That’s a whole category. Code review is great at logic you can see on a screen and structurally blind to a pile of things that never show up as text in a diff. Starting a list. Add yours. Symlinks. The diff says creds. It does not say creds points at ~/.ssh/id_rsa. That’s the Google one: a project template shipped two symlinks, the scaffolder followed them, and the contents of your private…

This no-frills pizza oven gets the basics right and is more than good enough for most people • The best pizza ovens – tested • Ooni Koda 2 review The market for pizza ovens tends to be dominated by a handful of specialist brands, so it can feel like a gamble to buy from a lesser-known manufacturer or a retailer that offers a wider range of goods. The ProCook outdoor pizza oven is no gamble, though. It’s every inch a capable, compact and versatile pizza oven, despite being just one product in an offering that includes pretty much everything from storage jars to squeegees. Continue read…

I took a week of from work recently to reimplement Storyteller's forced alignment algorithm. Storyteller is an open source, self hosted platform for creating, managing, and reading/listening to "readaloud" books — books that have audiobook narration built in and can highlight each sentence (and/or word, with this new algorithm!) as it's read aloud. Anyway, I am really pleased with how the new algorithm turned out! Hopefully someone else finds it interesting as well. submitted by /u/scrollin_thru [link] [comments]

Hi HN, I'm Bor Shev, a composer and developer. Over the past two years I've been developing ShevtoneAudio Orchestrator. The idea is simple: instead of generating a finished piece of music and replacing the composer, Orchestrator takes the composer's own MIDI and develops it into a full orchestration. It analyzes the musical material — harmony, melody, rhythm, dynamics, structure and orchestral density — and creates an arrangement across strings, brass, percussion and other sections. The important part is that the result remains editable MIDI. The composer keeps control and can continue wo…
I built a tool ( https://1mil.app/hn ) to help me test my intuition about various weird business ideas that were on my mind. Initially, I wanted to create a database with 1 million business ideas (hence the name - "1 million opportunities"). But turned out to be a dumb idea already. So instead I built this tool that returns only 10 ideas. It's all based on your input, market + your background. The first release scored on demand only and it gave false confidence. So I rebuilt the the scoring around "winnability": can a solo founder with a specific background "win" against what already exists?…

1endpoint is a unified AI inference gateway. We support OpenAI Chat Completions, Responses API and Anthropic Messages, so existing tools and agents can usually point to 1endpoint without changing much of their integration. The other thing we've been focusing heavily on is cost. A lot of the models are significantly cheaper than their official API pricing, without relabeling or downgrading the requested model.
