Follow-up to my 512 MB Spring Boot experiment: I tried the same application on a 256 MB Alpine VPS. JDK 21 struggled badly at this size, but with JDK 25 and a tuned 80 MB heap, the app plus lightweight monitoring completed a one-hour run without restarts or OOM kills. Still not something I’d recommend for normal production, but the difference was interesting. submitted by /u/fykup [link] [comments]

In 1969, humans landed on moon using Apollo-Guidance-Computer (AGC) whose compute power was equivalent to today's scientific calculator. Today we have billions of device which are alteast million times more powerful than AGC lying mostly idle. With this inspiration, have created Ramanujan-Computing which can harness idle computation to run scientific simulations. There is a project BOINC which tries to solve this problem, however for any new kind of simulation, the developer has to create new binary, distribute that binary to the devices that can provide its computation power. This problem ge…

Hi HN, We built Marktwin because I wanted a place to edit my GitHub Markdown files with my team. The alternatives we found meant either storing our notes somewhere else, having uncomfortable collaboration, or passing through someone else's server. Marktwin is a space to edit the files already in your repository, shared peer-to-peer. You can write Markdown, use a canvas, draw, discuss and review changes before syncing them back to GitHub. Everything available on marktwin.com is free for now, and we hope to keep it like that. There is no built-in AI. For now, the goal is simply to keep the cont…

I had an old NAS that was using up a lot of energy so I kept it mostly offline.. But then I'd have to go turn it on when I actually need to use it... So I automated it with doormouse - its a wake-on-lan reverse proxy, both or web apps (HTTP) and things like SSH (TCP). When I connect to the services hosted on my old NAS, doormouse wakes up the machine and fulfills the requests when it has woken up. It is open source, yes a lot of the code is AI-generated, but its heavy on the tests, both automated and manual. Try it out - feedback is welcome. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=…

Just in 24 hrs of launch, it pulled in $700+ of advert and ~200k+ impressions on socials. What a time to be a designer who can build & sell on the internet.

OP here: this project was born out of the frustration/paranoia that AI providers are throttling their models when their server load is too high. So, I set out to model and study the problem mathematically to understand what was happening, what I found was quite surprising. The idea seems natural: as the data center demand increases momentarily through the day, throttling their models (either using quantized versions, reducing the context window or lowering the tier of the model to a smaller one) seems appealing as the replacement model in principle uses less electricity. The problem is that t…
