Hey, Hacker News. I just want to pick your brain for a feature we're working on. I don't know whether you have seen this as a pain point, but when I work in a company, a lot of times I try to launch something and need to change a DNS record. It's always a source of friction in the organization. I have to email someone or give a link to a co-worker. They have to figure out how to do it, but also whether I have a business justification for doing it. So, when we built this platform, we're trying to come up with a feature that makes it easier. Someone can send you a proposal for DNS record update…

Hello HN, After seeing all of the pushback and negative sentiment regarding GitHub and its poor reliability and everyone trying to move off of it, I decided to build this to make the transition easier. It's the second half of a two-part project. Shotgun ( https://github.com/ThatXliner/shotgun ) diffs two OpenAPI specs and auto-maps what lines up, which turns out to be 60-80% of endpoints when both APIs are in the same domain. Anvil is the opinionated result of running that on GitHub vs Forgejo and then hand-fixing everything the auto-mapping got wrong or couldn't express. Landing page with a…

I had to develop a course related to quantum chemistry and unfortunately, Claude just kept writing it in its own very annoying claude-speak. It actually cost our team a lot of time and tokens to wrestle it to just speak like a normal human. We used skills, as well as initial prompts and subagents to make sure that all of the tics were gone, but there was one too many times where it just wouldn't fix itself despite telling it in the prior prompt! I made speak-english based off of https://github.com/gvzdv/claudish-to-english/commits/main/ and it runs a qwen model on my gcp servers. It can conve…

I wrote a simple "trivia" game to get a sense about how well calibrated you are in terms of how well you know things: https://est.alejo.ch You get ten simple "what happened first" questions and give a confidence level (for each answer). The game tracks your success rates per confidence level and gives you a calibration graph/table (e.g., "you consistently over-estimate your success rate"). You can play multiple times to see aggregated statistics. After 60 games (480 questions), I found out that I am relatively well-calibrated, though I should ~never bet under 60% (for this specific type of bi…
