Tell HN: LLMs allow amateurs to build simple software

Thu, 10/31/2024 - 6:12am

This may not be exactly news among professionals, but for me, as an amateur programmer, it is: I just built two simple Chrome extensions with Claude that worked like a charm on the first attempt! I tried to build the same extensions some months ago, but despite the code looking good (I have built a couple of Chrome extensions 'by hand' myself), I didn't manage to debug them. It's game-changing!

Show HN: Samsar One Version One is now live

Thu, 10/31/2024 - 6:06am

Hi all, 6 months ago I started building out an app which combines all the SoTA gen-ai models out there into one platform which anyone could use to create 2-4 min long videos starting from scratch, starting from an idea. I received a ton of feedback from HN community & others along the way. Today excited to announce version one of app.samsar.one, a platform which allows anyone to easily and consistently create long, coherent and consistent generative-ai videos while picking and choosing their model starting from merely an idea.

Show HN: Tonbo 0.2.0-Durable Objects on S3 and Local Disk with Python

Thu, 10/31/2024 - 6:02am

Hi HN, we've just released Tonbo 0.2.0, now supporting S3 remote storage and Python bindings.

Tonbo is an edge-first embedded database using Arrow and Parquet, built in Rust for OLAP workloads.

While S3 is gaining a lot of attention, I wanted to share why we prioritized Python APIs.

On centralized servers, distributed and scaling data storage are relatively straightforward, but they become challenging on a local device like a laptop. Meanwhile most of the solusions are too complicated for an experiment or your intuition.

Python support leverages its popularity in scientific computing, AI, and data analysis, simplifying local data-intensive app development.

Python bindings offer an ORM-like experience, enabling developers to focus on features.

We also plan to add WebAssembly support in the future. What do you think? We'd love to hear your feedback.

Tonbo performs well; see our benchmark: https://github.com/tonbo-io/tonbo/pull/198

Why use Tonbo to store data on S3?

Tonbo will provides a unified storage solution on S3, enable SQLite and PostgreSQL to act as stateless query engines.

Stay tuned!

Ask HN: Where to start when creating a programming language?

Thu, 10/31/2024 - 5:59am

I've been a programmer for more than 5 years and during that time I've already developed a few small things, but now I want to start understanding in depth what a programming language is and how it works, but I don't even know where to start. If anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it.

Ask HN: The Enshittification of Boingboing.net(?)

Thu, 10/31/2024 - 5:54am

I could post a bitter complaint here how it has become impossible to post comments on boingboing.net since their latest move to Substack, how you keep running around in circles, how clicking on the "comment on Substack" link at the bottom of articles just leads you to an overview page with commenting functionality in sight, how clicking on any article in the overview tells you to send money to Nigeria, whatever. But I am confident I am not the only reader of HN who has experienced this and I thought we might want to discuss the topic:

Why has BoingBoing.Net enshittified itself?
