I've been spending a lot of time with my nephews working on Scratch and Snap. They also attend local classes and their teachers switched from Snap to this which is way simpler and stickier with my nephews: https://www.micros

Just saw your edit -- I'm afraid to open source the code before refactoring it but if you reach out at hi@kasra.codes I'll send you the full ZIP!

Sorry I don't understand, you're saying the direct providers aren't the canonical source you'd recommend? If I was running these on my own machine or GPU wouldn't the argument then be "Well you didn't use

I was using the same harness for each run, the difference is from when I was running the harness locally on my machine before I pushed up the full runs.

Great point! When I found the original exploit in an app I researched it took me around 15 minutes and some assistance from Claude. For this project I gave myself the weekend + parts of Monday, so around 20 hours of dev time — at my standar

I agree fully and hope someone else is able to do this test! For me it was a matter of cost and quotas that stopped me from changing to a new account. Also just to mention: Claude guardrails —> that session terminated. GPT guardrails -&g

Thank you for your note! As I mention in the post this is not scientific at all. I'm very curious how you would do multiple runs of multiple models in a "work alongside the model" manner?

I built a vulnerable app and spent $1,500 seeing if LLMs could hack it(kasra.blog)

Thank you! I’ve been fine tuning tiny Llama and Gemma models using transformers then exporting from the safetensors that spits out — My main use case is LLMs but I’ve also tried getting YOLO finetuned and other PyTorch models running and ra

I do a lot of AI work and right now the story for doing LLMs on iOS is very painful (but doing Whisper or etc is pretty nice) so this is existing and the API looks Swift native and great, I can't wait to use it! Question/feature r

They're anonymous usernames the app had them make and they were told don't use anything shared elsewhere and I googled and there's not any uniquely identifiable people from any of them. They seem generic enough that I think i

Yes! haha! But hopefully I have a good enough support group and connections that I'll be ok if that happens, I just really wanted to prove that they were not being honest when they said it was data prior to 2024.

Hi all, i'm the security researcher mentioned in the article -- just to be clear: 1. The leak Friday was from firebase's file storage service 2. This one is about their firebase database service also being open (up until Saturday

i've been trying to keep up with this field (image generation) so here's quick notes I took: Claude's Summary: "Normalizing flows aren't dead, they just needed modern techniques" My Summary: "Transformers

Amazing idea, do you think this should be a freeform text field the user can enter to add their own prompts to or should it be a checkbox/select on the homepage so the user can pick from a limited set?

Thank you so much!! While the transcription is technically in the API it's not a native part of the model and runs through Whisper separately, in my testing with it I often end up with a transcription that's a different language t

Thanks so much for trying it out! The realtime API is actually very cheap especially for short connections, for each user who uses it 30 minutes a day every day in a month it costs me ~$5 and I assume the average user is going to use it way

Hi! I have a WIP of this over at https://talktrainer.app/ -- I just added Dutch to it. It uses OpenAI's realtime API to simulate either a tutoring session (the speaker will revert to English to help you) or a first dat

This is super cool (i do a LOT of react native after years of doing native development) -- one thing I'd love: Adding easy upgrades, right now if I leave a RN app for a while getting it to compile on latest iOS/Android again requi

Autodesk bought EAGLE in 2016, so just about ten years between acquisition and discontinuation. EAGLE is the first PCB design app I learned (and had a harder onramp than React) so this is sad, but it is important to note that most hobbyists

love running into old friends on HN, so some very stale info from someone who hasn’t worked at SO in many years: while the job board was differentiated and nice from the programmers side, it’s really difficult to convince recruiters to use

Why would they offer him a job right before saying that? Some of it could be true, absolutely, but it seems more emotionally manipulative than anything else, to me. The CEO was mad so he said something.

This wikipedia list is missing a lot of APIs, it seems more related to products -- For example, the QPX API (which I used) was shut down this April and is nowhere in that list. Your numbers are lower than they should be.

The framework being advertised as a minimal lightweight framework and having its size compared to the biggest frameworks is a bit off-putting to me. I get that they wouldn't want to advertise their competitors, but the comparison matri

These are great recommendations, since I've never heard of the companies before :) I have a friend who recently joined Tempo Automation, who seem to be able to do this too. Sadly it seems that while in the last year or two many new com
