This is awesome - I tried building something similar that my wife and I use. Do you support import from instagram? IMO that's what a lot of friends want give how much of cooking / recipe content is out there (and Instagram's search is atrocious)

I can't thank you enough for mentioning Agalloch! I used to listen to them so much in university but somehow completely forgot about them until I read this comment!

I'm going to lose myself to "The Mantle" this weekend (best part is that I can now learn to play these songs on guitar). Thank you so much again - you made my day!

Looks really interesting but is the entire project ~5K lines of Go in one file? Don't you find that hard to read or are you purely vibecoding this?

This project is 99.9% vibe-coded on the exe.dev platform using their Shelley Web AI Coding Agent and Claude Opus 4.5. Take that as you will.

Ah, wait - should've read the README before commenting. /facepalm

Thanks for sharing the project - will try it out!

GPT-5 12 months ago

Not much explanation yet why GPT-5 warrants a major version bump

Exactly. Too many videos - too little real data / benchmarks on the page. Will wait for vibe check from simonw and others

Eleven Music 12 months ago

I use https://moises.ai/ multiple times a week for practicing / figuring out chords being played. For the notes (say in a guitar riff), I dont know if such a thing exists

Very well said. I'm in the same boat. I'd love AI to write down a drum groove or a drum fill based on my guitar riff.

Currently, all these AI tools generate the whole song which I'm not at all interested in given songwriting is so much fun

Hey Simon, I love how you generates these summaries and share them on every model release. Do you have a quick script that allows you to do that? Would love to take a look if possible :)

Before, we browsed recipe online or watch them on youtube. Now, we just ask ChatGPT.

Even small things—if I can still eat those eggs or where to travel next—are now AI-assisted.

Both of these are true for my wife and me as well. It's incredible how valuable these LLMs are for short, quick answers in the day of SEO laden crapware on the internet.

For coding (side-projects), I find CLINE super valuable and use it quite often to get refactoring ideas.

Really good execution! I was definitely looking for something like this - so great job in working on a real problem.

I think the pricing might be a bit tricky. The free plan allows 50 photos whereas the free plan on Flickr allows 1000 photos (and no limit on albums IIRC). Can you elaborate a bit on how you plan to differentiate?

I can figure out in 5 minutes how someone is going to do. Just based on the resume alone in most cases.

Just on resume? Are you aware how easy and common it is for candidates to lie on the resume?

If you care about seeing their code ask them for a sample.

Same as above. Most candidates can't share code sample from their current/previous employer. For open source projects, it is again very easy to fake authorship.

In some cases, for pure data validation and processing, you can get performance improvements of 20x or more. This means 2,000% or more.

Amazing! Excited to try it out.

Slightly OT: But what are some use-cases where you'd still use Flask over FastAPI? I really like FastAPI's devEx and don't see myself going back to Flask anytime soon. Curious to hear what others think.

Hurl 4.0.0 3 years ago

Hurl is a command line tool powered by curl, that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format: <code sample>

This is how every new version announcement should start! I'd never heard of Hurl before and that intro + code sample on top instantly made me want to install and try it out.

Congrats on what seems like a great release
