Ask HN: How to find community meetup groups?

Awesomedonut — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 17:59:55 +0000

Any recommendations on how to find community meetup groups (online and in person)? I'm specifically looking for tech stuff in SF. I know there should be so many groups for this, but I'm not sure where to start.

Thanks!

>When reality writes better satire than satirists can invent, perhaps it's time to ask some harder questions.

Oof

Isn't English a Germanic language though?

How applicable are AI pipelines to game dev? A few months ago, I worked on an iPad game (Unity) and found that AI tools were pretty bad and unhelpful. The other dev didn't use AI at all

Awesomedonut — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 16:11:36 +0000

I see lots of people online say they feel pressured to respond right away, but I've found that for my friends it's simply not the case...? There are some that respond very quickly, but most of them respond very slowly. They're really friendly when we see each other in person, but will take days to respond.

Hi all! I'm a CS undergrad senior, graduating this December. I have internship experience at two companies and have completed multiple personal projects. I also completed a practicum term where my team worked directly with a client team to fulfil their needs. My experience largely lies in web development, but I have also worked on desktop and mobile projects before.

I'm looking for any entry-level full-time software engineering position. I'm happy to talk to anyone interested!

Ads on the picture gallery is insane. How is this even allowed?

Not sure why this is downvoted, plenty of Canadians are very vocal and public with their criticism of Israel. There are protests regularly happening on the streets.

One of my favourite internet things is seeing other channels, for instance Reducible (https://www.youtube.com/@Reducible) use the framework. Everyone has their own special take on it, and it's so awesome that Grant made it OS!

New comment by Awesomedonut in "Sora 2"

Awesomedonut — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 18:39:01 +0000

Their anime vid gen is really, really impressive. The results I've seen aren't /good/ from an industry-standard (nothing compared to the likes of the Demon Slayer movie I watched in theatres recently), but I legitimately couldn't tell that it was AI-generated. Massive step up from Sora 1 and other vid gen models.

Here's to hoping that the industry will adapt to have it aid animators for in-betweening and other things that supplement production. Anime studios are infamously terrible with overworking their employees, so I legitimately see benefits coming from this tool if devs can get it to function as proper frame interpolation (where animators do the keyframes themselves and the model in-betweens).
