New comment by callbacked in "Show HN: Embe Bot - An Automatic Embeds Fixer for Discord"

callbacked — Sun, 28 Dec 2025 11:37:30 +0000

Discord's embeds for social media links are annoying. TikTok videos show as static images at times. Instagram Reels lose the video entirely and it sends as a thumbnail image. Twitter embeds are hit or miss (or used to be, it has improved).

Embebot automatically detects these links and replies with upgraded versions using services like vxtwitter, vxtiktok, and ddinstagram – which actually embed the video inline with a proper player.

Built on Cloudflare Workers using Durable Objects w/ a SvelteKit dashboard. Server admins can toggle platforms on/off and customize which embed service to use.

  Repo: github.com/callbacked/embebot-cf

This is actually a rewrite to a Cloudflare workers friendly version of my bot since it was written in Go, packaged via Docker and hosted on my homelab, but I've been too busy tending to my homelab and want to host it on more reliable infra.

These demos whether good or bad go in meta's favor I think

Successful demo? sweet! people will rave about it for a bit

Catastrophic failure? sweet! people will still talk about it and for even longer now!

Awesome list, any chance of adding OpenRouter? Looking at their website seems like it would be a pain to scrape all of that due to the site's layout.

New comment by callbacked in "Qwen3-Coder: Agentic coding in the world"

callbacked — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 08:33:29 +0000

30B-A3B works extremely well as a generalist chat model when you pair with scaffolding such as web search. It's fast (for me) using my workstation at home running a 5070 + 128GB of DDR4 3200 RAM @ ~28 tok/s. Love MoE models.

Sadly it falls short during real world coding usage, but fingers crossed that a similarly sized coder variant of Qwen 3 can fill in that gap for me.

This is my script for the Q4_K_XL version from unsloth at 45k context:

llama-server.exe --host 0.0.0.0 --no-webui --alias "Qwen3-30B-A3B-Q4_K_XL" --model "F:\models\unsloth\Qwen3-30B-A3B-128K-GGUF\Qwen3-30B-A3B-128K-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf" --ctx-size 45000 --n-gpu-layers 99 --slots --metrics --batch-size 2048 --ubatch-size 2048 --temp 0.6 --top-p 0.95 --min-p 0 --presence-penalty 1.5 --repeat-penalty 1.1 --jinja --reasoning-format deepseek --cache-type-k q8_0 --cache-type-v q8_0 --flash-attn --no-mmap --threads 8 --cache-reuse 256 --override-tensor "blk\.([0-9][02468])\.ffn_._exps\.=CPU"

Hi, I'm Alex. I'm a year post grad from CS, still looking for work. I have been biding my time by doing a variety of projects to keep busy and learn new things. Prior to this, I have done systems administration, where I managed on prem Windows servers, Hyper-V, and networking hardware for some school districts where I have studied. In my spare time, I run my own Linux homelab using Docker, Ansible, and Grafana. I use it to self-host my projects (among other things), which include a full-stack Reddit marketplace monitor with its own CI/CD pipeline. I'm a generalist who enjoys working from the infrastructure up to the application.

Honestly? I'm not picky (never was). I don't mind a chance working anywhere.

Show HN: Vela – An LLM Client for the PS Vita

callbacked — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 13:33:24 +0000

Hello all, awhile back I had ported llama2.c on the PS Vita for on-device inference using the TinyStories 260K & 15M checkpoints. Was a cool and fun concept to work on, but it wasn't too practical in the end.

So in the spirit of "doing things because you can", I have made a full fledged LLM client for the Vita. You can even use the camera to take photos to send to models that support vision. I'm happy with how it all turned out. It isn't perfect, as LLMs like to display messages in fancy ways like using TeX and markdown formatting, so it shows that in its raw form. The Vita can't even do emojis!

You can download the vpk in the releases section of the repo. Throw in an endpoint and try it yourself! (If using an API key, I hope you are very patient in typing that out manually)

surely on an iPhone that has the checkm8 hardware vulnerability available, one could jailbreak the device, install a codesigning bypass plugin on it, then develop and sideload their app without the whole "pay apple $99/yr to keep your sideloaded app on your phone" thing?

Show HN: An LLM Running on a PS Vita

callbacked — Sun, 15 Jun 2025 02:14:00 +0000

Hello all, a couple of moons ago I ported karpathy's llama2.c code to run inference on the TinyStories 260K & 15M checkpoints on the on the PS Vita with the ability to download/delete the models on device.

Runs showed that the 260K model ran at ~120 tok/s and at 15M ran at 1.8 tok/s, which probably could be a bit higher if it weren't a single threaded application. Had fun working on it as a weekend project, check it out for yourselves: https://github.com/callbacked/psvita-llm
