Funny enough that this article is written with AI.

Does this mean their gaming GPUs are becoming less in demand, and therefore cheaper/more available again?

Ask HN: What are some good AI usage policies?

recvonline — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 21:37:42 +0000

I am looking into different AI usage policies in Open Source software.

One good example is Ghostty: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/blob/main/AI_POLICY.md

I just want to get inspired and get as much pros/cons as possible to form and write my own!

Show HN: Workledger – Your offline first engineering notebook

recvonline — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 18:03:31 +0000

I saw this HN thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46949814) and though to myself: I always wanted to start a proper Engineering notebook. And I didn't love any online version, and my handwriting is too slow and messy for taking notes during meetings.

Well, after reading the comments, I built this in about 6h, and probably keep developing it further.

It's Open Source as well.

Let's say.... 10 shot with Claude Code :) Initial app, then hand refined, Claude Code again...back and forth. Spend my morning doing it and it was fun. Very simple so far, want to clean it up and add more meaningful features.

EDIT: Also, turns out the in-browser Editor landscape got GOOD the last few years apparently. It's really just plug and play. I remember 5 years I tried to do this and it was painful.

Based on this thread, I decided to implement my best take on an online engineering notebook:

All local first. Happy to get some contributors :)

I started the same project end of last year and it’s true - having an LLM guide you through the setup and writing docs is a real game changer!

I just wish this post wasn’t written by an LLM! I miss the days where you can feel the nerdy joy through words across the internet.

I am using Claude 98% of the time, and using Zed as an IDE for it.

GeForce Now is a pretty good deal for people who just want to play the “Game of the Year” titles without paying 2.5k for hardware they barely use and loose its value rapidly.

Ask HN: What's the most open/hacker friendly Android phone for 2026?

recvonline — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 18:10:15 +0000

I am a long time Apple user, but their software keeps getting buggier, worse and I just want to switch. I moved all my data to self hosting solutions, so I all I need now is an Android phone which… is fun? Like Framework Computer fun.

Are there still community based OSes out which I can flash onto a phone? Last time I had an Android phone was 2013.

Same here! I built around 6 side projects this year! One literally in 1h which now serves my little community I living in (<5k people) everyday.

A fun side effects I got from this: Now I can see my ideas fully fleshed out, and realised that, a), most of these ideas are stupid and better solved by existing solutions , or b), that the code was never the problem but tweaking the UI or user facing part to really hone in the problem I am trying to solve!
