Show HN: Repo Roast – a real-time feed of the funniest comments on GitHubhttps://www.reporoast.fun/Hey HN - I'm Mason, and I'm excited to share a fun side project I've been working on recently: Repo Roast.For me, Github often feels like a serious (and sometimes soulless) place. I built this website to showcase the human, silly side of developers. Repo Roast is built on top of LLM-powered GitHub analytics tooling we’re developing internally at Merit Systems [0].One of the historically cited weak points for LLMs has been their sense of humor. I found that with the right prompt, at scale, they mostly can _identify_ humor pretty well. We experimented with a couple of different models to tune the cost/effectiveness and eventually landed on a strategy where we have gpt-4o-mini do a very light filter pass to reduce the number of calls to GPT-4o to do the actual humor scoring. Interestingly, our first prompt attempts ended up surfacing wayyy more aggressively NSFW content, which is funny that this happens despite all the censoring that OpenAI is doing.So far we have processed the last 90 daApr 9, 2025 7:10 PM

Show HN: iPhone 2005 weird "Blob Keyboard" simulatorhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43595442Hi HN,I teach tech design history, and one of the key stories I cover is the development of the original iPhone keyboard by Ken Kocienda. Reading about it in his book "Creative Selection" is great, but I wanted my students (and now you!) to actually feel this step in the process.So, I built a web simulator of the "Blob Keyboard", Kocienda's very first attempt at a touchscreen keyboard that actually works, from September 2005:Try the Blob Keyboard: https://juliendorra.github.io/blob-keyboard-simulator/blob-k...- Tap for the middle letter- Swipe left or right for the side lettersMore on the github repo: https://github.com/juliendorra/blob-keyboard-simulatorThe Blob Keyboard prototype emerged during a UX crisis for iPhone team (their software keyboard just didn't work at all, fingers being too big, and the Newton failure loomed over them), highlighting how innovation is rarely a straight path.
