Ask HN: What types of alternative communities have you seen work or not and why?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49395758I’ve always been interested in alternatives to the discrete, isolated mode of living that most Westerners are familiar with. Think an individual, couple, or nuclear family living on their own property without sharing resources with neighbours or extended family.There are a wide range of alternatives out there, from multigenerational households to ‘intentional’ communities of over 1000 people. Some of the larger examples include urban communities like Christiania in Amsterdam or Hunziker Areal in Zurich and of course the more traditional rural communes - often founded during the counter-culture revolution of the late 60s and 70s. Most examples that I’m aware of have some kind of ‘intention’ other than simply existing. Things like low energy use (e.g. so called 2000 watt societies like Hunziker Areal), shared religious or spiritual beliefs, or some other foundational principals like concern for the environment. Another thing that a lot of these communities often share is some kind of ent

Ask HN: Just saw a YC25 job posting front page that looks like a 7-day work weekhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49395700This is on the front page right now: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/salespatriot/jobs/M46X6YX-forward-deployed-engineerSome notable things:a.

Show HN: Flight Ledger – Track your flights, what they cost, and United statushttps://app.flightledger.netHello HN,Flight Ledger is a private ledger of your flights, focused on (but not limited to) the United Airlines ecosystem. I am a physicist who has been based near two United hubs, first SFO and now IAH, and I fly United a lot, mostly for work.I built this app to track my flights, flight expenses, and Premier status qualification without having to log into various accounts. All the imports (such as MileagePlus activity csv, .eml receipts, or Flighty/myFlightRadar24 exports) and data filling are manual.A primary feature is that the app requires no sign-up and has no backend. Everything is stored locally, using SQLite and WebAssembly. This means that frequent back-ups are advisable to avoid losing data. For more robust backups and multi-device sync, the app also supports sync via Google Drive. I use this option for myself, but would be curious about other possible solutions.Perhaps the main features that differentiate it from other apps are that the app tracks costs and metrics like CPM

Show HN: ChickenButt a Native GTK Chat Client for Ollama on Linuxhttps://www.chickenbutt.dev/What's up, ChickenButt?I made a free, native GTK client called ChickenButt. :)It lets you chat with local models through Ollama, and I figured some of you might get a kick out of it.Here's the repo: https://github.com/pixelhackstudios/ChickenButtI've always hated reading long text in the terminal, and I couldn't find anything that ran locally that allowed me to get quick answers from LLMs when I needed them.Also, not everyone has access to the frontier models and whatnot, so I thought helping people who only have access to more cost-effective AI would be a fun way to contribute to the FOSS community. So, I built ChickenButt!It was really fun to build, and I wanted to share it.Enjoy! :)
