Show HN: Krypter – simple offline message and file encryption mobile appHi guys, here's a personal privacy app that I've been doing for a few months now.The idea is to have a secure offline way of encrypting messages and data on your device using HPKE and a selection of encryption key types, including Secure Enclave bound ones, to protect the data in transit or at rest. As in, encrypt and optionally sign, send by any means, and only have your designated recipient (or yourself) read it. Messages can be shared as deep links for one click decryption with automated quick key probing. Files - same, but via import from anywhere.No permission requests, no analytics, no accounts, no ads, no subscriptions, absolutely zero online requests. No "make your own crypto" silly things. Everything is using the iOS bundled CryptoKit. Hence the tiny size of it.Authenticated mode also supports passwords in addition to signatures. Panic PIN wipes all the keys from the app. Software keys can be securely backed up. Full plausible deniability.For example, a message can be transmit

Ask HN: Convince me to not to shelve my app (I've decided to)For context, I'm an accountant in South Africa.About a year ago I made an ad-free, free app to let people share plants with others around them for free, because there wasn't one. The goal was to get it stable and keep it online hosted at my home as a hobby (which is virtually free). Side bonus, it was also good at connecting people to share plants in their garden.A year later and it's turned into quite a crappy hobby. The app is still going but:- I just realised that it will disappear from apple's store when I let my developer sub lapse (greedy bastards!) - I chose the name poorly and now it's not available in the US after I got a C&D letter for a TM infringement (greedy bastards!) - Nigerian scammers signed up and started harassing some of the easy targets (greedy bastards!) - AI slop clone apps have already popped up, copied down to the screen layout and all (complete with the vomit inducing websites with the rainbow colours and all) (greedy bastards!)So if I want to keep this hobby

Show HN: Life Tile – Passive time tracker that shows your day as a Mondrian gridHi, I developed Life Tile for iPhone. It tracks your time passively and visualizes it as a Mondrian-style grid. It's a one-time purchase app with a 7-day trial.I was a user of a similar app named Life Cycle. Since the app hasn't been updated in a while, I tried to make a better app with my ideas and experiences. I used a big square timeline instead of a donut chart. And I added more useful views: tree-map, map, and list. You can use categorized activities with custom colors.The data never leaves a device. No account, No Server. It only supports data backup using iCloud. It was for privacy but it also makes the development easier. I added just one anonymous usage stat with TelemetryDeck. You can turn it off anytime.There were many technical difficulties. iOS location API (CLMonitor) is not 100% precise. And many difficult cases can't be handled automatically. For example, GPS blackout inside the subway, too many venues in a small region, and a huge location like an airport. So I improve

Show HN: SQL service for tables with billions of rows or up to 1M columnsHi All,March 2023. I was in touch to join a "big data" IT service company. I didn't get the job... Before the team decided I was too old, they introduced me to products I wasn't previously aware of. Since that time, I’ve been building a distributed SQL data engine. I started from 2 previous personal projects. A distributed network filesystem and a peer-to-peer Linux cluster. The goal was to manage "impossible tables": narrow tables with billions of rows or wide tables with columns by the million.My opinion was and remains this simple idea: you can orchestrate single MariaDB servers to build a global resilient and massively parallel SQL service.How SynSQL works under the hood: Storage Delegation: Physical storage is delegated to MariaDB data brokers to store table data. The data dictionary is also delegated to MariaDB master brokers (mirror managed). Wide tables are vertically sliced into chunks. Each chunk is mapped to a specific broker. You can consider a narrow table as a single chun

Doesn't OpenAI have every incentive to destroy HuggingFace?Just wondering about this, because I don't think I've seen it said plainly. Hugging Face is the place where all us home-labbing AI enthusiasts get our models from.Aka, at the end of the day, OpenAI's likely mortal enemy. It feels like no one is mentioning this point, am I missing something?

Tell HN: Namecheap gave my account to an unverified third partyI’ve been a NameCheap customer for 13 years. I’ve also helped out an old college club paying for a .com they use (that is registered to me under my name, address, and phone number). During a recent leadership transition, the incoming club lead wanted to make changes to the DNS and didn’t know to contact me. They figured out the domain name was parked at NameCheap, so they initiated a password reset using the domain name. I got a password reset email and immediately filed a NameCheap support ticket saying “I did not initiate this”. They called me to verify I was the one who filed the ticket, and then followed up with a canned email with tips like check your anti-virus.The incoming club leader was persistent though, and called NameCheap support. He convinced them the domain registered in my name and address really belonged to his club, and with no verification or validation whatsoever, NameCheap changed my password, and changed the email address associated with my account. All because so

Ask HN: Have you noticed an improvement in AI responses with memory disabled?I use Claude on the $20/mo plan, mainly for research, "rubber duckying," and as an idea soundboard (I was using Fable for this but am now relegated to Opus 4.8 or Sonnet 5), and recently noticed a severe downturn in Opus 4.8 response quality in high-context situations. To attempt to remedy this, I disabled the memory system (now labeled "Legacy" even though to my knowledge there is no replacement).With this setting disabled, aside from the slight tedium of inputting the necessary context each time for task continuations, I have noticed a drastic improvement in response quality and accuracy—I'm one of those shmucks who whined a bit after Opus 4.7 came out, and my theory is some change was made to increase memory context that resulted in a decrease in actual response quality. In general, I wonder if the high-context abilities of SOTA thinking models are overstated.As a brief anecdote, I was working through a research task with upwards of 30 prompts. Switching to a new chat and condensing

Show HN: Chrome Plugin to Scan HN Page Quickly. (Categorize with Local Model)Recently I started spending more time reading HN posts, and engaging. Wanted to scan HN pages faster ,that rosonates to me.For me it is easy to grasp if they are in the order of software stack (Hardware, System, Infrastructure, apps, and so on ).Built this chrome plugin that uses Gemini model, to classify. It works but, classification still not great. It is built using claude code cli.on my Mac book pro, Gemini nano model loading takes around 11 seconds, and classification it self takes around 5 seconds. (if sub classification enabled it adds 6 more seconds approx). Model loaded in background thread. And unloads, if not used after 30 seconds. I would say still not pretty usable, without optimized classification time, but it works, to experiment with.

Show HN: Find undervalued bikes near you with MLHi HN-Sharing a project that initially started to help me scratch my itch for carbon bike parts (mountain bike wheels in my case).There's lots of different forums for finding used bikes, and even as an experienced cyclist it's hard to wade through all of them and compare bikes with custom parts to evaluate a good deal.bike.broker helps by letting you get a price prediction for a used bike, which takes into consideration the upgrades/custom parts. This is in comparison to https://www.bicyclebluebook.com/ which is purely model/brand/age based (and has a reselling business which potentially biases their numbers).I built this by: - collecting historical sold ads from across the web - training+validating a multimodal deep learning model on this dataset (BERT + tabular features). ~18% MAPE on a >80K ad sample test set across all bike types. - exposing as a chat interface for maximum flexibility (yes, a dashboard would could be more effective for this but I wanted to minimize data exposure)Li

Show HN: Hosted PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 APIWe do a lot of document processing, and PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 is one of the best open models we've used. We wanted to use it as an api, but couldn't find anyone hosting it. so we started hosting it ourselves, but to get full utilization on the GPUs, we decided to let others use it as well.If we did the pricing math right (which I hope we did), it should be the cheapest OCR there is, at just $0.001/page. Let us know if you find it useful
