Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2025)
Now I'm learning AI/LLMs from the perspective of correctness. So far I have two 'maxims' to guide me:
- AI shines where humans struggle (for prompt engineering)
- An LLM is nothing but an API call (for software engineering with AI)
Here's a recent example of whats possible from one of our users [1], and a recent project I made for fun that you can try on your iOS [2] or Meta Quest [3] device.

Is has helped me to address all of my problems, from mental health to productivity to learning across all domains like economics, writing, coding, marketing.
Writing daily blog posts, and then piecing together everything into the book. https://www.moderncynicism.com/
Currently heavily WIP though and only has a working Go compile/test backend (Go seems particularly easy for smaller LLMs like o3-mini to work with due to being a relatively non-complex language).
Clearly all of the info space is getting ever more polluted and I just don’t trust anyone else (with their own agenda) to manage and filter that for me. If one is to abdicate that sort of responsibility to a system wholesale then I think it has to be fully under one’s control, own data, own design, self hosted etc
As part of that, I made an ADIF (ham radio logs) parser to learn go. It's more than 2x faster than parsing the same data in json format with the go standard library.

We also created some emoji fonts: https://github.com/Born2Root/Feature-Fonts
The final plugin is an equalizer which will be focused on loudness but expand the filtering to include more advanced equal loudness contours.
Also hoping to find some time to add a feature or two to my Video Hub App
