Show HN: Facefork – A tree interface to AI edit photos for fun

Hello HN. I made this as a fun project with AI. No accounts, sign-ups, or any strings attached. The idea: Prompt your way into having AI modifying your photos in a tree-like interface. Every edit/prompt creates a leaf node. Share the whole tree or any single picture. Uses Openrouter as a singular way to access AI image models. Bring your own key. The whole project is served as a privacy-respecting static web app. No tracking. Your photos or API key never reach the web host or any third party oth...

Ask HN: How is AI destruction of books legal?

I'm talking about Anthropic and other AI companies finding rare books, feeding their pages into the model training data, and then shredding the books afterward. They are destroying history actively. It reminds me of religious people claiming these people really are the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Surely this should be treated very harshly and stopped??? I don't want novels to disappear, especially rare ones? Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49739462 Points: 1 # C...

Configuring and Migrating to Azure Database for PostgreSQL

Why Migration and HA Are the Same Conversation Migrating a database and keeping it highly available afterward aren't two separate projects β€” they're the same discipline applied at two different moments. Both come down to the same underlying mechanism: PostgreSQL's write-ahead log (WAL) , the record of every change made to the database, streamed to wherever it needs to go β€” a standby replica for HA, a target server for migration, or a backup archive for disaster recovery. This is a granul...

GitHub Release to Zenodo DOI

Cover illustration: evolving source becomes one preserved release. A GitHub release can exist before its Zenodo archive is ready. A DOI can resolve while the metadata still misrepresents the files. A discovery service can list the record without having checked whether the software works. Treating those events as one success state makes a release difficult to reproduce and surprisingly easy to describe incorrectly. This guide follows a real software release through those boundaries. The ex...

Deploying Cloud-Native Apps with Azure Container Apps

Why Container Apps, and Not Just "Kubernetes but Managed" Azure Container Apps sits in a specific gap: more managed than AKS (no nodes to patch, no cluster to operate), but built on the same underlying primitives Kubernetes users already know β€” KEDA for event-driven autoscaling, Dapr for service-to-service patterns, and the same container image you'd deploy anywhere else. It's the right target when you want Kubernetes-shaped scaling behavior without operating a control plane. This is a gr...

DPDP Act Compliance for Fintech KYC: What Changes, and What Your Stack Needs to Handle It

India's DPDP Act doesn't replace RBI's KYC Master Directions it runs alongside them, with a different legal basis, different retention logic, and its own penalties. Here's what that means for a fintech's KYC stack, mapped to the controls that actually satisfy it. Most fintechs operating in India built their KYC stack around one rulebook: RBI's KYC Master Directions collect documents, verify identity, retain records for years, done. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 doesn't repla...

Handling Timeouts in AI Image Generation Without Blind Retries

A user clicks Generate. Your backend submits a request to an image provider, then the HTTP call times out. The provider may already be creating an image. Submitting again could create a second paid task. The code examples are simplified illustrations. A Timeout Leaves a Question Open An asynchronous generation API still has an initial HTTP exchange: submit a request and receive a task ID. That exchange can fail independently of the work it starts. A documented rejection can...

Install and set up Kubeflow for ML on EKS.

What is Kubeflow? Kubeflow is like a dedicated playground for machine learning on Kubernetes. Imagine having a magic toolbox that not only helps you build and train your models but also handles all the nitty-gritty details of deploying and scaling them in a Kubernetes environment. It's like having a personal assistant that makes sure your machine learning workflows run smoothly, letting you focus on the fun partβ€”experimenting and creating cutting-edge models. Step 1: Set Up AWS C...

My MRI interpretation vision model pointed at the right kidney and wrote "left"

I build a tool that reads MRI and CT scans with general vision models and explains the findings in plain language. The most repeated error in that pipeline isn't a missed tumour or an invented measurement. It's left and right . We ran eight real studies through four readers (Claude, Gemini, Grok and Google's MedGemma), with the radiologist's signed report as ground truth. Here's what came back: a 5 cm cyst in the right kidney, placed in the left by two of the four readers a medial ...

Loops

Why loops matter A loop is a control flow structure that executes a block of code repeatedly as long as a condition holds. They matter for three reasons: they reduce redundancy (no manually retyping the same statement), they save time and space (keeping code short and maintainable), and they handle dynamic data (processing a list or user input of any size without rewriting the code for each possible length). for loops Use a for loop when you know exactly what you're i...

Tool Descriptions Are the Contract

This series started with a claim: MCP and REST are two doors into the same kitchen. Three posts later, the comments have pushed the argument down to its foundation. One reader on dev.to said the useful test is whether both doors preserve the same auth, error, and idempotency behavior. Another warned about granularity drift and asked how anyone validates tool descriptions. Both are pointing at the same uncomfortable fact: in an MCP server, prose is load-bearing. The description decides whether th...

Building a "Find Stores Near Me" Feature with Geolocation

A "Find Stores Near Me" button looks simple: get the user's location, compare it with your stores, and show the closest results. But once you start building it, a few questions appear. How do you request location safely? How do you calculate which store is actually closest? What happens when permission is denied? And does the same approach still work with thousands of locations? Let's build the basic version in JavaScript and then look at what needs to change for production. Ho...
