Brutal Docs

A tool for writing on the internet.

What it does

Brutal Docs is a writing tool that does the few things writing actually needs. Words, code, diagrams, tables, checklists. Nothing else. It's a home for cloud-based multimedia notes you can keep personal, private, or password-protected; a fast, classic-internet-style blog; a simple way to share ideas, photos, and videos; and a place for technical docs and planning. What it isn't is just as deliberate: no AI bloatware, no social network, no ads.

    Hi HN. I was inspired by so many other folks also longing for a return to the old web that I put together a service to scratch my own itch: An extremely fast headline aggregator done in 1990s style HTML. Sharing it with you all for those of you that also would enjoy this now esoteric style.

  • Hey we are Computable. We spent years building trading infrastructure at Jump Trading and Coinbase. From that point of view, compute looks like energy markets before 2000: everything trades through private bilateral leases, there’s no visible price, and nothing can be resold. The same H100 rents at a 2x spread depending on who’s asking, and once you sign a 24-month lease, it can never change hands. So we built a market for GPU nodes, sold by the calendar week. Here are three things you can do on it that you can’t do anywhere else: - Buy exactly the weeks you need. Three nodes for the last…

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
