Hologram, photo management and culling built with Tauri
Hello Hacker News photographers! Yes, this is essentially my take on photo colling and management, similar to the features that Lightroom and Darktable already have. Because I shoot in JPEG+RAW, my workflow looks like me going through my JPEG images and then eliminating the JPEGs I don't like afterwards in addition to their corresponding RAWs. At least on my old MacBook, the JPEGs were faster to load than the RAW photos (probably a combination of CR2, the file my EOS 40D, not having embedded JPEG previews and my buggy macOS version). Hologram would be my way of making this workflow easier to…

In the maker’s words, at launch
Hello Hacker News photographers! Yes, this is essentially my take on photo colling and management, similar to the features that Lightroom and Darktable already have. Because I shoot in JPEG+RAW, my workflow looks like me going through my JPEG images and then eliminating the JPEGs I don't like afterwards in addition to their corresponding RAWs. At least on my old MacBook, the JPEGs were faster to load than the RAW photos (probably a combination of CR2, the file my EOS 40D, not having embedded JPEG previews and my buggy macOS version). Hologram would be my way of making this workflow easier to do, especially with keyboard shortcuts. I also never liked the star-based system on Lightroom or Darktable, so I implemented Pick and Reject instead (which matches what I would otherwise do with deleting photos to my system trash when I cull in the Finder app) Anyways, with my new R7 I found that bursts got more annoying to cull so I decided to create autocull on Hologram as well. This would analyze your photos and help you suggest which photos in a burst to keep, or which photos to keep in a shoot in general. Currently, this is not notarized or whatever, but let me know what you guys think.

- IMI made presets for Darktable which mimic Fujifilm's Film SimulationsJan 2026 · jssfr.de · ▲6
Fujifilm cameras make really beautiful JPEGs thanks to their Film Simulation feature (where they mimic the look of certain analogue film types), but sometimes I want to do things for which you need the RAW files (like sharpening or local contrast effects or white balance fixes or whatever else would suffer under 8-bit/channel and/or JPEG artifacts). darktable is my RAW editor of choice, but it doesn't make your edits look like the out-of-camera JPEGs by default. Quite the contrary, the defaults generally need some love to bring out a nice edit of an image. To solve (pun intended)…

- ASApple's SHARP running in the browser via ONNX runtime webMay 2026 · github.com · ▲185
Hi HN, author here. SHARP is Apple's recent single-image 3D Gaussian splatting model (https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.10685). Their reference code is PyTorch + a pretty heavy pipeline; I wanted to see if it could run in a browser with no server hop, so I exported the predictor to ONNX and ran it via onnxruntime-web with the WebGPU EP. What works: drop in an image, get a .ply you can download or preview live, all on your machine — your image never leaves the tab. The model is large (~2.4 GB sidecar) so first load is slow on a cold cache, but inference itself is a few seconds on…

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…
