Qavvali Wiki
Hey folks — I’ve been working on this pet project for the last few months, and would love some feedback. Qavvali (or Qawwali) is a South Asian genre that I’ve been passionate about for a while, and I’d love to introduce it to as many folks as I can. There are many aspects of the genre that I love, and I can go into depth if anyone is interested. AMA — happy to reply in the comments. Meanwhile, my primary reason for sharing this here is that I’d love feedback on the website, as well as to see if anyone would be interested in helping — be it technical, or more so with curation. I’d really…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey folks — I’ve been working on this pet project for the last few months, and would love some feedback. Qavvali (or Qawwali) is a South Asian genre that I’ve been passionate about for a while, and I’d love to introduce it to as many folks as I can. There are many aspects of the genre that I love, and I can go into depth if anyone is interested. AMA — happy to reply in the comments. Meanwhile, my primary reason for sharing this here is that I’d love feedback on the website, as well as to see if anyone would be interested in helping — be it technical, or more so with curation. I’d really appreciate it. One of the core features I’ve worked on extensively is mapping lineages. The goal is to enrich the website with more reliable resources, ideally from available academic or literary sources, and compile and collate them into a one-stop place for anyone interested in the genre.

This was more of a sandbox to play with Raphael and Flot than anything else but I think there are some interesting statistics in there. It'd be awesome to do this over time but I really don't have the spare time required.

Inspired by the following post by photon_off... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1683309 I made karmurl last night. It's a simple app where you submit a URL for feedback, then for every piece of feedback you give to someone else's, you get to read one piece of feedback for yours. http://karmurl.com
- LPLearning Project: building an imperative language2020 · ▲36
Hi! I am doing a learning project, attempting to build an imperative language (and interpreter). The end product will be useless for others, I just want to learn and better understand how to build imperative languages. :) If someone else shares this interest and want to give some good hints on good resources I would be grateful. Currently I am looking at an awesome text by Bob Nystrom. All suggestions and tips on resources are most welcome. I am very much a beginner in this, but I find this topic very fascinating. Mail me or post links here! Cheers! You can try a beta version Online at…

http://hiphopblend.com The website is responsive, so check it out on tablet/mobile, too! I'm currently working on adding more features to the website. It's my first official project since I started to learn programming (PHP). I would love to get an audio player in the site, which would scrape the blogs for new audio, but I'm having some difficult getting there. I really appreciate any feedback about the site at all! A little about me: I've been making Wordpress sites at a digital agency for almost 9 months now (from scratch). A few months ago I became really interested in learning…
- FSFive.Seven.Five. - A Haiku (Poetry) Community2011 · ▲10
Hi HN, I've been reading for a few years now and thought I'd like to share my weekend project with you. Five.Seven.Five. is a place for fans of Haiku to publish, comment and share their poetry. I recently left work to start building my own web applications and thought this would be an interesting project to gear up to that. There's not a lot of content at the moment so if any other HN'ers are interested in Haiku, please feel free to sign up and publish your own Haikus. http://www.myfivesevenfive.com/ Of course, I welcome any constructive feedback and am interested to hear your thoughts.…

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…
