I've been working on a streaming platform for musicians as a passion project for the last decade partly because the analog radio shows have become a dying breed. Web-based indie radio shows are lots of fun because they're very close to the best radio shows from my own youth when most radio DJ:s still were curators and experts in the music they played. And they have the feeling of community and genuine passion for the hobby.

There's definitely still demand for quality radio shows but I guess it just makes more money if you play whatever the big studios pay you to play. But its the same thing with television as well; many indie channels on YouTube produce MUCH better content than anything you can see on the traditional TV or Netflix.

I hope someone builds an open API around this metadata. I'd love to have alternatives to the big player APIs.

I'd say Ghostty is a pretty big success story as well.

The problem with the Small Web list is that it's English-only! They definitely need a multilingual one as well.

You're absolutely right!

Off-topic but this is one of my pet peeves of the modern web; some of the images on the page are ridiculously gigantic. We've had awesome publishing software for two decades with the very basic feature of optimizing published images but somehow nowadays it's totally acceptable to publish an article with several 10+ Mb images.

This is wild!

"when assessed by Claude 3.5 Sonnet’s production-grade RM, our unsupervised assistant policy wins 60% of head-to-head comparisons against the policy trained with the human-supervised RM." So now the models can even post-train the new models better than a human can

I used to not care that much about fire risks of cheap electric devices (apart from lithium batteries like here because they seem to be inherently volatile/dangerous) until one day few years back when a faulty wire of a $3 iPhone charger from AliExpress caught fire on my desk.

I probably wouldn't have noticed it until way too late if my cat hadn't happened to sleep next to it on the same table. He had a sudden scare of the fire and jumped quickly off the table. It looked so weird that I went and looked what he was afraid of and saw flames coming of the half-melted charger and the wire. The desk was full of paper and junk, it was seconds away from catching fire in a way that I probably couldn't put down anymore as I live in a flat and don't own a fire estinquisher. (We only have a fire blanket in the kitchen but that wouldn't have helped much.)

I will never save few bucks from charger wires or chargers or power banks like these ever again -- it's just not worth it!

That all said, don't have any experience from Anker devices myself but in my experience you typically get what you pay for when buying cheap.

Haven't seen that documentaty but unfortunately it seems to be geoblocked in Finland :(

One thing about the reply gives away why Claude is still basically clueless about Actual Thinking; it suggested me to move the HTML sanitization to the frontend. It's in the CF function because it would be trivial to bypass it in the frontend making it easy to post literally anything in the db. Even a junior developer would understand this.
