Show HN: Discrete6502 – one thing led to another

Disclaimer, I have not yet placed the order. But JLCPCB have so far excepted all files and config so I have 1 more button to press. If anyone see some obvious mistake please send feedback. This project grew out of curiosity. Loved the https://ift.tt/18t9Dqa project but that is on another level. Here I tried to stay "reasonable" and added a Raspberry Pico 2 W on the back to drive it all. But also, was curious if Claude could pull this off. Guess I will have to place that order to call the cards.

Ask HN: How do you figure out what you're passionate about?

I've been in tech for 15 years now. A lot of what I loved about it has changed, and I'm now at a crossroads where I have an opportunity to leave and do something else. I ended each day of my old jobs exhausted, and never had the energy to do or try the things I thought I was interested in. I am now in my mid 30s and find myself with a ton of free time. But I am finding I have no idea what I want to do. Nothing that used to interest me interests me anymore. The things I think I might like I for whatever reason don't have the energy to do or try them. I feel like I've been in survival mode for so long I dont know what my passions are. How do I find them again?

I'm torn on this. Not infrequently, some random page I saw months ago will come to mind, and I'll use browser history to find it. More infrequently, I'll go even further back than that. And just for posterity, I enjoy having it all accessible. That said, it also makes me a bit nervous having it all there, especially synced to my Firefox account, for some hypothetical hacker, or discovery process, or who knows what. Got me thinking, I wouldn't be surprised if HN is as split between history savers and deleters as I am internally. Curious how you all handle it.

Archive.[today|is|ph|il|md|etc.] has been unresponsive for the last few days. I've searched around a bit but haven't seen any reporting as to what's up with the site(s). Does anyone have any information about this? Speculation? Wild rumors?

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Open-weight OCR got so cheap I had to share it
Show HN: Open-weight OCR got so cheap I had to share it

This was not supposed to become a product. When PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 dropped, independent benchmarks put it at the top of document parsing models. I had to try it. I needed a provider, but there simply isn't one ready for production that I would trust. So i set one up myself. I assumed that even after getting it running, serving a vision-language model would be expensive. It turns out the opposite is true. Once I had it running properly, the cost was absurdly low. At proper GPU utilization, the cost is only around $1 per 1,000 pages. The nearest competitors are either much lower quality (Azure Read) or absurdly expensive (Extend or Reducto). Even Mistral OCR 4 which is really good and pretty cheap is still 4x more expensive. So I had to share it. I made the endpoitns public, and vibe-coded a simple dashboard. Let me know what you think!
