ErisForge is a Python library designed to modify Large Language Models (LLMs) by applying transformations to their internal layers. Named after Eris, the goddess of strife and discord, ErisForge allows you to alter model behavior in a controlled manner, creating both ablated and augmented versions of LLMs that respond differently to specific types of input.
It is also quite useful to perform studies on propaganda and bias in LLMs (planning to experiment with deepseek).

Hi! I'm Jax and I've been building this cool little terminal app for myself to track my expenses and budgets!
Other than challenging myself to learn Python, I built this mainly around the habit of budget tracking at the end of the day. (I tried tracking on-the-go, but the balance was always out of sync.) All data is stored in a single sqlite file, so you can export and process them all you want!
The app is built using the textual API for Python! Awesome framework which feels like I'm doi

Hey HN!
My co-founder and I have spent over a decade building mixed reality projects and have been growing more and more frustrated with the process. From the number of tools needed, to client sign-off, to the complex esoteric tech stacks. And especially how slow the iteration loop is when dealing with interactivity and UX.
Two years ago we decided to stop whining and fix the fundamental issues. Ordinary Objects [0] was built with our core needs for AR prototyping: a very tight iteration
In the early 2000s to the mid-oughts, every designer I knew wanted to be featured on the FWA, a showcase for cutting-edge web design. While many of the earlier sites were Flash-based, it’s also where I discovered the first uses of parallax, Paper.js, and Three.js. Back then, websites were meant to be explored and their interfaces discovered. https://webdesignernews.com/web-designs-next-evolution/
As we move forward on our path to learning how to become a UX designer, we must first understand the fundamental concepts that underlie this ever-changing industry. “What is a UX designer?” and “UX designer skills and responsibilities” are important components that lay the foundation for potential professionals. https://webdesignernews.com/how-to-become-a-ux-designer/
Tailwind is a utility-first CSS framework that revolutionized web development. Its streamlined approach allows for rapid styling, customization, and responsive design. Having the right Tailwind resources is crucial to maximizing its benefits and streamlining your workflow. For that, we have created a comprehensive collection of essential Tailwind resources. https://webdesignernews.com/200-tailwind-css-resources/
Like most UX design decisions, choosing the best type of navigation isn’t a one-size-fits-all verdict. It depends on your digital product, target users, and UX goals. https://webdesignernews.com/should-navigation-bars-be-sticky-or-fixed/
Starting web development can be quite exciting and very easy because the starting point, which is HTML, is extremely simple, and it gives a good momentum. However, there are some mistakes that beginners make in their web development careers, which you should avoid as a beginner. https://webdesignernews.com/mistakes-beginner-web-developers-should-avoid/
Programming hasn’t fundamentally changed since the 1940s. Most languages still follow the von Neumann paradigm: write sequential instructions and modify data in memory. Let’s look at a simple example https://webdesignernews.com/how-programming-will-look-in-the-future/
