New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: GPTMinus1 – Fool OpenAIs AI Detector by Randomly Replacing Words

Show HN: GPTMinus1 – Fool OpenAIs AI Detector by Randomly Replacing Words 5 by bilater | 0 comments on Hacker News. This is a joke before anyone gets too worked up. The algo is a simple one which goes and replaces random words with their synonyms. It will obviously beat these AI detectors but the output isn't probably what you would want. The point stands though that more sophisticated approaches that rephrase or mix up the word distribution will be able to throw off the detector and it should not be relied on exclusively for, say, checking if a student assignment is AI generated.

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: KnifeGeek – Online Database of Pocket Knives

Show HN: KnifeGeek – Online Database of Pocket Knives 2 by ICodeSometimes | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN! About a year ago i stumbled upon the world of swords, knives, and EDC gear. A weirdly addicting (and expensive) hobby to have. Back then i noticed something, it was quite tedious to easily sift and search through knives based on length, steel, brand, and what not to find the knife for me. There were some great youtube channels that helped me pick out what i wanted however i had to sit through multiple 30 minute videos just to review 10-15 knives or so each. Recently i've been having a little trouble sleeping so i decided to pickup a new passion project to work on late at night, here's KnifeGeek! it's a completely free website where you can search, filter, and sift through an extensive knife database (over 60K+ knives) and add them to your collection or wishlist. You do need to sign in to add stuff to your wishlist or collection and after a bunch of advanced sear...

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Merit – Career mentorship for tech workers

Show HN: Merit – Career mentorship for tech workers 25 by rbrown | 5 comments on Hacker News. Hello Hacker News! I built a free service where you can schedule 1:1 video mentorship calls with senior ICs and managers in software engineering, product management, and design. The goal is to remove barriers to building a professional network that can help you grow your career like building skills and getting referrals. Right now we’re limited to folks living or working in the US or Canada, but we’re working on expanding beyond that one day. Without logging in, you can browse mentors here: https://ift.tt/UJ5ZKhx Between tech layoffs, hybrid work, and an uncertain industry outlook, I hope this can be a useful resource for you or someone you know, especially if you do not have a large professional network. I would love to hear your feedback!

Show HN: Train CIFAR10 to 94% in under 10 seconds on a single A100, world record 15 by tysam_and | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hi, My career is currently in this field, and I created this project as (effectively, among other things) a living resume, and to also be a really great workbench for hacking/experimenting on different methods. Testing and getting a feel for how different methods work within this framework is truly a delight, and quite simple/fast. Additionally, generally speaking, many of the mathematical concepts should transfer, so this (for me) has been a really great proving grounds in testing out how something might work in a different place in the real world. We hope to get under 2 seconds of training time (for 94%) within about two years or so, so stay tuned for updates as we continue to push more changes that take us faster and faster than our starting point of ~18.1 seconds or so. By the way, this architecture and training hyperparameters do indeed scale well, just ...

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Peer Review Beta – GitHub plus StackExchange for Scholarly Publishing

Show HN: Peer Review Beta – GitHub plus StackExchange for Scholarly Publishing 3 by dbingham | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, I've had the idea for a scholarly publishing site that could crowdsource the work of the journals using concepts borrowed from Github and StackExchange and recombined for years. I finally got enough runway to take about 6 months off of work to build it. This is the result. It's still in beta, but the core MVP features - review, reputation, responses - are all there. I'm sure there are as yet to be found bugs, because I'm on my own and I've always been terrible at testing my own stuff. Right now it's best treated as non-archival pre-prints with review. I'm starting my next full time role on Monday, so I'll be carrying it forward as a side project. I'm going to continue working on it, albeit more slowly and on nights and weekends. It's open source and with an open roadmap, and I would welcome collaborators. I would lov...

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: A.I. Runner

Show HN: A.I. Runner 2 by w4ffl35 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Several months ago I released a pay version of my software A.I. Runner but quickly pulled it due to some technical issues. I also didn't care for the architecture (a .net form app running a python server and communicating over a socket). I reworked the application and have relaunched it today. It is written in pure python and has a number of features that the previous version lacked. Current features are txt2img, img2img, inpaint, outpaint, an image gallery, an editable huggingface model db, sprite mode (for easy pixel sprite creation - the whole reason I started the app in the first place) an infinite canvas for outpainting and more. I have released it as a free application and would appreciate any feedback. I recommend installing with the itch.io launcher as this will allow you to easily check for updates.

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: I made a site that automatically unsubscribes you from unread emails

Show HN: I made a site that automatically unsubscribes you from unread emails 6 by Swalden123 | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hi Guys, I'm Spencer and recently built AutoUnsubscribe to keep on top of my email subscriptions. The basic idea is: Automatically unsubscribe from unwanted emails that you never open, so you can focus on the emails that matter, saving yourself time and effort. I find overtime I accumulate hundreds of email subscriptions accidentally, especially when I ran an ecommerce business where our emails seemed to end up on all our suppliers, and their suppliers mailing lists. Some people stay on top of unsubscribing easily, however it's something I've always struggled with, especially having ADHD. I wanted a way to stop my inboxes getting out of control without me having to do anything so I built this app. An added bonus is it helps you unsubscribe from subscriptions you were on the fence about unsubscribing too, as it points out you have not even opened them...

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: A tool to design and run user state machines

Show HN: A tool to design and run user state machines 4 by joemckenney | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi everyone, I’m Joe, CTO at Dopt. We’re building a tool that lets you design user state machines with an SDK so that you can run them in your product. We offer a React SDK that lets you create instances of those machines for any user of your product and exposes methods for transitioning the state of the user—effectively moving them through the machine. Dopt then acts as a persistence layer for the users’ machine state. We call our machines “flows”. Dopt lets you send in data about your users (identify calls/properties) and lets non-devs define rules based on that data for which users should enter the flows. Non-devs can also update content and other custom properties that can be referenced via the SDK. For example, with Dopt’s SDK you can build: - a multi-step, interactive product walkthrough that helps users learn how to use a product by using it ( https://ift.tt/f4b1dkU ) -a gettin...

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Open-source support bot for Discord

Show HN: Open-source support bot for Discord 3 by 0xjfan | 0 comments on Hacker News. Many companies have a public Discord where people ask questions. Sometimes those questions are dumb and can be easily answered by reading the support documents. So we built a bot that does 3 things: 1. Uses FAISS to index public support documents provided as URLs 2. Monitors a Discord channel for questions, prefixed with !help 3. Responds to questions with its best guess of the right answer and cites its source document(s), using Data Augmented Generation from LangChain It won’t be right all of the time, but if people find it helpful we’ll make it better. Take a look at the repo and give us some suggestions of how to improve it, or put up a PR!

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Making an open source project regrouping the most interesting AI APIs

Show HN: Making an open source project regrouping the most interesting AI APIs 2 by samyai | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi, I'm working on a project that regroups all best AI (AIaaS) from different providers (GCP, AWS, Azure, DeepL, etc.) in one API ( https://ift.tt/vpYHru7 ). I've got asked the question : why aren't you regrouping Open Source models (instead of proprietary APIs) into one repo? Well because it doesn't make sens to deploy and maintain large pytorch (or other framework) AI models (especially for document parsing, image and video moderation or speech recognition) in every solution that wants AI capabilities. So using APIs makes way more sens. Deployed OpenSource models are being included using different APIs like HuggingFace and other equivalents. The current plan is to add some of these AI capabilities into n8n automation ( https://ift.tt/03so59t ) and Odoo App ( https://ift.tt/3PmoOqK ) (receipt, resume and ID document parsing, content moderation and ...

And it's a single public domain c file, though you need node and the copilot extension files to run the copilot agent. (And a copilot subscription.)

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Codex – Find and Replace for Code

Show HN: Codex – Find and Replace for Code 6 by gushogg-blake | 2 comments on Hacker News. Most code editors' find & replace features are still very close to the original design intended for text documents, so they become unwieldy when you need to match across newlines and indentation for example, or when a parse of the code is necessary to capture a particular expression. Codex ( https://ift.tt/vLUPReH ) is an attempt to rethink what find & replace should look like in a modern code editor. It defines a simple but powerful syntax for describing code modifications, combining plain text, regular expressions and Tree-sitter queries, along with sensible handling of newlines and indentation*. It can be used just like regular plain text find & replace, but allows freely mixing in regexes and Tree-sitter queries as more flexibility is needed. It introduces "line quantifiers" for matching a bunch of lines at the same nesting level, so basic structural changes can b...

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Columnar store for fast, lightweight logging

Show HN: Columnar store for fast, lightweight logging 6 by tiwarinitish86 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Founder here, Parseable is a lightweight log ingestion and query engine written in Rust. Parseable can ingest data from existing logging agents (FluentBit, LogStash, Vector, syslog-ng and more) using HTTP + JSON output. Ingested logs are stored as semi-indexed Parquet files (on disk or S3). You can query the data with builtin query engine using SQL or use a query engines of choice like Spark, Presto, Trino and so on. We also developed a Grafana data source plugin that lets you visualise log data via Grafana. Sample dashboard link in readme. As log data grew, our industry has responded with SaaS and fully managed offerings, but if you're looking for freedom, interoperability and full control over your data - there are no great options. With Parseable, we are looking to provide an strong, viable and FOSS alternative.

With an expensive Quest Pro you could capture your facial expressions using the headset's eye and face-tracking features. Thanks for checking this project out!

This includes platforms that GitHub Actions don't natively support. It currently supports FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD. OpenBSD can run on x86-64 and ARM64, the other operating systems run on x86-64. Some of the features that are supported include: * Multiple operating system with one single action * Multiple versions of each operating system * Allows to use default shell or Bash shell * Low boot overhead * Fast execution * Runs on both macOS and Linux runners Compared to similar solutions like https://ift.tt/RP9Ni1b , the boot time is around a fifth and the full execution time for the same job is around half of freebsd-vm (last time I tried). The readme contains more information about how it all works under the hood.

Show HN: Caff.ai a Caffeine Manager for better sleep and more energy 4 by pabrai | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, I often don't know if I can have a coffee at 2pm and started logging my caffeine intake so I wouldn't be up until 2am. For me it was never as easy as a cut off time (ie stop coffee at 1pm) because I vary the amount and timing of my coffee day to day. I made an app that helps you stay in your custom 'daytime target range' and under your 'bedtime target' caffeine level. It can predict how much caffeine you'll have at bedtime and tell you what time your caffeine will be below a configurable sleepable level. I also added a feature that gives you a notification 30 minutes before you can have your last cup of coffee and still be under your bedtime target at bedtime. This helps you stay maximally caffeinated while minimizing the negative effects. I have over 600 drinks in my drinks list, and I'd appreciate any feature suggestions or tangentia...

So, I built an online self-paced training course on difficult conversations (think feedback, salary negotiation, etc) that I wanted to share with the community. I like to make my training courses more "algorithmic." A process you can follow to approach a Difficult Conversation, get in the right mindset to tackle it, and prepare what you need to that allows you to do it well. This course will teach you: - What Difficult Conversations are and what happens when you ignore them - Why having Difficult Conversations can be beneficial to you, your team, and your career - A framework (and accompanying worksheet) to help you prepare for Difficult Conversations

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Group accountability for atomic habits (iOS)

Show HN: Group accountability for atomic habits (iOS) 2 by junetic | 0 comments on Hacker News. I started this project by running 10-day group challenges on Whatsapp. The group was gathered via a Webflow landing page, Google forms, Zapier and a PayPal button (here’s what I posted on HN at that time - https://ift.tt/kfjI3Z9 ). The WhatsApp challenges turned out to be a hit with over 85% checking in daily and 45% repaying to join multiple challenges. After having tried Streaks, Habitify, GTD, reminder apps, google calendar, Notion...etc—I was still having trouble staying consistent with my personal/wellness goals and habits. Methods from Atomic Habits by James Clear—are what worked best for me—but sticking to it alone was hard. For example, I had a daily push-up reminder on my google calendar that I ignored for almost a year. Fast forward, I’m now on day 120+ doing push-ups, meditation and waking up before 6am—after participating in group accountability challenges :) To see if we can ...

Hey everyone, We know how hard it can be to ramp up and learn the ins and outs of a new company. - “Who should I talk to about customer onboarding?” - “What was that project the onboarding team shipped in June, that had a massive impact on step 3 completion rate?” Instead of asking someone the same question that’s been asked hundreds of times before, it’s more efficient to find answers in existing documents and past conversations. The problem is, this data is spread out across dozens of workplace apps, with search features that all work differently. That’s why we’ve created Sleuth, an open source library that allows you to search through your company’s entire history using natural language. It understands the intent of your question, not just the keywords. Here’s a demo: https://ift.tt/cbI6gXl You can fork our repo ( https://ift.tt/LolSy23 ) and try it right now, or book a 1...

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Fern, a language for defining REST APIs that compiles into OpenAPI

Show HN: Fern, a language for defining REST APIs that compiles into OpenAPI 4 by zachkirsch | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, this is Danny, Deep, and Zach. We built Fern after our previous ed tech startup failed. We were frustrated with how much time we spent writing “API code” instead of working on the actual product. We tried to use OpenAPI but we were underwhelmed - the generated code wasn’t idiomatic and it still required manual work (custom templates, scripts, manually publishing SDKs to registries). The Fern compiler takes your API as input and invokes generators that output things like: SDKs, server code, a Postman collection, and an OpenAPI spec. Some technical highlights about the compiler + generators: - The compiler (available as a CLI) handles syntactic + semantic validation. It also includes a linter that encodes best practices. If your API Definition compiles, you can have high confidence that the SDKs will generate correctly. - After all the parsing and validation,...

If you use the excellent Syncthing[1], you may quickly be lost in the various shares between devices. I was. This was the trigger to write a small application that creates a map of your devices, their folders, and how each is shared. It is directly based on the configuration file of each device. The stable version[2] generates a HTML file you can render in a browser to show the map (based on mermaid.js[3]). I just released an experimental feature[4] that starts a web server which will dynamically create the map based on configurations shared by the devices. Binaries are available as well[5].

I've been working on a code editor and I think that it's mature enough to catch some interest. It's using a custom GPU accelerated GUI written in C++. Currently implements some interesting features: LSP, terminal, auto-completion, linters, formatters, custom keybindings, plugins and more. It's a hobby project but still intends to be an alternative to other popular code editors like Sublime, Kate, Lapce, Lite XL (and takes inspiration from them). The project was born as a playground for the GUI I'm developing (eepp GUI) and is advanced enough to currently be my main code editor, but it's a work in progress, and many features are still pending.

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: PipeScore – FOSS Bagpipe Notation Software

Show HN: PipeScore – FOSS Bagpipe Notation Software 2 by ArchieMaclean | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've been working on some version of this since May 2019. It is a web app that allows writing out music for the Highland bagpipe. While it uses the same notation as normal music, bagpipe music tends to have a greater focus on gracenotes (embellishments). Most music software does not deal with this very well (e.g. MuseScore just displays a list of every single possible embellishment, of which there are hundreds [1]). PipeScore instead takes advantage of the fact that the form of many embellishments is dependent on the notes adjacent to it, allowing it to reduce the number of options down to just 13.

I'm running several voice-only virtual coffee events on the Discord server in the URL, only for today. The rules are pretty simple: 1. Wait for the "event" to start (see times at the end) 2. If there are no tables with 1 participant, join any one. 3. If there is a table with 1 participant, join that one. 4. When the event ends, all the voice channels are deleted and you have to wait till the next event starts. I initially wanted to build my own web app but then I realised it would be so much easier to just leverage Discord's infrastructure. I also built a bot in a couple hundred lines of Go code (love the language!) to bulk create/delete voice channels. I intentionally left it super basic to validate if there's a need.

Previous to founding Usage, I worked at JPMorgan Chase as a summer analyst. Here's how it works: We are typically brought in by a DevOps manager to cut AWS EC2 costs. The app is entirely self-service and the savings are generated automatically, typically we do this live on a call. On average, we reduce AWS EC2 spend by 50% for 5 minutes of work. To reduce by 50%+, we've built a pool of reserved instances that's shared across our pool of customers. When a customer scales up their EC2s, Usage buys RIs. When a customer scales down their EC2s, Usage sel...

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: ACOS: Build and share competitive turn-based browser games

Show HN: ACOS: Build and share competitive turn-based browser games 3 by JoeOfTexas | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi everyone, This is a little tech demo I've been working on the past 2 years. It's been up for 1 year now, and has since had a few major updates. I have a soft spot for games with ranking systems, and I wanted an easy way for developers to create games with the competitive element abstracted away. The current games are built with ReactJS, so it's pretty easy to onboard if you are a web developer. All games developed for ACOS come with these features: - Real-time turn-based for browser - Simulator for game development - Client / Server architecture - Easy multiplayer with simple JSON game state update - Single player, Team-based, Battle Royale, and Free-for-all games supported - Matchmaking for Rank / Casual play - Room Scoreboard - Game Replays of every match - Error Logs - Global Rankings - Global Top Scores - GitHub Integration with acosgames organization -...

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: List of Stripe Alternatives

Show HN: List of Stripe Alternatives 14 by NetOpWibby | 3 comments on Hacker News. Seems like every time there's a negative Stripe story on here, the inevitable question, "any alternatives?" gets asked. Hell, I was tempted to ask myself. Instead, I decided to search hn.algolia.com to see for myself what others have recommended in the past. Might as well share the list with y'all, make it meta. -- 2Checkout | https://ift.tt/Ghsmep3 Adyen | https://www.adyen.com Amazon Pay | https://pay.amazon.com Authorize.net | https://ift.tt/GDKhiP9 Balance | https://ift.tt/sJeLtHz Braintree | https://ift.tt/KF51tmN ChargeBee | https://ift.tt/l7vtXFo Chargify | https://ift.tt/0Q1EJKH Checkout.com | https://ift.tt/gfqtT3u DigitalRiver | https://ift.tt/aJzXnGj Dwolla | https://www.dwolla.com FastSpring | https://fastspring.com GoCardless | https://gocardless.com MangoPay | https://ift.tt/WpsI4lx Mollie | https://www.mollie.com Opayo (previously SagePay) | https://www.opayo.co.uk Pad...

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Ello (YC W20) – AI-reading tutor for kids that works with real books

Show HN: Ello (YC W20) – AI-reading tutor for kids that works with real books 4 by tomsayer | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, We’re Elizabeth, Catalin, and Tom - the founders of Ello ( https://ift.tt/F69RqN8 ). Ello is an AI-powered app that mimics the one-on-one interaction of a reading tutor by listening to, encouraging, and coaching kids grade K-3 as they read out loud from a real book. We posted on HN back in 2020 when we launched Trustle, a company designed to pair families with dedicated experts in child development. We learned from that experience that parents don’t want a consultant, but they do want actual help with specific challenges—one of the biggest being reading. Prior to COVID, 65% of 4th graders in the U.S. were reading behind level. The most recent National Assessment of Educational Progress report revealed that reading levels have dropped even further, to the lowest level since 1992. These disheartening statistics reinforce something we learned during our time a...
