We provide a second opinion service with certified human radiologists, if anyone's interested: https://expert.med

Great that this exists, and a shame that it'll probably never get a similar level of attention from funders, participants, or the press.

It is true that a large portion of the tablets are probably going to be boring (bills, records, etc). But we mustn't forget that the tablets we have excavated and translated so far…

I'm a big fan of the Vesuvius challenge (and Graeco-Roman history/philosophy) but I'm not convinced if the effort justifies the reward here, relative to other pockets of ancient wr…

hey HN, happy Monday! I got sick of receiving personal messages that were clearly written by AI, so I vibe-coded a pastebin-like service that allows authors to electively prove the…

Hey HN, We’re Amin and Parsa, and we’re excited to share DataKit, a fully in-browser data analysis platform that lets you work with large datasets directly in a browser tab, with n…

I just finished reading da Vinci's biography by Walter Isaacson, which left me with a different sense of what it means to finish a piece of work. He famously never "finished" anyth…

I built a very similar extension [1] a couple of months ago that supports a wide range of models, including Claude, and enables them to take control of a user's browser using tools…

Shocking no one has mentioned Jian Yang's hotdog app :) [1] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWwCK95X6go&ab_channel=Felix Love the simplicity of this.

I wonder if the same would also be true for immunosuppressants administered for autoimmune conditions. Given they mostly interact with the signaling pathways, I guess in theory the…

Good analysis. Would it make sense to look at cumulative capital raised in addition to whether the companies have raised a Series A, to account for large seed rounds which don't se…

The raison d'être for BrowserBee is to control the user's browser in a private fashion so they can automate tasks that require them to be logged in. I'm unsure how it would work in…

I've been working on a browser use agent embedded within a Chrome extension: https://github.com/parsaghaffari/browserbee You can use it to check and summarize news and social media…

The link doesn't load for me. Can you try sharing again?

Looks powerful at least for read only use cases. Will have a look and compare token stats. Thanks

Great suggestion, will add custom Ollama configurations to the next release

It can fill forms - the agent can invoke a large number of tools to both observe and interact with a page

Is that with 2.5 Flash? I got that error intermittently with that mode, but the other Gemini models worked fine. I'll investigate

That looks very cool. Would love to chat if you're open to it

Yes! Sometimes it does it even without the user asking which is very satisfying :)

In a way this should be a core feature of any browser and if this project accelerates/improves that by 5% I will be very happy! The fact that Chrome and Gemini are, at least for no…

Good spot. I probably shouldn't have the 2nd most expensive model in the demo! Some of the cheaper models have very similar performance at a fraction of a cost, or indeed you could…

I will look into this. Speed and inefficiency due to the low information density of raw DOM tokens is the single biggest issue for this type of thing right now.

Thanks a lot! :) I might write a short post on the development process, but in short: - started development during Easter so roughly a month so far - developed mostly using Cline a…

I'll be exploring a FF port. There are a couple of tight Chrome dependencies that need to be rethought (IndexedDB for storage and CDP for most actions)
