I know everyone here is telling you not to hyper optimize, but I've found drafting a prompt for an AI agent (Cursor/Devin/Codex/etc) and letting it run and then using the remaining…

New Hisense TVs have USB-C DisplayPort support. Pretty cool, but realistically I don't see how it's different from HDMI from a usefulness standpoint. Edit: It is cool I can plug my…

I remember running around campus looking for WiFi hotspots with my N810, using Google Voice to text my friends ($0.10 per text, no thank you!). Learned so much Linux admin skills t…

Is this primarily for building chat based agents? What if I want to trigger a workflow via API or webhook and the wait for some sort of human in the loop verification? Do you have …

I played all of KOTOR2 on Xbox using a capture card without sound. Good times.

If you have an iPad with a USB-C port, you can use the free Orion app to do this too https://orion.tube/

I've been using using [BAML]( https://github.com/boundaryml/baml ) to do this, and it works really well. Lets you have multiple different fallback and retry policies, and returns s…

Don't do that! This was a great post with a lot to learn from. The fact you came to a very similar solution from first principles is very interesting (assuming you didn't know abou…

CTO here, using BAML in our stack has let us use LLMs a LOT more in places that wouldn't make sense without the type-safety. We started using it for line item tag prediction and cl…

What incentive would HN or YC have to do this? Especially since they are putting out content that argues that you don't even need a business co-founder: https://youtu.be/43RhhwpiSk…

In my experience, after tip Lyft/Uber are more expensive. The exception is during surges when Waymo's price shoots up like crazy.

We use GPT-4o for data extraction from documents, its really good. I published a small library that does a lot of the document conversion and output parsing: https://npmjs.com/pack…

I think a portion of people would say yes, it's better to keep the status quo. Imo progress always wins because eventually someone somewhere will break the taboo. Technology even g…

I left Google in 2020. It is not like this anymore. I heard its gotten even worse.

> Also there is the fact that America is extremely anti-immigration at the moment. In what way? Compared to which countries? If OP is coming to the USA for school, I don't think th…

GPT Vision is probably the best generic OCR and document parsing tool out there. It can handle invoices, contracts, receipts, and even hand written notes. However, there are some l…

And they wanted to cancel the Bolt too...

Anecdote: I saw a Cybertruck driving on a highway in SF last week. Didn't get a great look but it was definitely real!

YC startup school might be something to look into: https://www.startupschool.org/

Just wanted to chime in and say we are a big fan of Fern! It makes developing our APIs 10x easier as we get full end-to-end type safety and code completion, but the really great pa…

Looks like they will offer some sort of customized Android Automotive, which is awesome, but restrict casting from your phone? Seems really short sighted, I feel most folks would u…

S22 and W23 have been in-person, W22 was the last remote batch. In person has been a significantly better experience from what I can tell!

This HN comment says the same, it's not used anymore: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18142526
