Esperanto havas la mal- prefikso por krei specialcelan antonomion, sed la rezulto ofte mankas klarecon, kaj kiel morfemo mal mem estas morale kondamna: komparu malica, maligna, malversacio kie mal ne estas sinkrone disigebla. Tial mi vorkas por krei liston de ĉiuj mal- vortoj kun sen mal- alternativoj. Fakte ĝi ankaŭ povas servi la kontraŭan celon, provizi pli ĝeneralajn mal- vortojn kiam oni deziras krei verkon pli…
This smells of doubleplusungood.

#773A "trying to solve my own problem" project. Managing my realestate portfolio and getting an unbiased estimate pricing estimate for new locations i'm interested in is tedious. Doing my own research on a location takes hours.
https://realestate.blackboattech.com/ makes this easier converting all real-estate research into a one click affair. Agent automatically accesses the location and neighborhood to score amenities and gets an average price range for similar homes. Research reports are great for consumers and realtors can have on-demand reports generated for the most up-to-date information. Over time the plan is to have passive tracking of my existing real-estate portfolio notifying me of local events or litigations that may affect my property pricing.

#774I'm working on Vedro, a Python testing framework as a pytest alternative without the magic and with clear output. The main idea is that tests should just be Python: plain `assert` statements instead of custom matchers, no fixture magic, and when tests fail you get readable diffs that actually show what went wrong. Tests can be simple functions or structured with steps that self-document in the output. https://vedro.i…
- pytest already works with assert. Why brag about something that is already commonplace?
- It could help if your docs explained the alternative to using fixtures. I assume it would be done by re-using givens, but you could make it clearer what is the preferred way to do it, and what is gained, or lost, but doing it that way.
- Can you explain how your diff is better than the pytest diff? (I'm asking as someone who hates the pytest diff)

#777Non tech, but I started a sports beverage company with my brother and a neighbor. We are based in South Florida. My brother and I grew up playing sports and remember the simplicity of home-made drinks we'd take to games that blew the likes of Gatorade out of the park. We aim to replicate the simplicity of home-made drinks with simple ingredients. https://www.drinkiso.com/ Our whole value-add is based around the fact…

#778We're building Doctly.ai - PDF Extraction with AI.
We started out with document conversions to Markdown but quickly realized that most use cases were for JSON conversion. We recently launched our "Extractor Studio" where you can have AI analyze a few sample variations of your documents and come up with a schema for you and publish it to an API endpoint.
We've built a technique on top of AI models that dramatically improves run to run consistency of JSON output.

#779Originally a project to gain comfort with local LLMs + function calling. Currently, Ollama runs too slowly on Macbook Air M2.
