i have had this for a while now (a month maybe?). I wish this had o1 option. nobody uses 4o for coding anymore.
asadalt··on Prayer, Placement, and Absolution: Peter Hristoff on Islamic Prayer Rugs (2015)
there is something about prostrations that’s interesting but i can’t tell what exactly scientifically. But it brings me relief everytime I do it in namaz. I understand that the act of submission is relieving (things will be ok/there is someone looking out for me) but also physically (hard to explain)

no wonder it’s the meat of the entire prayer. Taking a prayer break from my messy code problems really resets my brain strain very quickly.

asadalt··on ChatGPT Search
why
asadalt··on ChatGPT Search
on other hand i would love a Gemini finetuned on all papers or ability to refer to papers in my prompt when researching an idea.

right now, I download pdf and upload it to chatgpt to bounce ideas.

asadalt··on What happens if the NY Times tech staff strikes on election night?
does newer generation even care about big media? all the news comes from x or tiktok or youtube.
asadalt··on Computer use, a new Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Claude 3.5 Haiku
adding a neural network in the middle suddenly makes these things less brittle. We are approaching the point where this kind of “hacky glue” is almost scalable.
asadalt··on CapibaraZero: A cheap alternative to FlipperZero based on ESP32-S3
is S3 depeecated?
asadalt··on Addition Is All You Need for Energy-Efficient Language Models
this is still true for many embedded projects. like pi pico (2040) uses a table.
asadalt··on Geico terminating insurance coverage of Tesla Cybertrucks
they were likely paid for?
asadalt··on I designed a Dieter Rams-inspired iPhone dock
yes!
asadalt··on Raspberry Pi Pico 2, our new $5 microcontroller board, on sale now
doesn’t usb-c significantly increase the components required? unless you skimp and just replace the connecter only, which won’t always work.
asadalt··on Chrome is adding `window.ai` – a Gemini Nano AI model right inside the browser
but that’s not much useful if the model is nano. Webgpu would be a better point of misuse maybe
asadalt··on ChromeOS will soon be developed on large portions of the Android stack
which makes sense? like i can’t expect the new ai intelligence (a 3B model) will run at all on iPhone X
asadalt··on World in a Box
> world events as overexposure to stuff like that melts my brain

ie. shoving my head in the sand will protect me.

genocide trigger warning. interesting…
asadalt··on Perplexica: Open-source Perplexity alternative
which one is better
asadalt··on Show HN: I built a non-linear UI for ChatGPT
i wish perplexity had a similar ui option. so I can out my research in multiple paths.
asadalt··on Show HN: I made an opensource tool to clean and convert any webpage to Markdown
I made a simple tool to scrape any webpage and clean it so that I can drop it to our blog easily (part of our newsletter workflow)

I previously posted this[1] and there was a common ask to open source it so here it is.

asadalt··on America is uniquely ill-suited to handle a falling population
how does religious folks result in Idiocracy scenario?

Quite the opposite it seems looking at history.

asadalt··on Show HN: Vapi – Convince our voice AI to give you the secret code
is there an open source equivalent of this? especially the interruption logic?
asadalt··on Show HN: I made a tool to clean and convert any webpage to Markdown
you would still need to run. For js based websites.
asadalt··on Show HN: I made a tool to clean and convert any webpage to Markdown
yeah that’s correct. i put a checkbox to disable readability filter if needed…
asadalt··on Show HN: I made a tool to clean and convert any webpage to Markdown
this is slightly heavy due to loading a headless chrome instance. I will look into optimizing this part.

other than that, gpt4 is expensive, but so far it’s been negligible so i am hopeful.

i feel i can keep it around for long.

asadalt··on Show HN: I made a tool to clean and convert any webpage to Markdown
it has actually scaled pretty well and has been negligible cost-wise.

I didn’t have to do anything to handle HN traffic. Just a boilerplate nextjs app.

asadalt··on Show HN: I made a tool to clean and convert any webpage to Markdown
oh AI is optional here. I do use readability to clean the html before converting to .md.
asadalt··on Show HN: Plandex – an AI coding engine for complex tasks
Well I have built similar project that lives in github action, communicates via issues and sends PR when done.

4-vision isn't there yet. It can mostly OCR or pattern recognize the image if it's popular or has some known object. It cannot detect pixel differences or css/alignment issues.

asadalt··on Show HN: Plandex – an AI coding engine for complex tasks
In demo it modified UI components, is there any model that can look at the rendered page to see if it looks right? Right now all these wrappers just blindly edit the code.
asadalt··on A16Z blogs are just glorified marketing
well submarine! https://paulgraham.com/submarine.html
