da4id··on Show HN: Open-sourced Webflow for your own app
How's it different from something like reka.js or builder.io?
da4id··on Static Chess
Is there a valtown for Python?
da4id··on Ask HN: What are some actual use cases of AI Agents right now?
Why do you want it to generate web pages from images? I'm having trouble understanding the workflow here. You see a component you like on another website and want to obtain the code from it? Or if you have a design already, why not just use a Figma to Code tool?
da4id··on A new Copilot key to kick off the year of AI-powered Windows PCs
If you want to see how something like this might work, I made a fun project where I added a single board computer (SBC) into a keyboard. When you press the 'AI' button, the SBC would send inputs to the LLM on the SBC and output keystrokes to the PC. Demo below if you're curious.

da4id··on Challenging projects every programmer should try (2019)
Do you have any good resources for what you mentioned?
da4id··on Let me repeat that back to you
In emergency medicine we refer to this as closed loop communication.
da4id··on Show HN: Emu2 – A Gemini-like open-source 37B Multimodal Model
It might be helpful to include this in the README.
da4id··on Ask HN: Vite or NextJS?
Why do you want to use Next.js if you already have a FastAPI backend?
da4id··on Show HN: SuperDuperDB – Open-source framework for integrating AI with databases
Looks like it uses pylance for vector database.
da4id··on V0: Generative UI
What were you trying to get it to do? It was working alright for me but I was mostly doing quick HTML/CSS templating. I just paste in boilerplates and get it to make tailwind styles changes
da4id··on V0: Generative UI
You should check out https://makedraft.com.

It's like v0 but for HTML and TailwindCSS +/- vanilla JavaScript.

da4id··on Show HN: LLM Powered Keyboard [video]
Ah yup I'll post updates on my blog at lunecake.com and on HN. I haven't thought about open sourcing it so far but it's definitely something I'll consider in the future.

Any particular kind of button you were thinking about?
da4id··on PDF ChatBot – Upload, chat and interact with any PDF document
Just wanted to share my project too. I made a tutorial on how you can build the same thing here:

da4id··on Launch HN: Baseplate (YC W23) – Back end-as-a-service for LLM apps
Thanks! I corrected the link now.
da4id··on Launch HN: Baseplate (YC W23) – Back end-as-a-service for LLM apps
Oh that's neat. I made something somewhat similar recently: https://dopplerai.com/. It's a simple API that handles embeddings, vector database interactions and abstracts over Langchain. Each embedding belong to a user.
da4id··on Neovim 0.8 Released
I tried moving to neovim from vim mainly to try Copilot.
da4id··on Ask HN: Which books do you consider real gems in your field of work/study?
How to measure anything. I think it's targeted for actuaries/insurance, though I'm not in that field. But it did change my idea of what can be analyzed and measured. The beginning is repetitive. Some of it is very unorthodox. But it was very useful in detailing how to evaluate risk.

How to talk to little kids so little kids will listen. I don't have kids and read it on a whim. I've found it's excellent for communicating with people in general during conflict (especially patients). The author is a counsellor and describes real counselling sessions with parents who want better relationships with their children. I enjoyed how the author uses the same techniques on the adults and obtains the same manner of response as when used on the kids.

Understanding Complexity is not a book but a part of the Great Courses. It's hard to say what it directly changed but it did affect how I view everyday life, from traffic to physiology.

Hui's Approach to Internal Medicine was very helpful for transitioning from knowing about medical facts to practical medical knowledge useful to everyday care. It's focus is on 'approach' rather than facts. It has a practical approach to medical issues. First distinguishing by ones in the same category of pathophysiology then practical approach to distinguishing issues within the category. It's a dense book but an excellent read and a good reference.

da4id··on ErgodoxE EZ – an ergonomic keyboard with open source firmware
Not sure I understand correctly. Are you referring to membrane keyboards (rubber dome keyboards)? Why do you prefer these over mechanical keyboards?
da4id··on ErgodoxE EZ – an ergonomic keyboard with open source firmware
Flat keyboards are going to perform better for games vs curved keyboards if you play FPS. Unless maybe you're a pro gamer who want to extend your career or something.
da4id··on ErgodoxE EZ – an ergonomic keyboard with open source firmware
Dactyl manuform is an good alternative to ergodox and Kinesis advantage.

Disclosure I run a small store that sells dactyl keyboards[1]. I've had several people who told me they had discomfort with Ergodox, Moonlander and Kinesis but found the Dactyl quite comfortable.

da4id··on Ask HN: Best and Worst API Documentations?
I've always found heartcombo/devise's wiki to be a really easy read. I recall it was very helpful without too much info when I was just getting started. https://github.com/heartcombo/devise/wiki/How-Tos.
da4id··on I spent a year designing a low profile, minimal mechanical keyboard
Why a screen?
da4id··on Wish HN: Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas and thank you! I've learned a lot from you all the past 2 years.
