I’d imagine the point is for you to pay for resources used… considering your prompt still costs money.

If only Google’s Product teams were a tenth as good as their engineering teams.

These studies simply aren’t nuanced enough for me. I want to give my 6 year old a phone that can do one thing only: call me, my wife or 911. No browser or any other app. Is that bad? Is the issue when they can communicate with friends? Is it social media? Email? The browser?

Your argument implies that banning was the only option… it wasn’t. They could’ve continued operating just the same had they sold the company.

TBH I haven’t really wrapped my head around passkeys. I use them but the experience is so awkward, that I don’t know what I’m doing half the time. Do I have passkeys for this site? Are they in Bitwarden? Can I use my phone as a passkey always? Why does it work for some sites but not others?

Meh… I prefer to type out the 6 digits MFA code.

I prob use it 100 times per hour in Cursor AI... if not more.

I don’t think people are over-estimating his competence. He set himself a goal and achieved it… getting away with it simply wasn’t important so it wasn’t the thing he obsessed over.

Not sure I agree with that. Had he stayed in hiding for months, he wouldn’t have been ID’d. Why is he walking around bare-faced a few days later? My take is he planned the actual act but didn’t think about much beyond that.

Everyone seems so focused on writing email with AI when I think the biggest opportunity is helping people read and search email. I have an inbox with 300 unread emails. Which ones require an action from me? Which ones can I safely ignore? Can you re-write responses and allow me to review and click to send?

Very broad question.. company events are good for morale. You spend most of your days with your coworkers… it’s nice to have an opportunity to kick back and relax with them on the company’s dime. My employer is doing the party during office hours.

I’ve been using ClearSpace and it cut down my screen time by about 40%. I’m a fan of the Strict Mode which basically completely blocks you out of the apps you want for X number of hours.

DeepInfra prices are significantly better than what’s listed for OS models.

Cynical? That’d be on brand… especially with the ongoing lawsuits, the exodus of people and the CEO drama a while back? I’d have a hard time recommending them as a partner over Anthropic or Open Source.

I can relate. I code at home on my side projects, and enjoy solving coding issues at work once in a while, but I couldn’t sit and do it every day. The two easiest things you can do is either move to Engineering Management or to Product Management.

Interesting pricing. Who’s your customer? Agencies?

Looking at your homepage, I can’t figure out what your product is or who is for. I’m assuming it is t for me. Am I suppose to know that a digital sales room is?

Congrats on launch and your first Show HN. I verified my email but still can’t post because of missing email verification. Clicking to resend verification gives me an error.

Also, implementing social sign-in lowers the bar for effort needed to try your service. Consider it.

I’d avoid the hardware. It’ll just slow you down or become a distraction… not to mention that everything takes longer. Want to wipe a VPS and start over? A few clicks. Want to take an image of the system? A few clicks. With your own hardware you’ll waste an hour just trying to get the dynamic IP software working, only to find later that certain ports are blocked by your ISP. Just no.

Why should I switch to this from Wave AI? Can I pay a one time fee for the app and use my own API keys?

This is the second time in as many days that I see someone implying that Next.js is somehow difficult to deploy outside of Vercel. Vercel has an excellent offering for Next.js apps but you can easily deploy in Netlify, AWS Amplify, Cloudflare Pages, Digital Ocean, Render, Railway, etc, etc. in fact, I prefer deploying outside of Vercel since I’d rather not deal with the cold-starts for server code. My take is that most large corps aren’t hosting next.js on Vercel and are instead setting up and managing their own pipelines/environments. .

Wait till you hear about copy/paste

Deploying next.js on containers, AWS Amplify, digital ocean, Netlify, etc is trivial. Such a strange statement to read.

I do this for my extension [0] but the HTML is often too large for context window sizes . I end up doing scraping of the relevant pieces before sending to LLM.

Can you share a bit more about how you accomplished it? Is this using Llama? I’d love to load the 1B version of Llama for my extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/namebrand-check-for...

When it was about 70% done downloading, it looks like it refreshed and it put up the Load CTA once again.

Congrats on the launch! Will check this out

Thanks for the feedback! And yes, I'll include Amazon UK support in the next release. I also plan on expanding the "suggested brands" to the search page. Yes, I definitely need to do more research on getting visibility to the extension.

I built a browser extension to solve a common frustration I have when shopping on Amazon. It's tough to distinguish reputable brands from the countless "alphabet soup" names that flood the search results. While there’s definitely a place for those lesser-known brands (I’ve bought plenty myself), sometimes I just want to find a brand recognized for quality.

While the extension delivers on its core purpose, what has been most surprising to me has been the fact that I've discovered dozens of new (lesser known) brands which make high quality products. Welcome any feedback!

Hi Everyone! I built this browser extension to scratch an itch. As you likely know, searching for most things on Amazon usually yields results of mainly "alphabet soup" brands. It's very difficult to know what brands are actually companies that designs and makes a thing, versus brands that simply slaps a random set of letters on products others sell as well.

There's certainly great value in having the "alphabet soup" brands, and I often purchase them- but sometimes, I want a brand known for quality making that "thing". For example, I needed durable kids shoes for my little one, and using my extension, I found a brand I knew nothing about: "Keen", which has been fantastic. I have similar examples for biking accessories, audio equipment, etc.

At the moment, I score the product on the Product Page, as well as show scores next to products in some searches (Amazon has different layouts for search results). I plan on also showing brand suggestions directly on the search page using your query - This would allow you to search, and immediately know what brands are known to make quality products for the thing you're searching for.

So far, the performance has been fantastic in terms of how accurate my prompts have been at segregating brands.

Happy to answer any questions!

In retrospect, my comment was unnecessarily harsh. Congrats on the launch. I know how tough it is to get here.
