I am working on way too many things to add here but one of them is https://www.familygpt.chat - ChatGPT for kids with parental control. I built it for my kids.

If you want the full list of projects (11 apps, 3 podcasts and some books) see https://www.emadibrahim.com

Me too

There was a lot of criticism of the MIT study. Can’t recall what though :)

If you are a professional developer, it feels like Christmas every week. it’s exhausting and overwhelming but I am loving the excitement. I remember the browser wars days and switching between Netscape and IE and Firefox every week because of new releases. Fun times.

I agree man. I love the HN community but it seems a lot more cynical than usual :).

i think 90% of the comments were about the AI part rather than the actual product - which seems very cool and definitely took a lot of effort to put together.

So many comments about the AI generation part. Why does it matter? If it’s good and accurate and helpful why do you care? That’s like saying you used a calculator to calculate your equations so I can’t trust you.

I am just impressed by the quality and details and approach of it all.

Nicely done (PS: I know nothing about systems programming and I have been writing code for 25 years)

There are 185 matches for "AI" in this thread :) so I will add mine to the list.

FamilyGPT - ChatGPT for kids with parental controls. https://www.familygpt.chat/

i agree on the sanitization aspect but it's the "misdirection" that i am worried about or the misalignment with our family values. Let's say the kid asks about sex or whatever hot topic out there, my values might (and probably are) be different than what chatgpt is giving them and i have no way of monitoring this. I mean i built something for them to use that is more age appropriate, we will see how that goes. I was just curious what other parents are doing.

to answer your question, no they are not allowed on youtube, tiktok or any social media. All games with chat are enable with only their friends which i have to approve. they have youtube kids but they don't like it, so they never use it.

The other problem is that most of their friends have access so they probably show them stuff on their devices :(. Some of their friends have ZERO limits and restrictions - not sure if it's ignorance on the parents part or they are ok with it.

I heard recently denmark banned social media for anyone under 15 (i think) which i believe is a great step and i wish we do it in the US.

I see your point and respect and almost agree. At this point I would rather put something that is 95% good and takes me 30 minutes than spend several hours (that I don’t have) to get it to 100%. The kicker is it will never be 100% because someone will complain or nitpick something.

I appreciate the feedback though. Thanks.

OMG. It has changed everything from “plan me a trip to XYZ for 4 days” to “how do I address my son’s questions about XYZ topic” to “help me create a simple trust for my mom” to spiritual questions to history and philosophy and home automation etc…. I am a woodworking hobbyist and it helped me estimate wood quantities and cut lists and preferred species for different projects and different finishes etc…

The only one it has failed in answering is “how do I make my wife happy” lol

PS: I am the author and owner of that site.

And just to add some more contest, my site used to be a wordpress blog back 15 years ago and I used to block semi-frequently but couldn't keep up with it. The domain has been parked for 10+ years now and i have been wanting to revive it forever but again, too much time than I had to spare. AI tooling has inspired me again and reduced the time significantly. I can now generate content much faster and review it for coherence and accuracy etc...

Lately i have been recording voice memos in the car and when i get home i take the transcript and ask AI to turn it into a blog post. In the past, it just sat on my phone because the effort to edit and research it and format it and type it was too time consuming.

The point is, there is a real person behind this, effort and thought went into it and now i can share my thought without worrying about formatting and grammer and css and blah blah.

that's funny. I read an article about how the use EM prevalance in content as an indicator that it was AI generated. I should tell my agents to stop using them :)

My hat off to the nitpickers and perfectionists

I am a real person. Not invented and not a scam, but enhanced for sure :) . I use the tools I have.

I have been in tech for 25+ years and love programming but I have been busy running my company the past few years and too busy to write code and I MISSED IT A LOT, when AI-assisted coding came about, it drastically reduced the friction.

Vibe coding + Years of Experience = Vibe Engineering and it is AMAZING.

I feel like Tony Stark every day. I wake up every day and review code from several agents on several projects and sometimes i start a new agent when i am bed because of a thought/idea I had and when i wake up in the morning the feature i wanted is ready for review and can be live live in under 30 minutes. that is incredible.

Yes it is AI generated but I reviewed all the generated code and content and tweaked the design for hours. I am a real person and have been coding since 1995 and have a bachelors from Virginia tech in computer engineering and a minor in math.

AI generation is a tool, and it is the best tool I have ever used in my career. Of course if you don’t know what you are doing, it won’t help you. Just because you have a calculator you don’t become an engineer. Or a paintbrush doesn’t turn you into Picasso.

PS: my wife hates my LinkedIn profile photo too :) she says it looks fake. It’s enhanced for sure.

thanks

marketing is hard... way harder than programming :)

I am a hobbyist woodworker and have been writing software for 25 plus and I love both. But I also love the final product and “shipping” if a CNC machine gets me there faster then I will use it. If AI gets me there faster then I will use it. I still have the option to hand code or hand cut a piece of wood and once in a while I do.

For the new generation, I am not sure how it will pan out for them.

I am really enjoying building with AI eand seeing the app I am building taking shape in hours not weeks.

I love my Prusa

It’s like me using WebMD. I might get lucky and diagnose correctly or I might accidentally kill myself. You don’t know what you don’t know.

Hahahah. Thats what I thought too

I did and they responded. thanks.

actually i do have a question about the API. Who do I contact?

They didn't like that I tried to promote it as a service. It's ok, i reposted it and only mentioned the open source script. new link at https://www.reddit.com/r/jira/comments/1ihmk1b/jira_to_openp...

that would be great. I couldn't login/signup to the community website. My email eibrahim at gm ail do com

thanks.

awesome. THANK YOU.

I already posted it in reddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/jira/comments/1ihgps1/switching_fro...

do you know other places that I could post at?

thanks for the feeback btw.

I was thinking of letting logged in users, save articles they want to summarize and read and then get all their summaries by email. What do you think?

What did you have in mind?

Anthropic Claude 3.5

nextjs, postgres, react, shadcn... deployed to a kubernetes cluster (which is new to me and very exciting to work with).

thank you. you should try the bookmarklet too :)
