paul_brook··on Show HN: Abralo – Free, easy way to run several Claude Code agents in one window
Very cool! You mention VS Code crashing with a few agents. Have you measured how much lighter Abralo is in terms of memory and CPU compared to the equivalent setup in VS Code?

paul_brook··on Show HN: Get AI to recommend your product or service
If you run the same query 10 times, do you get roughly the same results or is there a lot of variance?
paul_brook··on Show HN: Filter World Cup matches and add them to your calendar
Nice idea. If you select a team to follow and that team makes it to the later stages, do their later games also get added into your calendar? How does that work?
paul_brook··on Show HN: Hold yourself accountable for gym visits with a $10 stake
Ah thank you.
paul_brook··on Show HN: Hold yourself accountable for gym visits with a $10 stake
Interesting, I'll check it out thank you.
paul_brook··on Show HN: Hold yourself accountable for gym visits with a $10 stake
Just to be clear, it's not necessarily $10 each time you don't go. You set yourself a target like "4 times this week" or "10 times this month" and it's when you fail to hit your own target that you lose the money.

Interesting. That definitely makes sense.

Haha yeah I thought about this. But I guess everyone has a different idea about a bad cause. But yes a next version of this would let you select from a few different organisations.

Haha I take your point. I was originally going to make it so that you could choose your own amount, but I decided to keep it simple for version 1.

If people are interested in using it of course, I will let people stake what they like :)

paul_brook··on Show HN: Argument Encyclopedia: User-Posted Claims and Rebuttals
Thank you. Yes this was my exact vision for it. Like a spider's web so that you can easily see which objections to any claims. And yes with some kind of voting feature. I just figured this would be an easy place to start and see if people were interested in it.
paul_brook··on Show HN: Debate Platform Where Only One Person Can Speak at a Time
Thanks for the comment. Yes that does sound like fun. I am thinking about opening up the platform so that anyone can host their own debates. But tagging the debates with logical fallacies and fact checks etc. would add a extra dimension!
paul_brook··on Show HN: Track your calories easily by saying what you ate
I'm a little confused. If I search online the calories in a chicken breast, the first thing I see is 128 calories per chicken breast (https://www.verywellfit.com/how-many-calories-in-chicken-bre...). The number of calories in green beans is relatively small and so 262 seems like a good estimate. How large were the chicken breasts?

Glad you like it :) I'll check out your suggestion too thank you!
paul_brook··on Show HN: Track your calories easily by saying what you ate
Thank you so much for trying it out and for the feedback! Macros are certainly high on the to-do list :)
paul_brook··on Show HN: Track your calories easily by saying what you ate
We had considered it, but we wanted to get some feedback from people before implementing any new features.
paul_brook··on Show HN: Track your calories easily by saying what you ate
Hey there, thank you for trying it out. Having the text box is a great idea and we will implement that and let you know here in the comments when it's ready. You can't export data at the moment, but if that's something that people want then we can certainly implement it. Thank you for the feedback!
paul_brook··on Show HN: Track your calories easily by saying what you ate
That's a great point, and one that most people are unaware of. The calories on the back of the food should come with a +/- uncertainty. People think they are accurate but they are allowed to be inaccurate without certain limits.

For most people, getting a rough idea is sufficient I think and much better than not tracking at all.

paul_brook··on Show HN: Track your calories easily by saying what you ate
Thanks for trying it out - really glad you like it! Yes we will be adding macros very shortly :)
paul_brook··on Show HN: Nuanced – a tool to detect AI-generated images
Very cool! Good job guys. Is it possible to quantify the accuracy in any way?
paul_brook··on Show HN: I made a tool to ditch paying $20/month LLM subscriptions
Cool idea! I have subscriptions for these things that sometimes I don't use very often.
