rpm33··on Show HN: Chat with your DB using Python SDK, API and create data apps
Ah this is cool, yet to take a full look at the SDK, can i access data in pandas dataframes?
rpm33··on Show HN: Open source AI data analyst locally using CLI
- Best way to point to a csv, local files, local postgres/mysql and iteratively build a highly accurate system to chat with the data. - We auto generate yaml files so you can transparently edit them and watch real time how the accuracy improves. - You can point to local pdf's and auto generate reports from dashboards.

Overall we felt this is a light weight framework to create a highly accurate personal AI data analyst without any vendor lock-in.

rpm33··on Show HN: Open source AI data analyst locally using CLI
Hi HN, last week we launched Dravid (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40947238) an AI-Powered CLI Coding Framework and received great feedback.

We thought this would be a great extension to build something similar for data analysts, data engineers and analytics engineers. Few building blocks we've added:

- Natural language to SQL query conversion - PDF Report generation (can use reference files for formatting) - Support for various LLM providers (Claude, OpenAI, Azure, Custom, Ollama) - Interactive chat mode for continuous database querying - Automatic context generation from database schema - Customizable context for improved query accuracy - Optimized for smaller database subsets (up to 10-15 tables)

Would love to hear your feedback on this!

rpm33··on Show HN: Open-source CLI coding framework using Claude
This is awesome, i just tried it myself for a simple form builder that I needed to send out a survey.

I will play around more, at first glance, it might be useful for learning new frameworks/langages that require installation of external dependencies.

what do you wish to do with further?

rpm33··on Launch HN: Paragon (YC W20) – Visually Build API Workflows
Love your landing page -- was it designed by a professional?
rpm33··on Ask HN: Who's Looking for a Co-Founder?
Updated.
rpm33··on Launch HN: Mutiny (YC S18) – Website Personalization for B2B Companies
How is this different than Clearbit?
rpm33··on Ask HN: Who's Looking for a Co-Founder?
I've been working on an interesting problem at the intersection of B2B and ML. Built a strong pipeline of high growth companies in the bay area. Currently, at $20k ARR with an MVP I built myself.

I'm an engineer turned founder. Looking for another technical co-founder who's either into ML (or) into general app building.

I'm based out of SF and would love to chat! Email in my account.

rpm33··on Ask HN: Who's Looking for a Co-Founder?
What's your e-mail? pinging you.
rpm33··on Working for a startup makes less sense, unless you are into the mission
>I think it was because I was an overseas employee and the founders just didn't shell out equity to people who were not based out of US.

Isn't that illegal ?

rpm33··on “Every minute I spent thinking about competitors was a minute wasted”
Met my co-founder arbitrarily and had to end the relationship because of this very reason - he would spend the entire day looking at competition and freaking out about it. Was a bad sign!
rpm33··on Harder programming questions do a worse job of predicting outcomes
Well it started off with Microsoft in the 90's, then Google in 2000's and then it just became common for every company in SV to conduct these programming interviews.
rpm33··on Flying for Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving and Christmas - best days to fly. Especially if you are not seeing family either of those days.
rpm33··on Running Your Company by Patrick Collison [video]
Yep, pretty disappointing.
rpm33··on Ask HN: How much did you, as an employee, make when your startup exited?
What % of the current company (startup) did you own when you were made the offer originally ?
rpm33··on Ask HN: How much did you, as an employee, make when your startup exited?
what equity % did you get ?
rpm33··on Ask HN: How did you get started as a freelancer?
Is anyone on gigster or upwork ? I've taken a few months off work and I want to do some freelancing to make money on the side and also stay up to date but I'm unable to find quality work out there.
rpm33··on Startup School: Every Company That Applied Is Now Accepted
Founder from India, got accepted into the advisor track. Hit me up.
rpm33··on Startup School 2018 – Curriculum
> I get the feeling that YC’s best days are ahead when things they invested in a decade ago will pay off huge returns.

Yes. It takes a good 10 years to build / IPO a company. Also they've funded a bunch of companies outside the US / Europe region where IPO markets are not as friendly.

rpm33··on Yuval Noah Harari extract: ‘Humans are a post-truth species’
> First, he conflates the use of currency with fiction. Currency doesn't need fiction to function, it can be survive even if every human was completely rational and couldn't be tricked with fiction. That's because the mechanism that gives currency its value is game theoretic equilibrium / focal point.

Disagree. Currency exists because humans cooperate on a common medium of transaction. If cooperation didn't exist (via fiction), then the equilibrium wouldn't exist.

rpm33··on Show HN: Standup tool that works like Snapchat stories for remote teams
What about closed captions for the hearing impaired ? I have a friend who works in tech in SF and he has trouble doing video interviews because of this. He is really good at lip reading but sometimes it's really hard to follow.

The closed captions generation doesn't have to work in real time.

rpm33··on Show HN: Standup tool that works like Snapchat stories for remote teams
Love the idea. Faced this several times myself while traveling.
rpm33··on Show HN: YC Review – Get your YC application reviewed by an alum
Bang on! "I’m an investor, can I access your user base? The short answer is maybe.", sounded very shady. Not sure I can trust them with some very personal information.
rpm33··on Elixir at PagerDuty
There is already some work out there since Elixir lends perfectly for parallelization of computation and is also immutable. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE0h9DURSOo and http://www.automatingthefuture.com/blog/2016/9/7/artificial-...
rpm33··on Discover dev – a daily digest of engineering blogs
Great work, DM'ing you
rpm33··on How Elon Musk and Y Combinator Plan to Stop Computers from Taking Over
Once again sensationalism. I watched that interview. Sam's take on AI is perhaps the most practical I've seen in popular media, while everyone is freaking about a singularity event.
rpm33··on WhatsApp Web
Awesome! Really wanted this feature for a long time not having to switch between my phone and keyboard while at work.
rpm33··on Trends: Uber vs. Lyft
I was expecting a more analytical analysis or a personal reason on why the OP decided to quit Uber.I'm not undermining the articles in the press, but those could happen to anyone. On keeping with the quality of HN I think we need to have a more deeper understanding of how companies should function.
rpm33··on Uber VP: we could spend $1M to take revenge on journalists
I've been to a couple of Uber house parties here in SF. The culture seems pretty pathetic - all the employees think they can do what they want because their CEO is aggressive and can run through brickwalls. Its funny how it percolates through to everyone.
rpm33··on How to Survive in SF as a Broke Startup
If you are a student, don't try to do this. Instead, stay at college as much as possible to leverage the network. If you've dropped out of college, try to crash on a friend's couch till he/she gets annoyed and kicks you out. For everyone else, unless your gut is wrenching from a feeling that the solar system will stop expanding without you, go find a job, save some money, get some advice and then try to stumble upon a startup idea along the way. This op-ed makes sense if your idea has been validated and you are struggling to bootstrap/raise angel investment. The time value of money is clearly neglected here, the amount of time you spend trying to live frugally can instead be spent in raising money.
