i think this problem happens on brave because there is no user account and it needs to have an email to create the account.

there are a couple benefits to building it this way, for example sharing commands across an organization is now possible (so for example you can create a command and make it available to your company to use.)

for example, we use it at my company AirGarage to search django admin, open company zoom links, open reports, etc and if one person adds a command everyone can use it

to be honest there is no AI yet - the vision is to have predictive suggestions, automatically open the first result on the page if beyond a certain confidence threshold, etc!

and yes, I do agree memorization is hard with more than a few commands. I am trying to solve it by adding jumps to the search suggestions, so when you type things like drive.google a search suggestion will say "tip, use gd to open or search google drive"

oh thanks for the heads up, yes looks similar. But Jumprope hopefully has a couple more perks:

You can create your own shortcuts at https://jumprope.ai without needing to submit them to ddg

You can also do alias commands - for example I set it up so "prs" opens me github pull requests page for example and "zm" opens the company zoom link

but yes thanks for the heads up!

thanks for the feedback! we don't save searches, but I see the concern and we may release an update where your jumps are stored locally in browser storage and only routed through Jumprope if its in the local jump list

Hey y'all, I built this after working at Facebook and using the much-loved internal tool called bunnylol. You could do things like looking up users with commands like "id 124124512" to pull up a specific fb account.

Would love for you to try it out and give feedback!

cool concept but the scope and funding seem pretty small.

seems like they are trying to do a stripe atlas play and get new startups building on REPL.

in the face of sanctions, NK has to get creative. Sad that a generation of talented people is basically harvested by the gov for hacking and theft

"The process by which North Korean hackers are spotted and trained appears to be similar to the way Olympians were once cultivated in the former Soviet bloc. Martyn Williams, a fellow at the Stimson Center think tank who studies North Korea, explained that, whereas conventional warfare requires the expensive and onerous development of weaponry, a hacking program needs only intelligent people. And North Korea, despite lacking many other resources, “is not short of human capital."

Hello Hacker News,

When I bought my eBike, I was frustrated that it was hard to find unbiased reviews that weren't on their website or part of marketing campaigns.

I am launching a website called eBike Match (https://ebikematch.com) that helps people find ebikes, discuss, and review bikes and ultimately help people choose the best bike objectively.

I would be very grateful if you could share your review on our website, just scroll down to the discussion section.

If you have an ebike, I would appreciate your review! If you don't have one, let me know how the website can be more useful for helping you find one.

Okay, GPT-3 didn't write the entire song, but the chorus section starting at "You can love me...". Had to seed with 5000+ scraped lyric sets. Going to write blog post and explain more soon and perhaps open source the tool

Incredible resource - I liked the structured approach as opposed to guess and check regex which is what most tools offer

Working on a new product and would love your input and ideas for commands. It's inspired by bunnylol, an internal tool at Facebook!

no, don't learn ruby on rails today. Companies still use it but I highly recommend using Django or Flask and Python as an alternative if you're starting from the ground up

The article dances around interesting ideas but instead settles for the washed up thesis that people are abusing government handouts.

There is an interesting phenomenon we are seeing: entrepreneurship is suddenly more glorious, encouraged by governments but often with misguided incentive structures (i.e. rewarding those who are great at pitching or making shiny vanity products).

So a more interesting question is: how can a government encourage entrepreneurial activity without enticing wantrapreneurs to demand free cash?

One idea is reverse tax. The government could reward a startup that is making money even if it's a small amount, and that way, the government is amplifying the market's rewards and not creating a faux incentive structure.

interesting read, especially today when everything is a computerized device.

The eBook fixing collusion is so obvious. I remember when eBooks where $4 because it makes sense -- no printing, no shipping, that's what it should cost. Now it's $16.99 for some eBook, and I think it's a disgrace because authors and customers get screwed with the rigged pricing.

Most the benefit of IP law goes to media and consumer products as opposed to software anyway. Our industry is much less protected, and perhaps that's one reason there's been so much more innovation in tech. Imagine the concept of "open source" applied to other industries, it almost seems ridiculous.

Wait, Uber's surge pricing is actually very, very good for users because it increases the supply of cars especially at odd hours. If it's 2 AM and you need a ride, thanks to surge pricing, you might find some drivers up late. If you need a ride home from a crowded football game, you'll have to pay a bit more but you'll definitely get a ride soon. Without surge, you'd be waiting a while.

This was a great read. In my mind, it reminded me of the true underlying simplicity of everything on the web. He's right--we are riding the shockwaves of the computer revolution and its fizzling down. The transistor is getting smaller (I think Intel's newest one is 7 nanometers) but soon we won't be able to physically make it any smaller. Does this mean the computing revolution is over? No. I think it just means the future is going to be about combining computing with other fields like medicine, the arts, and so on.

This is incredibly clairvoyant. Gates accurately predicted the success that content megaliths would see (I was thinking about Netflix, online news, personal blogs), but he didn't exactly predict the huge content landslide we face today and what it has created. For example, he basically urged corporations to create a bunch of content, while some of the most successful sites on the internet today simply exist to filter and aggregate content and to separate the signal from the noise (like Google).

Overall he's still right--content is king. But I predict that in the future the internet is going to be dominated by user generated content and websites that can effectively show us what we want to see--websites that can refine the ever-growing amounts of information we have at our fingertips.
