Awesome! I hope you tried all the food items including desert delicacies cooked in sand and charcoal.

Where did you visit in India? You liked it? :D

Do people recognise usernames on HN? I would be surprised if anyone remembered or recognised my username on HN and added any association to my comments.

Email me if someone has.

No charges. I will pass on the API cost if you have a high scale but I imagine not.

I built standalone service for discord a while ago.

https://tally.so/r/3xjvKE if you want to see the demo.

Would you be interested in trying out?

I built a GraphQL API to cache the responses and dataload them like 2 years ago on top of HN API so it can give nicer responses and don't hit the endpoint as much through batching. It can load entire HN thread in one request.

It is still incomplete though because I remember you said I could not scrape the site beyond robot.txt limits which would be too less for the use case because I wanted to provide write functionality so I gave up.

Maybe people can host a caching relay and a layer like graphql on top as an unofficial way to lessen the burden on the firebase API (it's a pain to use anyway).

Really? How many users perform any writes monthly?

I only see a couple thousand people actively comment or vote.

+1 to The Ken. It's well worth the subscription.

> One option to get the costs down would be to use a local LLM

It's not that cheaper if you want similar level quality and inference speed. For commercial usage, OP will require training his own model since no good commercial alternative exists.

I use Github Copilot Chat for the same which works with vscode directly. Any advantage over that?

> Please don't use the Dashboard to edit your database in production.

You should make the default editor read only and allow switching to write mode with a big warning. This would discourage people from writing SQL or using UI to modify in production.

The dashboard has always screamed "use me to edit" and I have used supabase in the beginning and very recently too. Nothing has changed to discourage it so far.

Maybe something like mode button which is present at top and you can click to switch between development and production mode?

This would also change a couple more things which you do not want to touch in production by accident.

> The only flaw I see with it is that without the sensationalized headlines I read through going "Oh that doesn't matter, that doesn't matter either" etc haha I haven't found an article that sounds interesting in a few scrolls.

I tried doing the same thing as OP with chatgpt and came to the same realization so I stopped.

This is a business model for many hardware vendors who sell support and insurance with gross profit margin of more than 50% so I don't think it might improve the situation all that much in the long run.

Try applying to claude. I received invite to both within a few days of showing interest. I think they are adding anyone who shows interest now.

Two reasons I use amazon in India over rest.

1. Customer support.

2. Logistics and delivery service.

I don't care much about the listing or app since I know what I want to buy and I search for it directly.

1. You should not be subjected to TCS if you are not an Indian resident. Perhaps you did not convert your bank account to NRE?

2. You can file tax return and get a refund if your tax liability is nil or lower than tax collected at the end of the financial year.

This still doesn't make this situation better but it is not a charge, just an advance tax automatically deducted which needs to be adjusted or claimed back.

USDC is an ERC20 token on the blockchain. This is required to work with smart contracts and dapps. You can swap USDC for any on-chain asset using uniswap or mix them up using a mixer like tornado cash. It also escapes any capital controls to hold USD which is a benefit for those who are outside US and live in poor or draconian countries.

I'm interested too. I have tried in the past building aggregator and summarizer on HN. You can find some attempts on my github.

Maybe an AI generated newsletter or aggregator with a voice summary?

Shoot me an email. (Email is in profile)

Many advice trying a CPAP device first instead of going for a sleep study if you suspect apnea for this exact reason. The sleep tests are expensive and often not accurate.

Node is working to add module based permissions: https://nodejs.org/api/permissions.html

This might help against the supply chain attacks which node is also prone to after adding support for url imports (Yes, you can import directly from url in node too).

Have you tried an entirely remote version of this?

I imagine someone could build an effective AI with face to watch over you to increase productivity/$ spent but it wouldn't have a physical presence.

India built rupay, an alternative to visa and mastercard which has 0 charge to merchants. It is expanding internationally and works in neighboring countries.

Aside from this, most local payments happen over UPI so they cost 0 as well.

Visa and mastercard usage is declining in India since a few years despite rapid increase in digital adoption. Government banned master card, diners, express, etc issuance for not complying with local data storage rules for over a year and it did not impact much.

I think the solution is to run payment infrastructure at public level like many countries have done in Asia.

Thanks for the answers. I wish you have a successful launch.

The core idea is similar to usefyi which pivoted to nira, an access/authorization monitoring service. Here is a thread on why they made the pivot.

How is needle different?

Are you also competing with various ctrl + K spotlight competitors, many funded by YC like raycast?

Is there a chatgpt and human text dataset similar to gpt2 released by openAI?

Do founders actually retain more equity in startup studio model as mentioned in the post?

Isn't founder in such a place just another employee?

I will add pull, fetch, prune, config, merge, remote, cherry-pick, reflog, rebase, reset, bisect, stash, etc to that.

Is there a way to pre-download all models? I want to create a docker image and cache the models.

Also any way configure the generated file path beyond directory or directly pipe image from the CLI?

replika.ai does this. Their AI will send you messages regularly and maintains an internal journal about things you both talked in your chats.

It is targeted towards people who want to have a relationship with the AI.

They have a paid annual subscription to unlock intimacy in your relationship. The free version is platonic and supposedly less capable.
