Working on a solution for low touch categorization and archival of online data. Currently focused on one click tagging and archiving tweets.

You can check out the Chrome extension here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jgglahegfmldmibegm...

Future versions will have online storage and low touch tagging of archiving/tagging any online data. A mobile app is also planned.

Will be hosted at archivant.com

Great work everyone!
They are under supervision in exam centers (high-schools etc). The is no integrity though, so it's not really the students that are not trusted, but the supervisors themselves.
Re:Use Gröbner Bases to Solve Polynomial Equations on Tuesday April 25, 2023 @05:51PM (#35707203)
I did my master's thesis on the Gaussian Elimination part of Gröbner Bases making multiple optimizations to the Faugère-Lachartre method (working with Faugere himself) and had the first C (C++ish) public implementation at the time. The thesis can be found here https://hpac.imag.fr/gbla/data/bib/Mart12.pdf.

Many ideas from the thesis ended up in the GBLA library used for fast Gaussian Elimination over these large matrices: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/2930889.2930914

This is a nice presentation from Christian Eder explaining how the algorithm works and the different optimization techniques implemented in GBLA https://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~ederc/download/gbla-aca-201...

Twitter Archive Eraser (https://delete.tweets.app) makes ~3K USD per month.

I don't do any active work on it any longer for the past 2 years or so, other than the small bug fixes/when Twitter changes the archive format. Bracing for a shutdown to the API soon anyway.

Past submissions on how it used to bring in $7k per month and a few technical details: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23439606 (June 2020), https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29998723 (Jan 2022).

“Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it,” Mike Tyson.

The "punch" here is metaphorical and could be any stakes that the person would be at risk of losing: social etc.

Twitter Archive Eraser https://delete.tweets.app/, allows users to reliably delete old tweets.

Makes around $5k/month now (down from $7k/mo previously), fully passive income as I haven't worked on any new features in the app for the past 1.5 years or so.

And close to deleting 3 billion tweets so far.

I made this tool, I'm glad it was useful for you :) I made out of frustration with other tools that didn't help with deleting my own tweets.
