Show HN: We made a tool to show how your government uses your tax dollars

https://3sparency.3ops.io/

Hey HN, we made a simple tool that shows you where your money is going. Since I'm in the US, my favorite is the "Deep Dive" where it shows me a Sankey diagram of where taxes on my salary go.We've added 16 major countries and put more in all the time as the data comes available.

Show HN: ACP is the HTML of agentic commerce

Show HN: Enabling Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) for Shopify Stores

https://www.actory.ai/

Hey HN!We got tired of waiting on Shopify, Stripe, and OpenAI to converge on a solution and let the world use it, so we built our own infrastructure to bridge that gap.For merchants, this is a one-click setup: connect your Shopify store and your catalog becomes programmatically accessible to AI systems via ACP. Agents can query structured product data (inventory, pricing, availability) and...

My company routinely buys wholesale and an agent that does this on our behalf could be VERY cool. How many people are doing this already? How do you deal with anomalies?

Also, we're going to have to fire a bunch of staff if this progresses haha.

We're building https://actory.ai. QA is necessary but sucks, LLMs are awesome, "vibe coding" is very cool, so ... we're building "vibe QA!"
They should totally be able to. If there's "vibe coding" there should be "vibe testing." We're working on just such a product (https://actory.ai); right now it only does websites but just imagine when we turn it on mobile/apps, etc. How cool would that be?
Love this tool; please include the pricing on the front page before one has to sign up. Thanks!

Show HN: We're working on a startup to reduce space debris

The Kessler Syndrome (aka the Kessler Effect) posits that space debris colliding with other space debris could render satellite operation, let alone space exploration, very difficult, if not downright dangerous.The mission of our startup is to get a handle on this problem right now by operating continuously (and autonomously) to decommission old satellites and remove debris chunks. We have an...

Humans want to conquer space; but did you know there's tons of junk floating around in orbit that represents a huge danger? This start-up wants to address that.

Re:I used GPT 3.5 for a mundane thing on Tuesday October 03, 2023 @02:29PM (#37755726)
For a long time the GPTs were just a fun little plaything chatbot. It was the idea of "agents" that clued me in to using it differently. In a really small way to do something that I don't want to do by hand, I used GPT 3.5 to organize my bookmarks.

Ask HN: Games which will help increase my appetite for risk?

I'm very risk averse IRL and am prone to "turtle" or "hoard" what I have. This mindset does NOT help me with my investments where a certain tolerance for risk is necessary to get reward.Are there any games (video, not board) that can help me flex my risk tolerance muscle so I'm able to be less "scared" in reality and less risk averse?Some thoughts on requirements:- Immediate feedback through a...
