Re:Show HN: A fake small claims court for petty complaints on Tuesday April 21, 2026 @06:05PM (#47855185)
Yes there is a backend and I burn tokens on GPT 5.4 every case so please be nice :). I’ll leave it at a high model for now, but if people abuse it I’ll file a petty complaint and downgrade to a small model.

I liked this one I make, however I have still waiting on the Venmo even though it says PAID: https://benlirio.com/petty-small-claims/?c=uK6aqyhm&k=F6C0Uo...

Some other compaints I probably shouldn’t post here…

Glad you enjoyed it, too bad your dog can’t pay out the claim

More than often when I get asked a question is something that AI can easily answer. Rather than just responding “ask AI” I actually put effort into pasting their question into AI and verifying the response in case they don’t have the context to verify themselves.

Another reason is if I’m using a custom setup with different knowledge bases and tool, I don’t want to respond “setup X, then ask AI”

I think this should be flipped around and instead be “stop sloppy asking”

The article describes the problems of using a AI chat app without setting up context, skills, MCP, etc

Like yea the AI won’t know what you discussed in last weeks meeting by default. But if you do auto transcribe to your meetings (even in person just open zoom on one persons laptop), save them to a shared place and have everyone make this accessible in their LLM’s context then it will know.

Oops, I accidentally deployed a half baked change to randomly swap users prompts while trying to filter out input for racism: https://github.com/BenLirio/word-battle-server/commit/316140...

Fixed now (I think): https://github.com/BenLirio/word-battle-server/commit/b87279...

I scanned the DB for racist words and removed them all. I need to add moderation on the input still. But I can just scan and remove until then.

I'm looking to improve this so thanks for the feedback. Also if you code and have time, here are the repositories. I still need to setup CI/CD but if you make a change I can just deploy it.

Oh wait, I just remembered null is normally 0 in C and C++. So probably not that if it is not 0.
"Whether to allow duplicate object entry names." This is interesting. I just did a test and it look like `jq` evaluates `{ "a": 1, "a": 2 }` to just `{ "a": 2 }`. I have always thought that this was invalid JSON. This mean that the order of keys in JSON do have some semantic meaning.
So is unmapped address another way of saying null pointer?
there are open source models. If/when chatgpt has adds you will probably be able to just run something equiv with open source tools.

My favorite little language is jq.

It's like SQL <-> RelationDB and jq <-> NonRelationalDB
