Maybe I need to punish tab/windows switches more severely?

Or perhaps require webcam and do eye tracking?

School/students were my target user when I created this. But also mostly just a fun toy.

That's cool, thanks for sharing.

Is there a way to detect this approach?

Ok, that's helpful but I'd argue even a limit order book has an algorithm (albeit simple)

Predictable Revenue is considered canon for B2B/enterprise sales https://www.amazon.com/Predictable-Revenue-Business-Practice...

But not sure how applicable to agencies it is so YMMV.

+1 I use chartjs for the web version of fatgpt.ai. It easy to setup and you can get charts going very quickly.

If I needed more dense data viz (ex a datadog-like system) I'd probably go with something D3 based

It's interesting, seems like a popular space lately (even within YC). Off the top of my head, there's merge.dev, Terra, Kombo, Workato.

Aside from the obvious question of "how are you different/better?" I'm most curious to know why you're going so broad initially. You've got everything from legal to devtools to gaming. Seems like the opposite of a wedge/beachhead approach. Why?

I was somewhat involved in this project. Can't get into details but there were other factors/efforts not mentioned which allowed us to scale this while reducing cost per recommendation. As someone mentioned, I do believe we benefited from a price drop over time.

Regarding the monthly scale mentioned in article–we are way beyond that now.

A lot of really smart people worked on this and it was fun to watch unfold.

Transformers that transform your body

Jokes aside, GPT-4 Vision is surprisingly good at noticing facts from food images. For example:

- In my chipotle bowl, it can tell if I had brown rice vs white rice

- In my In-n-out, it can tell if I got it protein style

It struggles with accurate weights/volumes but I'm excited about where this is going.

I'm building a weight-loss app that leverages LLM to do 2 things:

1. Analyze calories/macronutrients from a text description or photo

2. Provide onboarding/feedback/conversations like you'd get from a nutritionist

My stack is Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, OpenAI APIs. I chose Rails because I'm very fast in it, but I've found the combination of Rails+Sidekiq+ActionCable is really nice for building conversational experiences on the web. If I stick with this, I'll probably need a native iOS app though.

Vendor stack is: GitHub, Heroku (compute), Neon (DB), Loops.so (email), PostHog (analytics), Honeybadger (errors), and Linear.

I mean a single checkout from multiple shopify stores isn't really possible (at least by 3rd parties)

My hypothesis is that, if you could drive traffic to your site and offer a fast checkout experience, there's probably multiple ways to monetize that. Driving the traffic is the hard part.

I built this a couple years ago (now defunct) for the same reason :) The public JSON endpoints on shopify stores make it pretty easy to get the data. You mentioned using Mongo but it sounds expensive. I honestly think you could do this with just elastic or even postgres full text search and save money.

Here's a pro tip + feature you should implement: Shopify has a semi-hidden hack where you can link directly to checkout of a product if you know the variant ID. You could add a BUY NOW button to your site without forcing the user to navigate the original site or checkout flow. Example: https://hapaboardshop.com/cart/42165521907955 (it also supports quantities and coupon codes)

A word of caution: more products isn't necessarily better. I definitely found there to be a long tail of really bad shopify stores and products. IMO it's better to curate or audit the stores you index–otherwise you risk your site being littered with kitchy t-shirts or drop-shipping garbage.

when I try to do this (MBP M1 Max, Sonoma) I get 'killed' immediately

This is really cool and (I think) unlocks an idea I've had for a long time: moviepass for restaurants (aka a new spin on groupon).

I think you could get consumers to subscribe to discounts/deals at nearby restaurants and I think you could get restaurants to offer discounts one-time or during non-peak days/times. I tried to do this in the past using card issuing services (like Stripe's) but it was clunky with debit cards. The ability to do this via credit would make this a lot easier.

I'm about to submit a delay compensation claim with Air Canada. Any tips?

Correct

I live in a California town called Arroyo Grande ("big creek")

The 20% number is a bit ambiguous. How many are being laid off and how many are moving over to Flexport?

We also did this when we did a layoff last month (announcement was on a wednesday and people had access to email through the week). Agree with your sentiment.

Women on average score higher than men on the dimension of neuroticism in big-5 personality tests (as well as anxiety-related dimensions in other tests). [1]

Couldn't the why be due to (at least in part) these innate gender differences?

Have you not tried Greenlight? My 3 kids have had greenlight cards since they were 12. The mobile app UX isn’t great but it checks all the boxes on features.

Few products have made our personal lives so much easier. Not having to ever get/give cash for them is amazing.

A roundabout way of doing 1+2 could be to find a reputable journalist and explain the situation to them. They could publish a story (possibly requesting comment from the site owners first) on it and keep you anonymous.

This could be a way to do the right thing while lowering your risk of being charged with violating some antiquated hacking law.

But also talk to an attorney before doing that.

I wish the response status actually matched the request
