With servos strapped to my arms, I was able to simulate the feel of engine vibrations through the wrists and the steering pull through the elbows.Excuse the bad driving lol.

Hey HN!We’re a group of high school students who built Factful, a Chrome extension that helps with research, fact-checking, and writing—all inline. When we first launched Factful as a web app, we got a lot of feedback asking for a more integrated experience, so we built a Chrome extension to let you fact-check and look up information without switching tabs.Making this work inside Google Docs...
Yea, that was for our devs to test out stuff before pushing out, we forgot to disable it.
Yea ok, eliminating misinformation is what we want to eventually do. But what we can sell is something that eliminates human errors (the backend also allows for that).
Yea, that's why we also added in an grammar checker, even if they dont care about facts, they can get something better than gram marly that checks for way more for way less.
Yes, we checked it out, it seems pretty cool. What we aim to do, is creating a software that will check for everything, not just grammar or factuality. There is nothing in the market like it
Yea, thank you for the feedback, as its a beta deployment that's what we want, people finding bugs so we can fix everything for the full launch.
yes, we are working on it. But currently you can check each source by pressing the little i on the popup
Yea we are working on it. It is a thing that we are trying to fix, it giving too much or too little suggestions.
Yea, already done! It will be pushed tomorrow, when less people is on.
Yea, we are building one currently. It should be ready in the summer (as we have APs and finals coming up)
Hi there, we are working on one, as we are high school students, it wouldn't be done until the summer with the APs and finals coming up.
Thank you! We are working on our own LLM that is based of a multitude of data, we also will double check or even triple check all the information through our DB and the internet. We are working to make it as reliable as possible.
Hi there, thank you for your feedback! I think we could potentially go down the route of a web3 approach where we get the public consensus on the facts.
Ah Ok, thank you for the feedback!
Yea, infact the backend is really complicated, we have to go and do a lot of extra processing in order for the information to be displayed. The line there, just dont worry about it, I will edit it, I mean something else by that line, like you can't just steal our name and stuff like that.
Yea, thank you for your feedback!
Yea ok, we already have the citing thing done, and are going to start working on the RAG architecture soon.
We are incorporated in the UK because it is the only place that allows 16 year olds to do so. For the businesses, we still aren't done the features yet but we would charge by query for API and by user for the subscription.
Oh, it is because we set a global check limit, 1 per second (we didnt think we would get so many users, got 500 in the last 30 minutes) We will fix that. But a simple reload should suffice
