News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

This is really cool! I'm glad there are others that had the same idea!

I prototyped mine early last year and models weren't quite where they are today. I'll try to find some time to update the code and release it.

I built a similar idea as a hobby project to see what was possible with harnesses. My idea was give a model a chat input, but outputs can be data models (sqlite), and panels that are custom react components that can be generated and mounted on the fly by the model.

The basic idea in todo list form was:

"Let's build a todo model to manage my daily tasks, then build a task list panel where i see today's todos."

It got more interesting from there as I kept building ontop of it. For example, I added data hooks (trigger something when data changes, e.g. custom code or even webhooks) and it felt like an AI native Airtable.

Everything persists and becomes the UI of the app itself.

Also a customer here, DatoCMS is fantastic product. We run hundreds of sites on their platform. Their team also works with you on pricing as you scale.
This reminded me of the Knowledge Project podcast with Dr. Rhonda Patrick on certain biomarkers, including omega index as an indicator for longer life span.

We've been using Mercure for 3+ years in production. It's been pretty much set it and forget it. Maybe once a year do we have to maintain the server e.g. clear up space, but overall has been great for our use case (which does not need full pub/sub).

This was me yesterday after reading the official Willow release.

Spent yesterday afternoon and this morning learning what I could. I'm now superficially familiar with quantum coherence, superposition, and phase relationships.

In other words, you got this. Now I gotta learn linear algebra. brb.

Re:418 I'm a Teapot on Monday October 28, 2024 @11:20AM (#41971954)
We use the 418 response code in our authentication service. We use to determine whether the token is invalid due to expiration, vs any other reason. If 418, we know to refresh to access token automatically... pretty harmless and definitely not a security measure.

I was a teen really into philosophy so maybe not applicable.

I used to be local teen that would fix everyones Playstation 3's, when they got the red light of death. I used to do the heat gun trick to get them back up, but decided to also try an oven at one point (it worked). I wonder if this was the same phenomenon...
Re:VanillaJSX.com on Friday August 16, 2024 @07:40PM (#41271315)
I'm by no means an advocate of this library, and never plan to use it, but to support component props that trigger rerenders, a'la React/Vue, I would use JS Proxies here. Wouldn't be that hard to implement.

Will the API support uploading conversion of markdown to "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"? I process thousands of documents each month -- often have to parse from HTML to Markdown to Docx then finally upload and convert to Google Doc format.

Do you have DACA already? I've had DACA since it's beginning but just this week was approved for my green card via adjustment of status through marriage.

The only caveat for me was needing to do Advance Parole before hand, otherwise I'd have to also do consulate interview.

I second the Micrograd implementation vid, had to pause several times to look up some concepts.. but so far the best resource I've found in regards to gradients work in neural networks

What kind of projects do you want to working on? You have the basic building blocks: HTML, JS, CSS, and PHP. It's time to build stuff!

You can use PHP to build a backend REST API using the Slim or Lumen frameworks. You can do the same with JS using Node's express framework. Deploy on Heroku to get started for free, and no I don't work for them.

Maybe learn a little bit of database architecture and deploy that using AWS RDS. Free for a year! Google has a similar option.

Or maybe you want to be cutting edge and setup a GraphQL server with Apollo or Prism! Up to you.

With JS, you can learn React, Vue, or Angular and consume the API while generating UI's for the user. Use Netlify for your front end deploys! It's free for personal projects.

Build a few projects that aren't basic "calc", or "weather" apps. Maybe create your own user authentication system with oAuth2, heck even JWT.

Download a UI Kit from ui8.net so you don't have to design from scratch. This will make your project look legit when you showcase. (Mostly not free, but good investment)

I hire a lot of engineers, I look at their work but also the design of the project (even if they didn't design it)

Good design establishes legitimacy, even if it's demo app!

Keep building, looking for jobs, and eventually you'll land one.

Finally, start calling yourself a web developer today. Congrats.

Pretty certain I incorrectly received the "Ooops, you didn't actually email"

Please confirm this bug. My company is basically a unicorn.

Re:Startup School Advisor Track: You Are In on Monday August 20, 2018 @06:15PM (#17804512)
Was also accepted into the same Track. 25 companies per track it seems, there are probably many cohorts.

Studio III Marketing | Full-time | Full-stack Engineer | In-house (Los Angeles, CA)

CTO here, looking to build a new team of software engineers to build software that makes agency life easier. The ideal engineer will have 4+ years in web application development with tried and tested technologies. React+Redux are a must!

Looking for people who are problem-solvers and looking to grow within a company.

Backend-wise, we are currently using PHP/MySQL but really itching to build something in Go.

Definitely would be automating monthly reports at our company. Prior to building the system, it would take a week or two to collate all the data for our 200+ clients.

The system integrated with all our third-party analytics platforms that could handle all of our reports with a client of a button. Went from 1-2 weeks to 1-2 seconds.

Now we keep adding more and more integrations, and even our competitors want to use it.

Re:Ask HN: Cryptocurrency without mining? on Thursday December 28, 2017 @05:36PM (#16025638)
You're on the right track. Several coins are trying to do JUST that, most notably: Ripple.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_(payment_protocol)

I currently have DACA with no way to adjust status. I'm married to a US citizen (however no valid proof of entry), are there are ways to adjust status without leaving the US. Perhaps with a sizable investment/stake in a company in the US?
I'm currently a DACA recipient. I got my DACA 4 1/2 years ago. In those four years I went from no job, to a full-time developer, to a CTO of a multi-million dollar company that oversees a team of 9 developers. Our company went from 9 employees to over 40 in that amount of time.

There are so many similar cases of DACA recipients flourishing. Many are devs or designers having a tremendous impact in tech, and many more are entrepreneurs.

We, Dreamers, have been waiting for 20+ years for an opportunity like DACA that allows us to show the US what we're made of and that we really are no different. We just need to be given a chance to be productive and help pay back for the marvelous opportunities we've been given.

I can't tell you how excited I am to be able to legally pay taxes. It's a weird feeling but it's fantastic!

I'm on the same boat, how difficult is it to get the waiver? (Keep in mind that I have no proof of entry)
Re:I’ve lived illegally in the US for 25 years on Sunday November 13, 2016 @02:22PM (#12945087)
To be honest, my only relationship to Mexico is being born there. I highly doubt that my birth was a catalyst of economic destruction. I’m sure Mexico is doing fine without me. In the US however and in the past couple of years alone, I’ve pumped back hundreds of thousands of dollars back into the US economy.

That’s me alone, imagine what the number is combined with the other million that have DACA? I think it actually is a good thing.

I want to transform the way we use checkins and turn them into awesome real world experiences.

I have the idea, a v1 design, portion of the API, and incomplete web app prototype... all built by me. I lack the business plan in paper however have pretty cool ideas on how I can eventually generate income.

Is this enough to be considered? Have companies come to you with less while still being accepted?
