I built Fiscal (fscl), a headless CLI for Actual Budget that's optimized for AI agents running in the terminal (Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc).It acts as an Actual Budget client, so it can sync with an existing Actual server. I built it because I wanted an agent-friendly way to handle repetitive budgeting work while still being able to review everything in the Actual web dashboard.Site/docs:...

Just like AI will kill all the software developers...
Obviously AI will change the legal industry. But a lawyer will still have an advantage because they know what questions to ask and can provide the AI with the relevant context.
Happened to me as well.
Side note, why isn't this on the front page? The points to recency ratio seems high enough.

Hi HN,
I’m Ben, long time web developer but this is my first time building a macOS app. I film a lot of tutorial and talking-head content and wanted to make it easier to chop out mistakes. So I built CutWord, a macOS app that lets you mark cue points with voice commands while you’re recording.Once the app downloads a Whisper model everything runs locally, so nothing leaves your machine. You can...
A native MacOS app called CutWord that turns command words spoken during video recording into automatic timeline edits.
You can grab a TestFlight link at https://cutword.com
I agree that the number of years matter, but Walt Disney died in 1966.
Imagine if they re-released this with the chip and screen of an M4 iPad Pro.
Love the idea of preserving the simplicity of flat files for managing your content but dynamically loading them into a database to make sorting and filtering easier and more performant. I did something similar for my Laravel markdown blogging engine[0].

I've deployed a number of Laravel apps in both traditional and serverless architecture. I have to say I'm pretty excited about Laravel cloud. Not that deploying Laravel is hard, but for a full fledged app there's a number of moving parts that I'd rather not deal with.
Plus if you're building apps for clients handing off the whole hosting side of things sounds amazing.
My wife and I direct deposit the first 90% of our paychecks to a shared savings account. Our family's living expenses are transferred from there to a shared checking account on the first of each month.
The other 10% goes into our personal checking accounts to spend on whatever we want.
Got mine on launch day. I use it once or twice a week for content consumption. Very similar to how I would use an iPad.
Looks like 8K context length. Seems to compare well against Gemini Pro 1.5 and Claude 3 Sonnet according to the included benchmarks.
I've been using one of these for the last two years and definitely feel more rested on the nights I wear it. Never tried a CPAP so I can't speak to the comparative effectiveness. The brand I've been using is called Silent Nite.
Had a sleep study done years ago that showed mild sleep apnea, but at the time wasn't severe enough to warrant a CPAP.
The elastic isn't used for support. There's a BOA style dial that tightens things down.
I expect that locally installed models will quickly resemble how we think about drivers today. In the short term you'll install a notes app that requires Mixtral-8x7B so you pull that in through ollama. Down the line all operating systems will ship with various models preinstalled.
I see foreign keys the same way I see types. You may not need them, but they catch a lot of mistakes and give you more confidence in the integrity of your system.
I tried hard to get a bluesky invite a few months ago. Even put a few bids on ebay hoping to get one for less then $100. The fomo has since passed. Probably wouldn't bother signing up if I got one today.
On one of my apps I ask for a plain text response first and then make a second call to parse the original response to json.

Adobe (and others) have offered tools like Warp Stabilizer that analyze the image to calculate movement. In my experience they are able to smooth things out a bit but nothing compared to what a gryo can do. Plus those image based tools take a long time to calculate.
I tried to use this with my Sony camera about two years ago and just could not get consistent results. Currently using Sony's Catalyst Browse which does a great job stabilizing the footage but the workflow is poor.
Looks like Gyroflow has a plugin for DaVinci Resolve[1]. If the stabilization has been improved and could be done right in Resolve I will definitely us this.

I like this example and I'd agree that tracking people at scale can be immoral depending on the circumstances. But to me it feels that way because something is being taken from you. You've lost your agency to be anonymous or to leave your past behind.
But I don't see how an LLM training on your works deprives you of something you had before.
I have no idea how the courts will end up resolving this legally. In the meantime I've been thinking a lot about the morality of this alleged theft.
Most of us would agree that duplicating and selling someone's book is immoral. Similarly I think we'd all agree that reading multiple books to learn about a topic and then writing your own is perfectly fine.
So where does an LLM trained on millions of books fall? Personally, I don't find it immoral but I know others will disagree. I'd be curious to hear arguments for the immorality of LLMs trained on copyrighted works.

Hi, I'm Ben Bjurstrom and I've been hacking away on a meal planning site called MealPractice for the last couple years. The main goals for the site are:1. Enable users to create weekly meal plans, either from individual recipes or from a collection of recipes saved as a menu.
2. Allow users to publish the meals they're actually cooking, helping them identify their core meals and enabling...
Thanks! Based on that article it seems that anyone who's reselling T-Mobile service would be vulnerable.
Was thinking about moving a line to Google Fi for this reason. I know they just resell T-Mobile bandwidth, but would they provide better account level security? Is it common for Google Fi customers to get SIM swapped?
