Re:Claudia – Desktop companion for Claude code on Sunday August 17, 2025 @06:47PM (#44935623)
what are some of the agents that people have built using Claude?
I really like it. How did you create rooms for playing with friends? Did you use a specific tech or open source library?

I am trying to implement the same for a game I am building but have no idea how to go about doing it.

Thanks in advance

Why not buy an 85” tv? They are dirt cheap and you can place them far. For webcam, I have used my dslr in the past but any webcam works as now Google meet autozooms in on the face
From company pov, yes. Because they want people who are driven to get to next stage.

From individual pov, no. Because everyone a different priorities in life.

Goal is to find the company where their expectation meets your priorities.

Re:Ask HN: What is the best way to author blogs in 2024 on Sunday July 21, 2024 @05:05AM (#41023595)
yeah I thought about it but then it defeated the purpose of comments i.e. engagement and perspective of reader. Substack does a good job at it
Re:Ask HN: What is the best way to author blogs in 2024 on Saturday July 20, 2024 @11:45PM (#41022221)
I use substack thinkingthrough.substack.com

I have hosted many in the past. Self hosted, wordpress, and a php version (I forgot what it was called)

The biggest problem with all those was dealing in spam comments and bad cross links.

Then I tried medium but it didn’t use to share subscriber emails.

Ended up migrating to Substack and been very happy with it for past 3 years

Does anyone knows if there are any instructions on how do you configure the money bot?
yeah thats correct. I meant this one https://voicebox.metademolab.com/
I looked into this problem a while back and haven’t looked at since.

The base ai model sounded like whisper ai from meta. Did you train the voice yourself or is it one of defaults?

I am always curious as to what copyright issues products like this run into. Also whats the stack like to build something like this?

Does anyone know what tech stack is used to align the audio with the text? How does specific section gets highlighted when the video reaches that mark and vice versa on how the video jumps to location where the text is clicked?
Re:Ask HN: How do you learn and research every day? on Monday February 26, 2024 @10:38PM (#39519886)
I have started using chatgpt with assistance on research and now I am able to go down rabbit holes faster and further on a topic i am researching.

The full technique is written on this post https://thinkingthrough.substack.com/p/going-down-the-rabbit...

tl;dr

“In my ChatGPT custom instructions, I have instructed ChatGPT to “Give me 2-4 follow-up questions that I can ask on the topic” (⬅ copy-paste that into your prompt ). And the results are marvelous.”

Re:Ask HN: Good tools to block websites/apps to focus? on Wednesday January 10, 2024 @05:07PM (#38944021)
My go-to macos app is https://selfcontrolapp.com/ I blocks websites but not apps.

If you are talking about native apps, then I am not sure. One thing I did was delete Slack app and logged in via slack-web. Then you can close the tab.

Re:Is my plane a 737 MAX? on Tuesday January 09, 2024 @01:01PM (#38929472)
Can someone tell what stack is used to build this website? I am new to FE and looking to understand how to create simple websites like this, where is the database, how are they connected/hosted, and how much it takes to run them monthly.

Thanks in advance
