Very cool! You mention VS Code crashing with a few agents. Have you measured how much lighter Abralo is in terms of memory and CPU compared to the equivalent setup in VS Code?

If you run the same query 10 times, do you get roughly the same results or is there a lot of variance?
Nice idea. If you select a team to follow and that team makes it to the later stages, do their later games also get added into your calendar? How does that work?

Since LLMs made it easy, I've been creating lots of single page websites for various purposes, e.g. slide decks, to-do lists, mini-games etc.. Then, I usually want to share them with people, but setting up proper hosting feels like overkill for a single file.This website (SiteSeeing.io) is just a very quick simple way for people to share their single-file HTML webpages with friends; there's no...

Hi HN,I often use whenisgood.net to help two or more people find a time for a meeting or event that works for everyone. It does the job, but after using it a lot I found the interface involved a bit too much set up and grid clicking, and I wanted a more natural way to express availability.Schedulegend lets people type their availability in plain English, for example: "next two weeks between...

I made a parody of Wordle called Hardle. You only get one guess, so it’s basically impossible — but fun to try. Built just for laughs and frustration :)
Interesting, I'll check it out thank you.
Just to be clear, it's not necessarily $10 each time you don't go. You set yourself a target like "4 times this week" or "10 times this month" and it's when you fail to hit your own target that you lose the money.
Interesting. That definitely makes sense.
Haha yeah I thought about this. But I guess everyone has a different idea about a bad cause. But yes a next version of this would let you select from a few different organisations.
Haha I take your point. I was originally going to make it so that you could choose your own amount, but I decided to keep it simple for version 1.
If people are interested in using it of course, I will let people stake what they like :)

I don't go to the gym as much as I should or want to. To give myself some financial motivation I made this website.First you set a goal for how many days you'll hit the gym. To prove you're at the gym, you will verify each visit by pressing a button on your phone (with location sharing on). You stake $10 as motivation and if you hit your target, you get the money back. If you fail, your $10...
Thank you. Yes this was my exact vision for it. Like a spider's web so that you can easily see which objections to any claims. And yes with some kind of voting feature. I just figured this would be an easy place to start and see if people were interested in it.

When I see online debates it soon becomes difficult to keep track of the various branches of claims and counter-claims. Here's my simple attempt to do so.A user can make claims (within a subject area) and anyone can make rebuttals to any of the claims.
Thanks for the comment. Yes that does sound like fun. I am thinking about opening up the platform so that anyone can host their own debates. But tagging the debates with logical fallacies and fact checks etc. would add a extra dimension!

I love watching online debates, but get frustrated when one person gets talked over and doesn't get an equal time to speak.I built a platform where where each debate participant gets an equal opportunity to express their thoughts and ideas without being talked over.Here's how it works:
- Each speaker has ten minutes talk time.
- Only one person can speak at a time; the other person is muted.
-...
I'm a little confused. If I search online the calories in a chicken breast, the first thing I see is 128 calories per chicken breast (
https://www.verywellfit.com/how-many-calories-in-chicken-bre...). The number of calories in green beans is relatively small and so 262 seems like a good estimate. How large were the chicken breasts?
Glad you like it :) I'll check out your suggestion too thank you!
Thank you so much for trying it out and for the feedback! Macros are certainly high on the to-do list :)
We had considered it, but we wanted to get some feedback from people before implementing any new features.
Hey there, thank you for trying it out. Having the text box is a great idea and we will implement that and let you know here in the comments when it's ready. You can't export data at the moment, but if that's something that people want then we can certainly implement it. Thank you for the feedback!
That's a great point, and one that most people are unaware of. The calories on the back of the food should come with a +/- uncertainty. People think they are accurate but they are allowed to be inaccurate without certain limits.
For most people, getting a rough idea is sufficient I think and much better than not tracking at all.
Thanks for trying it out - really glad you like it! Yes we will be adding macros very shortly :)

Hi guys,I created this app to solve one of my own problems: I found calorie tracking to be a real pain.Now, instead of scanning barcodes, scrolling through lists, or taking photos of food, I just speak into my phone (or computer), tell Calorio what I’ve eaten, and it handles the rest. It uses OpenAI’s APIs to process audio and map foods to calories.It’s free to use without an account, but if...
Very cool! Good job guys. Is it possible to quantify the accuracy in any way?
Cool idea! I have subscriptions for these things that sometimes I don't use very often.
