Re:Show HN: YakGPT – A locally running, hands-free ChatGPT UI

It is more local than talking to chat GPT directly. Open AI stores all your requests on their server. This saves it on your computer. The title also claims it's a UI which always, for now, runs locally.

That question implies that they couldn't land a nuke in Japan or South Korea currently. I think their current rockets have that capability.

Re:Show HN: I made a simulator for personal finance
on Wednesday April 28, 2021 @01:06PM (#26971674)
I had to create a small simulator[0] a few months ago to figure out my personal finances for my first job and to figure out how early I could move out without acquiring debt. I wanted to compare different options so I could weigh the impact of my decisions on how much money I could save.
I like the idea of plans but they feel a bit bulky to use and you can't compare them. If you could directly compare plans against each other I think I would find it more useful. Also making them faster to create could be nice. I can change all the defaults in the actual view so why force me to go through the pages?
I do like the stacked breakdown of each plan and the behind the scenes calculation of taxes, investing and inflation.
