This is it in a nutshell. Great advice.
What is the point of this? Advertising ≠ reality.
It's always worked in Firefox for me? I also like this Firefox extension (https://github.com/WorldThirteen/youtube-watch-later-shortcu...) which allows mapping a keyboard shortcut for quickly adding YT videos to the "Watch Later" playlist.
$900 for this is laughable. Shame to see OSS tainted in this way.

Paid tier for a widget? The web is truly dead.

The epidemic of clearly LLM-generated READMEs has to stop. The emoji bullets are killing me.
Observation: If your blog post starts with a clearly AI-generated abstract, why would I be motivated to read the rest of it? It's unfortunately indistinguishable from AI slop.
These are extremely common these days. Here are a few I've collected over the past few months:

- [files-to-prompt](https://github.com/simonw/files-to-prompt) (from the GOAT simonw)

- [code2prompt](https://github.com/mufeedvh/code2prompt)

- https://gh-repo-dl.cottonash.com/

- [1filellm](https://github.com/jimmc414/1filellm)

- [repopack](https://github.com/yamadashy/repopack)

- [ingest](https://github.com/sammcj/ingest)

What makes yours better?

You completely misunderstood the comment you are replying to.
Re:OpenAI in Talks for Deal That Would Value Company at $80B on Friday October 20, 2023 @03:44PM (#37960626)
It’s very strange. I went down this rabbit hole a few months ago and this HN comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702) was the best summary I could find of the situation.

TLDR: archive.is doesn’t play nice with its DNS results and Cloudflare refuses to fix it on their end.

Re:OpenAI in Talks for Deal That Would Value Company at $80B on Friday October 20, 2023 @03:32PM (#37960490)
This only happens because you’re using Cloudflare DNS. Any other DNS will load the site just fine.
Re:Ask HN: Is paid search-engine model like Kagi viable? on Sunday September 03, 2023 @06:18PM (#37375137)
You shouldn't. If Kagi doesn't offer enough value for you to be worth that extra friction, don't use it. That's the free market at work.
Re:Understanding LangChain Basic Concepts on Wednesday July 12, 2023 @07:46AM (#36693143)
It’s open source mate. Just dig around in the source code for long enough. It’s not pretty, but you can usually figure out how they’re abstracting.

Re:Bitwarden PINs can be brute-forced on Sunday March 19, 2023 @01:52PM (#35221647)
"Bitwarden does not warn about this risk."

This is wrong. The Bitwarden client very clearly warns about storing your encryption key locally via a mandatory popup window, as seen here: https://i.imgur.com/BzXJmos.png

Re:GPT3 Is Just Spicy Autocomplete on Thursday February 02, 2023 @10:35AM (#34627978)
Oh, joy, another completely unoriginal contribution to the GPT-3 discourse adding absolutely nothing of value.

I particularly dislike the endorsement of Gary Marcus as an authority on ML/AI when he has only spread skepticism and FUD.

Re:Show HN: A macOS app to search for CLI commands quickly on Tuesday October 04, 2022 @06:06AM (#33078294)
As basically just a wrapper for the OpenAI API, why would I pay for this? I could do the sane thing in the OpenAI Playground.

Re:Ask HN: How do you decide what to eat/mealplan? on Saturday July 02, 2022 @11:30AM (#31959865)
Fantastic advice here. Meal prep has always been a struggle but this makes it seem much more doable.
Re:Paperless-NGX on Thursday March 31, 2022 @11:34AM (#30868355)
What do you mean by hosting? Both paperless-NGX and OCRmyPDF can be installed completely locally. Why not just install paperless which takes care of the OCR integration for you?
Not sure why this isn't getting more attention, this is awesome.
