Show HN: Starcraft2 replay rendering engine and AI coach

https://www.starcraft2.ai/en/replay/72228e2b-569e-440d-9fcc-93e4a1f5a4b9

Starcraft2 is an old game, but it's always lacked a way to visualize game replays outside of the game itself.I built a replay rendering engine from scratch using the replay files and Claude Code.The replay files contain sampled position coordinates and commands that the player inputs. So I built an isometric view using the map and overlayed unit icons over the map, then interpolated the...

Show HN: Build your own Atlas/Comet AI-browser (open source)

https://github.com/tomkit/chromium-my-assistant

I forked Chromium and went through the plumbing to embed a ReactJS/NextJS web app in its Side Panel like OpenAI's Atlas browser and Perplexity's Comet browser.The Side Panel has access to the browser's DOM which you can pass as context to LLMs in your web app. Supports hot reloading for faster development.Hopefully this is helpful for web devs who haven't, or don't want to, touch C++ and...

Show HN: Supaglue – open-source unified API

Last month, we open-sourced Supaglue (https://github.com/supaglue-labs/supaglue) as a developer toolkit for building customer-facing Salesforce integrations. Since then, we've been iterating on our approach with users and are re-launching Supaglue as an open source unified API, starting with CRMs.With our re-launched public alpha you can:- Interact with HubSpot and Salesforce through a unified...

Merge (and other companies who take a unified API approach) are great for integrating many tools at the same time, but are not suited for going deep in a few critical integrations like Salesforce.

Many B2B SaaS products require deeper integrations and more customizability beyond what a common data model supports (e.g. custom objects). Supaglue is designed to solve for these use cases.

Show HN: Open-source platform for customer-facing Salesforce integrations

https://github.com/supaglue-labs/supaglue

We spent the past few weeks building Supaglue (https://github.com/supaglue-labs/supaglue) and would like to share an early public alpha version with you. Supaglue is an open source platform to help developers build customer-facing Salesforce integrations into their applications. Use code to define syncs for pulling objects from Salesforce into your application. Embed functional and customizable...

Interesting, but it would be more interesting to see these charts alongside a 5-10 yr returns graphs in the same said categories

You can't. What's needed is a framework and agreed-upon policy of what is acceptable due diligence in the community when taking investment money. Varying degrees of "organicness" for startups - like what you see in the meat section at Whole Foods.
Re:Who Are My Investors? on Sunday October 21, 2018 @02:56PM (#18269502)
Honorable, but it could also be a slippery slope: how far back do you look? If an LP, or investor in general, uses their personally earned money, but they earned it through capital gains from tainted money - let’s say from stock in a company with human rights issues - do you ask about that and if so do you take their investment?

If you only look at one degree, ie are your direct investors’ money clean, you could also be targeted for laziness in the “supply chain” of your investors’ money. This is similar to problems with blood diamonds, organic foods, unethical coffee etc.

What's needed is a framework and policy in the community for what's acceptable due diligence.

These models work if you have a small portion of users contributing (in this case providing cars). This is true for services like Wikipedia, etc.

When the creator of that video uses hyperbole throughout, one should know to look elsewhere for research/analysis (hopefully primary sources).

In a lot of SEA and EMEA markets road signs, signals, traffic lights, etc. are often non-existent, wrong or broken. Intersections may have 10-20 signs all oriented in a non-standard position.

Throw in motorists and bicyclists that are constantly swerving between lanes and inches from cars. Seeing current videos of how self-driving cars react, it would constantly be jerking in different directions.

There are also lots of local habits that self-driving cars would need to be trained to do, eg in Nepal when in a two lane and you spot an oncoming car, you turn on your right blinker to signal you see each other and can pass safely.

I'm breaking a 4 yr HN commenting-hiatus to post this: it's a bit disappointing to see how the quality of HN comments has deteriorated over the years. Virtually all the comments I'm seeing here are sensationalist sentiments/anecdotes, backed with no facts, reverberated in an echo chamber. This is a plead to the HN moderators to continue to iterate on your product to improve the quality of the comments.
