Show HN: Webbu – Assistant for the Browser
Show HN: Webbu - assistant for the browser

Hi HN! Fernando here. I want to show you the first version of Webbu (https://webbu.app/), an assistant, like Alexa, but for the browser. For example, you can change the color of a website by saying "make the background blue". We have all been spending more time in the browser, and Webbu wants to be right there with you, helping you get things done quickly. There's also a 1 min. demo video on the website.

This is just the first version and it doesn't have many skills but I want to put it out there early so that folks can contribute to it. Anyone can create skills and the project itself is open source (https://github.com/fersarr/webbu_backend). If there is any revenue in the future, it will be shared with all the skill creators and open source contributors.

I will shortly create a tutorial on how to create skills. Basically, you can do it in a no-code fashion by using a combination of steps like "type text", "change style", "open a URL", etc. Additionally, you will be able to create skills programmatically in the backend.

Thanks for reading! and feel free to drop any comments or ideas.
Thanks! I was thinking if I should point that out or not. Their GitLab [0] is a good place to see just how far the project has come as well.

So, yes she's misrepresenting things to her electorate, in order to bring in a load of surveillance. But please don't think she wants to spy on everyone, totalitarian style - no, no she's just being bribed (sorry, I meant "lobbied").

People can do whatever they want, I will continue to be positive toxic.

When someone asks me how I am doing I am always "great". If anything it is a form of self hypnosis to boost my own mood. Of course there is a contagion when it comes to individual mood both positive and negative.

I use it for the same purpose as well, a friend left on a trip and his fridge lost power, spoiling thousands of dollars worth of his small baking business materials.

What we call our SALP experiment
We are involved in the entrepreneurial ecosystem with our robust services. What is the main problem faced by entrepreneurs? Focus is to falter without getting suggestions. If you have a minimum PR and at least one invoice, investors will turn to you, but you cannot be a sustainable venture. With its artificial intelligence and machine learning-based suggestions, SALP matures startups and prepares them for investors. You can try our service for free for 1 month, where we determine the valuation of the early stage startups that are currently live with our machine. Let's experience it yourself! (www.salpglobal.com)
You are putting things in a manner that is too concrete. Politicians do not always need money that is going directly to their pockets.

UvdL has been mentioned in connection with nepotism before (by the German state radio!):

After that scandal she failed upwards to Brussels. Politicians that are that unassailable should face extended scrutiny. Who protects her and why?

Light cases are usually under reported. This bias increases the fatality rate. Initial COVID fatality rates initially seemed a lot higher due to under reporting too. It even varied a lot from country by country due to different mechanisms for reporting. So personally I'd take this 1 out of 10 with a grain of salt.
This casually ignores the point being made. Tether is a fuel. USDT printed money without backing and pumped it into exchanges/btc/eth.

Without that upward pressure, there will be nothing preventing btc/eth from freefalling. Heck without that, what is the point of the above coins either.

It's a false believe that only those who declare neutrality can tell the truth and everything said by anyone with an agenda must be a lie made to further their goals. On the contrary those who strive for/against something have the energy required to uncover truth, to tell it again and again even when facing opposition.

Yes we want neutral journalism, but that means to look at all sides and verify the facts, it does not mean to completely disregard something because a source is not neutral. It does not mean to disregard facts because they align with some ideology.

We also want neutral judges, but when the accused says they did not do the crime, and accuser says they did, and the evidence says they did, the neutral judge should not disregard the evidence because it aligns with one side. That is not what neutrality means.

Religion is only an excuse for hate and violence. Most of the population has already found their favorite enemy in the west, primarily USA, Germany, Israel.

That would be because you're from one of those countries that treat the European Union seriously.

In every pre-2004 EU member state, EU institutions are a graveyard for politicians. It's where they get sent to retire.

Of course, this was no harm, no foul back when the EU basically didn't have any power at all.

But the power of the EU has only steadily increased.
Yeah, I did feel a little weird writing commentaries on Knuth's writing just like he was writing commentaries on Paul's. Fortunately no one thinks I am obliged to regard Knuth as perfectly free from error.

(Speaking of not being perfectly free from error, in my earlier comment I wrote "if that's the right idea" but of course I meant "if that's the right word", but I didn't notice until after it was too late to edit.)
One of the largest* tax deductions comes from the paying of people’s wages for jobs. That’s a tax deduction where the economic benefit of the overall transaction goes much more to the wage recipient than to the entity taking the deduction.

It seems unreasonable for employers to not be able to deduct that amount and for the government to somehow pay them a fraction of what it costs to employ people.

* - I suspect it’s the largest overall, but didn’t have time to do the research to satisfy myself that it’s the single largest, but it’s clearly one of the largest.
Cool. I guess something that 'mundane' didn't make as much of a splash as the initial report.
For magic obviously. USD isn't going anywhere anytime soon. You think China holds $1 trillion worth of treasuries because they love propping up the US? Nope. They have no choice...no other country has markets as deep and liquid as the Fed and the fact that global trade requires USD just makes it a self-reinforcing position.
What a grand and intoxicating innocence!
I love that “some private US platforms do content moderation so therefore the US is morally equivalent to the Chinese government” has filtered down from our broken US politics into a weaponized defense of the CCP.

>In recent years, ETIM has set up bases outside China to train terrorists and has dispatched its members to China to plot and execute terrorist acts including bombing buses, cinemas, department stores, markets and hotels. ETIM has also undertaken assassinations and arson attacks and has carried out terrorist attacks against Chinese targets abroad. Among the violent acts committed by ETIM members were the blowing up of the warehouse of the Urumqi Train Station on 23 May 1998, the armed looting of 247,000 RMB Yuan in Urumqi on 4 February 1999, an explosion in Hetian City, Xinjiang, on 25 March 1999 and violent resistance against arrest in Xinhe County, Xinjiang, on 18 June 1999. These incidents resulted in the deaths of 140 people and injuries to 371.

web infrastructure is not the same as web development...infrastructure is what allows developers and users to build and use the apps. C does make sense for these things.
Stuff like Curl I think is written in C more due to historical reasons (Unix is written in C so all of its apps are in C), I don't see any major con if it was written in Python (which is a big high level wrapper over C in the end...) - it would be a tad slower and a bit more memory yeah, but in todays world I don't know how much of a difference it makes.
The real problem comes though when you actually do research to try to find a good charity to give to.

Tax is a side show here. The issue I found is when trying to find a good charity an overwhelming amount of the money is spent on "fund raising" and exactly what this article is talking about. I quit giving to charity besides the local food bank. Literally everything else seemed like a scam. The more the name of the charity pulls on the heart strings the better chance it is a scam too.
It's okay to not like things. Just don't be a dick about it to the people that use them or imply that the people that use them are lesser because of it. The people that use those things almost certainly agree with you, but leading into conversations with toxicity makes the introspection part of people's brains turn off. If you want to have a productive conversation about something, doing that is antithetical to your goals.
The complicated number encoding scheme you mentioned is a hexfloat: C has them too.

Hexfloat can be really useful when you need precise/exact floating-point constants for numerical methods. Without them, you end up having to do more-complicated hacks to preserve exact constant values when code gets compiled, or you have to live with compilers (sometimes) subtly altering constants.

I wish more languages supported hexfloats.

Same field, same time. This allows each crop to share different proportions of the soil nutriments, but also help each other because you reduce the pest load as pest do not target the same way the different crops.

This is the same principle we have in mixed forestry (where I have more experience).
Yeah that's probably a factor. They don't want to go the route of manual intervention. But they should have other sources of information that they can use.
Can I put everything on the left side? I like reading and typing so that I don't get distracted, so I open up a text editor on the side, but most websites have all the text in the middle, so I can't have them both open. How do I do that?
Yeah. On top of that google seems to prefer giving videos, categorically. Youtube results are shown first for many, but not all, types of queries. Not entirely clear what the distinction is. But it's not like it alternates video, web link, video, implying that they're sorted in terms of match rate even ignoring gross SEO. It's just video first.
> And the bug should be fixed in the driver, yes.

But that's the problem. The developer has no power to make that happen. Between vendors failing to support their chips once they released to the public and users failing to upgrade their machines... Some of the Intel bugs are over a decade old.

This is one of those network effect problems not unlike the question of whether a website is broken if it doesn't work under Firefox. If a game doesn't work on a user's computer, the game is broken, not the computer.

This whole conversation has raised an interesting point, because bugs like that will never be fixed in the driver. And similarly, different versions of web browsers have different quirks and bugs in their implementations. I suspect you could build quite a fingerprinting profile by tickling those bugs and quirks... Not just in the webgl implementation, but in the DOM implementation, etc.
That does not make sense to me at all. As a single user, where is the relation between "namespace files" and "metadata" when all I want is to upload some images to a folder named foo or 2022?

Indeed, only the actions of the oppressor are "almost exactly the same".

The Uygars have so far been a lot more peaceful in their oppression.

I also find that Israel is very good in presenting itself in the western MSM, while China seems to have the western MSM against it lately. That makes me also a bit more hesitant to accept the MSM's China critiques.

> what do you do when the nuclear reactor goes down because it's time to refuel, or because it's heating up the river too much in a heat wave (eg in France), or because some sensor valve froze shut in an decade-frequent cold snap (Texas)?

> You get the power from some other generator on the grid at a different geographic location.

Nuclear has a much better uptime then current renewable tech. In the winter, there is zero sunshine in North America for 10+ hours a day. And it just so happens that we hit peak energy usage while the sun is down.

For nuclear, you only need storage "peaker plants" to smooth out demand. To go all in on renewalable and solar, you actually need to be able to service 100% of demand, for many hours, from storage. It won't be feasible for decades.

I think your estimate for tens of TWh/year by mid 2030s is reasonable. But most of that is for EVs. Tesla has the largest currently running and the largest in-the-pipeline lithium ion battery factories, but all those batteries are going straight into an EV.

Even if we dedicated 100% of batteries we can produce to be grid storage, we wouldn't have enough until ~2040. And, by the way, they all need to be replaced by 2050 because the cells all degrade and become dangerous.

In reality, the spare production capacity we can dedicate to grid storage will always be small. I'm not convinced it can even catch up with our growing energy usage in our lifetime.

Actually, in my case I put my address and got the next screen asking for PII with the text:

> Deposit Due Today $99.00

But no final price. The service is not yet available in my area, the site says that it is expected in 2023, so presumably they do not know how to price it yet. That makes one wary to put down a deposit.
They missed the point.

noscript/basic (x)html browsers are not grotesquely and absurdely complex and massive (including their SDK) and though, can perform a good enough job for bazillions of services provided over the internet.

Namely, even if you have an army of coders with infinite time and code a lean and simple C (C89 with benign bits of C99/C11) "modern" web engine, it won't change the core of the problem.
This article went in a completely opposite direction I thought it would be going.

>It's probably higher than 90/10 by any metric

Sexual abuse against men is about 50/50 men and women alone. Even if sexual abuse against women was predominantly male perpetrators, you'd need a far, far higher number of female sexual abuse numbers to get over 90/10. Again, good luck trying to claim that when there are so many social issues masking the true numbers.

That's not to mention a large part of arguments rely on "men in charge", whereas most of the developed world is giving women increasingly more power, at least partially nullifying the former.

It's not whataboutism trying to misdirect to an unrelated issue, it's a broadening of the examination of the same conflict and behaviour by the same involved parties.

I would actually agree with you that some incidents perpetrated by the Israeli military and government probably do rise to the level of war crimes. That's quite true. However I don't think it's misdirection to point out that in the same conflict the frequently stated objective, and in some cases official policy of many parties on the other side of the conflict is the planned execution of war crimes and genocide.
