Show HN: Insightful – guided coaching through reflection with AI
Hi HN,

I'm building a AI coach to guide reflection and help people find meaning in their experiences.

After not coding for about 10 years, I started learning python 6 months ago, did a few personal web scraping and data parsing projects. I wanted to work with some APIs, and the timing led me to GPT.

I've always been a big advocate for wellness having previously worked in youth development. For this project, I wanted to harness GPT's ability to understand language in a way to deepen a person's understanding of an experience but also reduce or limit potentially harmful AI hallucinations.

While I don't think AI is capable of replacing human therapists or coaches yet, a tool like this could either lighten the load for them to serve more severe cases, or provide early support for underserved clients due to high cost, or not enough practitioners.

I have not implemented saving of past discussions yet. And I've removed logins for the next few days to make it easier for you all to check out.

Let me know what you think.

I'm also looking for more potential users to talk to. If you've had experience or are interested in personal, life coaching and would like to have a 15min chat about what worked and what didn't, let me know.

> But LLMs do not solve natural language understanding in any of the meanings that the phrase meant before LLMs.

Are you saying that NLP as a field of research did not exist before LLMs? This is a continuation of research that has been in progress for decades.

> But there is no world representation inside an LLM, only text (words, letters) representations, so nothing the LLM does can be based on reasoning in a traditional sense.

Not true. The model has learned a representation of semantic relationships between words and concepts at multiple levels of abstraction. That is the entire point. That's what is was trained to do.

It's a vast and deep neural network with a very high dimensional representation of the data. Those semantic/meaning relations are automatically learned and encoded in the model.
I'm assuming your not canadian. Canadian content is a tax we (canadians) all pay, being forced to wade through a sea of government approved crap to actually watch a good show. It benefits some small elite class of people, it's not for "difficult" Canadian customers.
The GP also posted the item to HN. They said the title is a reduced version of the quote. I was pointing out that it's not an accurate one.

Edit: the title has since been corrected, so my comments no are no longer relevant

my guess is most people in this comment section aren't from NYC
I’m reminded of the last story in Buster Scruggs. The conversation had by a group of such different people. …so long as the train isn’t going to the same destination.
I think it is important that a discussion about something should actually involve the original something. Informed discussion should be ... informed. I think it is facile to appear to actively encourage discussion that is demonstrably uninformed of the OP.

A couple of months ago, I speculated on this very forum that there must be companies that actively hoover up all of you app and cookie data to build an on-demand profile of you. Someone pointed me to "acxiom", which grudgingly, over the course of two months gave me a dump of what they knew about me. A lot of it was wrong, but they knew what stores I shopped at, my diet, and what cars I was considering buying. Disturbingly, they had a list of third parties who had purchased information about me, and one was an unnamed healthcare provider who had bought my location data. So, that's where we are as a society now. Sleep tight.

The structure seems to be ideal for withstanding winds, the winds would go around the building as it's round rather than rectangular. Seems professionally built yurts commonly can withstand ~220km/h or more, so I don't think it would super farfetched that a amateur built one could withstand half of that.
Driving and parking would cost even more. Pretty typical of commuting into major cities.

Commuting into a city, especially without free parking, on a daily basis costs a lot.
IBM to pause hiring in plan to replace 7,800 jobs with AI News
This is what I have done for years:
Cellular is always off anywhere near my house. I only turn on cellular when needed. I use Graphene which allows WIFI to be used without cellular for my VOIP calls on voip.ms or jmp.chat. I have been using prepaid cash purchased SIMs but might switch to silent.link. The only way for the carrier to know where I am is if they do something funny on the proprietary baseband modem.
Yes and fasting does not cure RA
> What's the percentage of overall income? Half of that? So low that your argument holds very little water.

Yeah, about that. Do you think most working class people are flippant about costs that take 2.5% of their pre-tax income?

I'm in favor of the €49/month ticket. It's a step forward. But I genuinely don't understand how (and it feels like some sort of cultural or social class disconnect) that seems trivial to people, and wonder if it's not being acclimatized to German non-tech incomes.
It's leading to some interesting developments in Africa, where stranded hydropower is generating income for remote villages and helping them expand their local economy. https://twitter.com/GridlessCompute/status/16504702926307164...

and then one considers pretty much all other countries, the ONLY thing making it different here, is that while the US is happy to kill its citizens, the other countries are even more happy to have their tax slaves that they prefer to imprison for decades and then try see if they can extract more via taxes. Gotta do ANYTHING to keep the tax slaves paying
Does this thing actually exist or is it just a pretty website?
The best license plate readers are the ones that not only optically lift those alphanumeric symbols off of either license plate but also does:

1. identify your car stereo bluetooth ID

2. any bluetooth devices on your vehicle

3. has direct access to national registry of stolen plates

4. and a mobile modem in which to send alerts with.

5. HD webcam auto-zooming to the driver's side of the vehicle.

6. lift On-Star ID

Hey, what do I know? I'm just spitballing out there.
You're saying public transport is on the same level as roads. Most roads are free to use because they're maintained with tax money, just like free public transport would be, because they're both in the public's interest.
GradIEEEnt half decent: The hidden power of imprecise lines [video]
So call me, maybe!!
No, "the computer" allows the artist to be exposed to a magnitude of various arbitrary and curated creative decisions that can help guide their work and their intent.

Here's a stupid personal and anecdotal example:

I've been trying to teach myself to do watercolor paintings of my photography.

That's been going OK, but with the help of img2img, I can "quickly" generate thousands of variations of Watercolor paintings of my OWN work, then choose the various elements I like, then I paint them into one painting. Which have led my freehand painting skills to improve at a much higher rate.

If however I just put up a feed of the generated watercolors from Sdiff, it would be immediate obvious. Of course, that's right now and doesn't speak to the vast improvements that are on the horizon.

This is what I'm personally seeing in my own circles of overlapping art creators trying to experiment with AI.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that: Artist will find ways to make their intentions stand out, whatever the tools we all have access to.
This is such an incredible achievement. Disappointing that it didn't get more attention in the comments here.

A word of caution for everyone talking about RA here. RA is just a simple name we give to a number of conditions that share similar symptoms but we dont really know if they are all related and if they share the same root causes or not. Its not a very specific disease that you can diagnose, so what may have worked for you does not carry much bearing on what would work on someone else with a condition labeled as RA

The debt ceiling isn't what prevents us from spending money we don't have.

Congress causes deficit spending to happen by passing budgets. The debt ceiling is more like refusing to pay your credit card bill after you've already used it to buy stuff.
Waypoint was lost. Good gaming media is like a big water droplet that keeps on getting smushed by a the big dumb thumb of capitalism. It still shifts to a new spot, but ever diminishing. One of the rare ones that even made money. Still, gone.
One subtle distinction: it has helped Canadian artists that are producing "Canadian Content" [1], not all Canadian artists. If you are a Canadian singer in a band with a song that was composed by your American band mate, you are SOL. The main criticism of this bill is that with richer media content, this line becomes increasingly ambiguous (e.g. see the rules for television [2]). It seems likely that the outcome will be a lot more power for Canadian media giants (via industry groups and trade organizations) and smaller Canadian creators will be worse off, with forced algorithmic priority given to "certified" content.

DHS—a very biased institution that has benefits of inflating the number—estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants residing in the USA in 2018 (the most recent number I could find), the foreign born population that same year was estimated at 36 million, meaning undocumented were at most one third of all immigrants. By far majority of the 11 million undocumented came from Mexico or central America. The path to legal status is extremely difficult from those countries and it is reasonable to assume majority of them would had taken the legal route if possible and had indeed family and/or jobs awaiting them across the border. While some may indeed have sacrificed everything, I very much doubt that figure is much higher than in the hundreds of thousands.

https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/immigra...

But than again, listen to what you are saying. Do you honestly want to live in a society where people are asked to “sacrificed everything” just because they happened to be born and raised a poor part of the country? Would you honestly prefer people struggle all of their childhood and most of their lives as young adults, only to than be forced to abandon their entire family, just to have maybe a shot at a better life? It may just be me, but I honestly would prefer there to be regulations and social services in place such that these lives are made easier.
Nothing has changed about this in the last thirty years
I have enjoyed many VICE videos on YouTube. Unfortunate.
Most of these types of outlets are doomed by the dawn of language models, but it’s all our jobs that they keep saying are at risk.
> It pushed some local artist to get creative and come out with some electronic traditional music, which frakly, sucked

You gotta start somewhere. I lived through a similar transition in a different country, I hated the law at the time for the same reasons. However, it lit a fire under the local music industry which now supports more artistes than before. The music now sucks much less, and the local subgenres are unique and wouldn't otherwise exist.
Government-approved, advertiser-approved - what's the diff? It's all garbage when it's being forced on you.
High interest rates incentivize people to save now to spend more in the future and low interest rates incentivize people to spend now and spend less in the future.
Young people tend to be in the spend now camp as they purchase homes, cars and other big ticket items that they will pay with based on increasing incomes. Older people tend to save now so they can purchase what they need in the future when they have declining incomes.
The ratio of young to old influence interest rate demand.

Having him come out and say this doesn’t change the equation. The race is on to develop and control AGI, it will be probably become national security priority for most countries. LLMs currently needs another quantum leap or 4 to reach AGI, hardware will also need as much or less
There are other ways of using money to beat someone instead of delaying the trial. For instance, by making the cost of participating in the trial more than the cost of capitulating. See, for example, SLAPP suits.

But my point, which I keep making and you keep missing is that the incredible legal muscle of big banks means they don't have to worry about giving in on gray areas because they can effectively fight back. Whereas smaller companies will find it a lot simpler to give in to government pressure on the edge cases.

It was bad even for some of them. (https://www.science20.com/quantum_gravity/blog/phd_octopus_w... ) A one-size-fits-all approach to education and credentialing is the original mistake.

A secondary mistake for Ph.D.s in particular is requiring an original contribution to science instead of a demonstration of appropriate levels of mastery, because this requirement really screws over students who realize that their thesis is wrong, or intractable, too late. And even worse incentivizes cheating above and beyond the already existing incentives.

> Would there be less incentive to do bullshit studies and cave to political pressures and bribes if the people doing the studies didn't need the job to survive?

People who genuinely need the job to survive, quit, and get a job that allows them to survive, sometimes alternating this with academia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Streleski ). Or like the graduate students and Post-docs at the University of California, they band together and strike.

Social pressures and sunken-cost fallacies affect enough people of all socioeconomic classes. Especially when the added grief is spun as a status symbol.
There are a few ways to find my content.
1. Follow me
2. Find my note in a hashtag / interest-based relay or in global chat (global will probably not remain for long as the network grows and it gets too noisy / spammy). You'll have interest based relays / tags, however that gets structured. Right now there are no interest-based relays that I know of (yet).
3. Via a boost (equiv. to retweet).
4. Via some sort of ranker. Some clients rank posts by activity.

In general, you have to follow people to discover content you want to see, but it's not a requirement (as outlined above). I definitely think the Nostr experience for people improves dramatically as they follow a few folks.
Some commercial sites definitely break reader modes on purpose. I think this is more a case of a Safari bug. The site's text content is just served in raw divs inside table rows. The quoted Usenet posts are inside pre elements inside table rows. A div is more of a logical grouping element than a text-containing block element. So Safari's reader is showing the first text-containing block element it finds.

If you want to break reader mode in Safari I guess the secret is to just use horribly mangled HTML. TIL.

Tourists will often just take taxis. Why fool around with figuring out the particulars of the local mass transit for a few trips over a short time.

Last time I was in Copenhagen I asked at the hotel desk how to get to the airport on public transit and the guy said just take a taxi it will be faster and much easier for you.
Yes, and you can do so by saying "the article mentions that..." like gp pointed out.
> online undertakings shall clearly promote and recommend Canadian programming, in both official languages as well as in Indigenous languages

That was what I was commenting about easy customers. Netflix has a lot of content in English, and I'd imagine French, but they'd need to also support Indigenous languages. Are you suggesting Indigenous people are the small cadre of elites in Canada?
>I've never heard anybody think setting "location services" to "off" prevented your cell service from detecting your location and presence, which can then of course be shared with law enforcement.

Notice the article authors' age.

Unlike most of us, they likely never used a pre-internet-capable cellphone.
The design of the hammer makes it easy to miss the nail, and you need some skill in order to use it effectively. A nail gun is an example of a better tool for driving nails, since it’s faster and allows for greater accuracy.

Similarly, you can ask ChatGPT for an answer and it might get something wrong. It takes some skill to know how to interpret and verify the response. If a user takes the response as truth without question, it’s partially the user’s fault.
Sorry I am not familiar with Mastadon.
>And one way for the executive branch to check the judicial branch is to disregard judicial rulings that are blatantly unconstitutional.

That is not at all how the Constitution is set up. There is no explicit power for the executive to ignore the judicial. It has happened once in US history, when Andrew Jackson continued his genocide against the Cherokee after the Supreme Court had ordered it stopped. "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!", Jackson supposedly said.

It would be a VERY BAD precedent to do that again. It would be a huge step towards enshrining the President as a dictator.

Society can not allow people to be uninsured while also forcing medical care providers to treat emergencies as we currently do. It's a horrible moral hazard and increases health care costs for everyone else. There is no political will to end the "hospitals must admit people even if they don't have insurance" rule, so we had to do something about getting everyone insured.
I think most languages have a concept of "expression" where the meaning of the words is not what they mean literally, but something else.

Under the circumstances, clemency does seem like the best option to me. However, it does not roll back the guilty verdict, which would(?) be possible if resolved within the judicial arm rather than the executive.
The US has largely been failing to enforce license plate laws since Covid began. Yglesias has written some about the problem here: https://www.slowboring.com/p/we-cant-tolerate-fake-expired-a...

You are totally correct that our failure to enforce these laws enables quite a lot of other crime.
