Build custom apps on top of OpenAI models
Hey! This is Akhil, Abhinav, and Giri. We have been working on SuperDash for the last few months, and we know some tools have come into this space. But what we found really interesting is the type of apps our customers are building on top of our API. It’s quite different from what is available in the market.

So, right from day one, we were adding this intricate customizability to our backend without realizing that we could actually end up going in this direction.

We've seen our customers use our API to build:

-- A WhatsApp chatbot trained on specific country laws.

--A Bible Android app.

--A recruitment app to speed up onboarding.

--A customer support bot on WhatsApp.

-We can handle extremely large datasets and have helped companies train custom spreadsheets, complex PDFs, JSONs, etc.
- When companies mention customization, they typically mean prompt customization. However, we can provide even more customization for your specific use case. Please reach out to discuss.
- We have also added a quick re-training module, which allows non-technical members to manage and feed data to modify the system's behavior.

We would like to take this opportunity to discuss more ideas with you. Join us on Discord here https://discord.com/invite/xJJfYjxcqy and visit our website at www.superdashhq.com.

If you believe that AI can solve a problem you are facing, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thanks

Out of all of the people in the world who do at least a few hours of video editing a year, what percent do you think are Serious Professionals?
Flowtype works like this out of the box. In my opinion, it's a much better default.
I am currently reading Kolyma Tales, during the pandemic I read the Gulag Archipelago - while the times are different his critique and analysis of society and the way human being behave in bad times are just as relevant today in the West.
Not just bedrock; their grip has been tightening around Java edition too as of late.
I mean I’d say no on both accounts. Are you so familiar with the irish legal system that you’re confidant both of these would be made illegal by the law as written? I’m not. Both of those things are not getting charged under the canadian system and i’m pretty sure the wording of our law isn’t too far different from the proposed irish law.
To me, the really weird part is that they literally renamed the company over this. Five years from now people will be asking, "So, why is Facebook called Meta?" And we're going to have to answer, "Well, funny story. Actually, stupid story, and not really funny."
> the required information was within the model the whole time.

This, being a restatement of the concept of "latent space", though... makes me realize even more how much I hate that concept. Yes, every color or every pixel in a 2D square exists in the enormous multidimensional latent space of a model. But when that space is essentially "all images never seen before, all books never written," then consigning all that to potential model output if you rub the genie the right way is the same as wasting your three wishes on nothing. For your and my latent creative space is just as multidimensional and broad, but has the benefit of intersecting with reality.

Intersecting with reality narrows all our potential output down significantly and also increases the chances that we'll fill a blank square with more signal than noise, so therefore, we know that limits are good and beneficial to structured thought... and yet still, there's this crazy obsession with the unbounded latent space.

Is it a signal that we've become unmoored from reality, that we'd build a tower to heaven out of actual babble?
True but it's not very good as a laptop replacement. It's much more expensive than an Air and can't run the same apps. While doing my research it seemed a lot of people either already had a laptop or preferred to have a laptop if they had to pick one.
This is coming from a Surface 5 user - I gave up eventually because it was never powerful enough, but it is a much better approach to multi-input laptop replacement since it can run anything.
yeah, because you want to use the internal speaker while watching the video on a projector screen ...

I understand what you are saying, and it sucks indeed, but there are other systems that have exactly the same 'problem' and in real life this is a problem for the minority of people. apple sells to the masses, and they will do what the majority of the people want/need/use. Sure, it sux if you dont fit in that group, but that has been the thing with most big vendors of things.
Just to update, We are back online after 3 days. We made no changes since Saturday when we took down the demo site.

For 3 days everyone that visited ANY page in our whole domain was given a notice that we were being deceptive and attempting to steal their personal information and were practicing social engineering. This kind of thing that would cause a person's own mother to question their integrity.

We were never able to communicate with a person at Google. Never received an explanation of the cause. A Bot or AI tried and convicted us, and enacted our punishment. And that is the world we live in today. We still do not know what we did wrong. So now, what step do we take?

In almost all organizations outside of IT, IT is at the bottom of the social ladder. They gotta do what management wants.

And that won't change until enough large organizations get hit hard by fines that everyone else follows suit and hires actually capable CTOs with veto power over everyone else.

Marketing by whom? Why do you get to decide what is marketing speak and what isn’t? Why does closed ecosystem work better? Why is “walled” more positive than “closed”, or “garden” more positive than “ecosystem”? And finally, why are some people so absolutely obsessed with the idea that the words we use to describe things have such mystical and overwhelming power?

I have never been to Chick-Fil-A and received food in less than 30 minutes, ever. Always takes forever, in the same category with In-N-Out. At least In-N-Out is more reasonably priced. Doesn't matter how many order takers you have standing around, the kitchen can only make so much food at a time.

A UI/UX designer wrote the code.

Now I’m not saying coding is rocket science (because it isn't), but there are certain types of people who are a little (too?) obsessed with thinking of ways their logic can break and covering it with checks and tests… I'm guessing that designers are less likely to be one of those.

I love designers, btw. I think UI/UX is a hugely underrated discipline (see: "dark patterns", designing for safety). But unless you stare at logic all day, the implications of a code change like this might not immediately strike you as a risk.

Disagree completely. You don't really get the Pynchon experience. If it has to be a single book, make it Gravity's Rainbow.
Given that knowingly visiting one of these locations exposes you to potential liability in the state of Texas, I wonder whether this exposes Google itself to any liability -- especially if there's any chance that they might log you at an abortion clinic when you in fact were next door . . .
Yep, I realize that some communities make use of phones and all of them make use of modern hospitals and interact with modern society at many touch points, however, they're not walking around casually with smart phones in their pockets (from your article):

"The fact that the Amish choose to regulate how the phone is used shows continuing concern over potential ill effects, were it to be fully accepted."

Amish don't even run electricity into their houses, so I imagine it would be a tough thing to use in practice, except in limited scenarios. It'd be cute if a people decided to reject automobiles, mechanization, most forms of electricity, etc, and also plugged in smart phones and browsed TikTok all day.
Let's be clear here, the UK isn't a monarchy, we just have a monarch who has effectively zero power and simply serves as a hereditary head of state.

As for why I support this, I think it makes sense diplomatically to have an apolitical head of state and I also believe the British monarch functions similarly to second amendment in the US. If the UK ever needed to revolt against the government the monarch serves as way in which the public (and armed forces) could side with the state over the government. I cannot express how much I like that our armed forces swear allegiance to a largely powerless Monarch that represents the state rather than Rishi Sunak.

However, getting back on topic here, the fact the UK has a monarch in my opinion has zero relevance to the fact the UK is becoming a place increasingly hostile to protest. Instead, it seems to me to be far more to do with the fact our two major political parties both have authoritarian tendencies, which I suspect stems from the UK having cultural values which lend themselves to certain kinds of authoritarian social policies.

Specifically, laws around limiting "improper" behaviour like rowdy protests, being rude online, and consuming porn that's a little too edgy seem to be ways in which our dislike of improper behaviour manifest politically. In most ways we're quite a liberal society, but there are certain ways that our conformist and overly polite nature seems to work its way into our politics via democracy – protest perhaps being the most clear example of something that people here seem to struggle with since freedom of expression requires an acceptance of impoliteness.
>curation algorithms

"Curation" is happening on streaming sites only in the same sense that Amazon suggests you re-buy the same toothpaste you've purchased before. The term implies two ingredients: not just a notion of what might appeal to others, but also the considerable personal experience of the curator. Knowledgable human beings have the remarkable ability to make non-linear associations.

Early streaming experiences were more satisfying because Netflix simply didn't have much to go on. It made discovery quite a bit more interesting, and gave users more of an overall sense of what could be watched instead of the carefully concentrated homepages of today that box users into their past activities.

Is a red herring and justification for helicopter parents to normalize their micromanaging.

Someone shouldn't be texting or calling on their cell in an active shooter situation anyway. One phone per teacher/room, with the ability for anyone to dial emergency services, is better.

Neat

Strikes me though that all these "managed-memory language VM inside a a WASM VM" projects for WASM keep having to build out garbage collection support (or run an existing GC inside WASM) for their runtimes. It's a bit of a stacking turtles problem, and seems wildly inefficient. I keep wondering how far off GC support for WASM runtimes is.

In the meantime, while this is neat, I feel like it's a mis-use of what WASM is most suited for: cross-compiling C/C++ etc binaries to a "web" target. WASM as a container for multiple language runtimes seems wildly inefficient.
>My kids, now in the early to mid-teens, have grown up with Apple as the dominant phone, tablet and watch platform. All their friends have them. Here in the US (NY metro), Android seems a second rung system.

Apple exploits in-group bias among teens. This is less of a 'we moved to a closed ecosystem' and more of a 'my kids do whats kool among teenagers'. At the end of the day, the hardware and software are near clones of Androids. This is a move away from computers sure, but it doesnt have to do with closed stores. It has to do with insecure teenagers trying to be popular.

> Even on the cheap Windows laptops we have for them at home they’re not really “Microsoft” machines. No Office, no heavy O365 anything. They’re terminals for Chrome and web-apps.

But that is often how it starts. One day you need to run something locally, and you learn how the OS works. You learn about folder/file structures. You edit settings, you might even need to upgrade hardware.

At worst I can see the future be phones/tablets/laptops logging into an external server to do 'computing'. You still will be accessing programs and data on the computers with lots of control. Isnt that the point?
Yep. It's dystopian as hell to me.

And so many stakeholders are aligned towards it. Dumb terminals that sign in to a persistent account are easy and cheap for users. Companies are in control, enjoying DRM and analytics like never before. Governments can surveil their citizens more deeply than ever by subpoena of the cloud company.

But there's some hopium that, with things like homomorphic encryption, you could have the best of both worlds: cloud connectivity and privacy.
In an "Enterprise" setting, the dev or ops team that needs certificates for internal services often has no direct access to the company's external web site or DNS, which may be owned by some other team like marketing or IT. So the options can boil down to jumping through bureaucratic hoops (if they even exist) for every request, or kludge together some other half-baked system that sorta gets the job done. Ask me how I know.

The cause is 100% economic. Software is incredibly expensive to produce and yet people have become accustomed to it being free, either as free (as in beer) open source or free SaaS supported by ads. This leads to "creative" ways of monetizing software by exploiting the user and to an endless drive to lock people into platforms where this can be accomplished.

In computing the effect is to create a two-tier caste system where tech-savvy people have freedom and privacy and regular folk do not.

This is because while all software is expensive (in time or money) it becomes exponentially expensive as one tries to make it more and more usable by regular people. In other words polishing software is often many times more costly than creating the core systems that underlie it.

This is different from many other products. Imagine what cars might be like if the dashboard controls and interior finishings cost as much as 100X more than the engine and drive train. That's software. For most products the working parts are the most expensive part. For software the polish is the most expensive part.
The website (at Download Nyxt 3.0.0) mentions:

> macOS is not officially supported by Nyxt. An official port is currently in development. Unofficial, and older ports are available below: Docker, Macports.

While Docker would work on a Mac with ARM, Docker on macOS is still slow AFAIK and a full-blown Linux VM. It also requires X11, the documentation mentions XQuartz. Hence, I'll skip this software, for now.
> Pretty sure it’s one of several steps you click through when you sign up for a Google account. And so most people will probably accept it.

So google ASKS you to turn on location data during setup. It’s the consumer’s decision to turn it on and reap the _$benefits_ or keep it off and lose out on _$benefits_. Should there be a secondary and tertiary prompt warning of the exact data collected? Will users just mindlessly click through those too?

I would have expected it to be like taking a Game Boy or a laptop into a lesson, instant confiscation until the end of the day.
Absolutism is such a luxury. I miss those days.

Most of us have to accept tradeoffs of convenience vs security, privacy vs durability of data, cost vs benefit.

And we have to rely on the sometimes erroneous, sometimes fraudulent claims of various companies and people when making tradeoff decisions, knowing they are generally more or less accurate but occasionally totally wrong.
I'm positively surprised by the pricing. While I still prefer outright buying apps instead of subscriptions, last time I paid €230 for Logic on desktop (and it used to cost even more), this new sub would take four years to match that. This massively lowers the cost of entry especially for countries with devalued currency against the USD.

Show HN: Dashboard to Get Complete Breakdown of OpenAI Costs
Hello Folks,
I am an indie developer, For the last 5 months I was freelancing by building GPT-powered chatbots.

One of the challenges I faced was not having visibility into my OpenAI costs.

This is why I have built a dashboard to get a complete breakdown of my OpenAI API usage through network calls from OpenAI.

Please give it a try & help with feedback on how I can further improve the product,which can really add value and save some money.

Note:
1)I found this API through the network logs of the billing screen.
2)The tool stores the OpenAI Key locally on the browser.
