Show HN: Clevis – Build and sell AI powered apps without code
After seeing a lot of simple AI powered web apps being launched lately, the idea of building a tool to create them appeared in my mind.

Using Clevis, you can quickly create apps by connecting a series of steps. The first step to an app is usually some sort of user input like a text field or a file upload. Then, that input can be processed by AI tools like ChatGPT and the output can be displayed to the end user as plain text, HTML or a file.

Examples of other apps you could build using Clevis:

1. SEO Assistant: An app that analyses any website URL for SEO improvements

2. Cover Letter Writer: Users can input basic information, provide a link to a job advertisement, and receive a meticulously tailored cover letter as output.

3. Travel Planner: App that creates a beautifully designed travel itinerary wherever you are planning to go.

You may ask: What is the difference between using a Clevis app and just using ChatGPT? The answer is the UI. By collecting input from the user in a structured way using forms and image uploads, you can make sure that the model receives the best data to do its job. The output can also be styled with HTML instead of just plain text. For creators, it is a way to quickly create AI powered apps and start selling them instantly.

This project is very early stage and any feedback or ideas are highly appreciated!
It's okay that it didn't fit well into your workflow, but accusing those who use it of cargo culting isn't constructive. Other people don't have the same workflow as you do, and as simonw noted above, some of us actually adjusted our workflow to get the most out of Copilot.
The force of the implosion, as I understand it, would destroy the porthole in any case; it being not attached is not an indicator that it was the point of initial failure.
> Also, un-stated “there ain’t nothing you can do about sharing your private data with us”

Are predditors now coming to this site to spread their "spaceship man bad" propaganda? There are obvious switches that toggle data sharing. A quick googling would have revealed that: https://electrek.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2017/05/tesla...
This is referencing your own fleet of Tesla vehicles though, like company cars or rental fleet. Not a reference to the Tesla company's fleet.
Yeah - for an application like this I get it. But no one is getting rich or shifting the dial on scientific progress with this sort of thing.
There are xclip and xsel

The most confusing thing to deal with is the distinction between X "selection" and "clipboard".

Luckily there are many tools that synchronize clipboard and selection, if you want
Hows that?

This kind of content still exists in print, it just isn't mass marketed. Physics today for instance is excellent and written for practicing physicists at an advanced undergrad level. It's also online:

Humans aren’t robots. Just because you pay them doesn’t mean they’ll do anything you say, they have to make a choice as to whether they’re alright with doing your dirty work. It’s not like you can just rent mercenaries off of Craigslist and have them carry out your master plan. You need to get back in touch with reality my friend.
I wonder how old you are to think anything changed in 2016.

To me 2016 was just a continuation of what started before, there was no inflection then.

The 2000's are when things started to change, not 2016. And Obama's first election was when the internet started to be taken seriously by politicians (2008). It's basically what gave him the win.
> Racket is probably the finest example of a modern day lisp bar none

It's not. There are several nice and unique things about Racket, but it's a pretty poor example of a lisp, to the extent that if you want to understand what's good about lisp you'd probably be better off learning emacs lisp than racket.
"And there is good reason to focus on black folks instead of all poor people - black folks are disproportionately poor, and they are because our systems of governance tried to keep them that way."

I have family who recently immigrated from Liberia, and their general sense is that the black slave descendants had their family structures so incredibly destroyed that it makes sense to focus on those descendants instead of all Black people.

In their communities with strong family networks and more fathers in the home, they don't see nearly the same issues as the mostly fatherless slave descendent families.
I can reproduce when prompted all the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody, but my doing so isn’t automatically copyright infringement. It would depend on where, when, how, in front of what audience, and to what purpose I was reciting them as to whether it was irrelevant to copyright law, protected under some copyright use case, civilly infringing, or criminally infringing copyright abuse.

The same applies to GPT. It could reproduce Bohemian Rhapsody lyrics in the course of answering questions and there’s no automatic breach of copyright that’s taking place. It’s okay for GPT to know how a well known song goes.

If copilot ‘knows how some code goes’ and is able to complete it, how is that any different?
If they add ipv6 support I’ll forgive them, but I lost hope a long time ago. It’s almost comical now.
Those Delta 717s (which are actually just rebadged MD-95s) are the oldest fleet of airframes in use today on US domestic routes, having been acquired from the AirTran bankruptcy nearly 20 years ago. I suspect this will be the beginning of the end for them, as they are out of production for years now.

Edit: that is indeed the case https://simpleflying.com/delta-retirements-aircraft/
> there are a huge number of useful loops that do useful work and for which you can prove properties like termination

Exactly! If the loop doesn't terminate, then you obviously cannot show it. But if it does, then you should be able to (even if that requires some changes to help the tool)
It's a little more nuanced than "many people...rationalize...because it's specifically targeting Google".

It wasn't that long ago that Google was forcing AMP onto the same publishers by making it a requirement to appear in the news carousel. That forced a lot of unwanted intrusion into content that wasn't Google's to mess with. Including a forced banner in the most valuable space, hijacking right/left swipes to navigate to competitor publisher sites, etc. They have a strong demonstrated history of doing the wrong thing in this space.

Though, I agree, this law and the outcome aren't the solution.
Did the passengers know about the problem?
Well this is largely due to the steam deck rather than desktop linux. But we also see linux popping up in pro audio inside of the current line of akai mpc its a small linux system with only 2 gigs of ram but its dedicated to only doing music. Apple's main competition isn't linux or windows its these dedicated devices with linux inside.
I recall Google eventually doing a deal with the French publishers. You can find many articles like the following coming out around the same time

For example. I cannot provide any insight because I don’t with in that field, but it would not be necessarily surprising that e.g. inhaled powders could have different effects than ingested compounds diluted in something else. Quantity would matter a lot as well.
I don't think so, I believe this strictly for college admissions. However, there is no reason it couldn't be cited in future cases along those lines because they're in the same realm of judicial logic.
Now we just need to put Cloudflare in front of it to really double down on the centralize the internet thing.
Excel even had its own custom C compiler.
View-plus is basically a wave-plus with an extra sensor, usb-c power, and wifi:

It can run on batteries, but then you lose the functionality of bridging from BLE to wifi.
How are we sure that pulsars are 100% consistent? How do we know the timing discrepancies are due to gravitational waves and not just tiny wobbles in the pulsar itself?
I've been working as a programmer for almost 15 years and I work on fairly touchy (perf, reliability-wise) networked systems in a programming language with a good type system. I find Copilot to be very valuable even if I have to give it a little bump or edit what it produces sometimes.
From the outside looking in that's pretty much what I guessed: Lots of report-writing and little if any programming, but a lot of very talented and interesting people.

It seems like with the proliferation of bug-bounty platforms today, there's a fairly clear way to prove yourself and get in the door while picking up a little cash on the side. Heck, maybe just dabbling in bounty programs is enough to scratch the itch.

Sadly, the name "down" was reserved for a trivial CLI tool to ping sites to "see if they are down".

Oh how i loved winforms back in the day. IMHO the best desktop toolkit there ever was.
> “In cases when viewers feel they have been falsely flagged as using an ad blocker, they can share this feedback by clicking on the link in the prompt.”

At this point, such a statement almost feels as though it is explicitly stating that the "feedback" will be ignored. It probably won't be in aggregate but why should I expect that my individual report will be acted upon?
Haha, yeah ... this one you would have a very hard time with :)

Hopefully, though, termination of your program does not depend on this ... otherwise could be a long wait!
Legacy is always brought up in these discussions. The amount of students who get into Harvard because of the boost from their race outnumbers the number of legacy students who get boosted from their status 20 to 1. Basically a race and legacy blind policy would reject 20 times more minorities than legacy applicants and then if the policy is race and legacy discriminatory.
> charge premium for those who need your professional service to make profits

How exactly does that work? Why would the company invest a lot in the library if they can just offer professional services without it? For example, KDAB already offer professional services around Qt and do not need to spend much in R&D.
Did you miss that they're being sarcastic? ;)
I expect you'll find that discontinuing their news linking service in Canada has very little effect on Google's profitability.
There are couple of existing tools already:

Is your tool doing anything different ?
It's not a utility. Search might be, and the state is welcome to start its own search engine and run it as a utility, paying zero innovation wages as utilities do.

I can also recommend The War Game[0] from the BBC.

"the effect of the film has been judged by the BBC to be too horrifying for the medium of broadcasting. It will, however, be shown to invited audiences..."

"The film eventually premiered at the National Film Theatre in London, on 13 April 1966, where it ran until 3 May.[4] It was then shown abroad at several film festivals, including the Venice one where it won the Special Prize. It also won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 1967."

As an extra note on big/little cores - instead of having the small core break up ops, you could possibly instead have the big core handle higher LMUL natively. Requires code to use said higher LMUL (currently, clang defaults to LMUL 2, gcc to LMUL 1[0], but that's of course up for change), but would mean that you'd have higher potential throughput for big cores while leaving the register size tractible for the small cores.

Also has some fun possibilities of, say, having native LMUL=2 add/sub, but only LMUL=1 multiplications or something.

Well, there’s one thing I know didn’t cause this: an IPv6 DDOS attack. GitHub, in 2023, is somehow still immune to all IPv6 attacks
If you're using the data yourself, how is that "sharing" your data?
Ideal way to plot any biological migrations or ranges. Whales, turtles, sharks, albatrosses, seals, penguins etc.
Yeah, so these tools will not tell you how long it will take to terminate --- only that it will eventually. In the vast majority of cases, that is what you want to know.
The trained weights of a GPT model are a frozen, static, transmissible representation. They’re not equivalent to the live state of a brain.
Exactly. People shouldn't have to worry about their car being a serious privacy risk.

Video footage being shared with/accessible by Tesla should be strictly opt-in - especially for "sentry mode", which is the most likely to catch someone in their skivvies (or worse) in their garage.
Forget about Google and Meta, they'll be fine, but those poor local news sites are screwed.
I paid IRS at 10am and the money left my checking account at 11am. It absolutely can be that fast with ACH.
This has been my experience as well. I actually avoid recommending Copilot to juniors because I think using it requires a deeper understanding of what you're trying to do than is required to just write the code by hand. When you have that understanding it can be a huge time saver, but it's not something you can just pick up and magically ask to solve your problems for you.
FTA: they don't just use a single pulsar.
People use search engines professionally and not only for entertainment. There is an icebergs worth of important and valuable information online behind paywalls, not only articles or news. Information workers use a search engine to find the information they need, pay the cost if it's paywalled, and then cancel any subscription after getting what they needed.

Long gone are the days of "surfing the web", when most of us spent our time online just randomly browsing around.
We agree that there are still racial biases in the present day that disproportionately affect Black applicants. But that's not the only disadvantage, and as AA is set up, a Black kid whose parents are doctors who goes to a ritzy boarding school is considered "disadvantaged" compared to a poor Viet kid in a crappy public school who has to spend all his evenings doing deliveries for his parents' restaurant. That is, frankly, ridiculous.
there's already: new pipe, revanced, and invidious.

I could see Google trying and eventually giving up after blocking the the most obvious workarounds just like everything else they do

For me it was when they formally killed off the amateur scientist column. It had itself been in decline for a decade or more before that, but some of their old articles were really excelent. The replacement these days seems to be educational youtubers.
Because we can't raise taxes on the very people getting legacy admissions into these universities.
Groups were advantaged over groups. Your line of reasoning itself draws a boundary--in history--and thereby quite conveniently sidesteps the issue.

And yes, a pair of Ethiopian immigrants, even in 2023, face structural racism over and above their Ukrainian friends, alas, arising from America's legacy of slavery -- hence affrimative action.
AMP made the internet on my phone work. Most sites seem to dedicate 50% or more of the screen space to advertisements and load very slowly -- AMP sites were just crazy more performant -- I'm not saying AMP was the right move to make, but, it was trying to solve a real problem (similar to this bill also likely being the wrong move)
> Surely news publications benefit more from Google/Facebook providing links to their content?

Probably depends.

In some cases, Google scrapes the interesting bits and people never click through to the host site. In other cases, Google has provided a way for people to circumvent paywalls.

Some of this was a strategy by news organizations - but it seems it might not work long term. I, for one, click through to far fewer Wikipedia articles now that Google includes the synopsis embedded in search results...
The space-padding of char types also applies to zero-padding of binary types in at least some DBs, such as MS SQL Server.

This can deliver counterintuitive results. Amaze your friends!

I agree. There are tools though which are specifically for determining worst-case execution time for e.g. embedded systems which can actually give accurate timing information (upto a point).
Answering my own question (non-definitively): CLISP uses the least memory.
I run a B2B media company. There are tons of success in B2B media:

- Aging Media (sold yesterday to PE)
- Morning Brew (sold for $75M)
- Blockworks bootstrapped and just raised first round at $135M valuation with $25M revenue
- Skift is a profitable media venture
- Industry Dive (sold for $530M)
- Politico (sold for $1B)

You also have established companies like Informa.
Ticketek reveals ‘queue’ is a lottery as Australian general sales to open Friday
Yes they do if they stop to think about it. It might take a minute or so of thought, though.

Obviously that max bid can change over time, i.e. if they discover the same item cheaper elsewhere two days later, but at any given point in time people know their actual max bid.
I agree that Canada should probably have targeted their ad service rather than which link they publish.
That's not exactly what happened. Facebook stopped serving Australian news stories and the Australian news industry immediately surrendered to Meta's terms.
That doesn't answer the question of what the pricing will be. I'm assuming it's not going to be free. Will it be a standalone subscription, or another thing that gets bundled into the main tiers to justify the ever-increasing prices?
Aspartame – is it a possible cause of cancer?
I don't think I understand any of this. You have to bury a few zillion tons of water in a pitch-black salt mine a mile underneath the surface, and run detectors that see a dim flash of light when one of these hits a water molecule, right?

How is that in any way directional? Or is there a way to compile an image from this without directionality?
It did have some benefits for consumers (and some drawbacks also). That doesn't really change what they did to publishers with it though.
Online retail includes airlines websites, for example (Delta recently shared they were a Top 5 US online retailer in their investor presentations).

I am sure that for CPG, Amazon’s share is significantly higher.

The fact that they could share them amongst themselves is also not particularly surprising.

It's not that the could, it's that they did.
Often this is true, but this case was decided based on constitutional interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

Congress cannot override this with a law. It would require an amendment to the Constitution, which is more involved. Considering that not even CA could pass a law to allow affirmative action in higher education, it would be impossible for such an amendment to be passed and ratified by the states.
Because a ping does not have a consistent behaviour and sometimes will fail because of networking issues at the source. If you enable pingdom checks for many endpoints and all available regions, prepare for a some false positives every week for example.

At that point it's worse than what you already know from your browser - it may show the service is having issues when you can access it, or that the service is ok when you can't.
This is a rather disturbing move to me, as I am a YouTube addict and adblocker user. I use NextDNS, a DNS-based service that's like your own PiHole in the cloud.

It is sometimes tricky for me to disable adblocking! There are a couple of approaches. Resetting my DNS servers to defaults is disruptive and error-prone; it's a non-starter. I find it peculiar that there is no knob on NextDNS that says "disable blocking features and act like normal DNS" even though they themselves enable such a feature if you run out of free monthly queries. You can disable a bunch of features one-by-one, but of course that affects all sites, not just the one. You can whitelist any domain you want, but that involves a cycle of testing and guessing which ones are emanating from the site you want to use.

In short, there's no straightforward way of just telling NextDNS "don't block ads while I'm on YouTube.com" and it's for that reason that I sort of miss uBlock Origin. However, YouTube does use native domains for all its ad serving, and I see them all now anyway, so I don't believe that this new policy will adversely affect my usage profile.
The automotive industry is weird like that. They started doing things a way, got stuck in a groove and now if you push back against it they look at you like you killed their dog.

I should really find a different field, for my mental well being.
Geez, I don't understand most of the words in that headline...
That’s great and all, but I’d settle for my Model 3 Autopilot staying in its lane and not trying to slam me into the median.
And now CBC won't be on Google, Twitter (over gov funding label), or Facebook(?)

I won't be surprised if we (the taxpayers) end up having to support them even more. Who knows maybe they'll have to pass more tax subsidies for the other major players too.
That’s a good point! I’d be genuinely shocked if the policy didn’t account for a way to solve that.
The LA Times I feel like is 0 for 2 recently on accurately reporting on the Supreme Court:

The issue has changed in my lifetime. Originally affirmative action was used to help people who had been systematically discriminated against get into higher learning institutions in an attempt to make up for some of these wrongs.

Although a difficult process I believe most people genuinely believed in the concept.

Fast forward to today and we have a much different framework. Equity.

There is a belief that any group, race, subset of people should have the same outcomes everywhere. This premise is much more controversial and not universally supported.

Should women have the exact same percentage acceptance into computer scientist or welding programs? Or should it be a 50/50 split and anything short of that screams discrimination.

It boils down to equal opportunity vs equalized outcomes. They are not same … one has almost universal support the other seems to be taken directly out of a dystopian novel.
Obviously a bake sale and all the members of the think tank have to work gig economy jobs in-between research, writing and speeches just to keep the lights on in a dinky little conference room of the sub-sub-sub basement of the Pentagon they rent out.

Perks of the job mainly consist of being able to sporadically say “Gentlemen. You can’t fight in here. This is the War Room!” and having critics in the mainstream media that hate your guts and will—uncompensated!—drop your name on a frequent basis and imply you are much much much more important and influential than you actually are.
