Show HN: Hooksy – The Toaster Oven of Webhooks (Simple, but gets the job done)
You know how everyone says "build what you know"? Well, I’ve been down the webhook rabbit hole before. I built Webhooks for Sheets, a Google Workspace add-on that generates free webhooks… but only for Google Sheets. This little side project got over >150k installs (no joke!), but here’s the thing: that’s a vanity number. If one person installs it as an admin in a big org, boom — the number goes up. But the real insight? It came from the emails I received.

I got tons of messages from users asking about missing features, bugs, and the challenges of the Apps Script ecosystem. For example, there’s the whole issue with not being able to set specific response codes. These were my real insights into the user base — and it made me realize that people are really just looking for a simple solution to log webhook data in the tools they already use.

People love simple solutions. They want to log webhook data to their tool of choice without paying $$$ to tools like Zapier or Make.com. So, I thought, why not build something that does just that?

And that's how Hooksy was born!

Readers should, charitably, interpret this as "the sequence of events which need to happen in order for OpenAI to justify the inflow of capital necessary to survive".

Your daily vibe coding challenge: Get GPT-4o to output functional code which uses Google Vertex AI to generate a text embedding. If they can solve that one by July, then maybe we're on track for "curing all disease and aging, brain uploading, and colonizing the solar system" by 2030.

I actually don't think it would be obvious. By not explicitly saying Indiana Jones when so obviously describing Indiana Jones, there is an implication present. But I think many human artists would probably ask you, "Wait, so Indiana Jones, or are you looking for something different," before immediately diving in.
This is a difference in the subject of coherence.

Logical coherence refers to the variation and predictive power of the reasoning.

Coherence can also be used to describe the variability and predictability of positions or states themselves.

If you measure the characteristics of some photons in a coherent laser, you know what the other photons are doing. They are predictable using a model.

Logic is a poor predictive model for politics. Tribe identification is a strong predictive model for politics
I thought this was somehow BitTorrent related. I read this article and am not really sure if this is something to be excited about? Can I run Deepseek R1 with whatever this is?
>> Our rulers seem to think that the U.S. imports more than it exports, so the net effect will be positive.

If I pay you to tell me the plot of Indiana Jones, privately, because I don’t have time to watch it, and you agree, did you violate copyright laws?

If you do it for free, is it different?

If I ask a friend to draw me as Indiana Jones? Or pay an artist? In either case I just want that picture to put in my rec room, not to sell.
Devin 2.0: IDE UX at $20/month
You're either not really thinking through what you're saying, or you're being disingenuous because you want to promote AI.

A formalism isn't "person says Y". It's about adhering to a structure, to a form of reasoning. Mathematical formalism is about adhering to the structure of mathematics, and making whatever argument you desire to make in the formal structure of formulas and equations.

Saying "A palindrome is a word that reads the same backwards as it does forwards" is not a formal definition. Saying "Let r(x) be the function that when given a string x returns the reversed string, x is then a palindrome iff x = r(x)" (sans the formal definitions of the function r).

Formalism is about reducing the set of axioms (the base assumptions of your formal system) to the minimal set that is required to build all other (provable) arguments. It's not vague hand waving about what some market wants, it's naturally extrapolating from a small set of axioms, and being rigorous if ever to add new ones.

If your hypothetical "business person" every says "it was decided" then they are not speaking a formal language, because formalism does not have deciders.
As an example, yes.
Ask HN: Workflow Orchestration tools?
Are there any (simple) tools out there where the API contract is like:

- POST a statechart to something to kick it off/validate transitions/log events, schedule waits/etc

- receive POSTs (webhook-like) back to a handler endpoint to actually execute side effects

The SCXML spec defines stuff that supports this really well (ie the send/invoke tags)

Closest things I’ve been able to find:

Stately/XState

Temporal

AWS Step Functions

Step functions probably the closest to what I'm looking for but is the task token thing the only way to “receive” events?
> If we produced housing like we did cars, all the "low-skill" people would be able to move to the city and find a job in the many other services that require human labor.

Why would they want to do that? Their priorities are myriad, but raising a family, having a degree of autonomy and space to themselves, and remaining a part of their community are all generally on the list.

What’s generally not on the list is living in a tiny rabbit hutch, owning nothing, working a dead-end service job, trying to raise a family in a city (or just not trying at all), and paying a higher price for the privilege.

Why the light grey text on a white background? Seriously. It's every other website these days. I of course know how to fix this in Developer Tools but I resent that I have to.
Looks interesting, but after two (<30s) attempts I gave up trying to figure out what it even is . There’s no about page, there’s some stats that I don’t know the significance of, there’s a blog that talks about improvements… But there’s just no straightforward description of what the heck I’m even looking at besides some fun monkey animations.
> Devils advocate point, and one nobody wants to talk about: what if everyone can't be a high-skill employee?

You still need education to become a nurse, caregiver, welder or kindergarten teacher. And the right subsidies (free education) allows people to make the switch.
Or that it is, like most people working in projects like those believe without first proving.
I don't think your detraction has much merit.

If I don't understand how a combustion engine works, I don't need that engineering knowledge to tell you that a bicycle [an LLM] isn't a car [a human brain] just because it fits the classification of a transportation vehicle [conversational interface].

This topic is incredibly fractured because there is too much monetary interest in redefining what "intelligence" means, so I don't think a technical comparison is even useful unless the conversation begins with an explicit definition of intelligence in relation to the claims.
> It's sort of like not taking philosophers seriously unless they've considered the question of solipsism first.

Solipsism only makes sense if you completely reject the concept of objective reality. It's mostly sophistry. The lack of being able to prove that reality exists beyond your own perceptions is not sufficient to prove that it does not, nor to make that assertion. See also "Simulation Theory".
The two you cite, OpenFoodFacts and OpenStreetMap are non-profit/not-for-profit, known for their databases, not for competing commercial apps.

I appreciate the difficulty of building a good database. Can you say why you created a new one, rather than starting with OpenFoodFacts? (Was it quality issues? Too hard to update? You wanted additional info? You didn't want their licensing terms? You wanted the advertising boost?)

It's a neat goal to keep an organ playing for hundreds of years. I just don't think that's related to the musical composition itself, which is not impressive to me. The fact that Cage added the phrase "as slow as possible" is not, in my opinion, musically interesting.

It would be analogous to writing a screenplay, adding the note "produce the film using as much money as possible," and then having someone attempt to do that. It's technically impressive to spend $500 million on a film production, sure, but that small note at the end of the screenplay is not cinematically interesting.
the guardrails are probably going to end up being way too close together when the dust settles — imagine if something as simple as "young wizard" would be enough to trip the warnings. someone could be looking to do an image from Feist's early novels, or of their own work, & that will be verboten. it may turn out that we're facing the strongest copyright holders being able to limit everyone's legitimate use of these tools.

> it all rests on (relatively) simple mathematics. We know this is true. We also know that means it has limitations and can't actually reason information.

This was the statement I was responding to, it is stating that because it's built on simple mathematics it _cannot_ reason.

Yes we don't have a complete mathematical model of human intelligence, but the idea that because it's built on mathematics that we have modelled, that it cannot reason is nonsensical, unless you subscribe to a non-materialist view.

In a way, he is saying (not really but close) that if we did model human intelligence with complete fidelity, it would no longer be intelligence.

Just grabbing definitions from Google:

Rationalize: "An attempt to explain or justify (one's own or another's behavior or attitude) with logical, plausible reasons, even if these are not true or appropriate"

Rational: "based on or in accordance with reason or logic"

They sure seem like related concepts to me. Maybe you have a different understanding of what "rationalizing" is, and I'd be interested in hearing it

But if all you're going to do is drive by comment saying "You're wrong" without elaborating at all, maybe just keep it to yourself next time
Difficult to move the production of olive oil.

I don't know how much you know about olive oil, but it comes from olives, which grow on olive trees. Olive trees are famously long-lived and, together with the very specific types of land that they grow on, they represent extremely persistent and valuable investments for the people who produce olive oil.
Why are you making such sweeping assumptions about us? I studied architecture and art history for over a year, I'm the son of a painter, I have an uncle who's a Grammy-winning musician and an aunt who's a musical scholar who literally has a doctorate degree on John f* Cage of all people... which is to say I grew up surrounded by art. I've visited every museum you can name this side of the Berlin Wall's remains, many more than once.

I have a degree in humanities, another in business and another in computer science.... and while I still don't mind Cage that much, I do think most of contemporary art is absolute shit.

I don't have to agree with you for my opinion to have value. You need to learn to name call people less and make your points on the merits of arguments. It's tiring for everyone else to engage otherwise.
> it takes a major chunk of their margins

Completely false. Cost of VAT is passed on to consumers not met by companies and as EU companies pay VAT too it doesn't force US companies to lower prices and so harm their margins.
Steam also did the legwork to adapt to other countries' cultures, means and payment systems.

They do regional pricing, including systems which make it difficult to pretend you live in a poor country, which you absolutely need if you want publishers to adopt that. They do local payment methods. They let kids (and kids and teenagers are an important part of this market) buy gift cards in physical stores, and pay for them with cash.

Mobile App Stores are a lot worse at all of these, especially Apple's.
Hmm, maybe I misunderstood that part, but so far I thought the KV cache was really just that - a cache. Because all the previous tokens of the sequence stay the same, it makes no sense to compute the same K and V vectors again in each round.

But that doesn't change that the only input to the Q, K and V calculations are the tokens (or in later layers information that was derived from the tokens) and each vector in the cache maps directly to an input token.

So I think you could disable the cache and recompute everything in each round and you'd still get the same result, just a lot slower.
> “The code was wrong, so it was OK that I made it slower" is a message board argument, not a business argument.

And yet, here I am, in a business, watching that argument play out in realtime.

> The performance of code that runs on consumer devices has less of a measurable economic impact than that of code that runs on the server.

The performance of the device literally in the entire world’s hands every day is arguably quite a bit more impactful that Facebook having to buy more servers.
> "Conditional banning isn't banning" which isn't a coherent argument.

It absolutely is a coherent argument and you know that.

"Unconditional availability" inherently excludes "banning" and also "conditional banning" but the latter is a mere subset of "banning". Denying the distinction of the sub- and its superset is extremely intellectually dishonest when that's what the entire argument hinges on.

When I dump hundreds of tons of a book into a river a day and the government requires me to stop doing that, it's not banning the book from the people living downstreams, even despite the availability of the book being reduced for them.
It is raw sql. The update here is more of a "workflow" change.

In the past we only offered tools to create a sql migration to make a change to your database. Now you can write the state of your database into files, then the migration is generated for you.

This is very similar to something like Rails/Phoenix/whatever, where you write your models and then it generates a change. The difference is that here you write your models in raw SQL, rather than an ORM
Now, at least in a well disciplined human, we can catch when our gut feeling was wrong when the 'create a reasonable argument' process fails. I guess I wonder how well a LLM can catch that and correct it's thinking.

Now I've seen in some models where it figures out it's wrong, but then gets stuck in a loop. I've not really used the larger reasoning models much to see their behaviors.

This “free money” also inflates housing prices. It’s one application of “trickle down economics” that works; except it’s housing prices.

A lot of people are fair-weather friends of freedom of speech. It's all well and good if everybody is allowed to express themselves as long as everybody, if they don't like me, at least respects me.

I guess some people were never in favor of freedom of speech, they just wanted a world where they faced minimal interpersonal conflict, and the current order for a while was serving that purpose.

The surprising 2 aspect to me are: first, how the healthcare community mute down the causes of diseases such as hypertension. A former colleague told me how his doctor whispered to him that his stay in that big city is not long enough to have cause
hypertension, which can be caused or exacerbated by air pollution. Studies have demonstrated a link between exposure to air pollutants and elevated blood pressure, which is a key risk factor for hypertension. Long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was associated with increased blood pressure and a higher prevalence of hypertension. For every 1 μg/m³ increase in these pollutants, the odds of hypertension rose significantly, with NO2 showing the strongest association.

Second,the big role of tires in air pollution. Tyres shed particles as they wear down during braking, acceleration, and cornering, contributing approximately 6.1 million metric tons of tire dust annually to the atmosphere and waterways
Depends a lot on when and how the keys were lost. If the creator(s) were sitting on it thinking they had this cache there's not much reason to mine so if they lost it later, say after home mining with single GPUs became woefully inefficient and ASIC farms ruled the roost it could have been out of economic reach to actually mine. Or they didn't realize for a while that they had lost the original keys, eg they forgot their passphrase or went to access the drive with the key on it and it has died or disappeared (lost in a move or something). There's also the off chance that they were simply pretty old and died before it really went crazy and their survivors just don't know that gramp's old flash drive actually had a fortune in coins on it.

Right, I’m just saying that raising interest rates in response to that doesn’t make any sense. It would be functionally equivalent to raising interest rates as a response to an increase in the income tax rate in order to restore the buying power of your pre-tax-increase income.
Sorry for the late reply. I just wanted to say that I don't think AI has anything to do with this. I've been seeing this sort of complaining, goal post shifting and confusing means with ends for probably decades now. I mean, AI was around then too, but not like it is today, which is what I assume you meant. Even when I release ripgrep ~9 years ago, AI wasn't what it was today, and I saw the same sort of complaints.

I don't usually like doing this, but if I had to step out of my wheelhouse and guesstimate, I think it's probably just some form of nostalgia reasoning. People remember the "simpler" times and just want to have it again. But of course, the "simpler" times are less a reflection of reality and more a reflection of your perception of the world. IMO anyway. (I have the same sort of inclination, but I try to recognize it for what it is: personal bias. Others seem unable to do this and mistake this personal bias for objective reality.)

> Is there something similar like this on Android?

It works out of the box on Android (without adding to the homescreen or installing as PWA). For iOS, you need to tap the "share" button in safari, scroll down, and "Add to homescreen".

If you want to test this out (on either platform), you can try my PWA where I implemented this (https://lockmeout.online). In the users settings, you can even add several devices (browser, phones etc.) and send a test notifications to either a single or all devices. Installation instructions for iOS and Android are there (since it is a PWA, you just need to press the right buttons in the browser, there is not actual installation). PWAs can also be installed on Desktop (Chrome and Safari).

Btw. the PushNotification API is not device/vendor specific. I use the same code to send out notifications for mobile (iOS, Chrome Android) and Desktop (safari, firefox, chrome etc.). I also do not use any third party for sending, but do it from my server. And hell yeah, not having to create these clumsy serviceworkers will simplify my code a lot.

Kwomps can zark but they can't plimf. Ghirns are a lot like Kwomps, but better zarkers. Plyzers have the skills the Ghirns lack.

I have an erork that needs to be plimfed. Choose one group and one method to do it.

If that doesn't count as reasoning or generalization, I don't know what does.

I'd say it's about connecting with the consumer. The connection doesn't need to extend to the author, but it should probably extend to the art itself.
