Show HN: Send APIs on Any Chrome Tab Defined by JSON
Hello Hacker News,

Building agents that can automate web tasks can be still limited — not because of models, but because of the lack of available tools and API definitions they can use. Automating actions on platforms like LinkedIn, such as finding jobs and referrers, has also been tedious.

That's why I built Tabre, an open-sourced web app (paired with a Chrome extension) that sends predefined APIs directly within any Chrome tab. Just define APIs in JSON, and run them seamlessly.

Tabre includes an early-stage chat UI, allowing you to interact with APIs through plain-language instructions. In the future, I envision a collaborative ecosystem where developers contribute more API definitions, making the web app more powerful.

Try it out — no registration needed and no data collected:

1. Install the Chrome extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tabre-tab-request/g...

2. Visit https://demo.tabre.org/ or check out the code and run locally: https://github.com/shuo-s-feng/tabre

I'd appreciate feedback from the community!

> The NLRB is governed by a five-person board and a general counsel, all of whom are appointed by the president with the consent of the Senate. Board members are appointed for five-year terms and the general counsel is appointed for a four-year term. The general counsel acts as a prosecutor and the board acts as an appellate quasi-judicial body from decisions of 36 administrative law judges, as of November 2023.[4] The NLRB is headquartered at 1015 Half St. SE, Washington, D.C., and it has over 30 regional, sub-regional, and residential offices throughout the United States.

15 different variants of the same product, all obviously cheaply made from the same factory, with varying degrees of quality control and reviews strewn about the various “brands” of the product so that it’s much harder to have a negative review everywhere.

I assume we'll see backups on both sides. Containers backed up in Chinese ports and a huge backlog of unclaimed packages and delayed tariff bills waiting for USPS/UPS/FedEx to process them.
One of those is something people are born into without choice.
The other is chosen because of their tastes.
That is not normal. Even a recent article explains:

> US customers who placed orders on shopping websites like the popular Chinese fast-fashion platform Shein have been particularly impacted, even if they made their purchases long before the tariffs were announced. They are now forced to either pay hefty fees—in some cases, more than the value of the items inside — or have their packages sent back.

> They show Love’s order was put on hold for several hours, during which she received the notice asking her to pay the import duties. DHL also noted the package would be returned in five days if she declined to do so.

https://www.wired.com/story/tariffs-china-prices-fees-shein-...

I can find a few anecdotes online about FedEx delivering first and then charging later. I can also find people saying they called FedEx and refused to pay, and FedEx waived the amount. I'm not a lawyer, but I don't see how FedEx can hold you responsible for payment when you didn't engage in business with them -- you didn't purchase anything from them and you didn't sign any contract with them. If they paid the tariff before delivering to you, then that's on them.
Yes.

Arguably, our ability to observe in any meaningful sense is still limited to light waves occuring inside a volume not much larger than the earth itself. I mean this in more than just a semantic sense surrounding the verb "observe" -- for all practical purposes everything outside of our solar system is indistinguishable from a preprogrammed light show being projected on a sphere centered on our sun with a diameter of less than a light year. There is a decent chance that will never change. The sheer size of the universe traps us in the ultimate version of Plato's cave.

SHA1 collisions are easy, but nobody has publicly revealed a second-preimage attack. With a collision you create two inputs that hash to the same output, with a second-preimage attack you are given one existing input & have to find a second input that hashes to the same output. Collisions are much easier since you can control both inputs.

I think the illegal monopoly claims are a bit out there given the range of offerings in the social network space. Are they arguing that Instagram specifically is a monopoly in photo-oriented social networking because X is mostly text and YouTube and TikTok is mostly video? I don't see any particular time you can point to where Facebook+Instagram+WhatsApp was a monoopoly in any sort of broad social networking space, especially not the WhatsApp part which competes with iMessage which is an absolute behemoth in terms of market share.

Impossible to draw any conclusions from such a convoluted and problematic model. No mention of how they determined patients were unique, or whether multiple scans were counted for a single patient. No mention of patient data - seems that covariates were estimated, leading to greater uncertainty. For example, we have no idea if any of these patients already had cancer before getting a scan. And of course, this entire model is incapable of answering the question that patients actually care about: not "will I get cancer from this?" but "will this scan more likely increase or decrease my lifespan and/or quality of life?".

Still spreading the Russian asset conspiracy theory? Why wouldn’t they want to hide their crimes from future enemies?
The NLRB is one of many independent agencies of the executive branch created by Congrees, and they don't report to anyone except for their own boards. The president and Congress have influence over the boards but no direct control over the agency. The idea that the president can just ignore these laws because of a "unitary executive" theory is authoritarian bullshit.

And the concern probably isn't Russian hackers, it's American hackers spoofing their IP address. Also you are ignoring that DOGE made the server public when it wasn't supposed to be.

It would be great if we could get to a point where we can use a language encoder and decoder, with a language agnostic knowledge model in between. But since it's generally more efficient to train the whole model end to end, such modularity would probably come at a performance price, and I don't see any private (or "non profit") companies take that approach anytime soon.
Also worth considering: there's a wider range of "acceptable" output programs when dealing with such forgiving scripting languages. If asked to output C then there are loads of finicky bits it could mess up, pointer accesses, writing past the end of an array, using uninitialized memory, using a value it already freed, missing a free, etc. All things that the language runtime handles in Python or JS. There's a higher cognitive load it needs to take on.
In most cases instead of CT scan one could do the same diagnosis with MRI scan, which is only a bit more expensive.

I’ve gotten heart scans twice to monitor coronary artery calcification and get an Agatson score. I wonder how risky this is? I feel like the last time I did it the technician said that the amount of energy they have to use now is much less due to advances in CT scanning machines.

I guess a heart scan is about like six months of natural background radiation according to this chart.

Yes. It's annoying with the subscription if you need it sporadically. Also, only after producing the video I figured that with the AI Avatar (as well with the TTS voice) I am a bit in a vendor lock situation. Switching to another service would mean losing the character and consistency.

On the other hand maybe just keeping the brand (logos) would be enough if I decide to move to move away from HeyGen for some reason.

For all the people chanting “from the river to the sea” and then crying about their free speech when their visas are revoked, where is their passion for free speech when someone draws a cartoon of Mohammad?

These are not people who care about the ideals of freedom. They only want to use our indulgence as a wedge to promulgate their own, much less free ideology.

Or to put things in maybe more HN-friendly terms - suppose you have a public facing service that you intend to be very liberal and accepting of any inputs. Does that mean you need to allow SQL injection attacks? Cross-site scripting? Spam? Not all actors are acting in good faith. Some are deliberately trying to harm you.
I ended up drastically cutting back on Amazon purchases when they started getting flooded with brands like that.

Its absolutely on Amazon to maintain quality. There are certain brands and types of products I'll order there because they're just harder to find otherwise, but its mostly a last resort these days given that Amazon doesn't care to curate what is on their "shelves".

The question of whether the president is violating congresses power by downsizing or neutering an agency they have created is something democrats should pursue.

But no - there are no people outside the org chart. That’s just dysfunctional, no man can serve two masters, etc.

If it were true than congress can create agencies for themselves with more power than is granted them in the constitution.
