abi··on Software Infrastructure 2.0: A Wishlist (2021)
Been looking at a few solutions similar to yours! I'm currently on Render and looking to move elsewhere so I can have more control and particularly insight into system metrics. Do you support zero downtime deploys? It wasn't clear to me from your home page.
abi··on My sixth year as a bootstrapped founder
I was curious about this as well! Thanks for sharing your research.
abi··on Hi everyone yes, I left OpenAI yesterday
He's also into open source models /r/localllama
abi··on First Impressions with Google Gemini
These results say that Gemini performs better than GPT4-V, which is clearly not true from experience. Clearly, we need better evals.
abi··on The AI industry turns against its favorite philosophy
I think more a accurate title would be "AI industry's favorite philosophy turns against the industry". My understanding is the anti-AI bent is much more recent within EA.
abi··on Before Altman’s ouster, OpenAI’s board was divided and feuding
I mean it's not cool for board members to publicly criticize the company.
abi··on OpenAI investors keep pushing for Sam Altman’s return
What are you talking about? The OpenAI board isn't made up of investors.
abi··on Sam Altman is still trying to return as OpenAI CEO
Make sure to not elect him then.
abi··on OpenAI's employees were given two explanations for why Sam Altman was fired
If you're in the EA cult and think all frontier AI development needs to be paused, it's perfectly reasonable. Just speculating here though.
abi··on Sam Altman is still trying to return as OpenAI CEO
It was a comment on the overall situation, and addressing the point that it's "greed all the way down". If OpenAI was a traditional C Corp, a highly successful CEO would not have been fired. It's precisely because OpenAI is governed by a non-profit board that they care about things other than profits.

Probably a hot take: we should let democratically elected leaders be the guardians of superintelligence. You don't need to be technical at all to grapple with the implications of AI on humanity. It's a humanity question, not a tech question.
abi··on Sam Altman is still trying to return as OpenAI CEO
I think if this was all rational self-interest, a lot of this would never have happened. It's precisely because OpenAI isn't governed by a board appointed by investors that we have such consequences.
abi··on OpenAI board in discussions with Sam Altman to return as CEO
How are they leveraging them? My understanding is Microsoft has no power over the board.
abi··on OpenAI board in discussions with Sam Altman to return as CEO
Because it will take 6 precious months at the least to get back to where OpenAI is today in terms of compute and people.
abi··on Microsoft was blindsided by OpenAI's ouster of CEO Sam Altman
Per my understanding, the board oversees the non-profit which owns the for-profit entity which Microsoft invested in. It's not clear to me how the non-profit board was picked but equity holders in the for-profit don't have a say on the matter.
abi··on OpenAI's board has fired Sam Altman
I mean GPT-4 is just so good. Have you compared GPT-4 vs. other models for coding? I'd pay more for GPT-4.
abi··on Show HN: Convert any screenshot into clean HTML code using GPT Vision (OSS tool)
It's occasionally good at responsive layouts right now. If you upload a mobile screenshot, the mobile version should be good. But to make it fully responsive, additional work is needed.
abi··on Show HN: Convert any screenshot into clean HTML code using GPT Vision (OSS tool)
Totally should
abi··on Show HN: Convert any screenshot into clean HTML code using GPT Vision (OSS tool)
Good idea! Will try to incorporate that. The hardest thing about modifying the prompts is not having a good evaluation method for if it's making things better or worse.
abi··on Show HN: Convert any screenshot into clean HTML code using GPT Vision (OSS tool)
Yeah, I'm going to experiment with this a bit today.

I think what might work well is a 2 step process: give GPT Vision (1) reference image & (2) screenshot of current code, ask it to find the significant differences. Then, pass that output into a new coding prompt.

Let me know if you come up with a good prompt or feel free to add a PR.

I am the maker of Pico :) What I meant was these features were going to be integrated into Pico.

Also, Pico is a general web app building platform. The 30% revenue part is only for affiliates, not for any in-app payments (which Pico doesn't yet support).

abi··on Show HN: Convert any screenshot into clean HTML code using GPT Vision (OSS tool)
I experimented a bit with that. It didn't work too well with some basic prompts (describes differences that are insignificant or not visual) but I think I just need to iterate on the prompts.
abi··on Show HN: Convert any screenshot into clean HTML code using GPT Vision (OSS tool)
Yeah you should be able to modify the prompts to achieve that easily: https://github.com/abi/screenshot-to-code/blob/main/backend/...

I'll try to add a settings panel in the UI as well.

abi··on Show HN: Convert any screenshot into clean HTML code using GPT Vision (OSS tool)
Yeah, since recording the demo, I added the ability to edit a generation so if you say "you missed the left hand navigation", that should fix it.

Only issue is it'll often to skip other sections now to be more terse. But if you're a coder, you can just merge the code by hand and you should get the whole thing.

abi··on Show HN: Convert any screenshot into clean HTML code using GPT Vision (OSS tool)
It only does it once. Re-running it does not usually make it better. But I have some ideas on how to improve that.
abi··on Show HN: Convert any screenshot into clean HTML code using GPT Vision (OSS tool)
I'll add more examples in the repo. Here's a quick example: https://codepen.io/Abi-Raja/pen/poGdaZp (replica of https://canvasapp.com)

Thanks! It's more fun than waiting a minute for the AI to finish without any feedback.

I found that it's hard to get it to even use 2k of the 4k completion length. Most of the time, it's happy to stop after 1k and just insert comments like "<-- rest of the section -->"

Here's one I got it to output almost 4k tokens.

The defensive prompting does seem to help!

abi··on V0: Generative UI
You can already do this quite well. Check out my product: https://picoapps.xyz/ We allow you to interact with backend APIs including some builtin integrations like OpenAI and image generation. We do some basic custom backend generation as well.
