amolgupta··on Extracting AI models from mobile apps
For app developers considering tflite, a safer way would be to host the models on firebase and delete them when their job is done. It comes with other features like versioning for model updates, A/B tests, lower apk size etc. https://firebase.google.com/docs/ml/manage-hosted-models
amolgupta··on Native JSON Output from GPT-4
I pass a kotlin data class and ask chatGPT to return json which can be parsed by that class. Reduces errors with date-time parsing and other formatting issues and takes up lesser tokens than the approach in the article.
amolgupta··on Ask HN: How are you using GPT to be productive?
I have a habit of making short bullet points notes for everything work and personal, but for my eyes only. With GPT, I can convert them into things like:

- PR descriptions. ex, paste bullet points about the change and it converts it into something to help the reviewer.

- Plant UML diagrams of ideas. At times they are just a starting point template and I build upon them. I can paste these into technical docs or PRs or presentations later.

- Peer feedback: The raw bullet points can be converted into nice-to-read feedback which is not too direct or offensive or vague. Can iterate over it to tone it down or make a point stronger.

Other programming-related use cases - Test cases for code

- Converting android xml layouts to compose worked well

- A lot of Django code

- Identify performance issues or bugs in code (these tasks make me realize the amount of repetition there is in programming)

Others:

- Book recommendations on topics

- Rewording emails/slack messages

amolgupta··on Ask HN: How are you using GPT to be productive?
I have used it to build travel itineraries and was tempted to write a travel app around that. Until I realized that some of the hotels and places it recommends do not actually exist or have existed in the past. It overconfidently also publishes broken booking links to these fake hotels. I am hoping that with chatGPT plugins, it would get better.

amolgupta··on App Analysis: Air Canada
I was once forced to integrate once such product in our app. We did mask what we thought was the sensitive information. Within days of release, the app was removed from the play-store for privacy violation. Had to remove the SDK to get back in business. So Google does use tools to detect such stuff and this was early 2017.

The ban has limitations on the thickness of the plastic bags used. Garbage bags etc are still allowed.Over the last few months the plastic cups/plates etc have almost disappeared from the city. Himachal has such a ban for over 10 years now and has had really positive effects.
amolgupta··on Spaces, a tool for small group sharing
