anonfunction··on Show HN: Asxiv.org – Ask ArXiv papers questions through chat
Thank you! If you have any suggestions feel free to let me know.
anonfunction··on Learn Your Way: Reimagining Textbooks with Generative AI
I built it because it was tiresome to save the pdf, open a new window, add it and give a prompt.

Simply replacing the domain arxiv.org with asxiv.org does all that for me now.

Also it links to pages in it's answers and scrolls the pdf to it on click, allowing to view the pdf side by side with the chat.

anonfunction··on Learn Your Way: Reimagining Textbooks with Generative AI
Shameless plug but I made a similar tool called asXiv[1] which allows you to "ask" arXiv.org papers questions.

It also recommends questions on initial load that can help understand or explore the paper, here's a demo[2] from the popular Attention Is All You Need paper.

The code is all opensource[3], it uses the google 2.5 flash lite model to keep costs down (it's completely free atm), but that can be changed via env var if you run it locally.

anonfunction··on Show HN: Teaching my 2y old son animal sounds
Any chance you could open source it so we can add more languages and run it locally?

anonfunction··on Turkish presidential candidate quits race after release of alleged deepfake
This is not Kemal Kilicdaroglu who is the main challenger to Erdoğan, and in fact could help his chances.

anonfunction··on Netflix loses 1M users in Spain over password policing
Watching on the Apple TV+ app on an Android TV it frequently replays the same episode I already watched or starts at some random time earlier in the episode than when I left off which is a pain to fix using their scrubbing feature which is itself a bad experience.
anonfunction··on Tell HN: Be careful enabling Cloudflare features
Thank you this is actually something that appears to solve one of my main issues. I did not see this before, and it's not linked to from their dashboard UI or the ethereum gateway docs [1]. It appears that I could make the DNS record go through another cloudflare product Cloudflare Zero Trust[2] which can do the access management.

While this is good to know, I still would much like visibility into public usage and user set billing limit caps. A large portion of use cases for an ethereum gateway is going to be frontend client side calls, and yes I know I could make another proxy layer on my own servers and set limits there, which if I could do things over I would have.

anonfunction··on Tell HN: Be careful enabling Cloudflare features
Actually I had a similar experience with trying to create a business account, only the account who created it can set up billing. There is no concept of a team account or billing managers which surprised me.
anonfunction··on Tell HN: Be careful enabling Cloudflare features
I didn't set up an IPFS gateway I set up an Ethereum Gateway where the rest of your comment doesn't apply.
anonfunction··on Tell HN: Be careful enabling Cloudflare features
It's a cloudflare problem related to their lack of visibility and billing practices for paid products. I don't want to get into a crypto is bad debate as that's entirely unrelated to the point of my post.
anonfunction··on KanjiVG – SVGs of Kanji character strokes including order, shape and direction
I looked around and couldn't find any examples or demo of the SVGs on the website. This is the epitome of a project that would benefit from a visual representation.

Would be nice to have a dedicated "ports" view as this is what I most commonly use lsof for.

Any docs for connecting to goerli vs mainnet?

Seems to be using "The Price Is Right"[1] rules where going over disqualifies a win.

anonfunction··on We lost 54k GitHub stars
GitHub doesn't use foreign keys[1], and there's likely many tables related to all the users, notifications, permissions, etc... that would need to be cleaned up. Without foreign keys they likely have some system process that does this instead of a simple `DELETE FROM` which cascades.

Is there? Photoshop has a bunch of menus, not sure what they're planning to do. See this screenshot for example:

anonfunction··on Cloudflare Tunnel – Generate a live updating URL to any localhost project
Something seems broken, I installed the latest version and it fails with this error:

Very cool! I see most of your projects have source on GitHub, will you be sharing the code for this as well?

Does orbital use spatial audio or 3d audio?

Is there a word for an oxymoron but instead of contradictory words it's sentences?

anonfunction··on Muboard: Mathematics Chalkboard with LaTeX and Markdown Support
You should check out Mathpix Snip apps. The iPad app lets you write equations that will then show up in the desktop app where you can copy and paste the generated latex.

anonfunction··on 'Ice-cream toothache': Cold food and drinks pain explained
There is a sensodyne toothpaste with novamin that supposedly repairs enamel. I’ve heard it’s only available in Europe and Asia though.
anonfunction··on Updating a 50 terabyte PostgreSQL database (2018)
The argument is that the underlying meaning of whitelist being “ok” and blacklist being “not ok” implies some bias based on color. It wasn’t long ago that there were “whites only” and “no blacks allowed” signs throughout the US. For foreign speakers using a more descriptive name like allowlist and denylist is a benefit as well.
anonfunction··on Show HN: 100 LOC Ruby forward proxy using only standard libraries
Here's a Go version in 41 lines of source code I wrote in 2016:

And a forward proxy that supports middleware like adding CORS headers, logging, etc...

anonfunction··on Show HN: Turn your un-used domains into Reddit-like clones
I don't think they provide value to readers but it could provide value to the domain owner if they are looking to sell their domain. If I go to a domain and it looks like this with compared to a simple "this domain is for sale" page it could convey a higher price.

Have you considered Amazon’s SES for transactional email?
anonfunction··on Apple Silicon M1 chip in MacBook Air outperforms high-end 16-inch MacBook Pro
I agree, I would have probably bought the pro if it had a 32GB option.
