cat-turner··on Show HN: Tallyit.co – Upload. Describe. Bill
Backstory lore: After running a logistics business for a few years, I decided to pivot into fintech with a focus on billing. I built Tallyit as a simple way for business owners to add up expenses they've incurred on client projects. As a former business owner who managed a warehouse full of physical supplies, I know how easy it is to fall behind on invoicing. I created Tallyit to help people like me.

Best of all, no account is required to try it out! You don’t even have to be a business owner—you can use it for any kind of expense splitting, like gas on a trip or utilities with your roommates.

Tallyit does not save your uploads. It’s memoryless AI. All we do is itemize the expenses you want to break down. The only thing we save is the expense description.

Give it a go—Tally it all up!

cat-turner··on Show HN: Gato Prompt Lang – keep prompt content and responses short in JSON
Will try the JSON schema for a bit: https://github.com/ListfulAl/gpl/issues/1
cat-turner··on Show HN: Gato Prompt Lang – keep prompt content and responses short in JSON
Thank you for the suggestion! JSON Schema and a token corraler are definitely powerful tools for enforcing structure and validation. However, the goal of GPL is to provide a lightweight, easy-to-use way for users to structure their prompts without requiring them to install additional software or external dependencies.

While JSON Schema offers great flexibility, I'm focused on a format that works out of the box. I want to keep the process simple and frictionless, so introducing a token corraler with additional steps wouldn’t align with that goal.

That said, I’m open to incorporating JSON Schema as an optional feature for advanced users who want more control over their prompts. My goal is to keep installation as simple as copying and pasting the text at the beginning of the system prompt.

Hi, thanks for that name feedback.

You can def tell AI what to do but the point is to have them do and reply to you in a way that's structured and expected, such that you can have your software process their responses and apply it according to your logic! With the least amount of words possible! The Human Response field is for people-facing responses (where you generally need more words) and the system response field is for responses to be used directly by your software.

cat-turner··on Ask HN: For those who can choose to go to the office, and go, why do you go?
I think it's very productive with devs who need to ship product faster. People need to be building along side each other. Works best for small teams. for large teams not so much. cuts down the speed for decision-making

We use a combination of metric and events. Some trigger sns... Which trigger lambdas that forward urgent messages to slack.
cat-turner··on Ask HN: What's the largest amount of bad code you have ever seen work?
In my past life I was an oceanographer at a consulting company. Essentially we wrote Matlab code that processed data we get from ocean and meteorological models. Many of these models, used by NOAA, are all written in Fortran. While most were well documented, one thing you could not get around is the use of parameters for these models ( think of global variables used everywhere) and a never ending game of go-to statements. I had to figure out how this one flood model worked... literally had to read 5,000 lines of Fortran. This is what we use to determine potential flood impact from hurricanes, today. Software written for oceanography is a whole other beast.
cat-turner··on Request: Advice on Effective Data Poisoning
As long as the adnetworks start ignoring user, isn't that the point?
cat-turner··on Request: Advice on Effective Data Poisoning
I've thought about this as well. One idea I've has is releasing a data bamb, in a sense that a huge amount of information is injected along with your interaction. An example of this would be you open your browser and put in a search term for cat food, and a server you are running picks up your activity (opening a browser), then plugs in 100s of search terms for random, unrelated things while logged into your account. Or at minimum send get requests from your in address for you.This essentially adds noise, which one can be done in different ways.

cat-turner··on Google Pixelbook with Linux
I am not google staff member but I am a dev who uses a chromebook pixel at home. This Nov will be 2 years since I first received my chromebook pixel. Here is my set up: 1) I unlocked machine, put it in into dev mode 2) crouton set up to use xfce 3) ssh to remote servers to use things like docker

Here's the repo for crouton. I don't know if they have hardware support for pixelbook yet. https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton

I had some hardware/software issues from time to time but they were resolved with OS updates or a powerwash. My set up was ok but not ideal - it would fluctuate between bliss and frustration. Opening your laptop to find half of your led screen dark is not fun. Sometimes the laptop would simply poweroff - though this may have been an issue with regards to overheating. This is the price to pay to go into dev mode.

Other than the points above I think using a chromebook pixel for development has been a ok experience. For simple tasks my experience is very good. My battery life is still very good after 2 years. The screen is perfect. Switching between xfce and my other tabs is a breeze, I would have my xfce instance open in one tab, and have a few chroot instances open in another tab (think of the feel like python's venv).

If google staff is here, please answer my only question: is there any plans to make this set up more friendly for dev set ups?
