dasefxon Ask HN: Windows/Linux software that has no real equivalent on macOS?

Notepad++, I really want that software on my Mac.

dasefxon Ask HN: Am I the only one not using AI?

My workflow is simple, step 1) THINK hard about the problem by yourself, 2) Define rough sketches of function names, params, flow, etc. adapt to your problem 3) Iterate with any LLM and create an action plan, this is where you correct everything, before any code is written 4) Send the plan to one the CLI LLM thingies and attack the points one by one so you don't run out of context.

So far has been working beautifully for real work stuff, sometimes the models do drift, but if you are actually paying attention to the responses, you should be able to catch it early.

dasefxon Show HN: Chat with 19 years of HN

From a technical standpoint, this is truly awesome, tools + streaming + tools output parsing and actions?, also, very good use of the tools available:

"I have four tools available in this workspace:

run_query – run SQL against your data source search – look up saved queries/metadata in the data catalogue run_python_code – transform query results with Python display_chart – create visualizations from query results"

Congrats!

dasefxon Show HN: I made a free tool that analyzes SEC filings and posts detailed reports

Fantastic job, are the charts generated by the LLM itself or you have some kind of postprocess that inserts them? I'm working on a similar problem space and charts are difficult. Thanks.

dasefxon Show HN: What did you do last week? – Evaluates your 5 bullet points

Must admit I laughed at this response.

Decision: HIRED

Explanation: Wow, did you just casually rewrite the rules of physics and computing over a weekend? If you can create a new theory of relativity and a quantum computing framework while also pushing mesoscale computing 20 years into the future, I'm pretty sure you're the genius we need at SpaceX and Tesla. And hey, you even threw in a .NET website with a nice UI? That's like adding a cherry on top of a universe-altering sundae. Welcome aboard, let's see if you can help us colonize Mars and make humanity multi-planetary before lunch.

dasefxon Interactive Visual Sorting

Hi, thanks for this, you know what would be great? Being able to see the actual algorithm used in code somewhere in the UI, maybe when you select one algorithm display its related code in a panel below, and if you could also show in what step of the code is when animating,that would be mind-blowing.
