hgezim··on Show HN: Context-Aware AI Assistant for macOS [Open Source]
Definitely. It's probably the top feature request actually.

We wanted to get the UX feel right and a bit of a feature freeze for v1 before a Windows release.

BTW. That's not a video on the website, it's an actual working demo :facepalm: No one seems to know.

Awesome! still got some work to do on the onboarding, but glad you got it set up

Hi all. For a long time, it felt weird that I have to take a screenshot (or copy a message), take it to ChatGPT, upload/paste and take the results back.

I built TheQuickFox to solve this. North star is: AI operating system layer.

Would love your input.

hgezim··on NameCheap revoked domain from project because they don't like their politics
Lool..it's been super interesting to see Pro-genocide trolls on X and other social reporting posts that are nothing of the kind.

$7000 for you, kind sir.

Hasbara is strong on HN. Noicce!

"Gazawood" .. so original.

All the international organizations confirming the genocide?

Ah yes, all are part of this Gazawood and Hamas.

pathetic.

hgezim··on Show HN: Built a fast, light GUI for PostgreSQL (replaces DataGrip)
I built this in span of a couple hours using Claude Code. Session was literally 1 "context window" in length!
hgezim··on Ask HN: Doing $16k MRR. How do I deal with cease and desist?
Thanks for the feedback.

I've made some changes to help avoid the confusion: https://share.cleanshot.com/Gl1fg0gx

hgezim··on Ask HN: Doing $16k MRR. How do I deal with cease and desist?
Oh interesting. And yes YouTube-dl is a good comparison.

To be clear, I’ve had a few accounts on Midjourney used mostly for testing and demo purposes. At the moment I don’t have any Midjourney account hence TOS violation doesn’t apply.

hgezim··on Ask HN: Doing $16k MRR. How do I deal with cease and desist?
Yup, sure did. Just like I check with HR when I pass notes to my self on Slack where I'm the only member
hgezim··on Ask HN: Doing $16k MRR. How do I deal with cease and desist?
Now this is what I’m here for!

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this

Yeah if they do release an API I’m totally done. I honestly thought I’d have 3-6 months before they did but that’s not the case.

Do you see a world where I might be able to reconcile and have a positive outcome?

hgezim··on Ask HN: Doing $16k MRR. How do I deal with cease and desist?
I was really hoping to build out an amazing API product and when time came where they want to release one it would make more sense to acquire us. Alas.
hgezim··on Ask HN: Doing $16k MRR. How do I deal with cease and desist?
They’re huge. I’m sure their toilet paper rolls are make of $16k bills

I used to worry that the biggest threat was them releasing an API.

I’ve since learned that they won’t do that because they charge monthly fees to their customers and when a customer doesn’t use their credits, the credits don’t roll over and Midjourney pockets the cash.

Pay per use is bad for their business model.

lol .. I should’ve posted this autocomplete answer to start with
hgezim··on Ask HN: Doing $16k MRR. How do I deal with cease and desist?
I’m not forcing them to provide me a service at all. I’m not using their service. My customers happen to also be their customers.

Thanks! Complying means what, to you?

> Apple would have to be staffed by idiots to pay you for "noticing" that.

Do you know how quotes work? Do you work for Apple?

> Sure, it should be fixed

Glad you're on my side here! That's what I'm saying. It should be fixed.

Were you expecting this behaviour? This isn't strange to you? Again, do you work for Apple?

hgezim··on Ask HN: How do I make Apple pay up?
Oh that’s cool! I forgot about this!
hgezim··on Ask HN: How do I make Apple pay up?
Hey thanks for this take. Definitely feels like the approach I should take based on their behaviour.

Besides, what’s the harm in me discussing “intended behaviour”?

hgezim··on Ask HN: How do I make Apple pay up?
And then send Apple my survey results?! Not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel here.
hgezim··on Ask HN: How do I make Apple pay up?
Maybe I'm drinking my own koolaid here but I don't feel safe when I use this Apple device regularly.

How does Apple establish "prior art" if I go public with it? Can someone else claim credit for it?

hgezim··on Ask HN: Should I release my MidJourney API?
I initially tried DALL-E and SD but they don't compare, unfortunately.
hgezim··on Ask HN: Should I release my MidJourney API?
Thanks @megaroads. I'm using a "secret sauce" for the backend .. lol
hgezim··on Ask HN: Should I release my MidJourney API?
Yeah, definitely not doing that. Not sure how to proceed...

I should also point out that I did DM DavidH hoping to come up with a resolution but haven't heard back.

It goes without saying (not really, I guess ) that I don't intend to take advantage of their free plan or anything like that. I'm paying for every GPU hour I use (fast mode).

hgezim··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2020)
Damn. CommerceOwl is feeling the pressure to hire now.
hgezim··on Twitter funding a team to develop an open standard for social media
This has already started happening with things like AMP for Gmail.
hgezim··on Notion – All-in-one workspace for notes, tasks, wikis, and databases
Chrome-only.
hgezim··on The rise of the pointless job
Oh boy. I normally lurk but this one gets me.

Having to bag my own groceries is infuriating. In Canada, The Real Canadian Superstore was the first to do this and it has a shitty feel.

The lines are long, I bring my own bags and have to get out of peoples way as I pay and try to bag my own groceries.

I actually started going to self checkouts because if they don’t bag my groceries, cashiers are useless to me!

If you think bagging is just stuffing bags in orde that groceries come, you’re nuts. I hate it when a useless cashier takes my apples and just tosses them into bags too. They’re fragile and need to be handled as such.

I definitely think bagging is a service worth paying for and appreciate when I get a bagger that gets it.

Oh, my first real job was bagging and helping customers with the groceeos to their cars. Not useles.

hgezim··on Introducing Keybase Chat
Had an interesting manifestation of this overreach.

I'm using a gulp task to watch for file changes. `gulp-notify` gives me this error. I cleaned up keybase from my system but still getting this:

``` Message: 2017-02-09 11:37:56.154 terminal-notifier[2293:8114763] kCFURLVolumeIsAutomountedKey missing for file:///keybase/: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=257 "The file “keybase” couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it."
