thebestmoshe··on Examples are the best documentation
I’d say the part of the unit test that is helpful is the example of using the code.

It has a pro over documented examples in that they are _guaranteed_ to be correct.

thebestmoshe··on Ccusage: A CLI tool for analyzing Claude Code usage from local JSONL files
I really like how easy it is to run using bunx, pnpx, npx, etc.

But does anyone have thoughts on the security aspect. Getting people used to just running code like this that has full access to the system is slightly concerning.

On the other hand it’s no different than installing npm packages

thebestmoshe··on Seedance 1.0
Who is going to spend time watching those episodes if content is so easy to make? Everyone will be busy watching their own generated content.
thebestmoshe··on Seedance 1.0
It will figure out how to make ads that you do watch. If a generated video is good enough, people will watch it even though it’s an ad.
thebestmoshe··on Seedance 1.0
The thing is that people don’t know or won’t say what they like.

The TikTok algorithm is good at figuring out what you do. Not what you say. So the content will be a lot more engaging.

thebestmoshe··on Seedance 1.0
The future is something like the TikTok algorithm, but generated on the fly.

As you scroll, it learns what you like and generates more videos.

Home Assistant is working on one

thebestmoshe··on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
I’m working on a generic way of getting human input within any automated workflow.

The forms can be dynamically generated within the workflow, and then call back with the response.

The docs still need some work and I plan on adding some video demos, but here it is so far.

thebestmoshe··on Show HN: AboutIdeasNow – search /about, /ideas, /now pages of 7k+ personal sites
It's currently available as a subdomain of my personal site, since I have not yet finalized the domain for this project. However, each user's page will be at a path of the primary domain (e.g. example.com/moshe). `/ideas` is not supported at a sub-path (e.g. example.com/moshe/ideas).

I will be supporting custom domains, so I could support `/ideas` only for those sites.

Other options include redirecting/rewriting your personal `/ideas` path to this product. Or, offering subdomains (e.g. moshe.example.com/ideas)

thebestmoshe··on Show HN: AboutIdeasNow – search /about, /ideas, /now pages of 7k+ personal sites
I have the same issue. I have too many ideas with very limited amount of time to work on them. When I meet people, I want to share my ideas and get feedback about what they would find interesting, use, pay for, etc.

I'm building a platform to do this, so I can share my ideas.

My page is at https://ideas.moshegrunwald.com

thebestmoshe··on Show HN: AboutIdeasNow – search /about, /ideas, /now pages of 7k+ personal sites
I’m building something like this. It’s not yet available publicly, but you can see my personal page at https://ideas.moshegrunwald.com

You can see more details about this specific idea [here](https://ideas.moshegrunwald.com/ideas/i_mos2)

thebestmoshe··on Nine US states are teaming up to accelerate the adoption of heat pumps
I’m in the same boat as you. As far as I can tell the only option is something like Sensibo, which uses IR.

I would love to know if there is a better way to do this.

thebestmoshe··on Ask HN: What have you built with LLMs?
I’ve always wanted a tool to help me track my online orders. However, it wasn’t practical to make integrations with every merchant. Even scraping the order emails was way too much work to do for an unproven product.

Now with LLMs it’s simple to extract structured data from emails.

I built [Orderling](https://orderl.ing) that is basically a CRM for your orders. It uses OpenAI api to extract the order information and automatically adds it.

thebestmoshe··on iPhone apps harvest data when they send you notifications, researchers find
This guideline has been revised in 2020.

> Apple updated its App Store guidelines today with a change to its traditionally strict restrictions around push notifications. Apple has long banned apps from using notifications for “advertising, promotions, or direct marketing purposes,” but that changes today. Apps can now send marketing notifications when “customers have explicitly opted in to receive them.” Users must also be able to opt out of receiving the ads.

> The change follows a couple incidents over the past two years in which Apple bent its own rules by sending out push notifications that read a lot like ads. Since other companies’ apps could be banned or have their push notification privileges revoked for that behavior, the moves were criticized as another example of Apple getting away with special treatment because it controls the platform.

thebestmoshe··on Apollo 11 vs. USB-C Chargers (2020)
Isn’t this basically what SpaceX is doing?

> The flight software is written in C/C++ and runs in the x86 environment. For each calculation/decision, the "flight string" compares the results from both cores. If there is a inconsistency, the string is bad and doesn't send any commands. If both cores return the same response, the string sends the command to the various microcontrollers on the rocket that control things like the engines and grid fins.

thebestmoshe··on Ask HN: Experience using your user's Google Drive instead of a database?
Originally, when I started working on [Fileshark](fileshark.app) I designed it around using your own Google Drive as the storage backend. I ended up going in a different direction. Here are some of the reasons:

- Having the entire product be reliant Google is just too big a risk. Google has changed apis, and restricted access to third parties.

- Lots of added complexity around search, pagination, etc.

- Due to the last point, all the files need to be tracked in an external database. This adds a requirement to keep everything in sync.

- Now that the files are not stored in Google Drive, I’m working on adding an option to support auto backups to Google Drive.

thebestmoshe··on Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
I've used [Paperless ngx](https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/) for several years to manage my important personal documents. I wanted something like Paperless, but that is hosted. Selfhosted is nice, but I really needed these documents to always be available and accessible. At times, my self-hosted setup would be down.

I'm in the middle of building https://fileshark.app

It's still in early beta with some bugs, but I would love some feedback on the idea. I'd also love some feedback on the product.

thebestmoshe··on Ask HN: How do you manage email on a custom domain?
I was worried about emails not ending up in the inbox, but so far it hasn't been an issue.

It even has this Gmail label > Important according to Google magic

thebestmoshe··on Ask HN: How do you manage email on a custom domain?
Incoming emails to my domains are routed using Cloudflare.

I use Mailjet’s free tier for sending emails via Gmail.

thebestmoshe··on Bard coding update with Colab exporting
> Bard is still an early experiment, and may sometimes provide inaccurate, misleading or false information while presenting it confidently. When it comes to coding, Bard may give you working code that doesn’t produce the expected output, or provide you with code that is not optimal or incomplete. Always double-check Bard’s responses and carefully test and review code for errors, bugs and vulnerabilities before relying on it.

thebestmoshe··on OneNDA – We've Standardised the NDA
Why do I need to put in my email address to even view the contents of the NDA?
thebestmoshe··on “Please don't add any of my stuff to this project”
It was just added to Home Assistant, which is why it was being added to `nixpkgs` now.
