Ask HN: The ISP has a competing product so has decided to block my domain
31 by qerim | 17 comments on Hacker News.
The ISP in my hometown (Albania + Kosovo) has decided to block my whole domain to my free legal streaming website because they also happen to offer IPTV services. I only found out after trying to access my site from Albania today, it just comes up with a “bad URL” request. The streams I serve on my site are public freely available TV channels, combined into a single page. Since EU laws do not apply to neither of these countries, is there any course of action I can take to prevent this sort of monopoly going on?

Ask HN: How to build F-You Skills
22 by lakevieew | 18 comments on Hacker News.
The past few months have been stressful for most people in the tech industry owing to mass layoffs everywhere. Luckily, I survived the layoffs at my company. But I was very anxious during the period it was announced and it affected my mental health quite a bit. However, on talking to a few other engineers at my company, I realized not everyone was as stressed. They are confident in their skills to get a new equivalent job which would easily support their current lifestyle, even in the current market. They have what I would call, "F-You Skills - Enough skills to know that you would never have to worry about money in your life", a spin on the more commonly known term "F-You Money" [1]. I was wondering if HN users ever think of their own skills in this context. If yes, how should one go about building these skills. To be clear, I am not talking about interviewing skills, which are also equally important. But I am more interested in technical skills that people believe will easily fetch them "decent money" [2] in any scenario in the short term future. [1] F-You Money means "Enough money to leave one's job, etc. and enjoy the lifestyle of one's choice" https://ift.tt/S7Ft8Rx [2] not insane money to retire early, but good enough to support their current lifestyle.

Show HN: Factual AI Q&A – Answers based on Huberman Lab transcripts
7 by rileyt | 1 comments on Hacker News.
This is a quick prototype I built for semantic search and factual question answering using embeddings and GPT-3. It tries to solve the LLM hallucination issue by guiding it only to answer questions from the given context instead of making things up. If you ask something not covered in an episode, it should say that it doesn't know rather than providing a plausible, but potentially incorrect response. It uses Whisper to transcribe, text-embedding-ada-002 to embed, Pinecone.io to search, and text-davinci-003 to generate the answer. More examples and explanations here: https://twitter.com/rileytomasek/status/1603854647575384067

OP here, this was super fun to build. It all started from playing around with Nat Friedman's GPT browser https://twitter.com/0xferruccio/status/1599014988693180417 Then after having this running for our product for a couple of days or so we decided to give 10 customers access and they loved it! So expanding access now feels great :)

Show HN: Web search using a ChatGPT-like model that can cite its sources
36 by rushingcreek | 26 comments on Hacker News.
We’ve trained a generative AI model to browse the web and answer questions/retrieve code snippets directly. Unlike ChatGPT, it has access to primary sources and is able to cite them when you hover over an answer (click on the text to go to the source being cited). We also show regular Bing results side-by-side with our AI answer. The model is an 11-billion parameter T5-derivative that has been fine-tuned on feedback given on hundreds of thousands of searches done (anonymously) on our platform. Giving the model web access lessens its burden to need to store a snapshot of human knowledge within its parameters. Rather, it knows how to piece together primary sources in a natural and informative way. Using our own model is also an order of magnitude cheaper than relying on GPT. A drawback to aligning models to web results is that they are less inclined to generate complete solutions/answers to questions where good primary sources don’t exist. Answers generated without underlying citable sources can be more creative but are prone to errors. In the future, we will show both types of answers. Examples: https://ift.tt/cm4gud3 https://ift.tt/y5eIDVk... https://ift.tt/oSkivyb... https://ift.tt/OCNlSKd... Would love to hear your thoughts.

Show HN: Publish from GitHub Actions using multi-factor authentication
7 by varunsharma07 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
The backstory about this GitHub Action: I discussed with an open-source maintainer why they publish npm packages from their local machine and do not use CI/CD pipelines. They said publishing should require human intervention and want to continue using multi-factor authentication to publish to the npm registry. This led to building the wait-for-secrets GitHub Action. It prints a URL in the build log and waits for secrets to be entered using a browser. Once entered, the workflow continues, and secrets can be used in future steps. The latest release of "eslint-plugin-react" to the npm registry used a one-time password (OTP) from a GitHub Actions workflow! https://ift.tt/szTx9RD...

Show HN: Unclutter – Reader mode, but better
22 by phgn | 10 comments on Hacker News.
Hey everyone! In the last months I've been working on Unclutter, a modern reader mode browser extension. In contrast to all existing approaches, it unclutters articles by modifying their CSS instead of extracting the text content. This results in a more visually pleasing result that reuses the original article style. The idea is to remove friction so you use the reader mode more often. There are a few more features around saving articles automatically and taking highlights -- more details are on the website. The extension has about 400 active weekly users right now, mostly from organic web store traffic. Monetisation has proven to be hard and for freemium there would need to be much higher numbers anyways. Do you think I should keep working on the project?

Show HN: Pickcode – A new way to introduce programming to kids
14 by csmeyer | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN, I've linked a tutorial from Pickcode, where students are guided through making a chatbot that plays mad libs. Pickcode is designed for introducing programming without block coding, in a way that's closer to Javascript or Python. I made Pickcode based on my frustrations teaching beginners in both block coding and in Python. The link here is to just one lesson, and I have a few more that you can find on the site. I'd love feedback from HNers with kids age 10-13 or so, or HNers who can put on an intro to programming hat. On the roadmap is adding more complex use cases for your programs (like drag and drop web apps), and obviously many more lessons. If you're a teacher and interested in using this with students, email me at charlie@pickcode.io

Show HN: An API for CO₂ Removal
5 by kisamoto | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi all, We're Fabienne and Ewan of Climacrux. Today we're proud to launch our latest project to try and make carbon dioxide removal as accessible as possible: CDR Platform [1]. In short: it’s an API to connect to a portfolio of carbon removers. You can purchase from as low as a single gram and select from both natural and technological removal methods. Longer: A couple of years ago we launched an alternative to carbon credits, Carbon Removed[2], designed for individuals to buy and subscribe to CDR. But we always had the nagging thought that there was more that could be done. CDR Platform is our foundation for that - a simple API to get prices and purchase (at the moment). Our plan is to become the Stripe of the carbon removal ecosystem, seamlessly connecting the supply to the demand. We’d love to hear your feedback. Do you see a use case for this and would you use it? What features have we missed? Do you understand what we’re doing and if not, what’s unclear? We’d love to hear from you.[3] Many thanks and happy hacking, Climacrux. P.s. If you are a carbon remover, send us your prices, life cycle analysis and some more information about your removal timeline. Our aim is to bring your services to a wider audience so you can focus on reducing our CO₂ levels. Thanks for your work! [1] https://ift.tt/bQrTni1 [2] https://ift.tt/Cdl4NJE [3] ewan@climacrux.com

Hi, I'm Ritinkar and I'm building metadocs, which is kind of like reddit built into every documentation ever. It's a chrome extension that allows discussion on any webpage to happen there itself. Currently I have built threaded comments, and a upvote/downvote system. Plus I've built this cool feature called Highlights, which lets you discuss specific lines in any documentation. As well as a feature called Top Hightlights, which shows the most interesting hightlights on any webpage. Hope you guys will try it out. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask me here. Thanks.

Show HN: Open Source Authentication and Authorization
6 by rishabhpoddar | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I’m Rishabh and the co-founder and CTO at https://supertokens.com (YC S20). We offer open-source user authentication and we just released our user roles product for companies implementing authorization. Our users are web developers, and a prominent and adjacent pain point for our users is authorization. Developers typically implement two independent solutions for authentication and authorization. Offering AuthN and AuthZ in a single solution is something we’ve been thinking about for the last few years. Quick primer, authentication is knowing who the user is, and authorization is knowing what the user has access to. A physical analogy: A person enters a building. Authentication means reading their ID card and knowing that the person’s name is John. Authorization means knowing which floors, offices, and files John has access to. With increasing privacy and data complexity, companies like Netflix[1], Slack[2], and Airbnb[3] have built out their own complex authorization systems. To build our user roles product, we started with a first principles approach of covering authorization use cases using scripting languages such as XACML and OPA. But looking at existing solutions built by talented teams like Oso[4], Aserto[5], Cerbos[6], Strya[7], we realized that while these were powerful solutions, they were often overkill for most early to mid-stage companies (especially on the B2C side). We went back to the drawing board, reached out to our users and after dozens of conversations, we realized that most authorization needs require the ability to 1. Assign and manage roles and permissions 2. Store roles in the DB and session tokens to make it readable on the frontend and 3. Protect APIs and websites based on these roles and permissions. And so, we built user roles – a simple RBAC authorization service that focuses on the balance between simplicity and utility. It doesn’t cover many complex cases and we’re not looking to displace any of the authorization incumbents. But you can add AuthN and AuthZ using a single solution, quickly. In the near future, we’ll be launching an admin GUI where you can manage your users and their roles with a few clicks. We’d love for you to try it out and hear what additional functionality you’d like to see. What are your favorite authentication providers and what do they get right? - [1]: https://ift.tt/uBeJHAr... - [2]: https://ift.tt/1eorTDK - [3]: https://ift.tt/vqGY6Ci... - [4]: https://www.osohq.com/ - [5]: https://www.aserto.com/ - [6]: https://cerbos.dev/ - [7]: https://www.styra.com/
