I have no practical use for this but I want to play with it anyway. Looks cool.

Typically one email per story.

It checks every 5 minutes, and if more than one story happens to meet the criteria during that 5 minute bucket then it'll put them into one email (so the "hiring" checks appear in one email). But in reality because it's rare that 2 stories will trend within the same 5 minute bucket it ends up being one email per story.

Currently working on HN Alerts — a simple free site I made to alert me (via email) to trending stories on Hacker News.

It sends me an email once a story hits a certain number of upvotes per minute, so it's useful for keeping track of breaking news.

It'll also soon allow you to get alerted to specific words or phrases in titles. (I have one set up so the monthly hiring threads notify me as soon as they appear.)

No, it's never promised unlimited — it's always had usage limits: 20× the usage of their regular Pro plan, with a limit of 50 sessions per month (a session being a 5-hour window), although I don't know if they ever enforced this.

They appear to have removed reference to this 50-session cap in their usage documents. (https://gist.github.com/eonist/5ac2fd483cf91a6e6e5ef33cfbd1e...)

So even if these mystery people Anthropic reference who did run it "in the background, 24/7", they still would've had to stay within usage limits.

My professional roles have typically involved much more than just coding, spanning product design, strategy, marketing, and customer support. I thrive in small, ambitious teams where I can make a tangible impact.

Outside of work, I've built successful side projects, including:

That's right. I made a VS Code extension to combine all the files I have open into one long string I can copy & paste.

Typically something like:

  Look carefully through my codebase and identify any bugs/issues, or refactors that could improve it.

  <codebase>
  …
  </codebase>

Doesn't have to be anything overly complicated to get good results. It also does well if you give it a git diff.

Pricing: $150 / 1M input tokens, $600 / 1M output tokens. (Not a typo.)

Very expensive, but I've been using it with my ChatGPT Pro subscription and it's remarkably capable. I'll give it 100,000 token codebases and it'll find nuanced bugs I completely overlooked.

(Now I almost feel bad considering the API price vs. the price I pay for the subscription.)

In theory there shouldn't be — LLMs are pretty robust to typos and usually infer the intended meaning regardless.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet is great, but on a few occasions I've gone round in circles on a bug. I gave it to o1 pro and it fixed it in one shot.

More generally, I tend to give o1 pro as much of my codebase as possible (it can take around 100k tokens) and then ask it for small chunks of work which I then pass to Sonnet inside Cursor.

Very excited to see what o3 pro can do.

If you do `/cost` it will tell you how much you've spent during that session so far.

If it's useful to anyone, I made a VS Code/Cursor extension that combines all open files into one big text document.

I use it with ChatGPT's o1 pro (which can handle around 100,000 tokens).

1. Open all of the files I think are relevant

2. Use the extension to combine them

3. Copy and paste into ChatGPT

It disappoints me when otherwise intelligent people take him for his word at this point. Even ignoring his descent into political madness and conspiracy, he's simply not trustworthy.

Fool me once, shame on Elon. Fool me 194 times, shame on me.

Unfortunately, not Flux. They're from Midjourney, using a few Degas as a style reference.

Whatever they're doing at Midjourney is still impressive. No training needed and a better result.

It's funny you should ask. I recently released a plugin (https://community-en.eagle.cool/plugin/4B56113D-EB3E-4020-A8...) for Eagle (an asset library management app) that allows you to write rules to caption/tag images and videos using various AI models.

I have a preset in there that I sometimes use to generate captions using GPT-4o.

If you use Replicate, they'll also generate captions for you automatically if you wish. (I think they use LLaVA behind the scenes.) I typically use this just because it's easier, and seems to work well enough.

Out of curiosity, what do you think of these? https://imgur.com/a/8p7RlMe

I suspect it really needs more training examples. The problem I found when I looked for images to use was that 60% were of dancers, and from past experience, it will end up trying to fit a dancer into every image you create. But of course, there are only a (small) finite number of Degas images that you can train with.

A possible solution may be to incorporate artificial images in the training data. So, create an initial LoRA with the original Degas images and generate 500 images. From those generated images, pick the ones that most resemble Degas. Add those to the training set and train again. Repeat until (hopefully) it learns the correct style.
