Just tried on Chrome instead of safari and it worked this time. Thanks and congrats on the launch!

Popup window with "Load Failed" after it had some progress on the bar past 40% or so. Shows up in the library, but won't play. I just deleted it for now.

I used to love using it. But, all of my coworkers hated it. I haven't revisited since the AI boom. Maybe it will have a bit of a comeback. Many people found it too difficult.

That caused a much needed chuckle this morning.

New comment by ActVen in "Ask HN: Do you still use Search Engines?"

ActVen — Tue, 08 Apr 2025 12:32:30 +0000

Way less than I used to. I have been a pretty advanced user since before google. The combination of AI and quick auto links to wikipedia articles on iOS have replaced much of it. The one place I still use it extensively is in local searches for businesses and when trying to find a brand or business that I know if they don't have an app.

Same question here. I have found repomix to get the job done really well.

Any unique benefits over using this vs something like Repomix? https://github.com/yamadashy/repomix

I really wish they would open up the reasoning effort toggle on o1 API. o1 Pro Mode is still the best overall model I have used for many complex tasks.

This is a great example of why people should not be afraid to be bold.

Definitely. I'm just talking about an interesting way to identify content creation on a site.

It might be very interesting to check your current traffic against recent api outages at OpenAI. I have always wondered how many bots we have out there in the wild acting like real humans online. If usage dips during these times, it might be enlightening. https://x.com/mbrowning/status/1872448705124864178

New comment by ActVen in "Ask HN: Is any recent hourly social media activity data available?"

ActVen — Fri, 27 Dec 2024 16:37:51 +0000

Nice, that is a good idea. I think that result wouldn't be too surprising to anyone here. :)

Ask HN: Is any recent hourly social media activity data available?

ActVen — Fri, 27 Dec 2024 00:58:52 +0000

I think it would be really fascinating and maybe a bit shocking if we could see hourly reddit comments, x posts, etc graphed over periods where the OpenAI API was down. Anyone seen anything like this?

If anyone has any feedback on how useful the end product was or how it compares to other tools, I would love to hear it.

Show HN: Create and Run a Team of Web Research AI Agents with a Prompt

ActVen — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 17:02:01 +0000

Hi everyone. We have been building a system that lets users create a team of AI web research agents from a simple chat interface. We just launched a free beta of the service and would love some feedback. It’s capable of web research right now. Think topics, not bulk data mining. The backend uses frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic. Jobs take about 10 minutes to run. Let me know what you think. Thanks! michael@soaringtitan.com more info at https://soaringtitan.com/labs/team-of-ai-agents

Ask HN: Any tips on getting an invite to OpenAI Dev Day?

ActVen — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 19:03:22 +0000

We are located in the midwest and would love to attend the OpenAI dev day. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve our odds at getting selected? We are building out agent frameworks that assemble and complete work based on simple natural language prompts. https://soaringtitan.com/labs/team-of-ai-agents

The on device benchmarks are impressive. Especially tool use.

We have been working on an internal tool that allows you to create a team of AI agents and tasks with a simple prompt. We find it very useful. If you have any feedback on the concept or might find something like this useful, please let us know. We are considering launching it as a project. Thank you!
