Perhaps a dumb question, but how do you get data into it if you’re not doing writes

Intergration testing is one. You can run this in your ci/locally to speed up tests. Or just for local dev. We do this with localstack[1]

In South Africa, health insurance is prohibitively expensive, but you can get funeral insurance as a value added service from your data plan provider, bank, or even your favourite football team. It is extremely common, so there’s just more money going around. That said all the other points made around the kinship society are still valid. Its also very like that they contribute to the proliferation of funeral insurance themselves.

Thank you. The LLMS are provided with the rules and output format and they have to write an agent (in Javascript) that will output a move at every tick. The prompt to create the initial snake and the prompt used to iterate are on the about page: https://botais.sello.dev/about.

A competitive multiplayer snake game where AI-controlled snakes written by frontier LLMs (GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok) go head to head.

I think it would be super helpful to have an example puzzle there so one can quickly try it out without having to find a sudoku puzzle elsewhere

Ive had the exact same issue since last week. it never fixed itself if that’s what you’re waiting for. I had to resort to creating a new account with a different email to get access again. Contacted support but yet to hear back. Not sure if it was the cause the issue happened when I try to buy Plus and that failed.

Fnb, a South African bank, has these as part of their offering for free. I use them for all new paid services. They're easy to create, block and delete and just fantastic for this sort n of thing

Ask HN: Has anyone managed to get credit card details removed from dockerhub?

giza182 — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 08:13:27 +0000

There is no way to do it on the web app. I sent emails to try have it removed, first one being on the 26th of Feb, all I got was an auto acknowledgement that it was received (Zendesk) and subsequent auto followups telling me the ticket is awaiting my response, even though there is nothing for me to respond to. I sent a follow up mail and still nothing. Has anyone actually managed to get their payment details removed from there?

A chance, yes - though not in the immediate term. When people request access we ask what app they use and we use that to prioritise what integrations to build next. So far no one has "voted" for Timing so its likely that other integrations will be built first.

Hi Jay, There is no dedicated FAQ section. If you have any questions, please send them to ttgp(at)gmail.com or send request access on the site. I will be following up with everybody that has done so.

Hi, Thanks for the feedback. I'm not aware of the apps on the Xero store that do this, I would appreciate any links to these. In addition to importing time entries, TTGP also does automated/scheduled invoices and document storage.

The main reason I started work on this was because the apps that I use did not have integrations that allowed me to do this. There's Zapier and automate.io integrations but they are trigger based. e.g create a new invoice when a new time entry is added - which is different from what TTGP does. There are also apps that do both the timesheet and invoicing and makes it trivial to import timesheets into your invoices, Harvest for example does this. But then that means you have to use the Harvest accounting software - I was not a fan of it and I believe a lot people would rather keep their existing tools vs move for this one feature.

This looks good. Will give a try. I know this is also more analytics/product focused. But one feature that I absolutely loved from another company in this space (https://www.fullstory.com/) is the ability to see the log of network requests and console logs. It was fantastic for debugging. Just thought I'd mention in case its a useful data point.

Convert your timesheets to invoices and get paid.
