<p>Hosted (remote) MCP enabling ChatGPT, Claude, and other LLMs or agents to search Reddit, Twitter, App Store, Play Store<p>I was tired of paying to different services just to be able to search and anlalyze data from different sources. I wanted to analyze appstore and playstore reviews for a category of apps, and saw that multiple startups charge subscription fees for what essentially, should be a pay as you go MCP, to be used with your AI applications.<p>So, made knowledgeforai.com, with which your AI will be able to access reddit, hackernews, play store and app store reviews, twitter and be able to analyze them<p>Please do check it out and any thoughts will be appreciated.</p>

<p>I had a similar problem, and when claude code (or codex) is running in sandbox, i wanted to put a cap or get notified on large contexts.<p>especially, because once x0K words crossed, the output becomes worser.<p><a href="https://github.com/quilrai/LLMWatcher" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/quilrai/LLMWatcher</a><p>made this mac app for the same purpose. any thoughts would be appreciated</p>

<p>interesting that you chose to go the MITM way.<p><a href="https://github.com/quilrai/LLMWatcher" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/quilrai/LLMWatcher</a><p>here is my take on the same thing, but as a mac app and using BASE_URL for intercepting codex, claude code and hooks for cursor.</p>

<p>Only reason I use searchable logs is, when I roll back something in claude conversation but later want to refer it.<p>Apart from that, may be somebody might find it useful for observing their usage patterns etc.<p>No grouping or correlation right now. Wanted to get some feedback/ opinions first</p>

<p><a href="https://github.com/quilrai/LLMWatcher/releases/latest/download/LLMWatcher-Apple-Silicon.dmg" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/quilrai/LLMWatcher/releases/latest/downlo...</a> - Signed and Notarized app<p>I use coding agents (claude code, codex, cursor etc) a lot and wanted a lightweight app which<p>1 - have searchable logs of all conversations
2 - rate limit or get notified if using too much context length (-especially useful for reminding myself to use a new session)<p>3 - block api keys etc from going to LLM providers<p>4 - get overview of tokens, tools used, and other interesting information<p>So, I made LLMWatcher<p>Using base url feature supported by most of the coding agents, LLMWatcher sits in the middle of coding sessions and can do all the above + some extra goodies<p>Also has a LLM Gateway feature, which can be used to get monitored/ proxied URLs with controls for any LLMs<p>Would love some feedback on this and to know if anyone finds it useful<p>Note: Always wanted to make desktop apps, and Tauri made it very easy to do so. Attempted with python first but got dragged into signing and packaging hell</p>

Google Banned Him for It"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>Author of NudeNet here.<p>I just scraped data from reddit and other sources so i could build a nsfw classifier and chose to open source the data and the model for general good.<p>Note that i was a 1 year experienced engineer working solely on this project in my free time, so it was basically impossible for me to review or clear out the few csam images in the 100,000+ images in the dataset.<p>Although, now i wonder if i should never have open sourced the data. Would have avoided lot of these issues.</p>

<p>I built trackernews because, originally, I wanted to track opinions on few stocks I was interested in across some subreddits.<p>The core idea is that, by defining keywords, and a description, trackernews identifies actually revelvant posts and extracts user-defined data points from these posts.<p>Along with defining keywords, trackernews also allows the user to define various types of fields which trackernews extracts from the posts.<p>This allows the users to get a glancable/ searchable dashboards along with important insights surfaced.<p>I pre-created some topics which people may find interesting for publis browsing<p>Opinions on LLMs, agents, agentic tools - <a href="https://trackernews.app/browse/Opinions%20on%20LLMs" rel="nofollow">https://trackernews.app/browse/Opinions%20on%20LLMs</a><p>Discussions about Databases - <a href="https://trackernews.app/browse/Database%20Debates" rel="nofollow">https://trackernews.app/browse/Database%20Debates</a><p>Opinions and releases of Mac, IOS apps - <a href="https://trackernews.app/browse/Mac%20and%20IOS%20apps" rel="nofollow">https://trackernews.app/browse/Mac%20and%20IOS%20apps</a><p>Would love any feedback on the approach, UX and the idea.<p>Thanks, Praneeth</p>

<p>This holds true in most other countries as well. Gore/ chopping of appendages is happily accepted and enjoyed (in movies, games etc) by all of India, whilst a simple kiss can be a taboo/ issue.</p>

<p>The model is trained by giving pairs of examples. So that it learns to generate an internal representation of images, texts or whatever inputs.<p>There are other ways to train, but this is the basic example.</p>

<p>> The 2021 M1 Air is a slightly chunkier fanless machine that runs circles around Intel laptops with desktop-class processors, at lower cost and up to triple/quadruple the battery life. It's unlike any Intel laptop you'll find on the market today.<p>Second this. I got the cheapest M1 macbook air in december and it really is streets ahead of competetion in terms of performace/ battery life.</p>
