How is this going to turn out? Is GPT going to recommend me the worst product whose company paid the most on Ads? Or is it going to give me the best recommendation?

Building PushMe: A service that sends you notifications for anything you care about.

I was wasting way to much time scrolling news. It consist of a crawling engine, de-duplication, llm creating a custom keyword filter and each event is checked against the original prompt for verification using a llm before sending it out.

Keywords suck, 381 of 388 potential matches end up like this:

"The event is about an OpenClaw Plugin Hub supply chain attack, not a data breach affecting hundreds of millions of users. The watch request specifies a massive data breach; the event does not clearly indicate that."

Awesome project. I used a similar program (minimodem[1]) a while ago to configure Wi-Fi settings via audio [2]. It's great being able to do some basic setting without having a radio connection. Amazon used the same technique in their Dash-Button albeit in the inaudible range [3].

Such an email-address is pretty much as worthless as gmx or hotmail if everybody is able to create one. Email addresses of well known universities look good because they are hard to get. You have to put some kind of scarcity into your service.

SpaceX has a very clear description how to apply http://www.spacex.com/careers.php. They offer the possibility to inculde a videolink, thats definitely a chance to stand out. Depending on the position your applying for you may have to work on very critical szenarios. Try to give your application the level of perfection a mission critical component would require. Also consider SpaceX probably recieves hundreds of applications. It may be better to stricly follow their guidelines in order to keep their application system efficient.

Opacity should be a scroll bar, and a rectangular selection (eg. for filling/erasing larger areas) would be nice

Ask HN: How to promote a minimum viable product?

yodakohl — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 01:24:11 +0000

I spent the last few weeks in an emotional rollercoaster building a webservice. I finally got a minimal product working, but I'm way too biased to recognize if the product is valuable or on the wrong way. With zero users, my product desperately cries for some early feedback. On the other hand I feel insecure about releasing an unfinished product which may contains bugs and with just one core feature to an public audience. How do you promote a MVP, and how do you decide when it's time for a first release?

yodakohl — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 00:52:45 +0000

Putting myself in a convenient environment is crucial for my productivity. I have two places, one in work, one at home that are dedicated for working purposes. Within this environment I always listen to www.trance.fm, lyrics would distract me. It's a never ending stream so I don't have to care about selecting tracks. I don't care about headphones, as long as they aren't uncomfortable to wear.

Seems like an expensive version of digitalocean.com Tier1 offers similar features to digitalocean but is 159$ vs 10$

Wouldn't it be easier to assign signal strength to certain GPS-dots and visualize the gathered data on the computer?
