And at this point it's not just a productivity booster, it's as essential as using a good IDE. I feel extremely uncomfortable and slow writing any code without auto-completion.
StrandedKitty | 7 months ago | on: How can AI ID a cat?
Is this even something that's possible with current tech? Like, surely cats have some facial features that can be used to uniquely identify them? It would be cool to have a global database of all cats that users would be able to match their photos against. Imagine taking a picture of a cat you see on the street, and it immediately tells you the owner's details and whether it's missing.
StrandedKitty | 7 months ago | on: Sign in with Google in Chrome
I recently added it to a SaaS web app I'm working on, and the number of new sign ups went up 8x overnight. You don't necessarily have to create an account to use the minimal functionalty of our app, but after signing up you do get some perks, and we get a way to communicate with the user through email. So I think it can be beneficial for both parties.

Is this just you subjective experience or is it backed by some data or research? For me personally, sleeping after phenibut doesn't feel healthy at all -- in fact I often end up sleeping for 12+ hours unless I have something important to do in the morning, and it's extremely hard to get out of bed every time.

By the way, if you are running any high-traffic websites you can donate your users' device data to web3dsurvey (with a simple JS snippet). I'm sure it will be appreciated.

StrandedKitty | 10 months ago | on: The behavior of LLMs in hiring decisions: Systemic biases in candidate selection
Wow, this is unexpected. I remember reading another article about some similar research -- giving an LLM two options and asking it to choose the best one. In their tests LLM showed clear recency bias (i.e. on average the 2nd option was preferred over the 1st).

StrandedKitty | 11 months ago | on: Show HN: I built Lovable for text bots and mini apps
I think the main reason people prefer making chat bots in Telegram is that it's completely free and unlimited, i.e. you can create any number of chat bots, send any number of messages with attached files of any size. Their API is very easy to use too.

StrandedKitty | 1 year ago | on: Sell yourself, sell your work
If you have a new product and you want to market it to a wide audience then you have nothing to worry about because you have nothing to lose. Being "ignored into oblivion" doesn't mean that you can't try again, and nobody knows you so you won't attract a mob. The world is so vast that no matter what you do and how hard you try to sell something, your actions will affect very few people and leave only a barely noticeable footprint.
Maybe this is exactly what the problem is -- we now have means to connect with the whole world through the internet, but we tend to treat these connections quite conservatively as if it's our close circle. It's not acceptable to make yourself hated by a friend, but I think it's absolutely fine if it's thousands of strangers instead as long as it's done for what feels like a good cause.
I think typically, the reason people are disclosing their usage of LLMs is that they want offload responsibility. To me it's important to see them taking responsibility for their words. You wouldn't blame Google for bad search results, would you? You can only blame the entity that you can actually influence.
