Nope didn't say to "integrate it for me". Simply said I expect there to be an npm to use in case I don't want to use the hosted UI. Very common, almost everyone does it. I would even expect that of free-to-use SaaS. Exam

Awesome work, I ended up building a custom invoice builder as part of a larger custom SaaS for my wife & my local business, so this product resonates big time. My random internet person's opinion: Instead of a 14-day trial, I think

Do you know what is on a criminal background report? It's exactly their criminal history. You claimed that courts do not store documents about cases in SQL databases (e.g. case number, defendant name, their plea, etc.) but that's

Not true. How would people look up cases online if that was the case? I built Checkr's background check ETA in Ruby/React, and had to get background check certified to work there. Part of onboarding was going down to the courthous

True, and there are CNAs, LVNs, and RNs, which all have different responsibilities - to your point both the CNA and RN seem safe for now, it's really the patient intake and information piece. Some mechanic positions will be replaced by

Yeah especially in that scenario. Do something super trendy with LLMs or procedural pixel art or something and do a Show HN. Looking at nuance.js you seem to like writing libraries. The JavaScript side of AI needs lots of help with little u

Sure, everything has some margin of error, even conventional tech: I can say "at the end of the day it's just SQL queries so there's some chance of a mistake" or "at the end of the day a human could read it wrong&qu

RAG is the indexing and querying of info inside documents. It puts it in a vector database, for example, pgvector - an extension of SQL to allow you to store data in numerical form - then you can query it using natural language (via the LLM

For young people in their first job, knowledge workers passionate about the subject, lifestyle founders, and others... work is seen as play. It's part of who they are and what they do. Those who need to work (a lot of us) are those w

Syntax is really nice, I'm just as impressed as the first time I saw Three.js as JSX (via react-three-fiber). It's nice to know I have this option if I ever use Svelte + Three.

Maybe I wasn't that clear, but I did say in my original post: I used to think AI would replace doctors before nurses, and lawyers before court clerks - now I think it's the other way around. The doctor, the lawyer - like the soft

Rudely? Ha - they misrepresented my point about RAG tooling not replacing lawyers into a straw man about replacing lawyers - I never said that, said the opposite. Secondly, it's obvious they have not used RAG, or they wouldn't say

That's fair, and although I disagree, I at least like that the debate has evolved from doctors vs LLMs to Wikipedia vs LLMs . When we accept that AI is not replacing knowledge workers, the conversation changes to a more digestible a

You already mentioned it - RAG. But like the "AI lawyer", the "AI doctor", the "AI coder", it doesn't replace the analyst, it just improves the quality and output of their work. It might replace analys

This is our sign to start boycotting OpenAI - they're behind the lobbying of this. Instead of writing your senator who is owned by OpenAI - just throw away your `OPENAI_API_KEY` and use one of the many open models like mistral or llama
