We have a waitlist because we haven't released the extension in the Chrome Web Store yet, but it's fully open source and you can download and run it on your local machine today!

A smart, reliable form-filler was one of the pre-GPT ideas I've thought about building for a very long time. That may have been one of the subconscious inspirations for what became Taxy. :D

Not yet, but that's definitely a direction I'm excited to explore. At a minimum we're planning on shipping a "viewport" concept and giving GPT the ability to scroll up/down so it doesn't have to load the w

That's the direction I'd like to take this longer-term. The major advantages are: lower latency, lower costs and better auditability/reproducibility each time you run a workflow. The major disadvantage is less resiliency if t

by kcorbitt 4y ago
There are multiple sources of latency: (1) parsing, simplifying and templatizing the DOM, (2) sending it to OpenAI and waiting for the response, (3) actually performing the action (which includes some internal waiting depending on what the

Right now the tool isn't reliable enough for us to feel comfortable releasing automated workflows. However, there are a lot of low-hanging fruit improvements we're planning on making to reliability, and once that's taken care

We do have a switcher in the UI that lets you run against either GPT-3.5-turbo or GPT-4. We've mainly been using GPT-4 for internal tests because in the "Make it work, make it right, make it fast" development flow, we're

Hey HN! My brother Arctic_fly and I spent the last two weeks since the GPT-4 launch building Taxy, an open source Chrome extension that lets you automate arbitrary tasks in your browser using GPT-4. You can see a few demos in the Github REA

What kind of insights do you expect a machine to be able to extract? I passed your example to GPT-3, and got back results that seem about the same as I'd expect from a human: PROMPT: > This is a test of reading comprehension. Read t

Part of the magic of asdf is that it reads a `.tool-versions` file from anywhere above your current directory and applies the correct version of each tool based on the listed value. (You can also configure a global default version for each

For folks wanting to play around with the GPT-3 code-editing capabilities referenced in the article within your own codebase, I wrote a simple open source VS Code plugin that lets you run commands against your currently-open file and get GP

What funny timing! Just this week I've actually been working on an open source VS Code extension that uses OpenAI's new code edit API[1] to let you write or edit code in your IDE by typing instructions. And as a bonus related to t

Hey bloniac, sorry you had a negative experience. We only "reject" candidates if they're using the platform for something other than finding a co-founder (eg. selling their consulting services), or if the profile is incomplet

by kcorbitt 5y ago
Do you know how they found your ad on a job board in that case? Were they explicitly looking for co-founder positions?
141.
by kcorbitt 5y ago
Interesting -- for the equity-only co-founder you're working with, were they explicitly looking for a co-founder position before you approached them or were they looking for a normal job and changed their mind as a result of seeing you

You're exactly the kind of person we're hoping to help with this. I'd love to get your feedback given your experience with other venues. If you choose to try YC co-founder matching, feel free to send me feedback on what did&#

by kcorbitt 5y ago
This stat is referring to initial meetings between accepted match requests. Not all (or even most) of those initial connections will turn into an actual co-founder relationship, and founders can of course connect with multiple potential co-

by kcorbitt 5y ago
I think there will inevitably be a long "dating" period with a new co-founder who you're working with for the first time, and a fairly high attrition rate with these relationships, concentrated in the early days. In practice

Hmm, interesting. Will look into that! In the meantime, I assume if you edit your profile to add something to the last name field, it fixes the issue?

There's nothing in the program or community that's directed towards people of a specific age! We don't collect demographic information, but based on my interactions with the community we definitely have lots of 50+ entreprene

Right now, it's only built with a single founder looking for another single founder in mind. That said, we've seen a number of folks hack around this by mentioning in their profile introduction that they already have a partial tea

Worth mentioning that as of today, YC is also publicly launching a (free) co-founder matching marketplace. (I'm on the team that built it, so would love any feedback on the platform as well!) :) https://www.startupschool.org
