Show HN: Little Rat – Chrome extension monitors network calls of all extensions https://bit.ly/3DTI0AH

Show HN: Little Rat – Chrome extension monitors network calls of all extensions Hi HN I needed a way to monitor network calls made by chrome extensions so I made a small extension. You can install it by dropping the zip or crx into the extensions page. It'll be on the chrome store whenever/if it gets through the review. Hopefully it's useful to others. https://bit.ly/3DRGrn0 https://twitter.com/dnak0v https://bit.ly/3DRGrn0 August 14, 2023 at 12:49PM

Show HN: A website chatbot that also uses APIs https://bit.ly/3qmNnp7

Show HN: A website chatbot that also uses APIs Hi! "Another chatbot for your content" you may ask? Not really! Let me explain. I have realized that there's an untapped potential for ChatGPT plugins: why leave them locked up in the OpenAI store? Let's embed them on websites or share using links! Let's make chatbots ~ do stuff ~, not just talk about what they know. That's how Chatwith was born. It is a chat widget, it scrapes your website, knowledge page, notion etc - but more importantly, it also understands your API. It can interact with that API on your or your visitors' behalf. Some use cases & ideas: - Shopify bot - ask it for order status and invoice - Realtor - ask for budget, provide listings - Survey - ask questions, collect answers, submit to Typeform - Airline service - get your boarding pass - Mixpanel - talk to your analytics In other words: - Talk to APIs & hot data - ChatGPT plugin on every website - Your SaaS can be a chatbot - APIs made accessible (they were reserved for devs until now) - Create an API, use chat as the interface - skip the frontend I am trying to envision a future where website visitors are empowered to just say what they want from the business - instead of navigating endless dashboards and documentation. I'm looking for some feedback about my product! lmk Rafal https://bit.ly/3DWDvpg August 14, 2023 at 01:08PM

Show HN: Awayto v2 short demo; an actual all-in-one framework https://bit.ly/3DUG62U

Show HN: Awayto v2 short demo; an actual all-in-one framework Hey folks, just putting this up as a demo link for people to try out. It's a project I've been working on since January and in light of recent framework posts lately I figured I'd start talking about my own. The link is a demo site of Awayto v2 [1] (ignore the front page info that's all from version 1). Awayto [0] started out as a quick deploy app which grew to exist via AWS. I felt the need to make something that wasn't so closely tied to cloud infra, and Awayto v2 is that. Currently deployed on hetzner vms, using Tailscale for networking, there is a great deal of things going on. There is a local installation path planned, as long as you provide your own servers, etc, as it all just works on Tailscale anyway. I'm still working on docs, but the goal is to spit out _everything_ a dev might want to control in their stack. My current version of deploying to hetzner sets up 7 servers (2 ns, exit, build, app, db, svc). Git profile [2] for more info, tech stack info. This is just a short demo and will only be up a limited time. There's no email validation or anything, gibberish is welcome. You are not being tracked. I know I need how-to docs, video assists, and all that. Slow and steady. It's being hosted from a single warehouse in the Pacific Northwest, be kind. Caching is in play and not perfectly tuned so maybe wait a few minutes if something doesn't automatically show up. Any feedback is awesome. Cheers!

Show HN: Mixtape of 200 “futuristic” songs circa 1980 https://bit.ly/3KCLY4u

Show HN: Mixtape of 200 “futuristic” songs circa 1980 I'm posting this long mix of 200 "futuristic" music recordings, in chronological order (from the mid 1970's to the mid 1980's). Some are obvious (eg: "She Blinded Me With Science") while others are long forgotten (eg: G.G. Tonet's "Dedicated To Norbert Wiener" or Jyl's "Silicon Valley") --- Circa 1980 Mixtape https://bit.ly/3Yw1e8Y --- While the theme of the linked mix (ie: tech) probably interests some here, it is likely too fluffy for many others so apologies for that. This thing took me almost two years to finish, so in a moment of weakness I am going ahead and posting it here. There actually is a tech angle to why it took so long. After I gathered the 200 audio tracks I wanted, I wound up stymied for several months because trying to match the timbre and loudness of 200 songs overwhelmed me. During that time I began writing a program in my spare time to band-split all the files and match their perceived loudness. I got around half-way through that when OpenAI released GPT4. On a whim, I asked it to write a BASH script to perform the auto-EQ: a couple evenings of minor tweaks and it was done https://bit.ly/3L1hQjJ so I went ahead and completed the mix. The final mixing together of songs - I am not a DJ and have no experience beat-matching - was also done programmatically (wrote a program that takes start- and end- times of the regions to crossfade, and then ramps samplerate up or down for the two tracks.

Show HN: I used AI to turn people into GigaChads https://bit.ly/3qBYtGC

Show HN: I used AI to turn people into GigaChads Hey folks! I want to share a project I've been working on during my free time over the past few months. It's a mobile app that uses AI to turn people into over 30 famous meme images: from GigaChad to DiCaprio. You can check out some of the results here: https://bit.ly/3YzRJ8I I was inspired by the Remix option in Midjourney. At the end of 2022 I saw an article how people using this feature combine two pictures and get some crazy results mixing people with animals and generating new memes. Later, to have a little fun, I decided to prank my friend using the Midjourney Remix with his photos. However, I wasn't satisfied with the results. So I built my own pipeline using Stable Diffusion + DreamBooth + some other components, and created a few images by mixing his face with memes. My friend had a good laugh when he saw them. I thought it would be a good idea to make the process easier to repeat so I built MeMemes app. I hope you all enjoy it and have some fun, and would love to hear your feedback! P.S: Due to high server cost I take small fee for generation. But today I will make it just 1$. https://bit.ly/3YzRJ8I August 13, 2023 at 05:12AM

Show HN: Hypersprawl – a metaverse with 4 spatial dimensions https://bit.ly/456N1C7

Show HN: Hypersprawl – a metaverse with 4 spatial dimensions Hi all, Years ago I was wondering what kind of problems superhuman AI would be able to solve that would be difficult for humans. I came up with problems requiring higher dimensional spatial awareness. Scratching my head a bit further, the humble me started thinking that actually there is no reason why our brains could not handle higher spatial dimensions, if the brain was just given appropriate feedback from our sensory system. Fast forward a lot of further head scratching, and here is a barely MVP of a VR environment for 4 spatial dimensions, with some navigation aids including acoustic sensory augmentation (sounds fancier than it is...) First I thought to have just the Hypershack where you can locally build 4d stuff on your browser, but then thought it would be cool to have also a 4d metaverse where you could share and see 4d things built by others - and there might be even a way to monetise this for me by renting real estate in there. So, that is Hypersprawl. To manage expectations, the performance is bad for now, I have limited the Hypersprawl to 10 4d objects per address. You can use Hypershack for free, also there are lots of free addresses in Hypersprawl, only if you want to get closer to the Black Sun (sorry Stephenson, I couldn't not copy that), you need to make a donation or subscription. You do not need to have a VR headset to have a look, browser is enough, but of course immersion suffers quite a lot. All feedback is more than welcome. Frankly, I do not expect this to be a major commercial success and actually I think this may be a bit too far in the fringes of geekiness to find anyone else interested, but I guess this community is one of the better places to try to prove me wrong. (So, have I been successful in getting any intuition in 4 spatial dimensions? So far not much luck on that, only that the 4d space is huge. Literally mind-bogglingly huge. I think my next direction is to spend some time figuring out the pedagogy on what objects/functionality I should have there to get the intuition. But do not expect anything to be quick with this one, and I am talking more likely about years than months.) Cheers, Teemu https://bit.ly/3OF8nQ6 August 12, 2023 at 03:50PM

Show HN: Tetris, but the blocks are ARM instructions that execute in the browser https://bit.ly/3s8mXrF

Show HN: Tetris, but the blocks are ARM instructions that execute in the browser OFRAK Tetris is a project I started at work about two weeks ago. It's a web-based game that works on desktop and mobile. I made it for my company to bring to events like DEF CON, and to promote our binary analysis and patching framework called OFRAK. In the game, 32-bit, little-endian ARM assembly instructions fall, and you can modify the operands before executing them on a CPU emulator. There are two segments mapped – one for instructions, and one for data (though both have read, write, and execute permissions). Your score is a four byte signed integer stored at the virtual address pointed to by the R12 register, and the goal is to use the instructions that fall to make the score value in memory as high as possible. When it's game over, you can download your game as an ELF to relive the glory in GDB on your favorite ARM device. The CPU emulator is a version of Unicorn ( https://bit.ly/446wWer ) that has been cross-compiled to WebAssembly ( https://bit.ly/47p0N4z ), so everything on the page runs in the browser without the need for any complicated infrastructure on the back end. Since I've only been working on this for a short period of time leading up to its debut at DEF CON, there are still many more features I'd eventually like to implement. These include adding support for other ISAs besides ARM, adding an instruction reference manual, and lots of little cleanups, bug fixes, and adjustments. My highest score is 509,644,979, but my average is about 131,378. I look forward to feedback, bug reports, feature requests, and strategy discussions! https://bit.ly/47vrqoC August 11, 2023 at 12:56AM
