1. Show HN: Open-source x64 and Arm GitHub runners
URL: https://www.ubicloud.com/use-cases/github-actions
Author: umur
Description: Ubicloud is an open source cloud. Think of it as an open alternative to cloud providers, like what Linux is to proprietary operating systems. You can self-host Ubicloud or use our managed service.
Our first use-case is GitHub Actions. We support x64 and arm64 Linux runners; and reduce your Github Actions bill by 10x. We can give you hardware similar to default GitHub runners because of the very high margins on the cloud. One difference with our hardware is that we use local NVMes for better disk performance.
Ubicloud and our GitHub Actions integration is also open source. You can check out our integration here: https://github.com/ubicloud/ubicloud/blob/main/routes/web/we...
For security and isolation, we give you a clean and ephemeral VM for each job. When the job completes, we deprovision the VM and wipe out the block storage device attached to the VM. We set up your firewall rules to lock down access to the VM; and also encrypt your data at rest and in-transit.
(We use Linux KVM and the Cloud Hypervisor as our underlying VM tech. For our block device, we use and extend SPDK: https://www.ubicloud.com/blog/building-block-storage-for-clo...)
Ubicloud runners are also fully compatible with GitHub runners. To get started, all you need to do is change 1-line in your workflow file. Each account gets 1,250 free build minutes per month with standard-2 runners.
We’d love to hear your feedback!

7. Show HN: Turn OpenAPI to Universal TypeScript SDKs
URL: https://www.speakeasyapi.dev/product/typescript-sdk
Author: simplesager
Description: Hi HN! We’re excited to share our new code generator that lets you ship high-quality TypeScript SDKs, that your users will love, from your OpenAPI documents. Our ongoing goal is to help you build one SDK that runs anywhere modern JavaScript runs. This includes new runtimes like Deno and Bun in addition to the ever-popular Node.js. Additionally, the popularity of AI has meant server-sent events and file streaming are also commonplace - we wanted to cover these use cases too. This explosion in new runtimes and ways of interacting with APIs shifts cognitive burden on API developers often having to work with different technologies when integrating an API. At Speakeasy we set out to create a “Universal Typescript SDK” that would work across browser, servers and other runtimes.
There are a number of open source generators out there but none of them provided enough coverage across the variety of APIs we see modelled with OpenAPI. Some of the requirements we tried to hit in this release:
- Compatibility with the browser & server
- Support for popular, backend JavaScript runtimes including Node.js, Bun, Deno
- User input and server response validation with Zod
- Support for polymorphic types, also known as unions or oneOf in OpenAPI.
- Support for constant and default values, big integers and decimals
- Support for multipart streaming upload
- Support for server sent events using native OpenAPI constructs
We want to give a special shout out to Zod because it served as a great foundation for translating all the JSON Schema primitives used in OpenAPI into TypeScript types that you can trust. By this we mean that the types are backed by runtime validation so vanilla JS users have a safeguard and servers that drift from their OpenAPI spec are caught instead of silently failing or triggering obscure runtime errors. If you’re curious to dive into our learnings check out this post https://www.speakeasyapi.dev/post/how-we-built-universal-ts
We’d love for folks to check out our new generator and give us feedback. Its really easy to get started. Install our CLI with brew install speakeasy-api/homebrew-tap/speakeasy and run speakeasy generate sdk -s openapi.yaml --output ./sdk -l typescript .

8. Show HN: Easily compare the costs of newsletter platforms
URL: https://nl-compare.streamlit.app
Author: japhyr
Description: I've been writing on Substack for the last year, and from the beginning I've been aware that I might want to migrate to a different platform at some point. I've been looking into the various alternatives to Substack for a while, and always found it difficult to compare costs across the different platforms. There's just too many variables that factor into the cost, and each platform has a slightly different pricing scheme.
I've also been looking for the chance to try Streamlit, a Python library for making dashboards. Getting started with Streamlit was even easier than I imagined, so I ended up making a dashboard for comparing the costs of hosting a newsletter on each of five platforms: Ghost Pro, Buttondown, beehiiv, Substack, and ConvertKit. You can input the number of subscribers you need to support, the percentage of subscribers with a paid subscription, and the average annual revenue per paid subscriber.
If anyone here is thinking of starting a newsletter, or migrating to a different platform, you might find it helpful. If you've been curious about Streamlit, you might be interested as well. There's a link to the GitHub issue tracker, so if you find anything broken or inaccurate feel free to comment here or open an issue.
One thing that's interesting to see is how differently some of the pricing schemes behave at lower subscriber numbers, and lower annual revenue amounts. Someone with a large following and a large revenue base has a much different set of choices than someone with a small subscriber base and a lower ratio of paid subscribers.

Description: Hey there HN!
I lead Product at Vectara. Some of us read a lot of articles on the web (like those on HN) and we were desperately trying to recall the text we read -- using semantic search because we might not have remembered the exact text we read. (Or ask questions about the content -- ChatGPT style.)
Sankofa is a new browser extension that can automatically index web pages you visit and let you search / ask questions about that content. We built it using Vectara's retrieval-augmented-generation (RAG) platform and hope this is useful to folks.
This is an initial release: we would love to hear any feedback and suggestions!

13. Show HN: Zerve, Cloud-First, Serverless IDE for Data Science and API Development
URL: https://www.zerve.ai
Author: jason_zerve
Description: Hi HN, Jason CTO & Co-Founder at Zerve here.
I’m really excited to be sharing Zerve AI with you today which is a cloud-first, coding environment for Data Science & AI. It’s a real-time, collaborative IDE for EDA, model training and deployments. Code executes serverlessly due to the separation of storage and compute. This enables language interoperability, parallelization and configurability of compute per block (a block is akin to a cell in a Jupyter notebook). The artifacts produced during exploration can be deployed directly to APIs which can be created through the App. The storage and compute can be self-hosted in your cloud account (currently AWS) and there is a GitHub app available for version control.
Check out our website and try it out for free:

14. Show HN: Rate limiting, caching and request prioritization for AI apps
URL: https://www.fluxninja.com/
Author: gillh
Description: Generative AI applications pose a unique challenge in production. They are computationally intensive and orders of magnitude slower than traditional data-intensive applications. Scaling these applications is further complicated by expensive hardware requirements and GPU shortages. Consequently, developers are scrambling to implement home-grown caching and rate-limiting solutions, which are error-prone and difficult to get right.
FluxNinja Aperture delivers a production-grade experience with a purpose-built load management platform that provides rate & concurrency limiting, caching, and request prioritization for generative AI applications. Developers can wrap their workloads with Aperture SDKs and define load management policies on business attributes such as user tier, request type, priority, etc.
Features:
- Global Rate Limiting: Prevent abuse by filtering traffic based on user, service, and tier levels, among other granular options.
- Request Prioritization: Boost application performance by prioritizing critical requests while queueing less urgent ones.
- Serverless Caching: Reduce costs and alleviate system load by caching frequently requested data.
- Manage External Limits: Manage API rate limits from third parties (OpenAI, GitHub, Shopify, etc.) with client-side rate limits and prioritization.
SDKs are available in Typescript, Python, Go, etc. The solution also integrates with API gateways and service meshes with an in-cluster deployment option.
We'd love to hear your feedback!

URL: https://www.joby.ai/
Author: soapsommelier
Description: Job boards suck. I built a tool that scans job postings directly from company career websites (ATS’s like Greenhouse, etc) and intelligently categorizes them based on user-specific preferences with GPT. This way, there are no expired jobs and you can find jobs that are not on linkedin, indeed or any other job search tool. You can filter based on:
* City, Country and remote work preferences
* Years of experience
Salary and currency (where available)
Industry and Role type (engineer, architect, product owner, etc.)
* Visa Sponsorship and more
It’s just a project now, but my goal is that soon we will have all the jobs on the internet. After a few iterations it's finally half decent, and I now exclusively use it for my own job search. Its available for free to everyone: www.joby.ai
Let me know if you have any questions, would love to get your feedback!

18. Show HN: AWS Savings CoPilot to save up to 50%
URL: #
Author: kavehkhorram
Description: Hi HN community,
My name is Kaveh, I'm the founder and CEO of www.usage.ai
I launched on HN last year with the first version of Usage AI, we used Standard RIs and the RI marketplace to give customers the ability to buy 3-year no-upfront RIs which yielded 57% savings with none of the commitment.
In conjunction with AWS, we have since moved to using Convertible Reserved Instances which are the most misunderstood but powerful savings instrument on AWS. As long as you have servers in any of the popular AWS regions, you can achieve up to 50% savings with no code change and the flexibility to scale your workloads up and down using Usage.AI's CRI automation. We blend CRIs with SRIs (that are non-discounted since they can still be traded) and CSPs to maximize a customer's savings rate net of our fees. This is what we call AWS Savings CoPilot.
This has especially helped us assist some of the largest AWS customers with their spend since the volume of RIs can be adjusted up and down in real time at scale.
In addition, for anyone who signs up for Usage.AI Savings CoPilot, we are also including ClearCost, a multi-cloud visibility, budgeting, and anomaly detection tool for AWS, GCP, Azure, Snowflake, Databricks, Datadog, and Kubernetes.
Pricing: You get all of this for a % of what we save you on your AWS bill. Unlike other providers, we do not charge a % of spend.
Are you tasked with managing your AWS bill at your organization? Let me know what you think! You can also reach me directly at kaveh@usage.ai

• Visualization: See trends in your data and identify relationships between metrics.
• Correlations: Learn which metrics correspond most highly with anything you track. Answer questions like "am I more productive on days I wake up earlier?" or "how does spending time outside affect my ability to concentrate?".
• Get started immediately: There is no "signing up" step; just specify what your data looks like and begin recording.
• Extreme privacy: All data storage and analysis are performed locally on your device.
• Extreme flexibility: Reflect lets you construct forms that are specifically tailored to your needs. There are no limitations such as tracking only once per day, or having only a few things to choose from.
• Free importing: Migrate to Reflect and import your CSV data with ease with Reflect's template builder, enabling you to reap the benefits of Reflect's visualizations and insights immediately.
• Free exporting: There is no lock-in with Reflect. You are free to leave at any time; we want the qualities of the app to speak for themselves and serve the parts of you that want quality and control.

32. Show HN: FrequentlyAskedAI – An interactive AI FAQ alternative to chatbots
URL: https://www.infaq.ai/chat/651e9b77b5aa5eb5ff795b45
Author: anyeung
Description: I originally released an interactive resume tool and that went well but I got pulled in another direction by HN. HN really slammed my server on the original thing I built (thanks for the unexpected but useful battle testing, I learned a lot). More importantly some people reached out and said they wanted to use it for their business, not professional networking, which led me down a completely different path for a different tool using similar tech.
Long story short, these businesses:
1) Wanted to know more about what their customers wanted but couldn't necessarily rely on customers reaching out to them 2) Spent more time answering similar questions than they'd like 3) REALLY hated chatbots and didn't want to pay for/train customer service agents yet
I added a bunch of features they asked for like being able to embed my tool on their website, customize the quick questions, and add related links that can route their customers to other URLs.
That last feature request was particularly interesting. Two businesses independently asked for this and they used it to basically make a mini Google search for their complex product (e.g. to direct customers to the right help pages, tutorials, etc).
I have no idea where this project is going to end up yet and it's already turned in a direction I didn't expect. I'd love y'all's thoughts on the latest.
Here's a link to my new home page with more information: https://www.infaq.ai
Forgive me for lack of visual elements and some of the corny marketing text. Many are placeholders and I'm working on it.
Also shout out to the business owner that went out of their way to find me this relevant domain name. We were joking that my tool should actually be called InfrequentlyAskedAI since it actually handles a long tail of questions.

URL: https://citadel5.com/gs-base.htm
Author: jpiech
Description: New features added recently:
[+] The "Text File Input Filters" have been added to enable processing of CSV / text files of any size with any number of rows regardless of the amount of RAM in a computer. Filters can use RegEx patters, the popular relations, ranges and fuzzy filters.
https://citadel5.com/help/gsbase/open_text_file.png
For example, in GS-Base you can load this (publicly available) NYC Yellow Taxis data set: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/elemento/nyc-yellow-taxi-tri...
(1.9GB, ~12.7 million rows) in ~20s on an average/old pc with 8-16GB RAM. The obtained sheet is loaded entirely to RAM and ready to be used for instant ETL actions, column calculations, pivot table calculations, aggregations etc. With the above 12.7 million rows, creating a pivot table with the "trip_distance" as row values and "passenger_count" as column values takes with the same computer setup around 45s.
With input filtering you can process NNN-gigabyte CSV files and bigger. No "cloud" limitations, even for old desktop PCs.
[+] Create tables with file listings from folders and entire disks. Scan and monitor file changes on your disks; find changed files, new files and deleted files. Add and maintain any type of file metadata for each file; search the automatically created history of file changes for each file; search names/paths using regex, search for duplicates, fuzzy searches. Filter full paths, folders, file names, modification dates, access dates file sizes. Examples:

35. Show HN: Custom coloring pages for kids and adults
Author: brobertson
Description: I built colorbliss.art back in September basically so that I could spend less time scrolling on google looking for coloring pages.
A typical scrolling session with my five year old would be:
Him: "Dad, can I have a coloring page"
Me: "Sure, what kind do you want"
Him: "Something with dinosaurs, and maybe spiderman"
Me: "I'm not sure if we're going to find that"
Him: "Just look it up dad"
Me: "Ok...hm, I"m not finding that"
Him: "Just keep scrolling dad"
Me: scrolling, scrolling
Him: "Just keep scrolling dad"
repeat forever
I thought this would be a great use case for AI - creating the actual coloring sheet he wanted. It takes a text prompt (Spiderman at the Eiffel Tower, Skeletons on parade) and makes a coloring page in about 10s or less.
We've had a lot of fun using it together, and so I thought I'd share it here as well.
Would love any feedback!

Here is the brief description: From a single text prompt, craft dynamic worlds (both fictional and real-life, of any kind) filled with interacting NPCs pursuing goals, and control (human-in-the-loop) their behaviour and world state in real-time. Text-to-image to visualise every single step of change in the world's and NPC's state.
My main goal was to check if it's possible to use LLMs (GPT-4 currently) to make characters interact with each other but in the end, it ended up with a neat little app where users can interfere with NPC's (and world) state, guiding the story the way they like, step by step.
Would love to see someone using it!

39. Show HN: Sankofa – Chat with the Browser History
URL: https://github.com/vectara/sankofa
Author: ofermend
Description: Hey Hackernews,
I'm Ofer, head of developer relations at Vectara.
Some of us read a lot of articles on the web, like those on HN, and it seems useful to be able to search the contents of the text we read (using semantic search), or ask questions about it (ChatGPT style).
Sankofa is a new browser extension that allows you to index web pages you visit and search / ask questions about that content. We built it using Vectara's retrieval-augmented-generation (RAG) platform and hope this is useful to folks.
This is an initial release - we would love to hear any feedback and suggestions.
BTW, Sankofa which means "to retrieve" in the Twi language of Ghana.

40. Show HN: Vaux – The last video and audio editing app you'll ever need
URL: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vaux.vaux_editor&hl=en_US
Author: BlackEyedBeans
Description: Hey HN, I recently created Vaux:Video and audio editor to end the cycle of having to copy video and audio files to my computer for simple edits.
Unlike most video editing mobile apps out there that 'force' you to create a project before editing, Vaux loads up with an interface that let's you pick the action you want to perform, allows a few tweeks then exports the edited file. This is also aimed at the casual editor who just wants to perform a single editing task and move on.
The stack: I built Vaux using Flutter and FFMPEG library for the editing tasks. Some of it's features include: -Video FPS Modification -Editing audio metadata -Reversing video and audio -Adding music -Merging, trimming, cutting, muting -Media Speed modification
I'm currently working on localization features to support multiple languages and would really appreciate your thoughts and feedback.
The app is available for both Android and iOS. Links below:

42. Show HN: I built a tool that diagnoses your email deliverability
Author: chrisfrantz
Description: As you may know, Google is rolling out bulk sender guidelines that go into effect Feb 1 (that’s this Thursday)
Your deliverability could be impacted so we made this tool.
Here’s how it works:
1. Send an email to the generated email address 2. Review your results
That’s it. The generated /results page is also accessible publicly so you can share with your team in case you're not the one with permission to add or modify records.
You can view an example of a passed test here: https://bounce.doctor/results/example
We currently check for valid DKIM, DMARC, SPF, List-ID and One-click Unsubscribe. We plan to extend this tool in the future as well but it will remain free and accessible without an account.

43. Show HN: AI recruiter for pre-screening candidates
Author: RichardDL
Description: For the people who don't have time to spend hours looking through CVs and interviewing candidates, we have created a tool that handles the initial pre-screening conversations.
I used to spend hours pre-screening CVs, scheduling interviews and often wasting a lot of time on interviews after rejecting the candidate in my head after 5 minutes.
And sometimes we just have some many applicants that it's not humanly possible to reach all the candidates in time.
Now we have AI to handle the pre-screening chats with the candidates. It's like a mini recruiter, chats with the candidate and creates a report about the candidate.
We have already tested it with more than 2k candidates, so far we get 8.8 out of 10 for the candidate experience.
If anyone has an open position and doesn't want to spend any more time pre-screening candidates - let me know

44. Show HN: Maori – The Game
URL: https://www.maori-game.com/
Author: belgogames
Description: Dear HackerNews fellows,
I've been away from the game dev scene for a while — about a decade, to be exact. Life happened, with all of time demands and responsibilities, but the itch to create never truly fades, does it?
Recently, I decided to that it is about time to change that, so I posed myself a challenge: Build and release a game within 24 hours. Well, it turns out I bit off a tad more than I could chew time-wise, clocking in at 42 hours from concept to the final build. But the end product? I'm proud of it.
Introducing my latest passion project: a casual web game inspired by the rich tradition of Maori masks. It's a simple concept that requires players to arrange masks in a specific order, blending elements of puzzles and memory games. The game is designed to be accessible and engaging whether you’re a kid enjoying the patterns and shapes or an adult tackling the "pro mode" for an extra challenge.
And the best part? It's absolutely free.
I’m genuinely excited for you all to give it a try and I'd be thrilled to hear your thoughts on it. If you like my little project, please pass it along. Your support means the world!
For those who have an interest in the journey behind the product, I've documented the entire development process. I’d be happy to share these behind-the-scenes videos for those being curious.
Have fun exploring, share if you enjoy, and happy puzzling!
See you in the game (and in the comments),
Cheers, Daniel

48. Show HN: AntiPython Colab Compiler,use Google Colab in your preferred language
URL: https://github.com/Fileforma/AntiPython-AI-Compiler-Colab/
Author: muragekibicho
Description: It's a source to source compiler for people interested in AI but don't want to touch Python.
It's a work-in-progress(super-raw proof of concept). Frontend is a JavaScript Chrome extension and backend is a C transpiler. We use the Treesitter C lib to parse syntax trees and the Mongoose C lib to handle websockets.
GitHub repo has a Java demo showing possible import syntax. Some keywords like 'from' and 'as' don't exist in Java. I found some workarounds. Please let me know what you think.
