I dont use the code directly actually. It is just for me to understand how the app looks like initially as a starting point. Previously I have used stitch by google, and even then, it was just to explore product design in the initial stages. Just to ground myself, and see how the product looks end to end. Also mostly I will be doing them in react, so the html code isn't very useful. I would rather share the screenshot directly rather than the html code during development.

I actually find, claude models to have superior visual reasoning, in their multi modal llms, im not talking about image generation LLMs. so I just share the picture, to let it undersand the layout and go from there, and just iterate until I like the final look of it.

Have any of you tried their support bot? Its insane bleeding edge AI company gets away with such experience. The bot decides the issue is solved and closes the ticket. WTFFF.

similar to claude code, they need to revolutionise customer support. Maybe from a ticket, if the agent decides if its real bug, and legitimate, it will go on and fix it.

thanks for letting me know this exists for claude designs as well.

yeah.. anyway it will be my coding agent that will be reading these. and if needed, it can show me what they look like.

in the ideal world, I know all these things should be in place, but I was not sure, they had the bandwidth to implement all these before releasing these things into the wild. but i will use it to download my sessions.

as a dev, building the product is the fun part, implementing entitlements, payment gateway, rate limiting, usage calculation, billing, gdpr stuff, account creation, deletion, export, these are the boring parts. so I wasn't sure they would have implemented this part.

Thank you so much for your suggestion regarding UI design. As my main expertise is not this, I need some tool to depend on to ground my projects somehow. Even though stitch by google and claude design are not perfect, they give me some starting point. And then, after building the actual working project, will iterate until I like the look of it. This is how I'm using these right now. I can't even itearte on these design LLM's now, their own UX is very clunky and not very friendly, or its made more for the design folks.

But I will give GPT-Image-2 a try. Actually few months back I remember doing this UX/UI research on the chat gpt app itself, just asking it to generate what a certain app might look like and etc.

Please let me know your UI design tool. I'm want to try it out.

hi thanks for checking NIMBUS out.

i mainly wanted a single central place for giving my intent no matter what it is. this is the central ux principle I used while building NIMBUS. and also why it isnt a chrome extension or an afterthought addition to current browser forks. wanted to see what agent native ui for a browser would look like. i dont think many agent browsers are doing this right now.

i just did alpha launch, so its too early to say, how users are using it. but it is in a state where i myself can actively dog food it.

i also dont consider this browser automation at all, its just the way browsers should be. giving the user the freedom to think about the task at hand and not worry about tab switching, different implementations of different websites. and at the same time give enough visibility into what the agent is doing.

Other things in the box:

  - Ask-user tool. When the agent hits a judgment call (cost
    confirmation, ambiguous field, a captcha), it pauses and asks you
    in the chat, not in a page overlay. You answer, it resumes.
    I'm really obsessed with the ask user tool on Claude Code, 
    and obviously I implemented it here also.
  - Use oracle to plan complex tasks, take its help when stuck, and also to 
    create skills
  - Sessions. Each task is its own session with its own tab(s) and
    history. Switch between them and let the tasks run in the background.
  - Bring your own key. Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, or any
    OpenAI-compatible endpoint. No server of mine in the loop.
  - Skills. Teach it or let it figure out a reusable flow and save it as 
    skill to reuse it.
  - Auth handoff. When a login popup opens, the agent blocks, you
    complete the auth, the agent picks back up. I purposefully didn't automate
    things like auth/captcha, as the expectation of the current websites'
    implementations isn't automation.
  - Everything local. Traces of every run go to ~/.nimbus/traces/.
    No telemetry, YET. Nothing reaches my servers, you just contact the LLM 
    providers directly.

Every EC2 instance has this thing called tags. Tags are just a list key value pairs u can give to most aws things. Usually the most common tag is name tag. Go to your EC2 console, just give ur instances a name.

In the launch wizard when u re launching a new instance, it gives u an option to set tags, just type in "Name" for key and "my instance" for value. U can either do that. Or after launching when it lists all ur instances u can just give ur instance a name in the first column

No way rank around 500 gives you CS in those colleges. Mine is 595 and did electrical engineering in Kharagpur. Electrical engineering is after CS and EC. Basically Your rank decides what institute and what branch you will be graduating in. Even though Kharagpur is on par with the institutes you mentioned, people don't prefer it as it's not in a metro City.

Just read a twitter thread about how American culture is negative about everything. https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/981341257124397056

And then I found comments on this. Most of them are very cynical.

These are guys who want to give money with no strings attached and its so hard for everyone to even believe something like this is even possible.

I'm more interested in reading thoughts of people who were previously part of aigrant.

Please don't get discouraged, there are several people like me for whom the money and the other credits are very valuable. These are definitely not nothing. Even though you can get cloud credits in other ways, they are not that straight forward. From what I see they are offering, everything is valuable.

"I was accepted by YC when I was an uncredentialed 18 year old. It changed my life. I’ve since been fascinated by systems that find promising outsiders and bring them into the fold. YC does a great job at this for companies. I’m wondering if it would be useful to do it for research ideas as well."

What I would like to know is, from the previous batches, how many do you guys think that fit this category.

I applied last time, but I don't know if I would apply now, mostly time constraints.

$2 for you monthly is cheap. but not for people being targeted by facebook.

People don't even recharge their phones so that they can do voice calls. people like farmers who buys some low end feature phone but wont top up so that they can call others, instead they just load some songs in their low end phones and chill sleeping in their farms. Similarly I can see people who buy phones but wont topup their internet monthly thinking there is no use or not worth it.

facebook wanting to provide free internet for people already having smart phones or internet enabled phones is not without basis..

I got my uncle a smartphone.. he fills data once in some 3-4 months.. and pings me in whatsapp.. hi hello tata bye bye see you.. and does the same thing after 3-4 months.

These are all anecdotal experiences.. but I also would like to see some related stats..

I have a request, poker texas holdem please :P

Two player.. for now..

All I have for a simple poker game, that I can play is a flash game written 9 years back..? http://www.geewa.com/poker-texas-hold-em

all others are desktop apps with registration and things like that..

I was soo excited when I found your link and saw several games, only to realize there is no poker :(

Thank you..

Whatsapp Web 12 years ago

Really.. I use a dumb feature phone and the only thing I want in is whatsapp..

Thought of signing in once with a smart phone and using it forever and continue using my dumb phone..

Is Quickr any good? From my experience, craiglist india is full of spam.. Every board is filled with men trying to hook you up with prostitutes.. No matter what board it is..

What are other similar companies? I came across some few days/months back. But I just cant find it anymore, I think it concentrates more on ecommerce websites like amazon, flipcart etc., they too are b2b that provide them with services like identifying potential customers from all data they obtain.. Something like that.
