Show HN: I created a finance app that lets you track debts and savings privatelyhttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/downpay-track-debt-savings/id6474574024Hi Hacker News!My first iphone app is a simple personal finance utility. The interface lets you plug in the debts and savings goals you have, and the UI displays a dashboard to monitor those debts and savings.Screenshots & UI: https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSProgramming/s/JfJjruelgRApp Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/downpay-track-debt-savings/id6...My goal was to make the app easy to use but at the same time detailed and customizable. You can achieve the same results with a spreadsheet but I wanted to build something fun to use right from your phone.There’s no backend, no user auth, or any dependencies on a server. This is purely a utility and all data is 100% private :) It is only saved locally on device and in iCloud.User privacy and convenience is my #1 priority with this app. No data is collected, not even analytics :o If you run into a bug or crash, please submit a bug :)Features: 1. Debt Manager: - Manage 14 types of debt in one place, including credit cards, student loansSep 6, 2024 1:09 PM

Who can use itYou have some idea and you like not to think about your objects storage at all but to have the following goodies: whenever you change something it's on the disk persisted for the next run. when something crashes, the last valid state is on disk on a readable Json file with the changes stored, The objects you manipulate are directly stored on FS. And you do nothing in the code about all of the above. ComparisonThere are multiple projects that store obAug 29, 2024 10:10 PM

Ask HN: Browser-UI with multi-LLM for the team?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41360271I'm looking to provide our 4-person team access to various LLMs, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta's Llama, and some others.I want to have browser-based UI (like ChatGPT) to upload files, get Markdown-reponses and have price control to avoid unexpected high costs at the end of the month. My current plan is to purchase API keys from different LLM providers and use LiteLLM as a proxy to setup cost limits OR to use OpenRouter.ai (potentially still using LiteLLM).LibreChat currently doesn't support "passing through" uploads, but this feature is expected to be implemented this week: https://github.com/danny-avila/LibreChat/discussions/3760#discussioncomment-10445600My Questions:1. Is my approach using LiteLLM or OpenRouter with a UI a viable solution? I believe this could be more cost-effective than purchasing monthly chat accounts for each of the four users.2. Are there other UIs similar to ChatGPT and Anthropic's interfaces, for the case that the new LibreChat attachment feature is too inAug 26, 2024 6:39 PM

Show HN: Coffee Beans Tracker with OCR Inventory Management on GPThttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41359100I brew coffee and I buy a lot of beans. I’m also a lazy person that doesn’t want to type in all the details in one of the available apps and track things to the grams.Luckily I found out that GPT-4o (free tier) is good enough to take a few photos I uploaded of a bag and parse it’s roaster, varietal, origin, tasting notes, roast date, etc. I tried with a dozen different bags and it works pretty well - even when it makes mistakes I can correct them with natural language conversation, which I enjoyed.Then I had to figure out storage. I don’t want to rely on the chat history / context as a way to store info as that can easily get lost. I discovered GPT Actions. My immediate thought is to give GPT some access of an online scratchpad that it can read and write and call it a day. That’s how I ended up integrating it with GitHub Gist. I created an empty gist file, and generated an app access token that reads/writes gist files. I hardcoded this token to GPT Actions, (struggled quite a bit on teAug 26, 2024 4:52 PM

Is that the central shortcoming in binary floating-point math?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41330394Hi, I'm struggeling with bin-FP imprecision ( think not the first one who does ), and think to have identified one central weakness.IEEE 754 standard delivers consistent arithmetic for a wide range of 'english plumber metrics' ( imperial system of measurement, halves, quarters, eights, sixteenths and so on ). Up to where it runs out of bits and switches into rounding.Alas decimal fractions are encoded in a way that most of them fall in that weak category, and operation results often need additional fit-in rounding.Rounded results aren't qualified for associativity and distributivity, the math with them is 'broken', is not qualified arithmetic from mathematical POV.In consequence the problems for calculations with decimal fractions are not limited to extreme cases or peripheral areas, but occur freely scattered even in the simplest calculations. ( 2 times 64 bit fail to add 0.2 and 0.1 correctly, embarrassing )Alas plenty of programs / users try substituting decimal fraction math with bAug 23, 2024 4:30 PM
