Ask HN: App to Handle Prior Authorizations?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40954463Prior authorizations to insurance companies for medical care are annoying.The idea is to make a HIPAA-compliant tool to help doctors handle prior authorization submissions and denials from insurance companies. Basically this would be HIPAA-compliant GPT with customizations to draft requests and appeal letters, but it could also pull from recent research studies to build the case for certain authorizations, and track prior authorization submissions.The value proposition is that it would reduce time doctors and staff spend on PA requests and increase approval rates.What does HN think? Would this be worth building?

Ask HN: Do you use AI for writing?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40888574I'm working on a docs site for the AI coding tool I built [1], and I had to turn off GH Copilot for markdown files.As massive as I find the productivity boost from AI tools for coding (> 2x for me conservatively), with current capabilities I find it's a net negative for writing prose, even technical prose.The problem is: I like to think I'm a better writer than an LLM, but writing is hard. Every paragraph, every sentence requires a small shot of mental energy to get right. And what the LLM suggests is never bad. It's always like, "yeah, that could work." And that's the problem. It's good enough to be seductive. To make me want to skip that little bit of effort and auto-complete the sentence, auto-complete the paragraph.But the end result when I do that is missing something. It's grammatically correct and substantively correct. It's fine. But it doesn't grab the reader and pull them through. It's text that remains text and keeps the reader at a distance.The core problem, I guess, is the

Show HN: Quick Calories – Efficient Weight Loss for Software Engineershttps://calories.joeldare.comI faced a sudden career twist recently and I used it as motivation to revisit and improve Quick Calories, an app that helps software engineers quickly track their daily calorie intake.The original idea was born out of my own struggle to find a dieting app that fit my style - something that allowed me to quickly log calories without tedious manual entry. And now, I'm excited to share Quick Calories with HN!What is Quick Calories?- A minimalist app that makes calorie tracking lightning fast.- It keeps a running calorie total and automatically resets daily. Just track your intake and move on with your life.- The math-friendly input lets you perform arithmetic operations on calorie counts, making it easier to log complex meals or snacks.As someone who spends hours staring at screens, I know how hard it is to prioritize health when work-life balance feels like an oxymoron. Quick Calories can be an indispensable tool for a busy software engineer.I'd love to see more software engineers using

Show HN: A web app to track your grocery expenses and nutritionhttps://www.5outapp.com/Hello HN,I've been working on a tool during the weekend to help make cheaper and healthier grocery choices. Currently, it only gives me simple stats on my grocery bill and some general comments on how you can improve your shopping next time. (No signup/email needed.)I believe that healthy food is something cooked in your kitchen, but it also takes a lot of time.So, I started by building an Airbnb-like platform where people can find local cooks (not just experienced chefs) to do meal prep in their homes. After working 9 months on it, I realized it was hard to get people on the platform. So, I thought I should build something people can use for free to create some awareness around it.As usual, I have many features in mind that I would like to implement, but I would love to hear some feedback. I have 3 friends using it regularly, but it might still break. If you care, please try it out, sign up or hit me up on X.Thanks, Aman

Show HN: Auto-generate a custom, developer-first playground for your LLM apphttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40826557Hi everyone -We’re the team at Inductor (https://inductor.ai), where we’re building the tools that developers need to build production-ready LLM apps and product features – far more quickly, easily, and systematically. We’re super-excited to share a new capability that we’ve just built: Custom Playgrounds.We built Custom Playgrounds because it’s important to be able to interactively experiment with an LLM app or product feature as you’re building it, and share your work in order to collaborate – but, today, this is too often cumbersome to do.Custom Playgrounds solve this problem by providing a developer-first way to auto-generate and instantly share a playground running directly against your code and environment, with a single Inductor CLI command: $ pip install inductor $ inductor playground my.module:my_function where “my.module:my_function” is the fully qualified name of a Python function that is the entrypoint to your LLM app. (No modifications to your code required!)Some highlight

Show HN: Kerno.io – Developer-first monitoring that makes sensehttps://www.kerno.io/Hey HN!Anibal, Sean, Vlad, Maxi and Karim here we're the co-founders of Kerno (https://www.kerno.io/).We're building a zero-hassle tool to help developers monitor and troubleshoot their services in a way that makes sense. No complex rollouts, no custom infra, no tons of instrumentation, no sidecars… none of that! Just a minimum effort, out-of-the box, highly contextualized and interactive experience so you and your team can focus on shipping!We basically scan your cluster resources, build usable abstractions on top of all the kubernetes craziness, identify monitor your service interactions and backtrace errors on demand to understand end-user impact and prioritise what to work on. We plug into your code versioning and CI to know who is who and who is working on what to give you back the time wasted in figuring that out (and we know that can take a while sometimes!).We then ping who we think might have introduced the issue, who “owns” those systems, and who owns the systems being impact

Show HN: Jamscape Virtual HQhttps://www.jamscape.com/Hi HN, my name is Jacob and I am the CTO and co-founder of Jamscape. At Jamscape, we believe that a remote working tool that is better than Slack, Zoom and Teams is possible if you take an AI-first approach.My co-founder Rene and I are huge fans of remote work, but having lived it from both the developer and the manager sides, are also aware of its pitfalls, like burnout, loneliness, and massively increased coordination overhead to get anything done. We believe this is due to limitations of the currently available tools, rather than an inherent problem with remote work itself.We founded Jamscape in late 2022 as a bet that RTO mandates would fail, because knowledge workers would want to hold on to all the freedom and flexibility provided by remote work. Apart from the global funding meltdown the timing was just right; we had a highly tuned cross-platform edge-AI tech stack, inherited from my previous startup Vertigo.ai (HN post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31516108 with all the

Show HN: Harry Potter Name Generatorhttps://harrypotternamegenerator.net/Hi everyone,I just built an exciting tool for all the gamers and Harry Potter fans out there—the Harry Potter Name Generator! As a developer and a fan myself, I noticed how challenging it can be to create a name that not only sounds magical but also truly fits into the wizarding world. This inspired me to develop a solution that enhances the gaming experience by providing a seamless way to generate character names that resonate with J.K. Rowling’s universe, especially useful for games like Hogwarts Legacy.The Harry Potter Name Generator is a user-friendly tool designed to help you craft a character that feels right at home in Hogwarts. Simply choose your character's gender, select a Hogwarts house, and enter any specific traits or themes you'd like your character's name to reflect. The generator then works its magic to offer a variety of names that are both unique and fitting, adding a personalized touch to your game character’s identity and enriching your storytelling in the magical w

Show HN: I've shipped my Dutch Speaking Trainer app inspired by Babbelhttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/dutch-speaking-trainer/id6499470406Hi folks!I'm Davit. Living in Netherlands already for 4 years and working as a Software Engineer at Amazon/AWS. Lately I've been trying to pass Dutch Speaking exams, which I've passed successfully. But during that process I needed a tool which could prepare me exactly for the Dutch Speaking Exam, give some feedback and make me overall confident. I didn't want to go to a tutor. So, I decided to implement a mobile app for that (in the process I used Babbel app which inspired my own app).The app contains 200+ unique questions and integrates optional 'ChatGPT' feedback on the given answer (this is optional). Also a predefined verified answer which you can learn from. All the questions are generated by me and the voices are AI voices. I've tried to introduce multiple personalities to make the experience enjoyable.Based on the feedback I've received from my first post I understood that the majority of people wanted an iOS version, so I was working all the past months to ship on iOS and here

Interview Advicehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40258053I've been teaching Mathematical Finance for over a decade and always have students ask for advice on how to be successful when interviewing for a job.There are many sources of interview questions available. These are usually written by people who were unable to answer the questions they were asked when interviewing, and tend to go out of date quickly in our fast-paced world.Here is some general advice that never goes out of date that I wish I had gotten when I was first starting out my career:Be on time. Dress appropriately. Stand up straight. Hold your shoulders back, but be relaxed. Smile, but not too much. Make eye contact, but not too much. Get a good night's sleep before the interview. You have spent years preparing and there is no way to cram the night before. Use search tools to familiarize yourself with the company. Bring paper copies of your resume printed on high quality stock.## While InterviewingEvery employer wants to hire smart people who can get along with other people i

Show HN: Search HN for interesting comment sectionshttps://www.searchhacker.newsI built this tool to help me find interesting discussions on Hacker News. I love reading HN discussions almost more than the articles themselves. However, I found that full text search, although highly performant, is not always good at surfacing interesting discussions on a certain topic -- especially if you don't know what to search for exactly.I built this by scraping the most recent ~6 million posts (that's about 2 years of history) and putting the resulting posts and their vector embeddings into Postgres.Let me know what could be improved, and if you'd like a more detailed writeup of how this was built :)

From Bugs to Brilliance: Revolutionizing Code Analytics with A.Ihttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40040384As software development races forward, the journey from code creation to production can often feel like navigating a minefield. With each line of code carrying the potential for bugs and errors, development teams face a daunting challenge in ensuring the reliability and stability of their software. Yet, despite the availability of sophisticated code analytics tools designed to mitigate these risks, many teams continue to grapple with the issue of low adoption. What lies at the heart of this reluctance, and how can we bridge the gap between intention and action?One of the primary reasons for the low adoption of code analytics tools lies in the prevalence of false positives – instances where the tool incorrectly flags code snippets as problematic or buggy when, in reality, they are perfectly functional. This phenomenon can lead to frustration and distrust among developers, who may disregard or overlook the tool's findings altogether.Moreover, the complexity and learning curve associated
