Revolutionizing Outreach: From Rejection to Triumph with Sarah AIhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38894077A few months back, my friend Alessandro and I, Andrea, embarked on a side project named SplenderAI, delving into AI and automation consultancy for local businesses. After continuous outreach to many of them in our area, our initial excitement was met with rejection – a typical part of the entrepreneurial journey.Upon reflecting on our outreach approach, we started investigating online tools for outreach automation (since we found it an extremely laborious process) but found them lacking. Drag-and-drop solutions requiring intricate setups or even the having to define “outreach sequences” didn't align with our vision, so we decided to build an AI tool for internal use to help us get clients.Through conversations with fellow entrepreneurs and contacts from hackathons, we discovered a shared dissatisfaction with existing solutions. This realization prompted us to pivot SplenderAI into developing scalable solutions and to commercialize our internal tool as Sarah AI, a fully autonomous salesJan 6, 2024 6:52 PM

Ask HN: What is your experience of tamper proof systems?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38878579A theme in the Post Office (Horizon) scandal is that Fujitsu could amend completed till records after the fact.From hard copy printouts (receipt rolls?) to cryptography (blockchains), there are technical means to repudiate and reduce risk of amendment.I'm curious what experiences we've had with them and which ones we should using in retail systems?I'm also curious how if a privileged user did amend a database, even with an audit log of changes; whether it is likely that a user (lawyer, accountant, manager) would also be alerted to that in their interface.In paper based accounting, I believe event logs weren't really a thing. The users (accountants) knew the audit history from the records themselves and hopefully today still do: - transaction records was having records for each stage (order, invoice, payment advice, sales receipt, journal entry, credit note, etc) - completeness of records was numbered books, pages, lines - irreversible records was ink pen and stamps - verifiable was entJan 5, 2024 12:54 PM

Tell HN: what the world needs now is an X-cookie-preference headerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38873935Original title:Tell HN: User agent should define a setting that signals cookie preferenceDealing with constant cookie consent pop-ups is undeniably annoying. It’s excessive to have to select cookie preferences on every website, as it’s hardly a critical part of my day. This isn’t about assigning blame to a single party, as it’s more about the overall inconvenient state of things.A possible solution could be integrating a setting in our browsers for cookie preferences, synced across accounts. This setting would default to essential cookies only, with the option to customize preferences for individual websites. Implementing this feature could involve adding a property in the browser’s navigator object or sending an HTTP header to indicate cookie preferences. This approach seems practical and should be encouraged, potentially even mandated through regulations, to streamline user experience and eliminate the constant, intrusive pop-ups that disrupt browsing, especially on mobile devices.

A vectorized Search Visualizer written with NumPyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38837699Hey Y Combinator community,Last semester, I delved into a Data Structures and Algorithms course with a hunger for visualizing complex algorithms and data structures.While I found some success using [grid-based search visualizers](https://i.imgur.com/4jQwRHu.png), my desire for a versatile graph search visualizer persisted.So, I decided to create one. Now, it not only supports generic graph search visualization but also tackles challenges like the traveling salesman problem and various other graph-based algorithms.The API is straightforward. The `graphViz` module provides granular access at the node and edge levels within a given `Graph` object, allowing you to dynamically alter colors while running your graph-based algorithm.For a more in-depth understanding, I've put together:- [A detailed walkthrough of recent updates](https://youtu.be/BKF-PEgd1PA) - [A concise overview of the initial version](https://youtu.be/kNGsOoWh9fM)I'd love for you to check out the [GitHub Repo](https://githubJan 2, 2024 3:20 AM
