Tell HN: Enterprises spend 10x more to build no-code solutions than coded ones 70 by nancyp | 36 comments Code less sounds great for toy projects. People who aren't in tech aren't building no colde solutions beyond basic excel ones. So they end up hiring consultants to build them for them which costs at least 3-10x more if the solution were to be made with code. Ms powerapps for an example needs connector license for many basic things that costs a lot as well. This is from my experience as a consultant in many enterprises over last 3yrs watching code less explode in front my eyes. on Hacker News. Code less sounds great for toy projects.

Show HN: Use ChatGPT with Apple Shortcuts 5 by zdaniel16 | 2 comments This project was born from my passion for every Apple product and the entire ecosystem, along with the power of ChatGPT. I was tired of copy-pasting and switching between apps on my Mac or iPhone, so I had this crazy idea to bring ChatGPT into every app that I use. This was possible only with the Apple Shortcuts app. Very few people know about its power and potential, so I took this chance and built COPILOT. https://meetcopilot.app But I also loved the idea of AI agents using various tools so much that I leveraged OpenAI's function-calling feature to accomplish that. Now, no matter what app I am using on my iPhone or Mac, the selected text or the current webpage from Safari will be passed automatically to COPILOT. Then I just ask it whatever I need and watch until it reaches the goal autonomously. There was also another problem with ChatGPT - the knowledge cutoff. So I also integrated Google search and web scrap...

Show HN: Hydra - Open-Source Columnar Postgres 27 by coatue | 2 comments hi hn, hydra ceo here hydra is an open-source extension that adds columnar tables to Postgres for efficient analytical reporting. With Hydra, you can analyze billions of rows instantly without changing code. demo video (5 min): https://youtu.be/1yzxgb0Oyrw github repo: https://github.com/hydradatabase/hydra For 1.0 GA release, aggregate queries are over *60% faster* than Hydra beta due to aggregate vectorization. Spatial indexes (gin, gist, spgist, and rum indexes) and pg_hint_plan are now enabled for performance optimization. postgres is great, but aggregates can take minutes to hours to return results on large data sets. long-running analytical queries hog database resources and degrade performance. use hydra to run much faster analytics on postgres without changing code. for testing, try the hydra free tier to create a column postgres instance on the cloud. https://dashboard.hydra.so/signup on Hacker News. h...

Show HN: Modular Diffusion – A modular Python library for diffusion models 6 by secularchapel | 0 comments Hello everyone! I've been working on this project for a few months as part of my thesis in Machine Learning. It's meant to be a library that provides an easy-to-use but flexible API to design and train Diffusion Models. I decided to make it because I wanted to quickly prototype a Diffusion Model but there were no good tools to do it with. I think it really can help people prototype their own Diffusion Models a lot faster and only in a few lines of code. The base idea is to have a Model class that takes different modules corresponding to the different aspects of the Diffusion Model process (noise schedule, noise type, denoising network, loss function, guidance, etc.) and allow the user to mix and match different modules to achieve different results. The library ships with a bunch of prebuilt modules and the plan is to add many more. I also made it super easy to implement y...
