Company claims 1k% price hike drove it from VMware to open source rival
Ask HN: How to build an AI to find info I care about online?
I want to build an AI agent that lets me define what information interests me, such as "the hottest design trend discussions on Reddit" or "who's looking for a remote designer collaboration." This AI agent would automatically browse various forums and news sites daily, dig up information, and only push the most relevant stuff to me. I'd like to ask everyone:
1. Besides web scraping and large language models, do I need any other technologies?
2. Besides writing a dedicated scraper for each website, is there a simpler technology available?
3. I plan to have every piece of information analyzed by a large language model to see if it meets my criteria, but it feels like it consumes a lot of tokens. Is there a more cost-effective way?
4. Is my technical approach completely wrong? Is there an easier way?

The Ghost of Kowloon Walled City: Exploring Its History and Demolition
Is image background removal a solved problem?
I’m a software developer and have recently launched a PC based automatic background remover that uses the same deep learning AI techniques as the various online services.
The value proposition is that it comes with a low cost lifetime license and works offline on low spec hardware (Celeron with 2GB RAM.)
However, I’ve noticed a proliferation in background removal tools in the last year, albeit mostly online services with limitations. Mac OS has native functionality builtin and the latest Windows 11 photo app can do it (although presumably you would need to match the hardware requirements to run Windows 11 itself).
Would you consider such an application useful? It does seem that the currently available offline desktop apps still come at a premium. I’m giving away a 50% discount coupon to anyone interested in trying it out.
