Redmond outlines 'aspirational' goals for model behavior, but gives itself a pass if it gets things wrong
I've been playing with this idea to build an estimation of chess cheating likelihood from an exported chess game (PGN format). The main thing I've developed so far is a way of estimating the complexity of each position. The intuition is that matching an engine's top moves in difficult positions is much more informative than doing so when there's an obvious best move. The detector currently combines complexity with engine agreement and centipawn loss to make a prediction. I'd like to move beyond the heuristics and train an ML model on a decent dataset of known cheating/non-cheating games. Ther…

Hi HN, I've been using Claude Code, Codex and Cursor quite a bit lately, and I found myself checking their usage limits all the time. Most of the tools I found for this live on the desktop or in the menu bar. What I really wanted was to pull out my phone and see how much I had left, especially when I'm away from my computer. I ended up building Nowdex for this. The main thing is the iPhone widget. It shows your current usage and reset time directly on the Home Screen or Lock Screen. Right now it supports Claude, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Kimi and GLM. There is no account thing. The app doesn't sen…

Hey guys, I dunno about you but if you have a business and use QuickBooks, the normal API access is pretty cumbersome. So we built a direct SQL layer to a simple model of the ledger. It's nice to have easy fast programmatic access to your books for building internal apps and stuff, not to mention giving agents access. (Agents are really good at SQL, read-only of course.) Along the way, this made us wonder: when does an app or service really need a custom API at all, rather than just exposing data as SQL, which is sorta the lingua franca of data querying. Will more services do this in the futu…
