   Love the Google Docs plugin

   Grammarly is the most useful to me for its Google Docs feature that supports me as I create new content. Unfortunately, they seem to provide more context and insights when I am sending an email rather than writing an entire document.

   I love this tool because it helps me to understand what's wrong with my writing

   I would highly recommend Grammarly for proofreading. It does a great job of catching a lot of grammar mistakes that other programs miss. You will need to be able to train it to recognise your specific writing style, but once you do it will do a better job than any human proofreader. Grammarly's ability to detect and correct grammar errors and usage issues across multiple documents is really quite impressive. I am currently using it to check over articles before submitting them to various platforms. As a copywriter and writer, it has been a godsend.

• Prestige-Blinded Questbridge Asian With Barebones Application Learns to Dispel His Myopia (but somehow lucks out)

  I did not have anyone read over my essays. I regret that now, knowing that my application would have cried out for joy if only there were a reader other than grammarly.com and my drowsy midnight self. I also wrote my essay a day before the Questbridge deadline (I think the deadline was Sept 27th?), which is a terrible, TERRIBLE idea. Please do not do things last minute :D.

• Show HN: Hacker Search – A semantic search engine for Hacker News

  Thanks for the feedback! One big distinction with the "site:https://news.ycombinator.com" hack is that the search on Hacker Search directly runs against the underlying link's contents, rather than whatever happens to be on HN. We also more directly leverage HN's curation by factoring in scores. Appreciate your suggestions; will look into building those! - Source: Hacker News / 23 days ago

• Show HN: Hacker Search – A semantic search engine for Hacker News

  Nice work! I'm sure you know that you can also search Google with site:https://news.ycombinator.com. If I were you I would probably think of a niche where one can get better results by searching HN and other relevant data sources. Another suggestion is not about the search so much but about the UI. One of the worse things about sites like HN is that it's really hard to... - Source: Hacker News / 23 days ago

• I want to create IMDB for Open source projects

  I'm not sure how much value making something "not fugly" really matters. Design should be based on functionality, not anti-fugliness. In my experience, design considerations should come after building a successful growth "feedback loop." (Or whatever you want to call it.) At that point, you may decide making your website look "polished" isn't even necessary. IMDB was certainly quite ugly for a long time.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Ask HN: What is the ideal format to structure AI prompts?

  User input does not need to be sanitized if it is programmatically inserted into the document as the value of a key in a regular dict section. To work, I assume the target model needs to be trained on Braq documents with emphasis on the fact that only the top unnamed section contains root instructions (equivalent to the "system" role in ChatML).
