    I am a full stack developer 10+ years, project manager and a health Informatician 5+ years . Interested in working in digital health startup.

    I have worked in multiple countries for different organizations in developing and implementing digital health projects

  2. But it's very interesting that ChatGPT can generate with transparent backgrounds where Gemini continues to fails despite being considered as a better image generation model.

    The removing background manually not the best approach because it leaves some rough edges and not as smooth as as generating an image with transparent background

  3. No it was not like that. I assumed it was AI that was my interpretation as a human. And it was kind of a test to see what AI would say about the content.
  4. I had a similar experience. We were talking about a colleague for using ChatGPT in our WhatsApp group chat to sound smart and coming up with interesting points. The talk sounds so mechanical and sounds exactly as ChatGPT.

    His responses in Zoom Calls were the same mechanical and sounds like AI generated. I even checked one of his responses in WhatsApp if it's AI by asking the Meta AI whether it's AI written, and Meta AI also agreed that it's AI written and gave points to why it believes this message was AI written.

    When I showed the response to the colleague he swore that he was not using ant AI to write his responses. I believe after he said to me it was not AI written. And now reading this I can imagine that it's not an isolated experience.

  5. I guess we could write a whole thread on incompetent managers, I used to work with a manager who's only talent is rephrasing something someone else said in a more serious way, or just telling something in a whole list of buzzwords that make him look he's talking something serious. In-fact when it can be summarized in few simple few words. Apart from that he had zero technical knowledge, and I still wonder how he came to that position
  6. I know some talented coders who were doing quite well before. Now they fallen into vibe coding and when I come across a bug they just introduced and I can’t seem to find the source they reply they have no idea but will have a look.

    The decline in the skills are clearly visible. And they’ve only vibe coded under a year.

  7. Working on an editor to write CQL (Clinical Quality Language)

    Anyone writing FHIR / Clinical Quality Language queries would love to give access and get some feedback.

    Feel free to reach out

  8. Traveling in Italy and the domain is blocked with a warning it’s serving adult content
  9. Something that my medical professor used to tell us was that sugar and salt are man made things (processed sugar). And not something we found in nature and something that our bodies are not evolutionary developed to handle. So too much of salt and sugar was a good thing.

    So which makes sense

  10. An editor for Clinical Quality Language (CQL) with syntax highlighting and parsing.

    Repo: https://github.com/rukshn/cquill

    Demo: https://rukshn.github.io/cquill/

  11. I was also having some frustration in navigating GitHub issues.

    So I wrote a simple app for fun to navigate and search GitHub issues like emails and even reply

  12. Alternative link to the presentation from a post on LinkedIn:

  13. What's your idea about the new .app or .dev .tech or other tech specific domain names?

    Would you still go for the .com? Because I feel all the .com domains are currently taken or parked by someone out there

  14. Yes the first thing that came to my mind when I read the article is Tay.

    And we have come back full circle

  15. True the origin does not matter, but it would be better to have more transparency about the contributors even if it's an open source tool. Because you can still get injected with a malicious code when an update is pushed.

    But I agree we should not categorize according to geolocation, but more transparency would be better irrespective of the location in any project.

  16. I also installed it on my computer to give it a try, but then as you mentioned I could not find who are behind it other than it's based in China. So decided to just keep with Obsidian
  17. I was also thinking about FHIR and SMART guidelines.

    But the whole system is mess. And the whole SMART guideline system is controlled by 2-3 gatekeepers who don’t listen to any ideas other than their own

  18. Reading: Before the coffee gets cold book series

    Learning: GoLang

    Working on: Making HiCafe.co more stable and building an image generator

    Happy holidays

  19. But the question that I wonder is, why even cross platform, online search tools, which search your google drive, one drive, dropbox and show results in one place, even tend to fail,

    I have seen few startups even YC backed that didn't make it, I wonder why it's such a hard barrier to entry, even being a common problem everywhere

  20. It would be great if you can share your journey, and why you think it failed? And how you would do it differently if you start today?

    Also this is not the first time I'm seeing a universal search startups fail, some even YC backed. It sounds like an interesting idea, but why is it failing, I can't seem to figure out, maybe not enough market or adaptation?

  21. The initial PH was more like the SHOW HN, turned into a website, filled with people who are geuninly buidlding things and showing things.

    Then marketers came, and the whole thing became a place where people just game, where people that I were preparing for weeks for PH launch, sending reminders for people to vote and try to get to the top. It became a place where people wanted to sell you something rather than people who share what they build.

    Looking at this website, I feel like it's already a place where it's more about selling, and not a PH alternative. Black Friday deals, promoted items, it may not be a place of gamification, but still it's more about selling.

    I would love to se a place where there is old PH. But I guess it will forever be Show HN
