New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: How are you using GenAI/LLMs?

Ask HN: How are you using GenAI/LLMs? 8 by HNUser01100011 | 7 comments on Hacker News. Good morning/afternoon/evening. I figured this would be an appropriate place to ask due to the demographic and wide ranging roles and responsibilities of the users. So if you're using LLMs or indeed some other Gen AI tool; What specific LLM are you using and for what reason? What are you using it for? Are you using it in a professional or personal capacity? What does your workflow look like? Personally I've only used them for simple code snippets, basic research, summarization and image generation. They each have their own pros and cons[1] but more often than not I find myself either double checking sources or tweaking the end results most of them and only saving maybe 5-10 minutes. [1] The most amusing of which is Gemini, it won't link to any political parties website but will happily help you plan a terrorist attack under the guise of vulnerability analyses and risk management...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: I made a site that lets you make interactive demos for free

Show HN: I made a site that lets you make interactive demos for free 12 by benfir123 | 2 comments on Hacker News. I recently built Demopond which lets you make interactive demos of your web app for free. The idea is that it will help startups get more signups by giving landing page visitors that “aha” moment right away (replaces static images). It can also be sent as marketing collateral to leads to give them a preview of how your service will solve their problem. This is the tech stack I used in case anyone is interested: Frontend: React, Tailwind UI, Netlify Backend: Django, Postgres (RDS), Stripe DevOps: CircleCI, EC2 Storage/CDN: S3, CloudFront Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Let me know if you would find this useful or if there are any other use cases you might have.
