i mainly wanted a single central place for
giving my intent no matter what it is. this is the central ux principle I used while building NIMBUS. and also why it isnt a chrome extension or an afterthought addition to current browser forks. wanted to see what agent native ui for a browser would look like. i dont think many agent browsers are doing this right now.
i just did alpha launch, so its too early to say, how users are using it. but it is in a state where i myself can actively dog food it.
i also dont consider this browser automation at all, its just the way browsers should be. giving the user the freedom to think about the task at hand and not worry about tab switching, different implementations of different websites. and at the same time give enough visibility into what the agent is doing.
- Ask-user tool. When the agent hits a judgment call (cost
confirmation, ambiguous field, a captcha), it pauses and asks you
in the chat, not in a page overlay. You answer, it resumes.
I'm really obsessed with the ask user tool on Claude Code,
and obviously I implemented it here also.
- Use oracle to plan complex tasks, take its help when stuck, and also to
create skills
- Sessions. Each task is its own session with its own tab(s) and
history. Switch between them and let the tasks run in the background.
- Bring your own key. Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, or any
OpenAI-compatible endpoint. No server of mine in the loop.
- Skills. Teach it or let it figure out a reusable flow and save it as
skill to reuse it.
- Auth handoff. When a login popup opens, the agent blocks, you
complete the auth, the agent picks back up. I purposefully didn't automate
things like auth/captcha, as the expectation of the current websites'
implementations isn't automation.
- Everything local. Traces of every run go to ~/.nimbus/traces/.
No telemetry, YET. Nothing reaches my servers, you just contact the LLM
providers directly.
I believe this is a notarized version of the app just 2-3 commits behind. And I'm away from my main dev machine and just have this link. I hope it works for u.
Oh no buggg.. can u add the tag Name as key and whatever it's named as its value on the aws console for all the instances. I'm so mad that I'm away from my computer rn.
Oh no buggg.. can u add the tag "Name" as key and whatever it's named as its value on the aws console for all the instances. I'm so mad that I'm away from my computer rn.
Sure, let me try. The app now crashes upon log in. I need to remove it completely with 3rd party app like app zapper to remove all the configs before I can try again.
Every EC2 instance has this thing called tags. Tags are just a list key value pairs u can give to most aws things. Usually the most common tag is name tag. Go to your EC2 console, just give ur instances a name.
In the launch wizard when u re launching a new instance, it gives u an option to set tags, just type in "Name" for key and "my instance" for value. U can either do that. Or after launching when it lists all ur instances u can just give ur instance a name in the first column
No way rank around 500 gives you CS in those colleges. Mine is 595 and did electrical engineering in Kharagpur. Electrical engineering is after CS and EC. Basically Your rank decides what institute and what branch you will be graduating in. Even though Kharagpur is on par with the institutes you mentioned, people don't prefer it as it's not in a metro City.
And then I found comments on this. Most of them are very cynical.
These are guys who want to give money with no strings attached and its so hard for everyone to even believe something like this is even possible.
I'm more interested in reading thoughts of people who were previously part of aigrant.
Please don't get discouraged, there are several people like me for whom the money and the other credits are very valuable. These are definitely not nothing. Even though you can get cloud credits in other ways, they are not that straight forward. From what I see they are offering, everything is valuable.
"I was accepted by YC when I was an uncredentialed 18 year old. It changed my life. I’ve since been fascinated by systems that find promising outsiders and bring them into the fold. YC does a great job at this for companies. I’m wondering if it would be useful to do it for research ideas as well."
What I would like to know is, from the previous batches, how many do you guys think that fit this category.
I applied last time, but I don't know if I would apply now, mostly time constraints.
Funny thing is Eric recommending AWS for HC's campaign.
"The computers will be in the cloud and most likely on Amazon Web services
(AWS). All the campaign needs are portable computers, tablets and smart
phones along with credit card readers."
$2 for you monthly is cheap. but not for people being targeted by facebook.
People don't even recharge their phones so that they can do voice calls. people like farmers who buys some low end feature phone but wont top up so that they can call others, instead they just load some songs in their low end phones and chill sleeping in their farms. Similarly I can see people who buy phones but wont topup their internet monthly thinking there is no use or not worth it.
facebook wanting to provide free internet for people already having smart phones or internet enabled phones is not without basis..
I got my uncle a smartphone.. he fills data once in some 3-4 months.. and pings me in whatsapp.. hi hello tata bye bye see you.. and does the same thing after 3-4 months.
These are all anecdotal experiences.. but I also would like to see some related stats..
Net neutrality applies when your network provider holds destinations hostage. It doesn't apply when the destination volunteers to pay for your connectivity.
You accidentally approached the net neutrality mindset from an utility maximizing point of view.
A central premise of its advocats is that net neutrality is a value on its own. (More like a natural right.) Therefore, utility arguments that might favor a position in disagreement with netneutrality don't apply simply on a value basis.
That's probably the reason you got downvoted.
edit: There do exist a lot of utility arguments in favor of net neutrality. But most advocats use them as parallel constructs for their deeper reason of believe. A simple emotional test one could exercise: If you can not construct a case in which the violation of net neutrality could lead to a greater overall benefit, your position is probably more a believe than a result of rational consideration.
