Show HN: AutoHotkey for Linux 155 by phil294 | 61 comments on Hacker News. Hello HN, this is the first functional reimplementation of AutoHotkey [1] for Unix-like systems, as far as I am aware. Half the commands are still missing, but everything important is done, as I have worked a lot on it over the past two months. Converting scripts into stand alone binaries is also supported. Hope this will find some adoption eventually. :-) - This implementation focuses on v1.0-like classic syntax from 2004 (!). This is a significant subset of the popular current v1.1 syntax from Windows (AHK_L). The reason this does not (yet?) target the full Windows spec is how complex it is. Notably, there's also another ongoing project which targets v2 called KeySharp [2]. If you are not aware of what AHK is, it is an easy but capable scripting language for automation and Hotkeys, and all sorts of visual things like GUIs. If you want to learn more, there plenty of info on the repo, the docs html, and t

Ask HN: Why hasn't the ACH system been more abused? 42 by gernb | 67 comments on Hacker News. IIUC, the ACH system https://ift.tt/ykAKZQc Is utterly insecure. Anyone with your routing number and account number, 2 numbers printed on every check, can ask your bank for all of your money and the bank will not confirm anything with you. My first experience with this was Apple's credit card that can only be paid via ACH and I was shocked when I typed in my info into the apple wallet app and then it took my money without the bank confirming anything with me. Why hasn't this been more of a problem? Are their mitigations? These numbers can be stolen from data breaches even easier than passwords as they won't be salted and hashed, they'll be the actual numbers right? The entire payment regime in the USA seems to be switching over to ACH. Should I be worried?

Ask HN: Should grapefruit juice have warning labels for medicine interactions? 27 by acadapter | 27 comments on Hacker News. I recently saw a short documentary with a case where someone had an overdose because of interaction with medicines and grapefruit juice. This is apparently due to substances in grapefruit that interact with an enzyme used to metabolize some medicines. Warning labels in the leaflet seems like a very inefficient solution. Why isn't the warning placed on products containing grapefruit?

I've published the sources for the code generation and the code that was generated on GitHub: https://ift.tt/EQHnDzi I've been experimenting with merging prompts together, with a goal to write the full backend in a single prompt. On the form: > 1. Setup a flask web server > 2. Add a /add endpoint It works reasonably well, but it seems like it's loosing some precision in the prompts... The person that coined the term "prompt engineering" was right, it's really important to learn what words to use to get the AI to do exactly what you want it to do.
