What it does

What does a typical document signing process look like? Usually, the client receives a ready-made PDF document through various communication channels or third-party services. The client fills in all the necessary fields and signs the document, then returns the signed document to the sender. Things can get more complicated when your documents don’t follow some distinct structure and contain many unique details per each individual client. For instance, rental agreements usually contain specific details of the rented property with some additional terms. In this case, we can use the DocuSeal HTML API to automate the process of creating and signing unique documents. HTML is indeed a powerful and…from docuseal.co

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
