I created my own version with an inner llm, and outer orchestration layer for permissions. I don't think the OTP is needed here? The outer layer will ping me on signal when a tool …

Mostly, it's not the model that is lacking but the visibility it has. Often the top level business context for a problem is out of reach, spread across slack, email, internal knowl…

It's unintuitive, but having an llm verification loop like a code reviewer works impeccably well, you can even create dedicated agents to check for specific problem areas like poor…

I remember such a project, and due to our large and aging TypeScript frontend projects it would have added a couple of weeks to adjust all the types affected. All IDs in many place…

I need to look into this a little more, but can anyone tell me if this could be used to bundle a Linux container into a MacOS app? I can think of a couple of places that might be u…

As much as I agree with the sentiment, I can buy a firestick, Apple TV or Roku for a very small cost. Sure, a dumb TV would be lovely, but only because of a quicker boot time. Give…

Hi HN! For those unfamiliar, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is software used to track the lifecycle of a product (and it's parts) from design, through to manufacture and distri…

I wasn't sure what an "interlock" was, and it's a breathalyzer that prevents the vehicle from starting. Was that a mistake? Edit: ah! I think you meant engine immobilizer

Do these providers really bring enough value to use them over a colocated managed db? (Not just the same region, but subnet etc) I was under the impression for quite some time that…

All the awful reviews of united here, and yet it's reviewed as one of the highest rated insurance agencies (for example see https://www.forbes.com/advisor/health-insurance/best-hea…

Thanks for mentioning this. I did a bit of reading about the special alignment - very interesting stuff! It seems like the alignment you refer to inspired the launch of Voyager 1 a…

Agree that for a while at least it seems you'll need to understand the domain it is helping you with. That said, with the improvements in GPT4 over 3 in such a short time, and with…

I think you need to try it out, with GPT4, because it is so obviously much better than Google. Simple queries are fine with Google, not much difference, but especially for things l…

It's an open source library, I assume that logic is abstracted within it and that the "basic mistake" was one of the maintainer's.

Piggybacking your piggyback, that graph for the temperature throughout the day looks pretty but damn terrible UX in comparison to dark sky. Hourly temperatures/rain/etc gives me ev…

Given a few conditions I completely agree with this sentiment. If this does indeed become world-changing, leading to AGI, then the best hope we have is that those with all the powe…

Taking this with a pinch of salt given the nature of our current situation vs. 2008. > Technology progresses more or less independently of the stock market. Progress could be defin…

We do generate the protobuf from a different repo which gets published on npm, and we could generate it for different versions of TS. I suppose all of this work is part of the over…

Where I work, everything on the frontend is TypeScript, everything Nodejs is TypeScript. I did create a nice little bash utility using Standard style i.e. vanilla js in Node and th…

It's the original, which is being compiled on our internal protobuf definitions in a different repository and then installed post compile as an npm module. I spent a while trying t…
