Prompt Injection game: https://www.integrated.io/

My college roomate and I are fine-tuning an open source LLM to detect prompt injection and other LLM targeted attacks. We made a game you can play here to try to get the LLM to give up a secret code. So far only 1 person has been able to crack it. Checkit it pit here: https://www.integrated.io/

I am rewriting https://createaclickablemap.com/

I started changing some thing last year adding micro services with NodeJs

I am using VueJS for the new editor and Laravel for the back-end. Added several features that had plan over the years. I am 98% there and mostly prepping for the migration. Will switch to subscription and add couple of different plans.

I built https://places.praytic.com/ because I was fed up with clunky map apps that have a feature-creep interface. You know that moment when you're in the car with friends trying to pick somewhere to eat? Although, you've got tons of saved places, but good luck finding them in Google My Maps or Yelp on your phone. It's a mess of menus and features nobody asked for.

You can tag your spots with or whatever emoji so scanning a map visually actually makes a difference. It still uses Google search to find places, so that part's familiar. Sharing is ridiculously easy too: long-press your map name, type in a friend's email, choose if they can edit or just view, and you're done. You can even stack multiple friends' maps together to see everyone's recommendations at once.

It's still in early stages of development, but core features are already there.

This one's going to be out of left field, but last Thursday I launched Countdown Treasure ( https://countdowntreasure.com ) It's a real life treasure hunt in the Blue Ridge Mountains with a current total prize of $31,200+ in gold coins and a growing side pot. I modeled it off of last year's Project Skydrop ( https://projectskydrop.com ) which was in the Boston area. * Shrinking search area (today, Day 5, it will be 1…

That's awesome!

Building https://check.supply : the easiest way to mail a real paper check from your iPhone. Link your bank, type the amount, and we print + mail it for you — with optional certified or express USPS tracking

this is slick, nice work! We're in the market for a service like this but we're looking for an API to do high volume check-based refunds. Are you mailing the checks out yourself or working with a third party?

Really nice app design. For us outside the US, what is the use case for this? I don't think I've seen a paper check in over twenty years.

just what I was thinking

- great idea / app

- I am never gonna use it

- I bet shit-ton of people still use checks for something and this is cool for them

I've spent a lot of time working on data model consistency in modern complex systems, where many services interact with multiple environments and databases. I created a tool for working in the model-first paradigm. https://ormfactory.com/

I also created a proxy bridge for Oracle databases, which runs on an open-source protocol, as part of the core tool's ecosystem. https://github.com/OrmFactory/o-bridge

I'm working on https://bodge.app/ I'm calling it a "Micro Functions as a Service" platform. What it really is, is hosted Lua scripts that run in response to incoming HTTP requests to static URLs. It's basically my version of the old https://webscript.io/ (that site is mostly the same as it was as long as you ignore the added SEO spam on the homepage). I used to subscribe to webscript and I'd been constantly missing i…

Cool! This reminds of https://val.town

Working hard on Rad, which is aiming to be a Bash-replacement for writing CLI scripts. The goal is to allow users to write maintainable scripts with declarative argument parsing, built-in JSON processing, HTTP requests, and interactive prompts - all in a familiar, readable syntax (Python-like!). Here's an example of the declarative approach to script args: args: username str # Required string password str? # Optional…

Have you seen usage (https://github.com/jdx/usage)? It seems similar.

I'm making an OpenAI API proxy to stay within a spending limit (like 1$ per hour then a 429), AFAIK they only support "budget alerts" and I'm not comfortable releasing anything without a hard limit on the spend. https://github.com/goverture/goxy - Still a work in progress, I plan to support streaming as well and might support other providers if there's a demand for it.

OpenAI gives an allotment of free daily tokens if you agree to hand over the inputs as training. I’d love a proxy that places the limit just before you exhaust those free tokens, to avoid incurring any expenses for small hobbyist projects.

THIS would incredible
