Almost all of the examples on the website are ridiculous, which in turn makes your project look bad. Imho you should wipe them, populate it with some realistic small scale ideas and be much more strict in review, at least for now.

The first one I saw was local first memory for AI, which seemed entirely reasonable.

Thank you! I'm actually using this adversarially (or maybe just an experiment) to compare it with an open source protocol that I've already begun to publish but am having trouble getting traction or review on due to it sitting awkwardly across so many domains: local first, capability, ux, security, personal AI memory, knowledge graphs. I have a reference implementation in Rust (I see this site built theirs in python - interesting) but I've been working more on building the right way to explain the need.

It's hard to explain briefly, and so putting this prompt up was a way for me to possibly generate some interest and act as a little public marker for an idea: open-source user-owned memory infrastructure for AI and the importance that I think it represents. My vision and belief behind this project has been slowly building for the past two months - I think personal AI memory will become one of the most important layers in computing, and I'd like that layer to be inspectable, correctable, portable and truly owned by the humans it describes. I'd like to encourage any casual readers who might be interested to reach out to me.

there's someone already doing this: https://github.com/malisper/pgrust

I guess the new LLM implementation will just ~copy~ clean room reimplement that then.

how expensive do you think tokens are, and/or how cheap do you think a developer is?

Someone posted 20k/month Fable budgets only a few days ago. That's nearly 250k/year, which is what Oxide pays their employees. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48471771

That is a ridiculous amount of AI usage, though, and will output way more code than a single developer.

Whoever posted the request for Notepad++ on MacOS...

... I was feeling generous, so here you go!

I copy and pasted your prompt into Augment (Opus 4.7) and told it to do everything you wanted, then I told it to keeping going afterwards.

I think there are a few missing pieces as it's quite a open-ended piece of work. This took 59,000 tokens.

if fable is writing it, courts my declare that its not even public domain? not a copywrightable work

That's a problem more and more products in software will face. In a few years most saas will have 95 percent or even more AI coded code. Could I steal it and put it on git?

No, because it's a trade secret. But you might not be in breach of copyright.

Interesting way to waste $23

Some people have a drinking budget, I have a domain name budget. A couple years back, my friends threw a domain name transfer party, like a secret Santa where you got to surprise someone with a domain name you got for them.

The thing about budgets is you don't have to spend it all

I don’t know, if the design itself is copyrighted you could argue that the AI is just a bunch of hired workers that built it for extremely low wages. If I hired a bunch of people to build me a house, and I drafted the architectural plans with the help of a paid architect, neither the architect nor the builders have ownership over the home. So if a collection of people design something together maybe that has merit, t…

> you could argue that the AI is just a bunch of hired workers that built it for extremely low wages. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such an assertion. With apologies to Mr. Charles Babbage.

All computation abides by the same laws of getting sh*t done. Ask Mr. Amdahl. It starts with plebs (AI or otherwise) getting paid low wages.
