Question: Is there any way to induce randomness? Given two lists, instructions that say "Pick a random item from each list" consistently returns the same two items.

#92Looks like an interesting project for sure, but they make it really hard to try out. At first, this submission links to a blog post with information and in the middle, a bunch of demos laid out in a grid.
I clicked on one of them, which took me to the actual app. When trying to click the button to generate something, it asks me to login/sigup. Fine, I signup. Then once finishing the sign up, I land on some sort of index page with tutorials and "my projects", but not at the demo I first wanted to see.
So I go back to HN, to this submission, click on the link but it still takes me to this index view instead of the blog post/page I first read. I just wanted to see what happened when I clicked the button inside the app...

Seems like the same text/instructions are cached, so they give you the same result. Just a hack, but adding in a data box with current date+time fixes it as expected as the inputs are no longer the same. I wouldn't rely on this for true randomness though.

I found the demos just under My Projects under the Examples section

LLMs can't do random very well
needs something like a "tool use" or "python script" component to call out and get a proper random choice according to your instructions

#96This cool but comfyui has been doing this for years.

Hi Steve! Super cool implementation. Any chance you’ll make the source available? There are about 50 extensions I’d make to it if I could! (And I’m sure I’m not alone.)
Not immediately! This might turn out to be just a great demo, might be something worth continuing with, really depends on how the next few weeks go. Either way there might be something we can do with the developer community around data endpoints in the short term.
so exciting to see these ideas out in the world! i'm now imagining a Scratch-like playground for kids to explore end-user programming / AI in an accessible way, like some of the example apps you've shown
there's been a rising tide of academic HCI work in a similar space, wonder if there will be cross-pollination of ideas along these lines (many more papers i'm sure but some off the top of my head): https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.11473 https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.09128

#99Can someone explain, apart from the license, what is the main differentiating factor between this and excalidraw?

That sounds really useful. There's no export yet here apart from images and it isn't something I've thought about much so far. Are there standard formats for these types of workflows?
No industry standard format that I know of. I presume I'll have to come up with my own (some kind of typed JSON, probably). At the end of the line these are just function definitions -- a black box that takes well defined inputs and produces well defined outputs, as well as calling out side-effects (I suppose these could just be more outputs).
