I see this is using GPT4o, any plans for something more sustainable? Would be interesting to see an https://openfreemap.org for LLMs.

Perhaps via an RNN like in https://huggingface.co/spaces/BlinkDL/RWKV-Gradio-2

Or even just leverage huggingface gradio spaces? (most are Gradio apps that expose APIs https://www.gradio.app/guides/view-api-page)

These videos are incredibly life like. I can see many virtual companions being made with this.

I don’t see how this is different from using the pdb Python module? You can catch exceptions and use to write functions.
Re:Teaching a neural network to use a calculator on Thursday November 14, 2019 @07:17AM (#21534796)
Here the neural network was given examples of how to use the calculator for each question which means it wasn't generating it's own abstractions.

If you wanted to use this to solve other (e.g. programming) problems you would need examples of every step required for almost every problem.

Using neural networks in this way is akin to locality sensitive hashing, instead it should understand what it's lowest level operators do and discover useful combinations of them that can solve new problems.

I've seen one that pairs people to meet up every week.

It's just hard to incentivise. I wonder what would? Would being payed work?

Yeah, or I could comment on a tweet linking to an article with "@TLDR" and your bot would comment the summary.

I was inspired to work on this by Bret Victor's "Inventing on Principle" lecture https://youtu.be/PUv66718DII

Any feedback appreciated!

I found this really useful for my articles. The short snippets would work well as tweets, a tweet bot for article summaries would be cool!

Creator here,

The idea is to have one site that can brings you everything you check for into one place but also helps you discover great sites you've never seen before.

Just finished this today so Im super keen for any feedback anyone might have.

Odly enough I have the same problem with feed readers I've tried. Even with sites I really like such as Reddit and Hacker News, that's why when you subscribe to a site if it puts out frequent updates (or you choose too) it's posts will show up in a scroll bar in your feed and so won't fill it up.

Here's a pic of it:

Re:Apply HN: WebArcs – bringing back surfing the web on Friday April 08, 2016 @03:13AM (#11453069)
So it differs from Reddit as Reddit's feed is based made of subreddits that share links creating a unique feed of content while WebArcs's feed is feed of the other feeds of sites you subscribe to.

It differs from an RSS reader in the way we show the content. Most readers such as feedly try to restrict the functionality of the product so people will pay for it and only offer you an easier way to view the sites you already like and so already have a way of accessing.

On WebArcs we try to enable discovery of new feeds you would not view otherwise. This is the hardest thing to get across, I only keep up with hacker news, Reddit, TheMacro, recode and a lot more because I have WebArcs.

It's when you find a new site you wouldn't of kept up with before on WebArcs that you start getting the real value.

tl;dr It's about enableing you to discover new sites you couldn't keep up with otherwise.

Thanks for your question by the way =D

Hey I'm actually working on a web app to allow people to keep up with a ton of RSS feeds remotely. I was thinking since it seems like something you could be interested in it would be great if you check it out and possibly give me some feedback.

Thank you that really helps =D

I'll try and find the value proposition and see if I can get that one user.

Hi Trevor and Jared,

I'm the founder of WebArcs (http://webarcs.com) an RSS aggregate for discovering and subscribing to websites. I'm just starting out and I want to see this be the way people surf the web in the future.

I was wondering which demographics I ought to target too too help build a strong user base?
