News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Yea there could also be an issue with learning how to hand hold an AI vs working on how to actually engineer good solutions. Maybe one feeds into the other since we're not getting off the AI train...
Agreed. However, I'm worried the productivity hack AI gives us might effect the "what" negatively.

Ask HN: Is anyone here also developing "perpetual AI psychosis" like Karpathy?

I read on Reddit about a podcast where Karpathy described how he went from writing 80% of his own code to 0%, being in a constant state of “AI psychosis” because the possibilities feel infinite.I’ve personally found that my workflow has become very “opportunistic”—I feel like I can do anything with AI, so I try everything. That might be good…or bad. I’d be curious to see what HN has to say, or...

Currently working on training language models steered towards certain "states of consciousness".

I have a model trained on publics datasets tied to brainwaves and/eye tracking and text comprehension (have this working well enough to experiment). Now I am training an adapter for various llm architectures to generate text steered to certain neural oscillation patterns (let's call them "states of consciousness" for brevity). I also have a 'rephraser' that rephrases text to elicit these certain states of consciousness. Overall experimenting with creating an suite of tools off my findings with how text relates to the eigenmodes of consciousness. My theory is once I do this I'll be able to do some...interesting things with "AI" agents. lmk if you want to talk about it if you're someone with knowledge in neuroscience/ML. My background is as a Software/ML Engineer so I could use additional thoughts. I do wish I could send a Github/docs which I will soon but this is currently a private project seeking investment for various research/public/private sector applications.

If anyone wants a free to use research agent try rex I've been building it for a couple months: https://projectrex.onrender.com/

It is not, Meha agent is fully custom except we don’t use our own models we’re using o3-mini for most of the inference

Thanks! That’s a great point we’ve been discussing how to deal with sensitive data after the launch. I think a corporate/enterprise version makes sense.
Re:Show HN: We're Building a Desktop App for Browser Agents on Sunday February 02, 2025 @02:40PM (#42911123)
awesome that's the same reason why I use it. It's basically a balance between the full html and having the markdown type scrapers that are better for just text. Do you mind if I reach out to you once I set up the Github?
Re:Show HN: We're Building a Desktop App for Browser Agents on Saturday February 01, 2025 @10:30PM (#42905510)
Oh damn I will definitely look into open sourcing it and making it a sdk
Re:Show HN: We're Building a Desktop App for Browser Agents on Saturday February 01, 2025 @09:15PM (#42904987)
Awesome we just fixed these issues thanks for letting us know.
Re:Show HN: We're Building a Desktop App for Browser Agents on Saturday February 01, 2025 @08:29PM (#42904639)
Sooo make your html extremely convoluted, randomized semantics, and a ton of hidden interations (+1 for only using custom web elements). basically make it like youtube. After spending way too much time building browser agents I can assure you this will also defeat Operator as well.
Re:Show HN: We're Building a Desktop App for Browser Agents on Saturday February 01, 2025 @07:59PM (#42904390)
Thank you for the feedback. Personally besides using our API server, we would like to find another way to deploy to anyone who has an issue with this/wants to run everything local (not just the client). Also I think if we had a OSS plug and play version where you could enter in your API keys locally it would help us ship to more devs. Would you be interested in this?
Re:Show HN: We're Building a Desktop App for Browser Agents on Saturday February 01, 2025 @07:55PM (#42904352)
Great! I will work on open sourcing that on our Github. It's basically a semantic format of html for AI agents to use the browser easily.
Re:Show HN: We're Building a Desktop App for Browser Agents on Saturday February 01, 2025 @07:53PM (#42904335)
We have an API server where we execute all the agent reasoning/planning jobs then we stream the browser commands to the client. We mention this in the how it works section on the website. This is the main reason why we have the 5 bot a day limit is because of this. It's cheap for us to run as of now but if anyone would like us to ship a version where you'd use your own api keys (plug n play) locally let us know!
Re:Show HN: We're Building a Desktop App for Browser Agents on Saturday February 01, 2025 @07:38PM (#42904199)
Anything improving reasoning chains of though improves planning. Right now the long term ones Art mentioned like logging in have been around 80% while simpler ones have been higher. Right now our main issue is figuring out how to keep the server up :/ we're getting a little more traffic than expected. However, to bump those success rates up (which we need to) we really really need to fine tune additional models which we're planning out right now.

I have a few ideas around that mostly going down the RL route (with a twist) mixed with some knowledge graph work. We'll give an update when we push that!

Re:Show HN: We're Building a Desktop App for Browser Agents on Saturday February 01, 2025 @07:20PM (#42904075)
Thanks for letting us know can you email us at [email protected] or dm one of us on discord with more information we're working through all the bug reports in the next couple days.
Re:Show HN: We're Building a Desktop App for Browser Agents on Saturday February 01, 2025 @07:19PM (#42904065)
maybe browser AI agent? Good note we didn't think of that.
Re:Show HN: We're Building a Desktop App for Browser Agents on Saturday February 01, 2025 @07:18PM (#42904063)
Great question, so right now you can do both. It does work better if you simply enter in the url for your task.

For the url generation we do we have safety checks for the urls however it's simply in the prompting. I would love to hear what sort of safety suggestions you have and/or concerns about this sort of experience. Right now we're still figuring out how best to enable people to utilize agents safely.

Re:Show HN: We're Building a Desktop App for Browser Agents on Saturday February 01, 2025 @07:08PM (#42903986)
Interesting can you lmk why you ditched all non native? We're discussing what decision to make on this now.
Re:Show HN: We're Building a Desktop App for Browser Agents on Saturday February 01, 2025 @06:12PM (#42903515)
Oh please do report that on either the discord or email us. We had a few people request linux support; trying to log all the feedback. It's really just time limitations right now no prejudice :)
Re:Show HN: We're Building a Desktop App for Browser Agents on Saturday February 01, 2025 @06:08PM (#42903475)
Packaging a browser runtime for a chat app is a concern when the base amount of resources is far more than what we need. I'm more concerned about dev community + what runtime we'd prefer managing local browser in. I'm looking to Go frameworks right now (I'm naturally moving away from python to Go personally) if anyone has any suggestions
Re:Show HN: We're Building a Desktop App for Browser Agents on Saturday February 01, 2025 @05:49PM (#42903293)
This is a python QT app (for now) we're lookin to move to electron however packaging this has been...interesting.
Re:Show HN: We're Building a Desktop App for Browser Agents on Saturday February 01, 2025 @05:26PM (#42903084)
It's all good! We're were mostly joking there I'm sure you have valid criticisms.

Hi HN! This is Jared co-founder at Meha (and our dev). Let me know what you think! I'll be here to respond to any feedback as you guys try it out.

What's up HN!This is Jared and Art. We met on HN and started building together.Over the last few months we've been thinking a lot about how AI agents are going to impact the future. We want agents to be something that's actually useful for normal people as well as the 10x'ers. This lead us to building Meha over the last few months, our first swing at our vision! We saw OpenAI release Operators...
