Desktop. Very hard to replace the parts on a laptop when something breaks especially the track pad.

I am still a junior but this seems like you are interviewing the AI rather than the candidate. Also why bother with a technical interview if you expect AI to do their job?

Can you send the GitHub link again?
And how does this handle rendering larger documents?

Self hosting would cost more money than free tier for most companies.

What's your sales strategy? Is cold calling companies with google analytics installed on their websites more effective than the blog? Have you been able to retain Next.js users after Vercel released Web Analytics?

Not sure, but I'm definitely interested in following your business and seeing what your strategy will become because I was building something similar but when larger teams starting releasing free solutions I couldn't think of a way to compete. Best of luck.

It also tracks page views, referrers, geographic location, and other analytics common to rybbit

How would rybbit.io make money if they are only better at self hosting? Wouldn't the users they are targeting only self host anyways?
> "On "Ahrefs", is there even an open source version of their product? I couldn’t easily find it (on mobile)."
Not all of these companies are open source but they are still competitors because they have generous free tiers so the cost of self hosting an alternative wouldn't be justified.

PostHog and Plausible are both open source and not backed by big corporations but if sharing data to third parties and being open source is a concern (which seems to be the selling point rybbit.io is targeting) I would expect users to self host instead of paying for a hosted plan anyways?
Re:Open source Google Analytics replacement

The market for Google Analytics alternatives is crowded. There's Plausible, Ahrefs web analytics, onedollarstats.com, PostHog, Matomo, Unami, Grafana, Microsoft Clarity (free at any scale), and so many others. Despite minor differences these products all compete for the same users (e.g. if someone is a PostHog customer they probably won't be using Ahref web analytics) yet most of these companies offer generous free tiers while rybbit only a free trial.
How do products like rybbit.io stay competitive without a similar free tier or major differentiation? Is rybbit generating revenue for its hosted plan?

I chose StableLM because that's the only other model I knew of besides ChatGPT. I'm open to adding support for other models after I fix some bugs first.

Smallville can be used to create NPCs with the same level of realism as human players without having to pre-program interactions. The agents store and retrieve past memories which they use to create plans so they can decide where to move, what to say, and how to react to observations. Agents are also capable of interacting with the world around them to change the state of objects on their own.
This project was intended to make it easy for anyone to create custom simulations and my attempt to recreate Generative Agents: Interactive Simulacra of Human Behavior. I’ve been working on Smallville for the past few weeks and hope other people also find it useful. Would love to hear any thoughts about the project and where I should take it from here.
