Re:Show HN: Toivo – A Smarter Assistant on Monday December 09, 2024 @07:05AM (#42365427)
Great question. We've implemented a series of extensible hallucination guardrails that are hyper focused on task completion, to deal with various error states, and ultimately get the user to what they wanted complete in the final stages. While AgentE and Skyvern are great platforms that ease the setup of task completion agents, they still lack in being able to get a simple task done. I've tried multiple times to book a restaurant on skyvern and AgentE, but the agents never got to completion. We've approached this very differently with Toivo.

We've all been there: drowning in to-do lists, wasting hours on repetitive tasks like booking appointments. Existing AI assistants promise help, but often fall short when it comes to actually completing tasks.At Toivo [1], we're building a smarter solution. We use Microsoft’s awesome AutoGen [2] framework for agentic applications along with a custom layer of multi-agent orchestration, built...

We overlay the schema and your query history to develop a strong understanding of the underlying data using multiple foundational and custom AI models. This helps us better interpret a question and show relevant results as a visualization. Sometimes we don't get it right, but have measures in place to let a user provide additional context to get to the right results.

Can someone help me understand the extent of possible damage by having a webcam cover? This might at least inform me if its worth the risk.

When Apple says "you might damage your display because the clearance between the display and keyboard is designed to very tight tolerances", do they mean?

- the display itself could have scratches?

- the display connector at the hinge has a chance of weakening?

- others?

Thanks for this comment, I'm empathetic and am in a similar boat. I'm curious if there are managers/companies out there that are expecting the same level of productivity from their staff during these times?

I for one expect lower productivity from my staff whether or not they have kids, and am adjusting delivery dates to account for this.

I think the website is pretty snazzy and is illustrative. Is this a WordPress template? If so, would you recommend any managed WordPress hosting site - WpEngine? Our performance on Siteground with Cloudflare has been less than stellar.

> Now they'll own the entire stack and have a great integration story for enterprises. Even though containers have been around 3+ year's in the form of docker, corporations still don't have a scooby on how to integrate their existing deployment and development workflows.

I second this. If its a legacy stack, enterprises struggle to fully containerize their apps and commit to deploying with a container orchestration layer like OpenShift or Kubernetes. IMHO, we need more enterprises to get over this barrier, than view it as a passion project by over eager devops' teams...

Re:Equifax C.E.O. Richard Smith Retires After Huge Data Breach on Tuesday September 26, 2017 @11:47AM (#15339684)
I'd add that the vitriol against Equifax partly arises from everyone's distaste of CRA's (credit reporting agencies) owing to their magic 8 ball scheme of ranking credit. There may also be some reserved anti-sub-prime sentiment that lingers from 2008.

At the very least, I hope this will cause lenders and credit reporters to take data security very seriously.
