it's possible, takes a bit of finesse. i might add an auto-swing to make it easier. you can also jump to shift momentum aggressively

the blocks and building scales are accurate - based on OpenNYC, but the building styles / shapes are generic

Show HN: Local Email Client for AI Horseless Carriages

https://github.com/dbish/DispatchMail

The AI Horseless Carriages article spurred a lot of conversation about how we should just be giving users the system prompt box [0], and we were pretty surprised that a bunch of email clients didn’t pop up following this pattern [1].So we went ahead and created a local [2] email client that you can run that processes your inbox with your own handwritten rules. It lets you label and archive...

Show HN: Toy LLM Daydreaming

https://github.com/shahgahmed/toy-llm-daydream

After reading gwern’s post two days ago about LLM Daydreaming [0], I wanted to just see how it would behave. I grabbed the top vital article titles from wikipedia [1] and made a simple next js app to try the prompt in a loop.It was pretty interesting to see the connections made between concepts. Happy to host this if people find it useful![0] https://gwern.net/ai-daydreaming [1]...

thanks for checking it out. i imagine 2 things, 1 - any edit actions require a "human in the loop" approval. 2 - for sensitive info, internal instances of llms or only local models accessing info

Show HN: Trello Boards for Agents

https://www.dispatchboard.ai/

Most agent tools (Devin, n8n, Codex, etc.) create new user experiences and dashboards for managing work. It feels like we should work alongside agents and use the tools we already do.To test this experience, we built Dispatch Board. It lets you work alongside agents and humans using a kanban board to create tasks and respond to any questions that come up.Would love feedback on workflows you’d...

Show HN: notperplexity – Emulating an AI-Search Engine over the Weekend

I challenged myself to recreate the core experience of Perplexity.ai, the $9B “Google-killer", on a Sunday, using OpenAI's latest web search capabilities and a light frontend.The result is: notperplexity.aiUnder the hood, it wraps OpenAI’s new Responses API with the web-search tool. It’s sometimes useful and mostly an excuse to see how far the primitives have come. It does beg the question of...

i like the philosophy! do ya'll provide a specific collector/agent or do users send directly from the community otel collector?
Re:David Chang on the long, hard, stupid way on Wednesday September 11, 2024 @12:36PM (#41512975)
"The dish was meant to be a difficult pickup that required constant coordination between the front and back of house. That was what made it great."

This feels like the crux. It's not arbitrarily doing the hard, stupid thing, but the ones that are based in making the product or process better.

this is detailed in the Google SRE book: https://sre.google/workbook/incident-response/
curious, is this because you expect something other than Slack supported?

arguably you can reduce even more latency by keeping the model on-device as well, but that would mean revealing the weights of the fine-tuned model.

If the user preferred reduced latency and had the RAM, is that an option?
