Is it bad that I want to try Hermes but look at the code and see setup.py and no project.toml and it gives me pause?

- whilenot-dev 4mo agoYou should be looking for a pyproject.toml: https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/blob/main/pyproject.toml https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/blob/main/pypro... And a uv.lock is also there...
- _pdp_ 4mo agoI might be a little more paranoid than most because of my profession, but none of these projects inspire enough trust to justify being installed - let alone directly on the machine I use every day. OpenClaw, at least initially, and Hermes both appear to have been heavily astroturfed using all kinds of blackhat tactics, which is a huge red flag to me. And then there is the code.
- urbandw311er 4mo agoThis doesn’t get called out enough. Although actually come to think of it, I think it could be against HN guidelines to accuse things of being Astroturfed!
- adampunk 4mo agoThere’s also no evidence for it aside from “stars go up too much” and “my social circle isn’t talking about it”, so that could be a reason!
- __mharrison__ 4mo agoMy bad... saw the setup.py and quickly posted.
