JavaScript is a hell of a lot faster than Ruby, PHP, or Python, yet Python is mostly used for AI/ML. I think V8 is plenty "fast enough" (why wouldn't it be)?

Naively said. Everything ends up in JavaScript.

Awesome work! Would love to see a video demo, mainly to see how the speech sounds, delays, and general answers. This is the perfect project for HN - great readme/setup tutorial too.

Amazing work, feels like a step forward for LLM usability. Would be interesting if there was a web browser that managed the download/install of models so you could go to a site like this, or any other LLM site/app and it detects w

Kind of a tough read, felt a bit like dancing around a point or not quite getting to one. It seems like the author learned how to use a power drill recently then quizzed a random chat on how they work (something he didn't know 5 mins b

Thanks I appreciate it! Maybe when I start producing stuff with it and putting it on itch.io and other places, just need to get it out there outside dev circles :)

Apps? So you would use this OS for the amazing consumer experience? And in your mind is that comparable to a Linux distro like Raspbian or Ubuntu in terms of availability of apps? Strange way to gauge simplicity too "this screen has 10

Raspberry Pi is amazing. Everything from the size and simplicity of hardware to that of Raspbian. Super moddable, modular, surprisingly performant. As a lot of others do, I use one for most of my sites and apps as a home server. 15+ apps, s

FWIW nobody has created a great JavaScript framework experience yet. Closest we have for RAG is LlamaIndexTS or Langchainjs but both are full of bugs and have little LLM support. Their whole approach to supporting LLMs is writing bespoke

Yeah but that's like saying what propels a car forward is a green stoplight, it's just a correlation you can observe that could have nothing to do with it - might not even be indirectly causal. When you think deeply about the Hard

Seems like it could be a useful fact check service provider, wherever that might apply (social media apps, news sites, etc.). Would come down to how nice the libraries are for developers, and how good the SaaS UI and pricing is.

This is awesome! Very very good work. Simple, friendly product design and I love that it corrects both facts and grammar. Not only is this an impressive use of LLMs, it's highly relevant to our social media of today, and I can imagine
