We can definitely make harder evals, the problem is a good eval set is indistinguishable from good training data / market edge, so no one is incentivized to share their best eval sets publicly.

My friend is building something similar to Little Snitch but specialized for sandboxing agents / monitoring their traffic / building rulesets to restrict traffic by "learning" from good runs. https://greywall.

This is so cool, just bookmarked it next to https://emojidb.org/ which is what I've been using in the past for vector-based emoji search.

I have found this as well, FTSE5 is convenient to have as an option, but it's not as versatile as postgres or sonic or other full-text search solutions. Does anyone have any other favorite modern bloom-filter-based search solutions tha

Surprised no one has mentioned Turso yet! They recently landed multi-writer support for their rust SQLite re-implementation, which is personally the biggest issue I've had with using SQLite for high concurrency applications. `PRAGMA jo

I built this recently to toy around with mac sensor data + hardware outputs. Because it can represent all streams as mono audio, it lets you do crazy things like this: accelerometer | metronome | tee >(keyboard-brightness) | speake

I know this is not the right place for this but if there's any chance you could send this link to someone internal at Github who knows how to fix this, that would be awesome! https://github.com/orgs/community/

Yeah exactly like this. I like being able to approve/deny requests or "learn" from a good run and apply that policy to later runs so I can leave them unattended and know they can't access anything aside from what I appro

Ripgrep is used as the defautl search backend for ArchiveBox, such a good tool. I was on ag (the-silver-searcher) for years before I switched, but haven't gone back since. There's also RGA (ripgrep-all) which searches binary files

Weird, I dont have any edit option on my comment after you replied. Maybe it's a karma-gated feature?

Doesn't HN prevent that? I thought edits lock upon the first reply.

The best part is that *.*.localhost is also supported, so you can finally just replace *.com for your prod domains with *.localhost. ArchiveBox now uses this feature by default in the latest version to finally offer unique per-snapshot doma

THis is not without servers, you still use a signaling server for TURN. If you want true serverless you need a side channel to copy the offer/response, e.g. tell the user's to copy paste them as base64 thorugh whatsapp manually or

Having built production apps on SQLite I can say it's not all sunshine and roses, the complexity explodes the moment you need multiple workers that can all write. You better hope you dont have any big indexes or your writes will queue

SQLite is great until you try to do any kind of multi-writer stuff. Theres no SELECT FOR UPDATE locking and no parallel write support, if any of your writes take more than a few ms you end up having to manage queueing at the application lay

No multi-writer support.

I really wish I could but it's hard to embed in local-first apps and packages without forcing users to set up docker. PGlite would be perfect if only it allowed multiple writer connections. SQLite is ok but I want PG extensions and I w

genuinely curious, doesn't JS's proxy objects and prototype-based MRO have a similar performance impact in theory?
