Github Desktop has limits, this uses your own OpenAI account.

Is it possible to run this in a chaotic function? I would be interested to see what patterns emerge. I haven't found any code or model to generate this.

Hey, I’ve implemented almost the same thing, but I’ve focused on the internals. I have the server and mount system implemented and wanted to implement something similar to webtorrent to be able to mount peer to peer mounts between browsers. I have more or less the file system and the syscalls. I was using assembly script to implement user space. Take a look. Probably you can copy some parts https://github.com/intigos/possimpible

I've been working on the idea of building synthetic workers. I'm trying to implement a planning workflow system for scenarios where the workflow definition, the environment, or the task are not well defined. I also ended up implementing a micro Palentir plugin system to support the action system for the synthetic users.

Its a cool project that gave me immense pleasure to built, however its unfortunately a intellectually masturbatory one, because although the tech is cool, I haven't found a cool application for it. If anyone is interested hit me up.

What the actual f**!!! I'm from Coruche!! The fact that I'm seeing my hometown name in HN is f'ing insane.

My name is Artur Ventura, I'm a Senior Software Developer Engineer with a cross functional expertise in every level of software development. Developing software on a professional level, in scenarios of hundreds of thousands of users for 13 years. Focused on Applied Artificial Intelligence, in particular Natural Language Processing pipelines. Just finishing the sale of a company and looking for a new challenge.

Interesting idea, but if you didn't filter the elements with URLs, you're creating a CSS injection attack that enables people who visit the website to work as bots in a botnet and attack some url.

This is really good, and I was really excited by it but then I read:

> running on a single 8XA100 40GB node in 38 hours of training

This is a $40-80k machine. Not a diss, but I would love to see an advance that would allow anyone with a high end computer to be able to improve on this model. Before that happens this whole field is going to be owned by big corporations.

Hey there!

Search in the web is becoming problematic. Quality is decreasing and competition is extremely hard.

Some time ago I came to the realisation that the biggest strength of Google might also be its Achilles heel. Google is forced to create a list of links because that's the main vehicle where they drive profit from. If you were to send a question like "Who is Barack Obama?" you still will get a list of links although google knows there is a canonical answer.

However, if you were to build a new search engine from the ground up you would need to build the infrastructure to crawl the web, crawl it, index it and build the interface. That will take a lot of money and time to test one idea. And there are multiple possible attack vectors to Google's business model (privacy, subscription model, modality, etc.). You might get the chance of testing one of them, and if that fails, starting again is super expensive so you might not be able to.

My idea is to have a single open web index database, continuously updated so that you can apply ranking and embedding algorithms to it. This would reduce the cost of entry, and enable developers to build competitors to google on top of it, or create new products in the search space (for instance, a search engine for clothes). I don't know if this is interesting for anyone but if it is, hit me up.

I faced the problem. I think one of the main issues with google is the modality of the results. Google is forced to create a list of links because that's the main vehicle where they drive profit. If you were to send a question like "Who is Barack Obama?" you still will get a list of links although google knows there is a canonical answer.

The problem is that if you were to build a new search engine from the ground up it will take millions in infrastructure, and a lot of time for you to test one idea. And there are multiple attack vectors to Google's business model (privacy, subscription model, modality, etc.) however you might get the change of testing one of them, and if that fails, starting again is super expensive so you might not be able to get funds to do it.

My approach then became to build something that others can build on top of.

I'm currently using common crawl but my main problem is that I need to build a small toy to test it and even processing common crawl is crazy expensive. Just a single snap are 150 Tb, so this needs to be process on metal, or you're gonna pay a hefty AWS bill.

I'm working on building an AWS for anyone who wants to make their own search engine. The idea is to have a single open webindex database, continuously updated that you can apply ranking and embedding algorithms in it. This would reduce the cost of entry, and enable developers to build competitors to google on top of it, or create new products in the search space like a search engine for clothes. I don't know if this is interesting for anyone but if it is, hit me up.

My professional background is in artificial intelligence. Currently I’m the Tech Lead at Bond Touch, and I’ve worked at Unbabel, a YC company, as an artificial intelligence engineer on the Machine learning team. I also have some interests in quantum computing, financial modeling and robotics.

I love watching SpaceTime on youtube! If you watch it, it will give you a surprisingly deep understanding of the state of the art on physics, but is the kind of show that if you don't have a massive background in physics, you either need to be extremely focused to understand it, or blazed out of your mind.

Hi everyone, I was bored during Christmas and I decided to implement plan9 semantics inside the browser. I have 9p2000 working, file servers and I've imported namespace logic from linux. My objective is to be able to mount one browser into another, and eventually implement a network stack similar to GNS. My objective has been more academic, learn more about operative systems, but this might lead to some interesting places. I would like to get into a point where we can have a browser to browser web, with its own Name System, and applications.

Hey dude, I've been screwing around implementing plan9 semantics in a OS like system for the browser (https://github.com/intigos/possimpible). I'm interested in using a x86 emulator inside a webwoker that I'm using for processes so I can run x86 code. How hard is something like this? Can you give me some pointers on how to start working on this? Thanks!

I will take a look for sure. I didn't knew they actually got inferno running on a browser. Probably some of you can help me understand better on how to implement certain parts of the OS.

I was stuck at parents for xmas and I picked Tannenbaum “distributed systems” and “Modern operating systems”, which gave me an idea of running a "kernel" on a browser. It was more of an academic exercise than anything else, but my intention was to have a the following:

Being able to unload and reload javascript. The initial idea was to write the website inside the website, but at the core level it requires having something akin to process isolation for javascript. It also requires the dom to be isolated.

Implementing 9p2000, and share resources across browsers. I’ve been reading about the ideas of plan 9 and i would like to implement something that allows me to connect point to point to other browsers and mount their FS into mine so we can share resources.

One of the cool results that I got was that since the dom is not directly changed (each process/worker has its own partial dom and every time that it changes it a delta is sent back to the main thread for sync) it allows javascript to be running somewhere else (another browser, back end server) and sync’ed back (much like vadaain, but more agnostic).

Most of the code was inspired by the linux kernel (which gave me a reason to go learn its internals) and is kinda nasty at some points but is written in typescript as some of you have already mentioned. Someone might find it interesting even if just for the educational purpose of

Wow I'm literally implementing this right now!!

I'm a software engineer with 12 years of experience academic background in AI, in particular NLP. Deep understanding of JVM (built the first JavaScript JVM), been working more recently with Python for the past few years, particularly applied to production environment deployment of AI. Looking for interesting projects to work on.

Allow me to go to your page just by entering a different domain, meaning having a URL schema similar to that of youtube, that would make things much simpler.

I would love If anyone extend this information for foreigners (in my case EU) wanting to open a US based company.

I see. It just that the concept just feels weird to me, targeting specifically a few types of people. I suspect having that here where I'm from (Portugal), would have been construed as being racist. Again, not being a troll, just trying to understand.

I'm sorry if I came across as trollish, I was just trying to reinforce how weird the concept is to me.

I'm not trying to be a troll, I'm just trying to find a justification. Having something that says you can only can come in if you are "Black, Hispanic, Women, Veterans, and International founders" kinda racist as fuck? It sounds exactly like segregation to me.

Again, not trying to be a troll. Not American, just trying to understand.

"It provides a cleaner, more standards-compliant, faster API than you are likely to write from scratch."

If you are using this as a web server persistence backend, I would agree with the first, more or less accept the second and reject the third. HTTP + JSON serialisation are way slower for that kind of job.

If you are just exposing the database using only the Postgres, in that case is interesting, however, I have concerns about how more complex business logics would work with such a CRUD view.

I had to implement a Java REPL like this one in school.

My experience of using it is that tells me that without a undefined type keyword it becomes very boring to use. Each time you have to define a variable you have to write all type info:

    Map<String,String> foo = new HashMap<>();

If java had a inferred type declaration, like Golang, Swift, Scala, etc. This would be much simpler:

    var foo = new HashMap<String,String>();

But from what I think there is nothing like that on Java's roadmap. In fact, I think it was proposed and rejected in the past.

I have a question that I haven't seen address in the article. Does the code always assume the "sphere" is Earth or can you provide geometric information for other geometries?

I've been trying to implement a open source version of the Wolfram language for FenixEdu but is extremely hard. For the most part is possible as long you don't use stuff that depends of proprietary data sets. Also, after 30 years working on it, it is quite faster than anything else.

I truly would like to see the community come up with a open source version of it, but with such a huge size, the language would be near impossible for one single individual to implement a compatible version.
