> Jolla had to close

From the best I can tell, Jolla is still an active company:

I typically use a web application framework on the server to provide critical functionality like authentication, authorization, object relational mapping, etc. For example, I’m frequently using Django for server-side web application development due to its comprehensive features. How can Brisa integrate with a conventional server side web application framework (Rails, Laravel, etc.) to handle some of the user interface components while still leveraging the power of the web application framework?

I’m not GP, nor using PHP, but can highly recommend WagtailCMS:

https://wagtail.org/

It’s based on Python/Django and has an excellent developer and user experience. They pay a lot of attention to detail, including a block-based content editor, similar to Gutenberg, and first class accessibility support.

To help with debugging, could you respond to the GitHub thread with a bit more detail about the specific servers you have tried connecting to?

I’m not sure how recently they were added, but the Grid (modular environment) and the modulation sources are really powerful, particularly for adding organic/generative elements to a production. I’ve heard that Bitwig routing is another workflow enhancement, but haven’t used it too extensively.

It would be cool if Bitwig would introduce a scripting environment similar to Max for Live.

It would be understandable that they are focused currently on inference speed, but features like structured output and prompt caching make it possible to build more capable LLM applications.

Does Cerebras support reliable structured output like the recent OpenAI 4o?

I’m building an app with OpenAI, using structured outputs. Does OpenAI also support prompt caching?

I’d really like a Notion that syncs to Git. Kind of like the original promise of GitBooks. Can TileDocs sync to Git/GitHub for team-based collaboration?

One use case is for retrieving similar documents, such as when recommending related content. Another use case is retrieving document segments that are similar to a user query and passing them along with the user query to a large language model for improvement in the generated response. Vector search is also better in some ways than keyword search since it can find documents that are semantically similar even when the user may not have used the exact keyword, or even partial keywords like “Postgres” instead of “PostgreSQL.”

Aiko, mentioned elsewhere, includes a local copy of the OpenAI Whisper model: https://apps.apple.com/app/aiko/id1672085276

Please remove the “74935 viewing “ from the beginning of the submission, since that is apparently a viewer count at the time of the HN posting.

Retrieval Augmented Generation uses text that is stored in a database to augment user prompts that are sent to a generative AI, like a large language model. The retrieval results are based on their similarities to the user input. The goal is to improve the output of the generative AI by providing more information in the input (user prompt + retrieval results.) For example, we can provide the LLM details from an internal knowledge base so it can generate responses that are specific to an organization rather than based on general information. It may also reduce errors and improve the relevancy of the model output, depending on the context.

I don’t know if it meets all of your criteria but SUSE might be an option:

All sorts of things.

I’m often thinking of ideas while walking or riding the bus. For example, I make plans for an English discussion group I’m facilitating while walking to the class. Or I’ll iterate on software project ideas as they come to mind, like creating design documents, GitHub issues, etc.

Another use case is for live translation where I speak English to ChatGPT and it translates the output to various languages. Then, I show the translation to the other person and let them speak their response for ChatGPT to translate. The interesting thing is somehow Whisper translates the foreign language back to English when it returns the transcribed text, so I don’t need to submit that text to ChatGPT. This live translation of spoken conversations is a really important feature particularly since I interact with many people with varying degree of English proficiency speaking many languages (namely, Russian, Suomi, Czech, and Farsi.)

I would gladly do that too if Claude supported voice-to-text prompting like Whisper.

I use ChatGPT around town and can’t always type easily. That and it is easier for me to speak stream-of-consciousness than slowly typing my thoughts. Typing is a significant bottleneck.

Start with the customer needs rather than the technology. Do you have some specific product ideas? Those ideas would help steer technology decisions, particularly during the initial prototyping phase.

What would be your top choice for a post-Git VCS and why? I’m interested to try alternatives.

> Mercurial was started almost at the same time as Git by Olivia Mackall, a kernel hacker at the time, motivated, just like Linus, by the BitKeeper and SourcePuller drama of spring 2005.

Perhaps ironically, the now open-source BitKeeper may meet many of the author’s criteria for a post-Git version control system, at least at first glance from the BitKeeper homepage.

Interesting that the examples use XML for structuring/annotating the prompts. Is there any available comparison of using XML, JSON, or even Markdown for prompts and structured output? Markdown would seem like the prompt format with the least friction/verbosity, but I wonder if it would have a qualitative effect on the model output.

Good point, the cadence and intonation can feel unnatural.

I still believe that voice user interface is one of the more power and profound shifts these tools offer. They’re among the first generation of technologies that can parse human speech, follow commands, and if desired respond with speech. Those capabilities are more powerful when coupled with the ability to compress vast amounts of knowledge and generalize.

Like anything, LLMs and multi-modal models are far from perfect and raise many ethical and philosophical concerns. I’m cautiously optimistic as I believe voice interaction can make technology much more widely accessible and helpful to many people.

The voice user interface for natural two-way conversation is GPT’s killer feature. Gemini also suppports voice input, which I use to make interactions easier on desktop. Hopefully Anthopic will add at least speech-to-text support, although I understand smartphones often include that already. That said, the OpenAI Whisper TTS is really nice for English language input.

I use ChatGPT and similar tools like Grammarly to improve my writing and expand on ideas. It’s important to review any output from the models and consider how closely it matches my intentions. Likewise, I’ll usually revise the output rather than using it verbatim. Additionally, these tools can be helpful when writing in a language that is not our mother tongue or in situations we are unfamiliar with.

So, I think it’s legitimate to use these tools in personal and professional communications, with the caveat that we should review and revise the output.

The final products will likely be built by or integrated into downstream companies' services.

The Overture Maps Foundation's main aim seems to be to release comprehensive geodata with a consistent structure (schema).

"""Overture is dedicated to the development of reliable, easy-to-use, and interoperable open map data that will power current and next-generation map products."""

https://overturemaps.org/about/who-we-are/

The data and accompanying schema are primarily oriented toward the developer community and can be found on the Overture Maps Foundation website's downloads and documentation sections.

Note that the reforms suggested by the author are primarily normative, not legislative:

""" More specifically, we’d try to implement these four norms as widely as possible:

1. No smartphones before high school (as a norm, not a law; parents can just give younger kids flip phones, basic phones, or phone watches).

2. No social media before 16 (as a norm, but one that would be much more effective if supported by laws such as the proposed update to COPPA, the Kids Online Safety Act, state-level age-appropriate design codes, and new social media bills like the bipartisan Protecting Kids on Social Media Act, or like the state level bills passed in Utah last year and in Florida last month).

3. Phone-free schools (use phone lockers or Yondr pouches for the whole school day, so that students can pay attention to their teachers and to each other)

4. More independence, free play, and responsibility in the real world. """

As another commenter pointed out, this survey probably suffers from selection bias

Indeed. I shared what I thought was a detailed and helpful generative response to further the discussion and hopefully receive feedback from those knowledgeable on the topic. It's disappointing to see it met with downvotes and flagging, rather than constructive conversation.

Which other frameworks are you referring to when comparing documentation?

For shared reference, here are the latest Django docs:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/

And Django 5.x docs on DevDocs, which mirrors documentation for many projects with a unified interface:

I'm having difficulty understanding the Resolume products/pricing structure. I'd like to create some visualizations based on music I'm making, such as to create YouTube videos. Would I need only the Avenue VJ software to get started, or would I also need a second tool like Wire?
