planar_vector··on Show HN: Toivo – A Smarter Assistant
Great question. We've implemented a series of extensible hallucination guardrails that are hyper focused on task completion, to deal with various error states, and ultimately get the user to what they wanted complete in the final stages. While AgentE and Skyvern are great platforms that ease the setup of task completion agents, they still lack in being able to get a simple task done. I've tried multiple times to book a restaurant on skyvern and AgentE, but the agents never got to completion. We've approached this very differently with Toivo.
planar_vector··on Show HN: Advanced LLM Voice Mode but on your own database
We overlay the schema and your query history to develop a strong understanding of the underlying data using multiple foundational and custom AI models. This helps us better interpret a question and show relevant results as a visualization. Sometimes we don't get it right, but have measures in place to let a user provide additional context to get to the right results.

Hi, author here. Forgot to mention in the post that it's on the iOS app store here --> https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zing-datagpt-data-viz-ai/id156...
planar_vector··on Don't close your MacBook with a cover over the camera
Can someone help me understand the extent of possible damage by having a webcam cover? This might at least inform me if its worth the risk.

When Apple says "you might damage your display because the clearance between the display and keyboard is designed to very tight tolerances", do they mean?

- the display itself could have scratches?

- the display connector at the hinge has a chance of weakening?

- others?

Thanks for this comment, I'm empathetic and am in a similar boat. I'm curious if there are managers/companies out there that are expecting the same level of productivity from their staff during these times?

I for one expect lower productivity from my staff whether or not they have kids, and am adjusting delivery dates to account for this.

planar_vector··on Denmark: No aid for companies which pay out dividends or are reg. in tax havens
The list of EU defined tax havens is intentionally incomplete without including Ireland, Malta and Switzerland.

planar_vector··on Show HN: Hyperlogs – Easy time tracking
I think the website is pretty snazzy and is illustrative. Is this a WordPress template? If so, would you recommend any managed WordPress hosting site - WpEngine? Our performance on Siteground with Cloudflare has been less than stellar.
planar_vector··on Red Hat to Acquire CoreOS
> Now they'll own the entire stack and have a great integration story for enterprises. Even though containers have been around 3+ year's in the form of docker, corporations still don't have a scooby on how to integrate their existing deployment and development workflows.

I second this. If its a legacy stack, enterprises struggle to fully containerize their apps and commit to deploying with a container orchestration layer like OpenShift or Kubernetes. IMHO, we need more enterprises to get over this barrier, than view it as a passion project by over eager devops' teams...

planar_vector··on Equifax C.E.O. Richard Smith Retires After Huge Data Breach
I'd add that the vitriol against Equifax partly arises from everyone's distaste of CRA's (credit reporting agencies) owing to their magic 8 ball scheme of ranking credit. There may also be some reserved anti-sub-prime sentiment that lingers from 2008.

At the very least, I hope this will cause lenders and credit reporters to take data security very seriously.
