I love HN

This is exactly the right answer for people asking about BM on hacker news. 100% agreed

that's actually a great reason / explanation. TY

this is actually a great idea + reason

This is what HN is all about

V cool, this is a perfect llm use case

So many things these days I just love being an engineer rn - ai scheduling assistant - polymarket trading bots - ai assisted form filler - games my 6 y/o dreams up - openclaw workflows - and countless hackathon-y projects at work that never would have seen the light of day without my best friend Claude

This is spot on

Looked into this for my clawdbot, but ended up just using himalaya CLI connected to a new Gmail. Been working great so far - curious about what agentmail is better for

Tried the voice clone with a 30s trump clip (with reference text), and it didn't sound like him at all.

I once used Charles Proxy to change all the game configs for Candy Crush Saga on my phone back in 2013 by intercepting and replacing the API requests - I made all the puzzles have 1-2 colors and infinite powerups. I guess they didn't care much about the security because I ended up spending way more time in the game

Exactly

Gotta love HN, only popular site in world where a list of hex codes on a nicely formatted website gets to top ranking

They are when the only reason they are flagged as security updates is because some a single group deems a very rare, obscure edge case as a HIGH severity vuln when in practice it rarely is => this leads to having to upgrade a minor version of a library that ends up causing breaking changes.

This is the recent thread I'm down. Pandas 2.2 broke SQLalchemy backwards compatibility: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38332787/pandas-to-sql-t... + https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/57049#issuecomme...

You should try the arc agi puzzles yourself, and then tell me you think these things aren't intelligent

https://arcprize.org/blog/openai-o1-results-arc-prize

I wouldn't say it's full agi or anything yet, but these things can definitely think in a very broad sense of the word

I spent 10 hrs this week upgrading our pandas/snowflake libs to latest bc there was apparently a critical vulnerability in the version we used (which we need to fix bc a security cert we need requires us to fix these). The latest versions are not major upgrades, but completely changed the types of params accepted. Enormous waste of time delivering 0 value to our business

Nailed it

Like top comment, my first exposure to programming was basic on a ti-86 (better than 83, but quickly outdone by 84 shortly after)

My first program was doubly cheating, not only did I have a program for solving quadratic equation, but I copied the basic off the internet in true open src fashion

When I told my dad I copied code from internet, he was so disappointed and thought I had 0 skills. Now, we pip/npm/etc install anything and are heroes for choosing to "buy" not "build"

We're all on on https://www.sigmacomputing.com/ bc we don't like hosting/managing/provisioning essential tools like this + this seems more complicated to configured.

I would recommend a simpler setup like Metabase Docker (which I re-evaluated recently): https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/installation-and-operat...

Always happy to see new stuff on the block, but hard to leave pandas and python ecosystem for this

Not sure where this fits in to any workflow tbh, with sufficiently large datasets, you will inevitably need spark (which has same API as pandas)

Love Signal over Telegram, Wickr, etc.

This looks amazing, we have written a similar script for both our local dev dbs as well as our staging env. Would love MySQL support

I haven't used Codespaces, but how does this work with databases? A common problem we have during onboarding is getting your local database (MySQL) setup properly: run all the migrations => load some sample, de-identified, production-like data => update certain rows to allow for personal development (e.g. for our texting service, make sure you text your own phone number, instead of someone else's).

What's the workflow for this?

A related issue for us is being able to test another developer's pull request with database migrations without wiping out your current database state. Is there a Devpods workflow for this?

Client-only is the prime selling point for me. A common project for our engineers is building/updating data ETLs & reports off of sensitive healthcare data. Since our engineer's laptops are already fully configured and registered to handle this sort of data, we wouldn't have to worry about the security/tracking of each developer potentially sending this data to more places than it needs to be.

I thought this was an excellent read on receiving (but also giving) feedback: https://www.amazon.com/Thanks-Feedback-Science-Receiving-Wel...

Lots of discussions on where feedback might come from, what are the types of feedback (praise vs coaching vs evaluation), and how to incorporate (if needed)

I also want to echo the top comment here re:kudos on desire to improve

Is this different from pinecone?

This is my main q: are the writes replicated in real-time? Do the apps that just need read access have to repeatedly call 'restore'?

Looks v cool, but I feel like I'm missing a big part of the story, how do 2 app 'servers/process' connect to same sqlite/litestream db?

Do you 'init' (restore) the db from each app process? When one app makes a write, is it instantly reflected on the other app's local sqlite?
