wbakst··on Show HN: Mirascope – The LLM Anti-Framework
the only magic is how magical it feels to be in control
wbakst··on Show HN: Mirascope – The LLM Anti-Framework
This means a lot! I'm glad our philosophy in how we've decided to engineer Mirascope has come through so clearly!

We have so much in the works

wbakst··on Show HN: Mirascope – The LLM Anti-Framework
Thank you!!
wbakst··on Show HN: Mirascope – The LLM Anti-Framework
TypeScript coming so soon
wbakst··on Show HN: Mirascope – The LLM Anti-Framework
we're aiming for the neatest :)
wbakst··on Show HN: Mirascope – The LLM Anti-Framework
Hi! I'm William Bakst, one of the co-authors of Mirascope. We're really excited about what we've built in this v2 release. Any and all feedback is welcome with open arms :)

Some useful links:

- [LLM Docs](https://mirascope.com/docs/learn/llm)

- [Why Mirascope](https://mirascope.com/docs/why)

- [Mirascope Quickstart](https://mirascope.com/docs/quickstart)

actually insane you have this domain that's amazing

wbakst··on Show HN: I built a free SVG Web site
thanks for sharing!
wbakst··on Show HN: I built a free SVG Web site
honestly the issue was not that it couldn't produce an SVG

it's that it wasn't good and i couldn't get it to really match my style

i feel like the midjourney flow has more potential because of your very first point -- starting with an SVG

wbakst··on Show HN: I built a free SVG Web site
it would be super cool if there were a way for users to create their own SVGs using your flow -- these look great!

i was just playing around with SVGs yesterday and was wishing there were an easy-to-use tool out there for fiddling around. i couldn't get chatgpt 4.5 to get it quite right and ultimately abandoned it in favor of something premade

wbakst··on With AI you need to think bigger
it's interesting, it feels like less needing to think much bigger and more so that we're now able to accept that much bigger ideas we've been thinking about are far more feasible.

that's so cool. all those grand ideas that felt so far away are right here ready to grasp and realize.

wbakst··on Show HN: Can I run this LLM? (locally)
lol words out of my mouth
wbakst··on Show HN: Anki-like flashcards for non tech-savvy users (language learning)
yes yes yes i am going to play around with this i'm excited to try it out

even as a more tech savvy person this looks awesome

wbakst··on Show HN: I Scraped 2,200 Software Engineering Jobs from Career Pages Using LLMs
yay! excited to play around with it
wbakst··on QwQ-32B: Embracing the Power of Reinforcement Learning
actually insane how small the model is. they are only going to get better AND smaller. wild times
wbakst··on Show HN: I Scraped 2,200 Software Engineering Jobs from Career Pages Using LLMs
seems to work!

still want an open-ended fuzzy search bar though

wbakst··on Stone Soup AI (2024)
i like this so much

"stone soup" could be seen as a trick (to get the villagers to provide that which they were previously unwilling), but i like that it's multiple different villagers who provide individual ingredients -- it's the coming together of everyone and their individual contributions that ultimately makes the soup so good

wbakst··on RoboPianist: Dexterous Piano Playing with Deep Reinforcement Learning (2023)
the fact that the failure modes come from limitations of the robotic hands is super interesting
wbakst··on Material Theme has been pulled from VS Code's marketplace
original link here is now broken
wbakst··on Show HN: VaniSSH – generate vanity public keys
i feel like this could be useful for automatically organizing keys you generate for users with a simple string match
wbakst··on Show HN: I Scraped 2,200 Software Engineering Jobs from Career Pages Using LLMs
oh things like languages, tech stack, more specifics around role, etc.
wbakst··on Show HN: I Scraped 2,200 Software Engineering Jobs from Career Pages Using LLMs
mostly just in the UI like a free form fuzzy search so I could look for more specific things rather than the drop down select
wbakst··on Reality has a surprising amount of detail (2017)
it's quite a good read, i'm not surprised it's been posted so many times!
wbakst··on Show HN: I Scraped 2,200 Software Engineering Jobs from Career Pages Using LLMs
cool stuff! I wish there were a fuzzy search / filter bar to make it easier to search for more specific things.

I'm also curious, what are you using to structure the outputs?

wbakst··on Show HN: Tetris Variant in a Rotating / Flipping Square
got it. with the holes collapsing during the rotation, i found it very difficult to leave gaps
wbakst··on Show HN: Tetris Variant in a Rotating / Flipping Square
is it possible to lose?
wbakst··on Show HN: SQL Noir – Learn SQL by solving crimes
I love the updates! Side-by-side is great, the graph view is great. Awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing.
wbakst··on Show HN: SQL Noir – Learn SQL by solving crimes
I like that way of thinking about it!
wbakst··on Show HN: SQL Noir – Learn SQL by solving crimes
Love this! The style is unique and awesome.

I see the beginnings of a really fun way to learn / practice / remember SQL.

A few notes:

- Would be cool if it was a single workspace (no tabs). Was constantly switching tabs back and forth.

- Saving previous SQL queries and results would be cool. I was copying results into the notes. Feel like this is important as things get more complex.

Excited to see where you take this!
