  • Node RED

    Low-code programming for event-driven applications

  • Project mention: Devin, the First AI Software Engineer | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-12

    Good question.

    I expect that we're moving into a phase of AIs talking to AIs, and initially it'll be wasteful (because it'll be mostly English), but eventually, they'll derive their own language and seamlessly upgrade protocols when they determine they're talking to an AI. No clue how that will come about or what that language will look like, but honestly, it's kind of exciting.

    Really interesting to think about how they might handle context, as well. Even though we have much bigger context windows (and they'll only get larger), context management is still a resource-management issue, which we'll probably continue to refine, as well. Imagine different strategies for managing both what is brought into the context of each request, as well as what form it could take (level of detail, additional references or commentary on it, etc). Things could get really unreadable even in English, and still be very interpretable for an LLM.

    W.r.t. the graph-oriented interfaces, are you thinking something like Node-RED [1]? I'm seeing more and more people mention having LLMs produce non-text or structured outputs, like JSON, UI, and other things. Easy to imagine an LLM that wires together various open-source platforms, on-demand. Something like Node-RED for pipelines/functions, some UI tools for visualization/interactivity, other platforms for messaging, etc...

  • Project mention: Rabbit R1, Designed by Teenage Engineering | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-09

    It's indeed suspicious. You're sending your voice samples, your various services accounts, your location and more private data to some proprietary black box in some public cloud. Sorry, but this is a privacy nightmare. It should be open source and self-hosted like Mycroft (https://mycroft.ai) or Leon (https://getleon.ai) to be trustworthy.

  • crawlee

    Crawleeโ€”A web scraping and browser automation library for Node.js to build reliable crawlers. In JavaScript and TypeScript. Extract data for AI, LLMs, RAG, or GPTs. Download HTML, PDF, JPG, PNG, and other files from websites. Works with Puppeteer, Playwright, Cheerio, JSDOM, and raw HTTP. Both headful and headless mode. With proxy rotation.

  • Project mention: Scrapy Vs. Crawlee | dev.to | 2024-05-15

    Crawlee is one of the few web scraping and automation libraries that supports JavaScript and TypeScript. Crawlee supports CLI just like Scrapy, but it also provides pre-built templates in TypeScript and JavaScript with support for Playwright and Puppeteer. These templates help beginners to quickly understand the file structure and how it works.

  • robotjs

    Node.js Desktop Automation.

  • Project mention: Painless CLI integration testing | dev.to | 2024-01-10

    If we talk about the first approach, the following approaches will be useful: Nodejs Child Process: write to stdin from an already initialised process, RobotJS. It makes sense to note here that the approaches above are rather for e2e testing than integration.

  • hammerspoon

    Staggeringly powerful macOS desktop automation with Lua

  • Project mention: Show HN: NotesOllama โ€“ I added local LLM support to Apple Notes (through Ollama) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-21

    Another option for hacking something like this together could be HammerSpoon. Iโ€™ve spent some time with it, but havenโ€™t tried integrating with Apple Notes, I mostly did stuff at the file system level to keep it easy.
