  :house_with_garden: Home Assistant Supervisor (by home-assistant)

  

Project mention: The Home Assistant Green is here | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-17

I recently discovered the home-assistant supervisor [0] repository. It's awesome to see such a well-designed, mature, and actively maintained open-source python application. I've found that there's no shortage of high quality python libraries and frameworks to learn from, but open-source applications aren't as common. I love coming across repos like this so I can study their design.

Project mention: Show HN: Phind Model beats GPT-4 at coding, with GPT-3.5 speed and 16k context | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-31

It's definitely not impossible at least.

Someone is doing it in python here:

https://pyatv.dev/

GPT-4 actually sent me here:

"Here is an example of a C# library that implements the HAP: CSharp.HomeKit (https://github.com/brutella/hkhomekit). You can use this library as a reference or directly use it in your project."

Which, to no surprise based on my experiences with LLMs for programming does not exist and doesn't seem to have ever existed.

I get that they aren't magic, but I guess I am just bad at trying to use LLMs to help in my programming. Apparently all I do are obscure things or something. Or I am just not good enough at prompting. But I feel like that's also a reflection of the weakness of an LLM in that it needs such perfect and specific prompting to get good answers.
