  • 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...

    Aren't there quite a few of these? Scratch or its cousin Snap (https://snap.berkeley.edu/snap/snap.html), or even a visual flow editor for React (https://app.flowhub.io/#project/c111454c9fd2f74d37d1e8a4e739...) or the similar https://retejs.org/

    It's litegraph.js [1] and seems to be the only lib they include in /web [2] :

  • orange

    🍊 :bar_chart: :bulb: Orange: Interactive data analysis

    • Project mention: Hierarchical Clustering | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-20

    I know I've tooted its horn before, but Orange3 is a pretty neat Python-based GUI platform that makes this and a metric buttload of other statistical/ML techniques available to non-programmer types.

    Just watch out for null character `x00` in the corpus. That always seems to kill it stone dead.

    • Project mention: On the importance to make games during the game engine's development | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-27

    That's the path I took with Polygonjs ( https://polygonjs.com ), and a game I've just released ( https://polyreplay.com/minesweepertwist ), with more coming shortly.

    But it didn't start like that. It only started as a tool I could use to deliver client projects, as I was trying to become a freelance for interactive 3D scenes for the web.

    Project after project ( some examples here: https://polygon-lab.com/ ), I could improve Polygonjs. Then I found clients who would be interested enough to buy licenses, and would give valuable feedback which would help the project grow even more.

    And a few clients asking for not just interactive sites, but also games. This pushed Polygonjs further, and after several games released, it definitely qualifies as a game engine.

    So this is generally an advice I give to people who want to become freelancers. Build a tool that solves a problem in your space, as this gives you an edge, and you'll also get the chance to confront that tool to reality, which will help it - and you - grow. This becomes a virtuous circle very quickly.
