    on the off chance one hasn't been tracking it, there were several "we don't need your stinking BuSL" projects when this drama first started:

    https://github.com/opentofu#why-opentofu (Terraform)

    https://github.com/openbao/openbao#readme (Vault)

    and I know of several attempts at Vagrant <https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/forks> but I don't believe one of them has caught traction yet

    There are also some who have talked about an "open Nomad" but since I don't play in that space I can't speak to it

  • Project mention: alacritty-themes not working any more!!! | dev.to | 2024-01-07
  • Node RED

  • 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...

    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.

  • 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.

We'll explore how to retrieve and extract detailed product data such as titles, prices, image URLs, and more from Amazon's vast marketplace. We'll also discuss handling potential blocking issues that may arise during the scraping process.
