I've been using it with a couple of tools (like context7) as a documentation/helper, without giving it direct access to writing code, in marimo. it works great, albeit a little slow on my server (m1 max 64gb ram), at 8bit with omlx

problem is: without allowing it webUIs like synology won't work, since they require your browser to connect to the local network... as it is, it's not great

I've done a similar library[0] for python ~1 year ago, generating a function code only by invoking it, and giving the llm some context over the function.

Apart from the fun that I got out of it, it's been there doing nothing :D

that's not entirely true: if you look at the manifest on the github repo you can see that it only requires the `tab` permission, which, when installed, will make the extension seem quite safe, since it should not have access to the content of your pages

they say: `This also means that, unfortunately, the bug will not work on stable builds of Google Chrome since the release channel is set to the proper value there`

So it's only working on Chromium, a way smaller attack surface than the whole Chrome users

Heroku has been around for almost 20 years, Vercel was Zeit ~10 years ago, and they both have always been widespread solutions, I wouldn't say that that there is hype only now

I cannot vouch for laravel cloud or void, since I've never used them, nor I will comment on Deno/Bun since they are far more recent

Show HN: YRecombinator, a Pun Website

hello, I've come up with the silly yrecombinator pun and then I made this website

it randomly retrieves a made up startup built by combining two existing startups from ycombinator

it has access to 1000 generated startups

Show HN: Magic Top Hat, an infinite library for Python

grokkedit — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 07:05:05 +0000

Just for fun I wanted to write a library that generates the functions you import from it at runtime using the context in which you called them.

It's just a joke, but it proves what I was always afraid of: dunder methods are way too powerful and sometimes python seems to be broken because of it.

About southern blot there is more: it's a method used to find a specific DNA sequence in a DNA sample, and was named after its creator.

When a similar method was invented that applies to RNA, was of course named Southern.

When the one for proteins was invented, was named Western.

grokkedit — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 12:54:41 +0000

you're completely right. but most italians will never admit it, shunning all of the alternatives.

the strange thing is, we are used to different grapes varieties that are used to produce different wines, and everyone knows which tomato goes in a sandwich, which ones are better in a caprese, which for tomato sauce. but we are all fine with not knowing which kind of coffee we drink, and not knowing how it was treated...

that's why in Italy it's really rare to find someone that drinks coffee as it is, usually we add either sugar (or honey) or milk in order to mask the fact that coffee here tastes too burnt and bitter.

only in the past few years specialty coffee is starting to appear in the bigger cities, and I'm finally getting used to drink coffee after a whole life of tea with milk and the occasional macchiato caldo (espresso with a dash of hot milk), unless when abroad

grokkedit — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 12:28:13 +0000

you can remove the `prima` from the italian version: it's implied by the use of past tense and it sounds really bad in italian. if you want to emphasize the `before`, you can use: `ha già detto addio troppe volte` instead
