Not too different from how SEO ends. Just spammy content written by bots.

Agree... while there are valuable and interesting notions in the article the final conclusion and the so-called curated friction is just too stretched for me.

Love it! This is a very useful tool to provide me with introductory (but granular enough) information about new investment ideas that I have.

Just two cents based on my usual workflow --

1. I like to compare companies within the same industry, so it would be good if i can ask follow up questions after reading a report like "How does company Y compare with company X on XX metrics?"

2. I understand that the reports are generated by a model; if that is true, maybe you could cross-reference the fillings with their corresponding earnings call transcripts (should be available for free on many investment websites) and highlight what is being discussed/asked in the calls as well

Again, thank you for the great work. Already pinned your site to my browser's investment workspace XD

One danger is that, from a macroeconomics view, GDP growth can be attained without any regard for natural unemployment rates. When technology, controlled by capital, drives up markup on wages by displacing human labor and killing competition, then natural unemployment will rise, but the economy can still "thrive," from a statistical perspective. But it is individual persons being ignored by statistics. Indeed a grim future.

Show HN: Print-less debugging of Python code

kkaatii — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 12:10:17 +0000

I got roasted bad on r/Python for posting this toy project so I wanted to see broader responses.

pled is a library that traces your Python program's execution with zero instrumentation code.

Just run your module/function using pled's executor and it will collect runtime data at special tracepoints like function entry, exit, etc. and generate a report in JSON or sequence diagram.

It's like pdb/logging/PySnooper without bothering you to set up and clean up debug code.

And when working with people it's fairly easy to intervene and improve when needed. I think the current working model with LLMs is definitely suboptimal when we cannot confine their solution space AND where they should apply a solution precisely, and timely.

I think when one experiences enough odds in their favor, they begin to disregard indications of prior probabilities that aren't in their favor.

The sub-issue structure seems much better than Jira's approach where everything has to fit into a hierarchy. Then it becomes hard to align on the definition of a certain level in the hierarchy.

This create-a-subissue-when-needed way is more sensible.

I built this because I don't want to spend time scrolling through Reddit and other Social Media aimlessly every morning. Hornbill creates personalized newscasts based on your interests, and delivers them to your inbox every morning.

It's completely free, but there may be quirks. Please bear with Hornbill, he's still learning about the human world...

Show HN: Spaceport – Low-code tool that executes specs as tests

kkaatii — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 14:41:39 +0000

This is still a proof-of-concept but criticism and comments are very welcome.

I was fed up (and also very inexperienced) writing system and end-to-end tests so I made this. The implementation is a bit convoluted but the basic idea is:

1. An LLM writes the specs based on READMEs, design docs, references, etc.

2. Another LLM turns specs into a Python DSL

3. An interpreter runs the DSL

You may review and edit the outputs of step 1 and 2 in one text file, and fill in necessary info to properly set up the tests (like describing how data should be validated when the data schema is an implementation detail).

Comparison:

- vs. Cucumber/Gherkin - Unlike Cucumber, (ideally) you write minimal code with Spaceport

- vs. Unit/integration tests - This is not a replacement but a complement because unit and integration tests are cumbersome to write in natural language--lots of rigid actions and data schemas
