<p>I am building a tool to manage your image generation inference. It uses ComfyUI as the backend and it allows you to index, search and invoke your workflows.<p>It makes it super easy to using existing workflows to chain them together into more complex outputs.<p>All of this withouts nodes.<p>Early release is out here:  <a href="https://github.com/svenhimmelvarg/kaleidoscope" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/svenhimmelvarg/kaleidoscope</a></p>

<p>I agree with you but the main thing g here, IMO, is the friction with all the alternatives you mention in getting something working.<p>For example, I've never heard of Automator. I'm familiar with Zapier, I'll have to evaluate the two situations, then I'll find out that might need to find an alternative that runs on Linux and then I'll have to check if....<p>These are all simple steps but they all use a non-trivial amount of time for the problem their solving<p>The other thing is the</p>

<p>If you don't have the experience you can't provide it with stylistic guidance, or idiomatic patterns or provide examples to direct it.<p>This leads to the idea that LLMs with existing languages can't really learn new idiomatic patterns.<p>For new engineers I think new paradigms will emerge that invalidate the need to know the current set of design patterns and idioms. Look at the resurgence of unit tests or the new interests in verification systems.</p>

<p>Moved onto Niri yesterday after having to reinstall my PopOS and it just clicked. Like i3wm did all those years ago.<p>I can focus for hours on end and spend zero mental energy on resizing a window. I had less of that with i3wm but you had to always readjust after a few windows were tiled to your workspace.  That final bit of cognitive overload was removed with Niri.<p>EDIT: 
Spec: RTX 3090, Pop OS 24.04 (beta), 4K 43" Monitor,<p>Niri Installed from cargo build, super easy install, make sure you install xwayland-satellite so that you can run VS Code, Obsidian, Zoom, Blender  and other strictly X11 applications</p>

<p>Harbor has its pain points but it is infinitely easier to get up and running compared to crufty Artifactory.<p>One glaring omission is lack of support for proxy docker.io without the project name i.e pulling nginx:latest instead of /myproject/nginx/nginx:latest<p>The workaround involves URL rewrite magic in your proxy of choice</p>

<p>get work done, look younger and slice off the first 5 years of your experience because it is "not relevant". 
I look about 10-12 years younger so I am able to slip under the radar but it makes me wonder how my peers who look visibly their age fare?

<p>Go is great for concurrency. Not quite there for agent support. The problem isn't performance or message passing it's the agent middleware i.e logging, tracing, retries, configuration<p>You need a DSL either supported in the language or through configuration. These are features you get for free in python and secondly JavaScript. You have to write most of this yourself in go</p>

<p>I'd probably check this out in my home lab but as a corporate user the offering of discord as a support channel makes me nervous.<p>Discord is predominately blocked on a corporate networks. Artifactory ( & Nexus) are very common in corporate environments. Corporate proxies are even more common. This is why I'd hesitate. These are common use cases (albeit corporate) that may not be readily available in the docs.</p>

<p>I'm not sure what the rush is. Do we have to make it profitable now? 2 years is not a long time. The point has been made elsewhere by other commentators about the dot-com bubble and how long that took for trillion dollar industries to form. It sounds like his gripe with Altman's hype narrative has soley informed his somewhat negative view on LLMs as a whole.<p>I find it interesting that he almost equates OpenAI === LLMs and misses the fact that the hype is not purely industry driven. For instance, the number of machine learning papers in the last year has quite literally doubled.<p>This is also typical of an Americentric view on innovation that we don't report on the quiet revolution happening in education in underdeveloped countries that are a direct result of the accessibility of this unprofitable technology.<p>I don't think we need killer application right now<p>We also forget the internet bubble happend first<p>I think the author is looking at LLMs through the lens of Sam Altman's hype narrative and I wonder why we care so much that</p>

<p>It's all kinda hidden. The documentation steers you towards SSR or assumes it. It appears as though you can't have client side routing without a roundtrip to the server. Take a looked at the "page" documentation immediately under Routing.<p>How do I serve svelte files using a python or golang backend and still have client side routing? These should have a fairly straightforward answer but I don't think they do.</p>
