This makes sense if you think models will continue their current architecture and will always generate random predictions full of hallucinations. I see the next leap forward in SOA models with someone finding the right way to architect a Logic engine and a Knowledge engine necessary to implement the Provability Fabric you propose. In short, I would say a knowledge kind of bloom filter should weed out factual hallucinations, while a logic one will solve the "how many Rs in strawberry" problem.
Most likely a SOA model will implement a kind of provability fabric to set up guaranteed output rails. But if we implement this today, for example, let's say we tell a model to classify input into one of 3 set categories, the PF will guarantee the model will only output one of those three options, but it can still "hallucinate" by picking a bad category using faulty logic, breaking the rules, etc.
I don't mean to be rude, but I don't get how this is any better. Feels too manual to type "uv -add dep script.py" instead, I feel the automation tool I'm waiting for will scan my script, auto-import all the deps I'm calling in the script while ignoring the ones that I forget to use, AND set up the env with all the deps AND run the code in the same one liner. To me, uv add X is no different than running env/pip install requirements.txt.

I started working out without a trainer a few months ago as well as doing rehab for a nasty shoulder tear. Today I see the benefit of targeting precise muscles and muscle groups, unlike other beginners in this thread.
One feature request I'd add to the pipeline is to filter exercises available by Gym. Planet Fitness is ironically super unfriendly to beginners and limited in what they offer. People could add the exercises available at their gym and grow the database. Conversely, this could help beginner home gymmers plan what machines / weights to buy to maximize their routine.
This looks great. Regarding the taglines and copy being confusing for some, I understood it, but I have some suggestions:
Instead of saying what it is, say what it does (for the user). For example instead of 'Offline-first API Client'..., try "Document your API, test it, and version it using Git 100% locally and free in a modern GUI. Voiden even includes a terminal so you can execute any command or custom workflow without ever leaving the app. (OSS release coming soon)". Remember, show, dontt tell.
My experience with PG ended a few years ago. The thing that killed PG for me is the lack of collation for searches. I haven't tested since the last updates that mentioned something along these lines, so this may have improved.
PG for years relied on unaccent which is not a true solution as it requires manually storing two versions of a text (the original and the un-accented one) and handle indexes + searches manually for each field... Not to mention unaccent itself is an extension you have to install. Whereas collation is built-in and it just works by handling it all under the hood in SQL Server. This feature alone is worth switching databases for my use cases.
HR enthusiast entrepreneur here too. HR is a MASSIVE universe of fields such as Recruiting, Training, Policy & Procedures, Payroll, Staffing Needs Studies, Scheduling (future), Workforce Distribution (live scheduling), Workforce Management (KPIs from past performance), sometimes Roles & Permissions, not to mention being a system of record for critical business ops.
I'm sketching out a project that will cover many of these and I've developed similar projects before. If you need ideas, feel free to reach out. contactme at myuser.com
Disclaimer: I've never believed in your product or any similar tool neither as a dev, analyst or manager (10 YOE). I think they're useful for CS competitions, clubs and so forth, but overall I see it the same way people good at Excel or Chess win competitions but that doesn't make them good analysts/devs/employees.
IMO there is a huge gap in the market for facilitating in-person interviews that no tool has really exploited yet.
I want to try Ruby since the news of Rails 8 came out, but it's been so difficult that I just gave up. Installing Ruby on Mac and Windows and actually getting the 3.3 version required for Rails 8 was a huge mission and test of patience because every installer defaulted to older versions of both Ruby and Rails even one month after the release. And yes, even Docker required tweaking to get the versions and I had issues with devContainers anyway...
I finally got it installed and then followed some tutorials only to see that Rails' html.erb files have completely broken syntax highlighting in VSCode and other editors. I facepalmed and though I tried to search for a fix online, I couldn't find one. I saw posts mentioning it in forums and yet not a single solution posted.
So I gave up. I tried in Mac, Windows and Linux. If someone here knows how to fix the broken highlighter, that can be my Christmas gift today, but for the most part I've moved on.
Skeptic here. How can you validate the difference in effort from a startup where growth happens in explosive moments with many rewrites in between vs a refined enterprise codebase with incremental changes? Is it productive if I have tried many changes in branches and none of them made it to prod?
Game wise- a Scrabble that allows custom dictionaries made by the community to allow bilinguals to shine and use the findings for linguistics / sociology research (words removed vs words added, trends, measure new language acquisition from influencers, etc.).
Been a pet project idea of mine since the pandemic but never got around to it. I saw the new Rails framework is out and thought of starting this idea to learn Ruby.
I didn't work with election data but I dealt with Data brokers and they worked both ways. They offered API as a service access or a single bulk download for special pricing. I was surprised how relatively cheap it was considering all the data they offered.
