Show HN: I built a LLM-aware proxy server in Golang
Hey HN,

I recently worked on a retail recommendations app and needed a unified workflow for logging and caching. Most solutions I found were either reliant on monkey patching, difficult to deploy, or too expensive. So, I built a simple stand-alone proxy server that runs on my laptop. It helps me debug, track costs, and collect traffic for model fine-tuning.

I've been developing this proxy for several months, and a few friends are already using it. I'm looking to scale it up and would love feedback from the community. Please share your thoughts, questions, or comments.
Could you recommend a good paper on the topic?
I think the same principles apply. I would argue the second point that value's metaphors allows. Demonstrates how malleable the technique is.

It is not how it works, yet it is true.

Here in France, the people have only one political right : give up all the power to other people (from a preselected list). Said people will then do whatever the hell they want.

So, while we accept that deal when we vote, the fact is that we do not vote for the actual things.
This smacks of the infinite growth fallacy.
We have that habit in the small company I work too, and it’s great. It does not scale indeed, and it only works if, outside of those, you only have very few meetings, but I enjoy having this more humane and organic connection with my coworkers

3. Drag the cell you created in step 2 to the right. The cell on the bottom right gets pushed downwards, below the grid's lower boundary.

I agree. I want to help save python from its packaging problems because it has so much traction out there (for good reason). People in this forum might be ok jumping ship to rust or whatever but most python users are students, scientists, business types... They're not going to learn rust and I don't think we benefit from leaving them behind.

I wish there was a standard interface that tools like pip could use to express their non-python needs such that some other tool can meet those needs and then hand the baton back to pip once they are met. Poetry2nix is an example of such a collaboration. (I'm not trying to be a nix maximalist here, it's just that it's familiar).

The python community is large enough to attempt to go it alone, but many other language communities are not. I think we'd see faster language evolution if we asked less of them from a packaging perspective:

> focus on making the language great. Provide a way to package deps in that language, and use _____ to ask for everything else.

Apt and brew and snap and whatever else (docker? K8s?) could be taught to handle such requests in a non alter-your-whole-system kind of way.
Sadly, the constant term (the average r_0) is never specified in the paper (it seems to be something in the neighborhood of 180?): getting that right is necessary to produce the image, and I can't see any way not to consider it a fifth necessary parameter. So I don't think they've genuinely accomplished their goal.

(Seriously, though, this was a lot of fun!)
Parentheses in lisp are a lot like significant indentation (Python, Haskell, etc), in that people tend to complain about it "from afar". It is only once they start actually using the language to develop something nontrivial, that they realize that you quickly stop noticing the syntax entirely.
bait. they are to decide if those NFTs were issued in a securities transaction

asset types themselves are not securities and neither a judge or the regulator is trying to decide that. transactions involving those assets can be securities and are tightly regulated.

some assets are standardized and only issued in a specific set of transactions 100% of the time, such that its redundant to call them anything other than securities. for assets that aren't standardized, the sequence of transactions has to be analyzed to determine if that set of transactions constituted a securities transaction.

this can be corroborated by how the courts have been reaching the conclusion that crypto asset's primary market (the initial sell or distribution from the creator to purchasers) has to be treated different from the secondary market trading (where the prices are listed on exchanges and fluctuate all day, everyday, which attracts most headlines and mindshare).

clarity from Congress about what level of consumer and investor protection is desired is what's really lacking here. The "securities" framework doesn't do that.

No, it is likely the rate of return. There is generally no such mention of inflation in investment returns. The alternative to investing your dollar is to put it in a treasury (inflation tracked), so you can compare the value of your money against that as the lowest risk (the US defaulting) vs. other forms of risk.

Interesting problem to think about. The beauty of modular for me has always been that you can take voltage from literally anywhere and use it for CV. Modern modules also have an insane variety in controls and control surfaces, even for standard things like VCOs you have a ton of variety and featuresets. Saving the patch state is one thing but actually notating is crazy. Like I can't imagine someone being able to read this notation and play it accurately like someone sight reading a piano piece. You'd surely require familiarity with the setup ahead of time. As for recording it for posterity, being verbose and describing what you're doing in full works, I guess.

IIUC:

A real-parameter (r(theta) = sum(r_k cos(k theta))) Fourier series can only draw a "wiggly circle" figure with one point on each radial ray from the origin.

A compex parameter (z(theta) = sum(e^(z_ theta))) can draw more squiggly figures (epicycles) -- the pen can backtrack as the drawing arm rotates, as each parameter can move a point somewhere on a small circle around the point computed from the previous parameter (and recursively).

Since a complex parameter is 2 real parameters, we should compare the best 4-cosine curve to the best 2-complex-exponential curve.

One quote that I find funny from today’s point of view:

As we approach the present, corresponding to a personal computer, the graph really should become more complicated since one consequence of computers becoming super-cheap is that increasingly, they are being embedded in other equipment. The modern automobile is but one example. And it remains to be seen how general-purpose the current wave of palm-sized computers will be with their stylus inputs.
This is not answering the question.
This article seems misleading. Is it just me?

"As a byproduct of digesting this biomatter, the black soldier fly larvae produce frass, which is essentially insect waste."

"Even with 0% frass, he saw flowering and pod growth in plants potted entirely in Martian soil."

"Mendoza found that exceeding anything greater than 50% frass would destroy the plant's ability to grow but adding 10% frass to the Martian soil was the optimum amount for plant growth."

There's no information on growth rate delta between 0% and 10%.

I expected this article to say that plants do not grow naturally in Martian soil, but that the frass provides sufficient nutrients for them to grow. Instead, I learned that plants do grow in natural (simulated?) Martian soil, that an amendment helps an undefined amount, but that too much of the amendment kills the plants. I didn't find that especially compelling.

There are indeed some similarities. I was influenced by SuperCollider (SC). One of my master's graduation projects was a system based on SC: https://github.com/chaosprint/Packing. Both SC and Glicol are written in low-level languages—SC in C++ and Glicol in Rust. Inspired by SC's reusable scsynth, I created glicol_synth as an independent audio library.

However, their syntax differs greatly. Glicol's syntax is designed for live coding, prioritizing simplicity and readability and it's actually partially inspired by modular synth(for example: https://glicol.org/demo#minitechno and https://glicol.org/tour#fm), while SC's syntax inherits from Smalltalk, adhering to standard OOP. SC's ecosystem is mature, offering GUI development, various sound processing methods, and robust multi-channel support. In contrast, Glicol's sound processing is still very minimal and experimental. Once the basic architecture, like multi-channel and audio graph handling, is established, adding sound processing modules will be linear.

Additionally, Glicol's support for both browser and CLI is a highlight.

There is no way to manage non-hosted dependencies, though, in a cross-platform way. Something attempting it is often worse than nothing, on a distro that has different assumptions — e.g. every package manager that downloads a dynamic executable will fail on NixOS, and gives no easy way to hook into how those get executed.

A YC Company is no different than any Business when it comes to failures. Once it has failed, it will either sell its "assets" (very commonly known as Asset Sale), do an acqui-hire or just fold completely because no one wants to buy even their "assets".

I personally was involved in trying to acquire a failed YC product (wont call it company by that time) that was already sold earlier by original founders and the previous buyer was reselling because he couldn't do anything with it. We didn't agree on a price so I walked. At that time, it was already listed for a much smaller value than what a VC would like. Think really small like in the low hundreds of thousands, forget millions.

I also have spoken to a previous YC founder whose startup failed and they basically got acqui-hired and he was really unhappy with how everything turned out. No one remembers their brand name.

As few other comments have already pointed, brand names are overrated especially for failed companies. No one remembers that name because they weren't popular to begin with. Its not like every YC company has a well known brand. Far from it especially nowadays when YC funds so many.

I get enough matches and interesting conversations. It's moving that conversation to a different medium that is problematic when they want to see "who you are" first and you have no Facebook to show them, and even not Whatsapp to write to them.

Sure, the neighbors' cloud-connected doorcams reveal that too. Although I do enable airplane mode here and there while I'm still at my house whenever I don't want to be disturbed for a couple of hours, and I don't always remember to disable airplane mode the instant I walk through my front door, so that's not terribly clean signal for "he left the house at this time and returned at that."
That's funny, I too made a phone-buzzer app to watch Jeopardy with the in-laws.

Evolutionary pressure is such that, generally speaking, individuals who "stop there" are less successful than ones who always crave more. We are all descendants of those who were "obsessed" with: mating, hoarding, conquering and yes, finding patterns and fundamental properties.
I see you claim that, but unless I misunderstanding that completely contradicts our claim here:

> A very common example is the historically necessary boilerplate in Java’s Hello World, where quite a few concepts are present but handwaved away as you don’t need to worry about this now.

What I'm saying is exactly that. Handwave past all of the boilerplate like the static declaration and only focus on the most important to learn up front (ex what a string is).

Could you explain how your statement of initially teching the boilerplate is the same as my statement of ignoring it?

In my example, the entire time they are working with strings or readline/writeline method calls they are entirely ignoring what a static/class/args all mean and they are just boiler plate they have to type until they get to that stage in later lessons.
I wouldn't call it bait. That's the nature of case law. If they decide these NFTs are Securities, then given their criteria, other NHTs can be securities. If they use the Howey test then they are also deciding that is the proper test for this scenario. Spoiler: They did decide on the Howey test and also against Draft Kings.

When I was in high school in the mid 80s I was in the av club and we filmed things for local access cable. We made a jeopardy game on a Commodore 64 and converted a joystick into three buttons with latches to prevent ties. We broadcast three episodes and had the most feedback to the local paper of any local access tv show. We were proud. Fun to still see kids doing this.

This is the right take. There’s a lot here we don’t know and tyranny is the deliberate removal of nuance. We have none of the nuance right now. But I fear that even when we do, nobody will care. Because isn’t that kind of the current state of affairs on pretty much every issue?
So, for SURE it is possible to beat "the market", but:

- strategy is limited up to max 1mio per account (well, maybe 2 pr 3)

- you need a tailored software, tools like MT/et al wont help you

- with a leverage of 5-10, its possible to achieve gigantic returns

- system needs to be capable of going short as well

- your individual application should abstract-away all dauly charting&news noise: what counts is statistics and propability only, do not check CNN et al

EDIT:
- this approach cant be done by ANY institutional corp due to regulations, so they are not doing it
I want to agree with you, except that almost all of the salescritters for these products promote them as "beating the market." They _have_ to sell them this way because if their customers had any idea what the whole-market returns actually were, they wouldn't pay extra for the privilege of a far riskier (and lower-performing, on average) investment.

And the S&P 500 returns more like 10% per year. A bit higher if you cherry-pick your start and stop dates. I've only seen people use 7% for portfolio value estimation purposes, after adjusting for an assumed 3% inflation.
"Well regulated" is in the prefatory, not the operative clause. The salient wording of the operative clause is, in part, "the right of the people".
That’s not really “the definition”. Different type systems can express different properties about objects, and there are absolutely cases that something changes about a type.

E.g. in structural typing, adding a new field will change the type to a subtype. Will it make any structural typed language non-static?

This is humorous (and well-written), but I think its more than that.

I'm always making the joke (observation) that ML (AI) is just curve-fitting. Whether "just curve-fitting" is enough to produce something "intelligent" is, IMO, currently unanswered, largely due to differing viewpoints on the meaning of "intelligent".

In this case they're demonstrating some very clean, easy-to-understand curve-fitting, but it's really the same process -- come up with a target, optimize over a loss function, and hope that it generalizes, (this one, obviously, does not. But the elephant is cute.)

This raises the question Neumann was asking -- why have so many parameters? Ironically (or maybe just interestingly), we've done a lot with a ton of parameters recently, answering it with "well, with a lot of parameters you can do cool things".
Right!

Not always, Go programmers for example often forget that they need C build-tools for their platform to get Make.

It's also just about the furthest thing from simple, the language is nasty so people just use it as an executor, which is a lot of tooling for such a simple use-case.

This is a kind of revisionism that mostly took off after Warren Buffet won his bet that hedge funds would not outperform the market over a 10 year time period.

The original goal and selling point of hedge funds was to produce consistent results regardless of the market's performance by using long and short positions to provide absolute returns in any market environment.

With that said, even if you accept the revisionism, it's untrue that actively managed funds are uncorrelated with the market. What is true is that selection bias makes it seem like they are since when interest rates rise and markets go through a down swing, the majority (and yes I mean more than 50%) of hedge funds go out of business. As such the only hedge funds that remain are the ones that happened to weather the storm so to speak.
