Show HN: I made a simple agentic framework in JavaScript
Well, I wouldn't call it a framework, but rather an easy way to define tools and agents, allowing the agent to think and do the work.

- Currently supports Open AI, and DeepSeek models.

I tried building an HN title recommender agent with this framework that analyzes top-performing posts on HN and suggests titles for HN posts. And this was the agent's reply after inspecting 10 best posts:

Having analyzed the top 10 performing posts on Hacker News, we've observed that successful titles are often concise, intriguing, and sometimes provocative or impactful. They tend to evoke curiosity, highlight significant issues, or reveal unexpected information. Based on these insights and considering the unique nature of your GitHub repo, which introduces an agentic framework in JavaScript, here's a suggested title and message for your Hacker News post: Title: 'EnvoyJS: A New Frontier in JavaScript - Introducing Agentic Frameworks'

Old-school dimmer switches were rheostats, and they got hot.

Pretty much all dimmers now are TRIAC-based, which is a semiconductor that turns on partway through the AC wave, then turns off at the next zero-crossing, repeat. It chops the waveform so the light only gets power for a fraction of the time.

An incandescent bulb works largely the same with either type. (You may hear the filament "sing" on a TRIAC dimmer since the fast-rising waveform edge has a lot of harmonic content, but this is usually very faint.)

LED bulbs are non-dimmable by default. The typical job of a power supply is to ignore variations in the source and deliver uniform power to the load, and that's just what they do, driving the emitters at a constant brightness regardless of what the dimmer does, until it's letting through so little power that the poor thing just shuts off. Or flickers madly.

Dimmable LED bulbs are actually super tricky, because the power supply has to measure the distortions in the incoming waveform, interpret that as a dimming command, and use that to control the output to the emitters. Any jitter in the measurement sampling means the resulting brightness will bounce around. Any jitter in the waveform, which an incandescent might've ignored as long as the area-under-the-curve was equal, might be picked up by the LED power supply and misinterpreted as a changing dimming level.

It all sucks and we should abandon it immediately. LEDs should be driven with DC. But there's an awful lot of installed fixtures to keep us from that utopia.
These are so cool.
I think it's better to think of zoos and arboretums and sanctuaries as embassies than as conservation.

Except in the direst of circumstances, your connection with that experience of seeing an African Elephant is a much more potent predictor for survival of the species than the benefit of having the elephant here where poaching is nonexistent but gene inheritance is complicated and limited. The star power of the animals triggers positive steps and slows or stops negative ones.

There's a conservation group I was involved with who thought they were going to save the world with a half dozen acres of land. The longer I knew them the more I realized that some of them didn't mean it figuratively. I love them but that's deranged. Meanwhile I treated it the way I think of zoos. That first hand experience re-establishing a human connection with Nature. The first or second domino in a long series of dominoes.

Exactly as you say. AI is imagined to be the wealthy nepotist's escape pod from an equal playing field and democratized access to information. Win at all cost soulless predators who find infinite sacrifice somehow righteous love games like the ones that macro-scale AI creates.

The average person's utility from AI is marginal. But to a psychopath like Elon Musk who is interested in deceiving the internet about Twitter engagement or juicing his crypto scam, it's a necessary tool to create seas of fake personas.
I'm not aware of any triggers to cause subconscious blinking. That'd be fantastic if there was an option though.

The web app can trigger a notification if your blinks / minute drop too low. Only challenge is modern browsers throttle websites that aren't visible, so the blink counting gets messed up.
> wagon that pretends to be an suv

Yup. Perfect for light offroading without the SUV tax on maintenence or fuel economy. More importantly, there's a dealership in my town which means five minutes to servicing.

It's a car. It needs to drive.

It's mainly hardware upgrades (new TSMC nodes), training data quantity/quality improvements, and model architecture (and broader software) changes. Here's a fun project I've had my eye on recently: https://github.com/KellerJordan/modded-nanogpt/
I was all about Jekyll 4 or 5 years ago and wouldn't have considered spending time switching but now on modern hardware it is ridiculously difficult to get the jekyll runtime to install and run properly, we've had multiple team members myself included spend hours dealing with hunting down random forum posts or github pull requests outlining the need to downgrade ruby in one way or another to support apple silicon or some other such thing that hasn't been patched in more recent versions. And the Jekyll docker images have been abandoned for a few years and no longer work on arm architectures.

Hopefully moving to a more actively supported static site generator will benefit us but its also a lesson to us that we need to keep track of continued support of apps we rely on. It's easy to just build and forget something and then there's a fire drill when you have to go back and change something that hasn't been re-deployed in a while.
I agree that you don't want to create a protection racket market, and that's what I was thinking when I said "being alerted to their own security mess-ups".

Your own staff and vendors are creating security vulnerabilities, and you wisely run a bounty program, to detect and alert you. And you only pay when they find a problem. It can be very economical hedge against both mistakes and systemic dysfunction.

Also, if the researchers were criminally-inclined, they could make more money selling vulnerabilities to someone, not alerting you.

The general rule of thumb to go by is that whatever Karniadakis proposes, doesn't actually work outside of his benchmarks. PINNs don't really work, and _his flavor_ of neural operators also don't really work.

PINNs have serious problems with the way the "PDE-component" of the loss function needs to be posed, and outside of throwing tons of, often Chinese, PhD students, and postdocs at it, they usually don't work for actual problems. Mostly owed to the instabilities of higher order automatic derivatives, at which point PINN-people begin to go through a cascade of alternative approaches to obtain these higher-order derivatives. But these are all just hacks.
The natural light and diffuse light are good tips.

Next is to get a big screen eg. 85" 4K and put it 1.5m away. That should be your main display. I don't have that all the time, but then I get some variety, 85" @ 1.5m a lot of the time, laptop some of the time, driving/walking etc. for longer range.

1.5m is the midpoint of focus for the muscles in your eyes.

I built augmented reality displays and this was the focal plane we selected for to minimize eye strain and the felt sense of vergence/accommodation conflict.

We could then throw graphics as close as ~30cm, or at infinity using vergence adjustments, even though the accommodation was at a fixed 1.5m. Graphics felt best at that distance, but they also felt ok in the range 0.5-10m, which suited nearly all productivity scenarios.
The over-bright lighting, monitor glare, and eye strain are a favorite conversation topic at my workplace since RTO.
> and they for some reason give credit to Trump?

Well, this one is really simple - nothing of note will happen in the US in the next four years without giving Trump credit for it, because if you don't he'll turn the full power of the state against you. And with no checks on his power, there's nothing to stop him. So yes, this has nothing to do with Trump, but if you don't want to get arrested and harassed, you better give him credit for it. Same playbook Elena Ceausescu used, except she did it just for scientific papers, Trump will do it for everything.

Of all the issues in this country that really has impact on millions of people, I am baffled when I hear people only caring about 1 person and not care about the common good of society and the hundreds of millions of people in the US who live in it. Fascinating and depressing.
That sounds like a great sequence! Offhand, I don’t think there were any OOO microprocessors when I did computer architecture at Tech (Go Jackets!)
The complexity they brush under the rug is dangerous and has rough edge cases that have caused real damage in applications I and others have worked on. I'm trying to warn these others that think enums "greatly simplify" things that they don't really simplify things, especially by how much they can hurt. The modern alternatives are all just as simple, but far more reliable. Believe me or not, it is still a fair warning that enums aren't the syntactic "sugar" that they appear to be, they aren't as sweet as they look, and you may get a "salty" surprise (apologies if that sounds more vulgar than intended due to slang overloading) if you keep using them. You don't have to trust my warning on it (or any of the others in this and nearby threads), but that doesn't make it not worth making the warning and suggesting alternatives.

Yes, I've got eslint errors turned on disallowing any use of enums at this point, because I see it as a code smell/risk, but that doesn't mean I'm going to take away the feature from your codebase, that's up to you and your judgment.
In the history of LED lighting, it took quite a bit of work (hybrid phosphor technology, etc) to get them to emit warm color temperatures. The exact color temp can be a personal preference, but I think a lot of people aren't privy to the difference the color temperature of "white" light can make!

> and environment variables require an operating system

Is that true? It's just a process global string -> string map, that can be pre-loaded with values before the process starts, with a copy of the current state being passed to any sub-process. This could be trivially implemented with batch processing/supervisory programs.
> They are still often hands-on, and have a healthy fear of becoming the Ivory Tower version, but what comes next for them?

If you can write a title for them, this is usually where a Fellow or Distinguished Engineer lands.

Most Distinguished Engineers I know are actually VP/Director levels of leadership talent, but walk up the whole ladder from building things to deciding strategy every couple of weeks.

I didn't understand the value of a title either, until I was given a big title + a large cash award in an all hands, with the goal of putting me to work in a very specific way.

The title gave me clout when dealing with middle management and then I was dropped wherever there was an ongoing crisis, told me to make decisions without worrying about my job security (including giving me accelerated vesting safeguards, so firing me to appease a VP would be very expensive).

The article ends with the exact same idea that /“Am I willing and able to be there at 3 a.m. to resolve urgent breakdowns in the very system I created?”/

That gets taken the wrong way sometimes - if you optimize to avoid the "need to wake up at 3 AM, being the only person with enough knowledge to fix it", most other things fall in place.
> if we always had hypermedia with directories and files, why hasn't the web evolved into a mesh of interconnected file systems?

It kind of has. URLs have the notion of paths, which are obviously strongly associated with the notion of file system hierarchies. People sometimes (sometimes accidentally) put their file systems directly on the web, see DirectoryIndex in apache for example.

> Why isn't a website just a remote directory on someone's computer that we can explore via a file browser?

Well now we are getting into the meat of it. To be a hypermedia requires the presence of hypermedia controls in a media. Hypermedia controls can be as simple as links, but the web introduced more sophisticated controls such as forms, and allowed HTML authors to specify more significant interactions beyond click-to-link.

IMO the uniform interface is the most interesting aspect of hypermedia, and that really emerged post Web. I like the authors concept of a file explorer enhanced with hypermedia ideas though and would be interested to see more details on it.

I’d argue that libraries shouldn’t read environment variables at all. They’re passed on the initial program stack and look just like stack vars, so the issue here is essentially the same as taking the address of a stack variable and misusing it.

Just like a library wouldn’t try to use argv directly, it shouldn’t use envp either (even if done via getenv/setenv)

Not the GP but I use a simple wake up light alarm that was a game-changer for me in winters when a blaring alarm yanking me awake to a pitch-black room was not a great way to start the day, especially before going out into the -40° cold to scrape my car off.

A half hour before the alarm goes off, it slowly gets brighter which I find simulates the sun rising enough to be a more pleasant waking experience. Plus I set the alarm sound itself to bird chirps, starting with 1 or 2 birds and growing into a whole chorus (I'm usually up before then)

> That's by design. It's a strategy pioneered by Ronald Reagan called "starve the beast" [1]. Basically, you starve a public institution of funds and then use the inevitable failure for gutting it entirely and likely privatizing it.

I’d argue that if public schools across the board were doing their job and educating students then there wouldn’t be anything to starve.

> Also, charter schools aren't cheaper either. They cherry pick students. Public schools don't have that luxury.

My kids have gone to one of the bigger charter school chains in my city for around a decade and this is not true. They employ lots of specialists to assist struggling students like my youngest. I’m not sure if they would tolerate the worst troublemakers at public schools but I also don’t think those children’s parents would be looking at better options for education.

My current solution is the freedom app. I have all social media blocked during work hours and after 10:30 at night. I am mostly susceptible to reddit, twitter, instagram reels.

Last time this didn't work because I kept turning off the freedom app. (Sigh.) This time I seem to be holding the line though. I'm getting more done and feel better.
It definitely is the current libc. That one's proven by systems which do not have the same problem. Then the next layer problem is trying to pretend we can get everyone to pay attention and avoid bugs in code instead of forcing interfaces and implementations where those bugs are not possible.
