I had one of those for S3stat for a while. It lost decisively in A/B tests to the ugly wall of text that it replaced, so that’s what’s up there today:

I’m still waiting for the next generation of trendy SaaS companies to crib it.

Love it.

If the employer is allowed to use an AI proxy for their company, does that make it viable for candidates to deploy an AI proxy / avatar to go through the early stage of the process?

That'll truly give the efficiency that these employers crave - let's both speak once our AI counterparts have deemed we're a match.

The tldraw team did something similar a while back, called tldraw Computer [0]

Same concept, but the tldraw team delivered something with a bit more personality.

martypitt commented on LLMs should not replace therapists   arxiv.org/abs/2504.18412... · Posted by u/layer8

The issue is that if we go down this path, what will happen is that the gap between access to real therapy and "LLM therapy" will widen, because the political line will be "we have LLM therapy for almost free that's better than nothing, why do we need to reform health care to give equal access for everybody?".

The real issue that needs to be solved is that we need to make health care accessible to everybody, regardless of wealth or income. For example, in Germany, where I live, there are also long waitlists for therapists or specialists in general. But not if you have a high income, then you can get private insurance and get an appointment literally the next day.

So, we need to get rid of this two class insurance system, and then make sure we have enough supply of doctors and specialists so that the waits are not 3 months.

I agree with the principal here, and beleive that it's noble.

However, it boils down to "Don't advance technology, wait 'till we fix society", which is futile - regardless of whether it's right.

Rather cutely, "Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office" is an official title, dating back to the 16th century:

Diagrams look great - well done.

Reminds me of a similar project years ago that was doing the same thing - they ultimately struggled with monetization and folded (I forget the name) -- however this one is MIT OSS, so I'm guessing that's not a key concern right now.

Unsure why this is getting downvoted -- I'm equally excited to see this - thanks for sharing.

> A combination of Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki allowed us to replicate — and in some ways exceed — the visibility we had on AWS

Given these existence of these tools, which are fantastic, I'm often stunned at how sluggish, expensive and how lacklustre the UX is of the AWS monitoring stack.

Monitoring quickly became the most expensive, and most unpleasant part of our AWS experience.

This is really cool! And, that you did it in a few weeks is insane.

How did you get VS Code embedded in your app? I'm aware of projects like Monaco, and that vscode.dev exists - so it's clearly possible - but I didn't realize it was something others could build upon?

Again, kudos!

Kotlin did not have open LSP, C# still does not have an open debugger.

The C# VSCode extension works in Microsoft's build of VSCode, not when someone else forks it and builds it themselves.

Kotlin has had an OSS (MIT) Language Server for years. It's written and maintained by the community - but isn't that exactly the point of open source?
