I thought this must be a joke at first. "Glaze" is in pretty heavy use as recent slang for "when someone excessively praises another person in a way that feels over-the-top." https://creativesimiles.com/glaze-meaning-slang/

ie the annoying way that LLMs interact with users

This has to be intentional, right?

Star athletes really hate being told they can't score more than 10 goals in a season because it's unfair to the other weaker players. The players will either leave to go play somewhere else, or they become weaker players themselves.

And yet almost all of the most popular sports leagues in the US have a salary cap rule.

Appreciate that perspective and assumed some folks would feel that way.

I am more interested in testing if folks have the problem and like the shape of the solution, before I try to decide on the model to sustain it. Open Source to me is saying -- "hey do you all want to help me build this?"

I'm not even at the point of knowing if it should exist, so why start asking people to help without that validation.

I work(ed) with OSS projects that have terrible times sustaining themselves and don't default to it bc of that trauma.

Thanks for stopping by.

"Local history" is a very popular feature in the JetBrains IDEs (just search HN comments), and I remember similar tools appearing on HN several times in the past (for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29784238), so clearly there is demand for such functionality (or at least was in the past, when almost all code edits were manual).

HN has that every day, and a dedicated section for it: Show HN. Link in the top bar :)

realharo · 25 days ago

Yeah, but that's not the same, as most readers will just skip over that. What I said is more similar to HN's monthly "who's hiring" threads or "what are you working on" threads. Like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46937696. I find those much more interesting.

There are places like r/sideprojects but as with all non-niche boards it can get crowded pretty fast.

I’ve often thought about standing up a subreddit specifically for side projects but with the proviso of:

- No sign up

- No ads

- No subscription/payments of any kind

Open-source is welcome but optional.

realharo · 25 days ago

I think the problem with such places is, they just become a dump for self-promotion by people who otherwise don't participate at all. The opposite of an actual community. That's why even reddit used to have a 10-to-1 rule of thumb about posts like that (which would be very easily gamed today).

i really want to see the silly little side projects that everybody is making!

not because i think i'll actually use any of them, but because they could inspire me to do something different in my silly little side projects

the goal isn't "product release", it's elementary school "show and tell"

realharo · 25 days ago

Usually online communities have dedicated days for such things. Like a "side project Sunday" or such, with one large thread.

Any time I see people say "I don't see why I should care about my privacy, I've got nothing to hide" I think about how badly things can go if the wrong people end up in positions of power.

The classic example here is what happens when someone is being stalked by an abusive ex-partner who works in law enforcement and has access to those databases.

This ICE stuff is that scaled up to a multi-billion dollar federal agency with, apparently, no accountability for following the law at all.

Even if you trust the intentions of whoever you're giving your data to, you may not trust their ability to keep it safe from data breaches. Those happen all the time.

AffableSpatula · 2 months ago

yeah I tend to agree. They're must be reaching the point where they can automate the analysis of claude code prompts to extract techniques and build them directly into the harness. Going up against that is brave!

realharo · 2 months ago

It's always good to have viable alternatives, if only to prevent vendor lock-in in case they make some drastic changes in policy or pricing.

wilsonzlin · 2 months ago

Hey, Wilson here, author of the blog post and the engineer working on this project. I've been reading the responses here and appreciate the feedback. I've posted some follow up context on Twitter/X[0], which I'll also write here:

The repo is a live incubator for the harness. We are actively researching the behavior of collaborative long running agents, and may in the future make the browser and other products this research produces more consumable by end users and developers, but it's not the goal for now. We made it public as we were excited by the early results and wanted to share; while far off from feature parity with the most popular production browsers today, we think it has made impressive progress in the last <1 week of wall time.

Given the interest in trying out the current state of the project, I've merged a more up-to-date snapshot of the system's progress that resolves issues with builds and CI. The experimental harness can occasionally leave the repo in an incomplete state but does converge, which was the case at the time of the post.

I'm here to answer any further questions you have.

Make it port Firefox's engine to iOS, that's something people would actually use (in countries where Apple is forced to allow other browser engines).

GitHub doesn't offer any unlimited style AI model plans so I don't think they'll care. Their pricing is fairly aligned with their costs.

This only affects Claude as they try to market their plan as unlimited with various usage rate limits but its clearly costing them a lot more than what they sell it for.

realharo · 2 months ago

Copilot plan limits are however "per prompt", and prompts that ask the agent to do a lot of stuff with a large context are obviously going to be more expensive to run than prompts that don't.
