We have been doing BFCM dashboards for the past 10 years now. It's always one of the most fun projects at Shopify and a great tradition now.

You know, it's pretty abstract to run internet software companies. Seeing a visualization like this makes it a lot more relateable even for the folks that work here.

This year we packed it with lots of fun details ( https://twitter.com/Shopify/status/1728040379163771020 ). Like you might see fireworks when a store has their first ever sale, and there are lots of fun city stats which are part generated by GPT4. On desktop you can also open the nerd menu and play around with the settings and share the link to your creation.

I'm wondering whether the rendering of markdown through a regex that only deals with H3, strong, em and code is enough, since this implementation specifically seems to ask the bot to reply with markdown?[0]

Other than that, it's cool to see this web interface happen. It's little things like this that make new tools easier to grasp for less technical users.

I believe that people are more likely to go through the hurdles of learning difficult setup procedures (knowing the UX/UI will be easy to use) versus making the setup easier but having the daily use be too hard.

I had an entire implementation that used a proper state machine but I couldn’t get it simple and small enough for this single file thing. The regexp chain is dumb but clear.

Can someone shed light on how does a CEO with 3 kids get time to hack on something like this? Some might even argue that all the time spent doing this would’ve been better spent on CEO activities, but thankfully this is HN and people have hobbies, so that’s that, but this can be a very time consuming hobby.

I've tried to eliminate language around being "too busy" from my vocabulary and attempt to replace it with "can't prioritize". That's sometimes a bit awkward, but really trains better habits. Sometimes I prioritize hobbies if I feel I need it, and doing this seemed fun and useful besides!

  i'm importing from js cdns instead of adding them here
FWIW this seems counter to llama.cpp's philosophy.

I agree, I ended up getting rid of it. Only one dependency is downloaded (via bash script) and everything is baked into the binary now.
