I would. I use pgadmin and feel it's very outdated and over-complicated for simple use cases.

That's how I feel about most visual database clients I've used over the years...

It's something I hear from many others too, hence my interest in trying to build an incredibly fast and lightweight product.

Congrats on the launch. The problem is definitely there. I wonder how are you planning to differentiate yourself from Cursor and the like. You mention you are complementary, but Cursor provide similar features to add external doc context for instance to a prompt. I understand you do better in your benchmark, but with the amount of funding they may be able to replicate and improve over it (unless you have a secret thing).

as I mentioned above there are many more use cases than just coding (APIs, research, knowledge bases, even personal or enterprise data sources the agent needs to explore and validate dynamically)

I started out with coding agents specifically because it came from personal pain of how horrible they are with providing up to date context.

Many thoughts:

- That wasn't in my bingo list. I guess it's acquisition time and all these AI companies need to spend the money somewhere.

- Congrats to the team. I was a big fan of their devrel work.

- Now both wandb and neptune AI have been acquired. I guess there is no independent MLOps solution left.

- Are they shutting down the product? Is this an acquihire? Does it mean OpenAI has not offices in Europe?

We are building one! Check out https://minfx.ai

There was an email sent and there's an FAQ saying that they're shutting down the product.

> "(.…) We plan to iterate with them to integrate their tools deep into our training stack to expand our visibility into how models learn."

Kind of means there's an office, yes.

Funny thing I remembered. OpenAI was one of the design partners for wandb. Funny they ended up using then acquiring a competitor.

How CoreWeave(wand) a competitor? I think they are a partner in in infrastructure.

> Are they shutting down the product

Yes. And you only have until 4th March to migrate away!

A very short notice... This is why we're building https://minfx.ai

That's really cool. I guess this is an alternative to ngrok (which I like but hate due to having to sign in).

Yes, its free to use and does not require any clients (but you need to have ssh client installed)

Not many people know that you can use cloudflare tunnels without signing up.

I sure did not! How would that work? Manually pointing the domain as a CNAME to the tunnel ID? But how would one get that ID without signing up?

I have a demo with working GitHub runner workflow code here: https://github.com/BrowserBox/ariadne

Specifically: https://github.com/BrowserBox/ariadne/blob/f07e3b0d445f5d4a8...

Hey if you are interested in re-using any of this GitHub Action, feel free to: https://github.com/LocalXpose/localxpose-action

Thank you bud, was not aware of local expose. There’s a bunch of these tunneling services out there, what makes yours uniquely cool?

Probably not an exciting answer but my work focused on stability and performance. There are indeed a lot of cool alternatives. I think Localxpose is for businesses who aren't interested in self-hosting and just need a service that will reliably handle production traffic. I don't know if that's unique (or cool, lol)

Alrighty, well I might through it into the BrowserBox mix. We are currently using a variety of tunnels for punching through network layers and providing networking flexibility.

If that's not a proof of the 10/90 rule in machine learning. The last 10% of accuracy are harder than the first 90 (and that goes recursively).

We almost solved OCR 20 years ago. Then we spent 20 years on the last percentage. We see the same in self-driving cars.

This.

There is so much spam from random people about meaningless issues in our docs. AI has made the problem worse. Determining the meaningful from the meaningless is a full time job.

This is where “managed” bug bounty programs like BugCrowd or HackerOne deliver value: only telling you when there is something real. It can be a full time job to separate the wheat from the chaff. It’s made worse by the incentive of the reporters to make everything sound like a P1 hair-on-fire issue.

Half of the emails I used to get in a previous company were pointless issues, some coming from a honey pot.

The other half was people demanding payment.

Training a tech support team of interns to solve all of them would be an enviable hacker or software dev training program.

Not kidding, I bet llm’s are excellent at triaging these reports. Humans, in a corporate setting, are apparently not.

The first thing that comes to my mind is SOC2 HIPAA and the whole security theater.

I am one of the engineers that had to suffer through countless screenshots and forms to get these because they show that you are compliant and safe. While the real impactful things are ignored

SemiAnalysis made this a base requirement for being appropriately ranked on their ClusterMAX report, telling me it is akin to FAA certifications, and then getting hacked themselves for not enforcing simple security controls.

It is crazy how this gets perpetuated in the industry as actually having security value, when in reality, it is just a pay-to-play checkbox.

You have to start somewhere though. Security theater sucks, and it's not like compliance is a silver bullet, but at least it's something. Having been through implementing standards compliance, it did help the company in some areas. Was it perfect? Definitely not. Was it driven by financial goals? Absolutely. It did tighten up some weak spots though.

If the options mainly consist of "trust me bro" vs "we can demonstrate that we put in some effort", the latter seems more preferable, even if it's not perfect.

Quite lucky for the projects that are trending :D
