mpaepper··on Show HN: Speak, capture, type - my voice assistant works anywhere on your system
It's open-source and everything is running locally on your computer, so you can even use it offline :)
mpaepper··on OpenAI Agents SDK
Seems rushed out in response to Manus?

The example just calls a single LLM what about that is agentic?

mpaepper··on OpenAI spent $10M on chat.com URL
On X it was mentioned that the seller received part of the compensation in OpenAI stock.
mpaepper··on Ask HN: Best Monitor for Terrace Use?
And they work well outside in the sun?
mpaepper··on An open source initiative to share and compare heat pump performance data
What kind of thermal camera do you recommend and what price range?
mpaepper··on LLMs having emergent abilities is an illusion driven by metrics selection [pdf]
Interesting analysis showing that the supposed emergent abilities with sharp changes in metrics when scaling LLMs are actually rather metric dependent and when you change to an actual linear metric, you also see linear progress.
mpaepper··on Concept sliders: LoRA adaptors for precise control in diffusion models
Can you apply the sliders also to existing images that were not generated with SD?
mpaepper··on Win-Vind: Vim key binder for Windows
This sounds a bit like it. Haven't tried it yet, though.

mpaepper··on Win-Vind: Vim key binder for Windows
I use xmonad as a tiling wm, which I guess is quite similar to i3, but what I mean is that you can control all apps with vim like experience a la vimium. For example controlling gimp with vim key bindings. Does i3wm support that?

It sounds like this app for windows does that.

mpaepper··on Win-Vind: Vim key binder for Windows
Wow, does something like this exist for Ubuntu as well?
mpaepper··on Langchain Is Pointless
I agree it's not so easy to work with Langchain.

That's wy I built the simple LLM agents repo which you can understand in 5 minutes:

mpaepper··on Autonomous Agents and Agent Simulations
In case you want a much simpler implementation of the ReAct agent with tools, it's here with ~200 loc:

mpaepper··on An example of LLM prompting for programming
The big difference is that you get the results immediately and iterations take minutes not days
mpaepper··on Build your own agents which are controlled by LLMs
Glad to hear that as this was exactly my goal: make this more accessible, because the actual things needed to run it are super simple.

To be fair to langchain, though: I like it a lot and it offers a lot more than my repo, but yeah definitely not the best place to understand how it all plays together.

mpaepper··on Build your own agents which are controlled by LLMs
I thought about that as well.

Some kind of ensemble agent which is more robust, might play with that idea.

mpaepper··on Build your own agents which are controlled by LLMs
It might be that it generated both the Thought and Final answer, but my current implementation skips to the end once the final answer is parsed.

So even though there was a thought, I didn't print it

mpaepper··on Build your own agents which are controlled by LLMs
Basically the tools the agent is using in this repository are like ChatGPT plugins.
mpaepper··on Build your own agents which are controlled by LLMs
That's a great idea!
mpaepper··on LangChain Announces 10M Seed Round
Check out my agent implementation here which is just for fun and to get a better understanding. Maybe you want to contribute?

https://github.com/mpaepper/llm_agents

mpaepper··on LangChain Announces 10M Seed Round
I agree that the agents are underappreciated.

To make them more accessible I rewrote them in ~200 lines of code, so you can easily understand how it works.

They have access to a python console, Google search and hacker news search:

mpaepper··on Show HN: SiteGPT – Create ChatGPT-like chatbots trained on your website content
You can do it yourself with this repo and only pay the OpenAI API fees: https://github.com/mpaepper/content-chatbot
mpaepper··on Open Flamingo – open framework to train multimodal LLMs
This is awesome work and they also provide their 9B OpenFlamingo model which is based on Llama:

mpaepper··on Show HN: Document Q&A with GPT: web, .pdf, .docx, etc.
I built this repo to do this for your own website content, that should get you a good starting point:

mpaepper··on RWKV RNN: Better than ChatGPT?
Is there a research paper / arxiv which describes it in detail?
mpaepper··on Your website's content -> Q&A bot / chatbot
Woah, that's a huge site!

Should be fine, though, as it iterates over it, it creates embeddings and then stores them in the FAISS store (https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss) which was created to handle a large amount of embeddings.

For the actual queries, it filters it down by the most relevant documents which are closest in the embedding space, so this should work.

Let me know how it goes!

mpaepper··on Your website's content -> Q&A bot / chatbot
Thanks for the suggestion, but for my fun small experiment, FAISS was more than enough.
mpaepper··on Your website's content -> Q&A bot / chatbot
Yes, this will be an interesting next experiment - adding agents with additional tools (also for example access to internal APIs) will be quite powerful.
mpaepper··on Your website's content -> Q&A bot / chatbot
Currently, it only splits documents linearly, so if you have information which is written backwards or things like that, it will likely not work so well.
mpaepper··on Your website's content -> Q&A bot / chatbot
Go for it, it's quite easy to do, you only need to adapt the `https://github.com/mpaepper/content-chatbot/blob/main/create...` file a bit to match the way your data is represented and then you are good to go.
mpaepper··on Your website's content -> Q&A bot / chatbot
I don't have larger scale experience on this at the moment, but I can tell you what I observed during my trials (also see my related blog entry for some more info: https://www.paepper.com/blog/posts/build-q-and-a-bot-of-your...)

It cost around 0.05$ to create the embeddings for my ~50 blog entries.

Asking a question in the way I've described it also costs around 0.05$ via the API.
