skanga··on Multi-Agents LLM Financial Trading Framework
To be fair, these are not prompted as has been described here. These are actually "few shot" examples in the sentiment prompt. It is presented as an example under "distinguish opinion from event" but not as "do-this" evidence. Still, hard-coded positive Nvidia/NVDA examples in a generic prompt are unnecessary prompt contamination. At best this a real bias risk, but not a strong deterministic bug.

In case there is interest, I've got a fork with some custom improvements. See section "What this fork adds" in README.md

Thanks
skanga··on Show HN: A fast, private, cross-platform Markdown editor built with Tauri/Rust
MDedit gives you explicit Edit / Split / Preview modes which is useful when checking what some Markdown syntax loooks like. MDedit allows exporting rendered HTML, PNG, print-to-PDF, individual tables as CSV, and diagrams as SVG. HTML can embed local assets. I did not see those in my (admittedly skimpy) review of writer.

Thanks for the feedback. Added the screenshot. Not familiar with writer-computer. Will take a look.

skanga··on Building the Grace Cathedral experience
Fantastic Work!

You mentioned that "Everything beneath the Grace Cathedral experience is built on open source foundations." How feasible is it for a novice to build such an experience. Say I wanted one for my own house (should be MUCH less challenging)

skanga··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (October 2025)
I'm working on Conductor

https://github.com/skanga/Conductor

Conductor is a LLM agnostic framework for building sophisticated AI applications using a subagent architecture. It provides a robust platform for orchestrating multiple specialized AI agents to accomplish complex tasks, with features like LLM-based planning, memory persistence, and dynamic tool use.

It provides a robust and flexible platform for orchestrating multiple specialized AI agents to accomplish complex tasks. This project is inspired by the concepts outlined in "The Rise of Subagents" by Phil Schmid at https://www.philschmid.de/the-rise-of-subagents and it aims to provide a practical implementation of this powerful architectural pattern.

skanga··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
I read a paper called "The Rise of Subagents" by Phil Schmid at https://www.philschmid.de/the-rise-of-subagents and thought it was an incredibly powerful architectural pattern for running AI agents with complex tasks.

So, I decided to build a practical implementation of this system with a central Orchestrator that manages a fleet of implicit or explicit Subagents. Each subagent is a specialized, isolated AI agent designed to perform a specific subtask. More details in the repo README at https://github.com/skanga/conductor

skanga··on Launch HN: Gecko Security (YC F24) – AI That Finds Vulnerabilities in Code
It's hard to evaluate such a tool. I scanned my OSS MCP server for databases at https://github.com/skanga/dbchat and it found 0 vulnerabilities. Now I'm wondering if my code is perfect :-) or the tool has issues!
skanga··on MCP server for all databases (based on JDBC)
DBChat is a powerful MCP server that lets you have natural language conversations with your database from clients like Claude Desktop. Ask it to do complex analysis, generate beautiful visualizations, or build custom interactive dashboards based your data. Works with any JDBC-compatible database with support for most SQL DBs like PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, SQLite, MongoDB, etc.

skanga··on Gen AI: Too much spend, too little benefit [pdf]
Electricity, the printing press, etc were all privately owned.
skanga··on Gen AI: Too much spend, too little benefit [pdf]
This is probably accurate.

But GenAI is a major upheaval. In most those, a massive amount of initial capital is invested, but the payoff happens slowly - only over decades. But the payoffs are huge.

Think about electricity. Building out the grid was HUGELY expensive. But then benefits are derived for decades. Same for the highway system, railway system, etc.

skanga··on Things You Should Never Do, Part I (2000)
You are right. But IMO you're still missing his main point. His thesis is in that case, to rewrite ONLY THE REALLY BAD CODE.

There is not team that is 100% bad so you don't need a full rewrite of 100% of the code base.
