Show HN: Blockly BOT – AI to assist in learning block programming - Project Screenshot

URL: https://github.com/yutakobayashidev/blockly-gpt

Author: yutakobayashi

Description: Hello, I am a 15-year-old middle school student living in Japan. Learning programming can be challenging for beginners, but block programming makes this learning process easier. In particular, Scratch, developed by the MIT Media Lab, is a wonderful tool that allows intuitive learning using blocks. It is based on Google's Blockly project.

I have developed my own block learning assistant using Blockly. With this tool, it's possible to add explanations to existing blocks, customize them, or create new blocks using natural language. It was built using OpenAI, React, and Vite.

This project's source is publicly available on GitHub, and I hope it can contribute to the advancement of programming education. I am eagerly awaiting your valuable feedback!

Show HN: GitHub Bot to Detect Duplicate Issues with OpenAI and Supabase - Project Screenshot

URL: https://github.com/guillermoscript/repo-assistant

Author: guillermoscript

Description: Hey HN Community,

I recently found myself knee-deep in a fascinating challenge that I think you'll find intriguing. I'm a backend developer with a penchant for Node.js and SQL, and I've been wrestling with a problem that's both technically intricate and surprisingly common in the world of open-source development.

The issue at hand? Duplicate GitHub issues. They're like weeds in a garden – you turn your back for a second, and suddenly they're everywhere, choking out the valuable discussions and dragging down productivity.

So, I set out to build a bot. Not just any bot, mind you, but a Probot GitHub app that could intelligently detect and flag duplicates before they multiplied. It was a problem that scratched my own itch, and I figured if it worked for me, it might just work for others too.

The idea was simple enough: whenever a new issue is opened, the bot would compare it against existing issues using OpenAI's embeddings to measure textual similarity. But the simplicity was deceptive. I needed to store and query embeddings efficiently, which led me down the rabbit hole of Supabase and its vector extension. I had to learn the nuances of vector similarity, and let me tell you, it's a topic that can get as thorny as the problem it's trying to solve.

As I iterated on the solution, I discovered nuances I hadn't anticipated. The importance of metadata like issue labels, repo id, issue id and so on, for example. The need to account The fact that the bot needed to be able to handle multiple repos, each with their own set of issues. The list goes on, so I focused on the simplest possible solution that could still be effective. I wanted to build something that would be useful to the community, not just a technical exercise.

I'm proud of the bot I built. its solves the task of detecting duplicates with a high degree of accuracy, and it's open-source so anyone can use it. Also if you have existing issues the sync script will sync them to the database so you can start detecting duplicates right away.

For those who love the gritty details: I leveraged TypeScript for its type safety, wrangled with SQL functions to handle vector operations like cosine similarity, OpenAI's API to generate embeddings and the final comment in the issue thread, I also used GitHub's REST API to fetch issues and comments.

It's not perfect – no bot ever is – but it's a start. I'm curious to hear what you think, and I'd love to hear about your own experiences with duplicate issues. What challenges have you faced? What solutions have you tried? What would you like to see in a bot like this?

11. Show HN: C port of the (non-super) Star Trek game, incl. WASM for browser/phone

Show HN: C port of the (non-super) Star Trek game, incl. WASM for browser/phone - Project Screenshot

URL: https://busfahrer.github.io/st71/

Author: busfahrer

Description: Hi HN, I've decided to port the original (non-super) Star Trek game to C since I wanted to try playing the original but wasn't able to find a lot of sources that run on modern machines. Therefore I based this port on Michael Birken's 2008 C# port. This is in contrast to the Super Star Trek game which was far more popular and has a number of sources available on the web.

I took some hamfisted measures to allow the Web Assembly version of the game to be played on mobile as well, it's not very pretty but it kind of works. You can tap into the terminal to open your phone keyboard, then the terminal should be visible in the top half while the keyboard can stay open in the lower half. The tips section on the page has some further hints.

The port itself is quite crude but I made sure that it is ANSI C89 compliant, because I wanted the game to be able to run on just about anything.

For the best effect, I recommend playing the game using the aptly named cool-retro-term. https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term

This is the best way to play short of hooking up your needle printer as a faux teletype terminal.

Show HN: LVE – The First Open Repository of LLM Vulnerabilities and Exposures - Project Screenshot

URL: https://lve-project.org/index.html

Author: lbeurerkellner

Description: Hello HN,

we are a team of researchers and students who have created LVE, an open source database to document and track exploits and safety issues with LLMs like (Chat)GPT, Llama and Mistral models. Our goal is to improve the discourse around LLM safety by precisely documenting, tracking LLM failures, using an open database and a small framework focused on reproducibility and traceability. LVE is meant to to raise awareness and help everyone better understand the capabilities but also the vulnerabilities of state-of-the-art large language models.

Our website, lve-project.org, also hosts a series of community challenges, which are mini competitions, where you can learn about LLM safety and contribute to the project, by submitting prompts that break model behavior.

We are open to feedback and suggestions, so please let us know what you think. We are also looking for contributors, so if you are interested in helping out, please reach out to us. Everything lives on GitHub at https://github.com/lve-org/lve and contribution works via PRs.

Happy to answer any questions you might have!

24. Show HN: A variant of Conway's Game of Life in color you can run on your phone

URL: #

Author: akkartik

Description: Given the recent interest in Conway's Game of Life, I thought I'd share a variant with 2 tweaks to the rules:

* All live cells have a color

* When a cell is born it randomly takes on the color of one of its (3) parents.

To try it out:

1. Download LÖVE for your device from https://love2d.org (5MB and open source). (iOS requires building from source on a Mac, or installing the third-party Love2D Studio: https://love2d-studio.marknoteapp.com)

2. Download my Lua Carousel from https://akkartik.itch.io/carousel (100KB). It includes all its source code and can be edited live on a computer as it runs.

3. Copy the ~100 lines of code from the bottom of https://akkartik.itch.io/carousel/devlog/651711/new-version-after-9-days and paste them into Lua Carousel.

Show HN: IP-Adapter-FaceID AI: Clone Your Face for Any Scene - Project Screenshot

URL: https://ipadapterfaceid.com/

Author: yangxiaobo

Description: Imagine, just by uploading a few photos, you can generate images of yourself in any scenario.

Recently, the IP-Adapter-FaceID model has been featured in numerous tech media outlets. It allows you to clone your face by uploading photos. Then, based on prompt words, it can generate a variety of images.

I tried it out and found the results quite impressive. The generated images closely resemble the original photos, and you can customize the scenes and content. It seems quite useful in certain scenarios.

Realizing that many people might not know where to use it, I spent two days creating a website that integrates this model. It includes instructions for use and some introductions to the model. Everyone is welcome to experience it online.

Online address: https://ipadapterfaceid.com

If you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment.

Show HN: Optimalnightvision.com, MILPs for optimizing night vision systems - Project Screenshot

URL: https://www.optimalnightvision.com

Author: edot

Description: Because night vision intensifier tubes are produced with highly variable qualities, they are binned and sold in discrete grade batches. This wastes money and degrades overall system performance. With two mixed-integer linear programs (one for grouping tubes into systems, and another for assigning systems to customers), OptimalNightVision is able to greatly improve end-product quality and reduce costs.

OptimalNightVision is the only (publicly available) inventory optimization platform for night vision intensifier tubes.

Tech: Django, Pyomo for formulation, GLPK for solving.

Feedback and questions are very welcome :)

Show HN: FSW: helpers for building apps with Flask, SQLAlchemy, and WTForms - Project Screenshot

URL: https://github.com/bhushan-mohanraj/fsw

Author: bhushanmohanraj

Description: FSW is a collection of classes and functions for building apps combining Flask, SQLAlchemy, and WTForms. The library is intended to be modular: it does not require instantiation with the app object, and its pieces are generally independent of each other.

I created the library to avoid duplication between my own Flask apps. Many of its helpers are inspired by Django. The library is currently in alpha and will hopefully be available on PyPI soon (https://github.com/pypi/support/issues/2987).

The library is divided into three components:

- fsw.views: RedirectView, TemplateView, FormView, CreateModelView, ReadModelView, ReadOneModelView, UpdateModelView, DeleteModelView

- fsw.models: ClassNameModelMixin, IDModelMixin, SaveModelMixin, CreateTimestampModelMixin, UpdateTimestampModelMixin, DeleteTimestampModelMixin, HardDeleteModelMixin

- fsw.forms: CSRFProtectModelMixin, ModelFormMixin

I would love feedback and suggestions on any part of the library, especially the more complex components (such as FormView and ModelFormMixin).
