• Devin, the First AI Software Engineer

  Good question. I expect that we're moving into a phase of AIs talking to AIs, and initially it'll be wasteful (because it'll be mostly English), but eventually, they'll derive their own language and seamlessly upgrade protocols when they determine they're talking to an AI. No clue how that will come about or what that language will look like, but honestly, it's kind of exciting. Really interesting to think about... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Pipe Dreams: The life and times of Yahoo Pipes

  I skipped to chapter 9 in the article ("Clogged"), and it looked like Pipes failed because it didn't have a large enough team or a well-defined mission. As a result they couldn't offer a super robust product that would lure in enterprise users. "You could not purchase some number of guaranteed-to-work Pipes calls per month" is the quote from the article. The reason I think that interesting is because that's the... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• n8n.io - A powerful workflow automation tool

  I believe Node-RED (https://nodered.org/) the way to go. It's just an NPM package to install and you can run it how ever you wish (even on Windows). It has a friendly and helpful community with even the main developers tirelessly answering even beginner level questions. In fact the community forum its THE friendliest forum I've ever been a member of by a large margin. Node-RED's development is supported by the JS... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Loops and conditional branching (IF then else) in ComfyUI?

  Does anyone know if their are plans to implement something like this (or if there are already custom nodes out there). I'd like to experiment with things like looping and incrementing values (like a for loop) for a Ksampler for example. It's only an example though, so I am not looking for a ksampler specific solution; just a generic way to have a variable (e.g. Seed value), run some nodes that use that value,...

• Show HN: List (OPML) of Hacker News Users Personal Blogs

  I've been playing around with Node-RED[1] for a while and thought I would recreate this using Node-RED (also being a big fan of Node-RED). The flow[2], i.e. code, is online to have a look at (editable but not deployable) and the feed[3] is cached and updated every hour or so. It's only a small Heroku server so it might well be down or about to crash, I make no promises! Thanks to the OP for the inspiration, I did... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Building a smart home sensor application with AWS AppSync and AWS Amplify components

  ZigBee home automation sensors send temperature values to a local Raspberry PI. A Node-RED flow processes the sensor values. For this, the Node-RED plugin node-red-contrib-zigbee2mqtt listens for new sensor values. Then they will be sent to AWS IoT core using MQTT protocol. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• How to store business logic (data validation rules in my case) that can be updated?

  I recently built a timesheet workflow system using Node-Red. I built a set of custom nodes for things like "fetch timesheet" and "lookup approver" and "post new status". Then, we used Node-Red to build the workflow from the nodes and exported the flow's json and saved it to our workflow config table. Then, when a timesheet is submitted, the matching workflow config is looked up (we have over 100 types of... Source: about 1 year ago

• I automated my Key Light Airs to change brightness and temperature on a schedule using Home Assistant and Node Red

  For some backgound, Home Assistant is a home automation software that runs on a computer and Node Red is a graphical automation builder for Home Assistant. I do not have a background in any of this stuff, or in anything computer related, so it was quite a steep learning curve to get it all set up. However, I already have some home automation running, so I was also motivated to see what Home Assistant could do... Source: about 1 year ago
