Over the past 2 years I've been writing Rust services for my own startup. Some were straightforward CRUD, some advanced language parsing and ML services. Some thoughts: - Rust tends to push you to make good decisions. In my case, one o

I would love to see some exploration of the ECS pattern being used for web development. A couple years ago I wrote an experiment[0] using ECS with Web Components to make a simple calculator, and... it was actually pretty nice. ECS does a gr

Haha, thank you, and yours has a great name too! Both our projects are ML-adjacent. I don't want to cause any confusion, and will start thinking of some alternate names for my project.

Just a note to say that even though the name "Sematic" is the same, this is not the same open source project as mine that I posted to Show HN about a week ago here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32364193 .

Ah, sorry, I should clarify that when I say "talk", I didn't mean it in the literal sense. I've only worked on text as a source, though Speech-to-text shouldn't be too hard to integrate if it was needed. I like your

Ah, copy that. Not enough input is, well, not enough. Appreciate the clarification.

English->SQL is very much a thing, and has a good amount of research going into it. It does have a few weaknesses though: 1. It is ML based, and the best results I have seen put it at about 90% accurate. This might be "good enough&q

Not yet specifically for this; It is an excellent point. If I may, was there any particular phrases that you remember that were "too much"? It would be great to talk more about your experience, if you are open. Just let me know an

Ah, yes, Maybe I should clarify who my intended user would be. I agree that if you are technical, you are probably better off using other query methods. I'm always surprised what folks are on here, so was hoping a few would find this

1990's huh, wow. I totally believe it. It almost feels like a solved problem, but when I tried to find an API that parsed text to a degree that was usable by an average dev, nothing came up. Many NLP/AI/ML tools could define

I've been experimenting with ways of using Web Components with the ECS (Entity Component System) pattern. I'm not sure it will ever become the preferred way of writing web apps, but it does offer promise in exposing some alternate

I believe this is the first use of WebAssembly that I've come across in the wild. Very happy to see this!

Experimenting with JSX has introduced me to two language constructs: the Pragma, and the Macro. I know that these might seem a bit pedestrian to most folks, but they opened up my understanding of programming languages considerably. I am gen
