Show HN: Darwin – Automate Your GitHub Project with AI
15 by mlamina | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN! I've been working on a project called Darwin that I'm thrilled to share with you. Darwin is essentially your GitHub agent powered by large language models (LLMs). It checks out your projects, understands them through natural language prompts, and automates tasks such as fixing issues, documenting code, reviewing pull requests, and more. What drove me to create Darwin was a desire to harness the power of LLMs in a way that's seamlessly integrated with the tools I use daily. The motivation came from my curiosity about what could be possible when writing code that understands code. Darwin stands out because it's designed for developers who want to leverage AI without needing deep expertise in LLMs or prompt engineering. It offers: - hands-off approach to automate routine development tasks. - Novel and creative ways of making LLMs work for you - A unique API for each project, allowing for customized automation tools. Currently, Darwin is in alpha. It's functional, with users able to connect their repositories, define tools, and run tasks. I'm especially interested in feedback at this stage — everything from output quality to user experience. Every project starts with a $5 free budget to try it out, and while payment isn't implemented yet, I'm keen to hear your thoughts. The vision for Darwin is not just about automation but creating a more productive, creative, and enjoyable development experience. I believe we're just scratching the surface of what's possible with AI in software development, and I'm excited to see where we can take this. For those interested, I'm looking for alpha testers and feedback. If you're curious about automating your GitHub workflow or want to push the limits of what AI can do for development, Darwin might be for you. Check it out and let me know what you think!

New top story on Hacker News: Tell HN: I think I found Toyota's battery

Tell HN: I think I found Toyota's battery 173 by scythe | 29 comments on Hacker News. Recently there was a thread about a "breakthrough" in battery technology at Toyota. https://ift.tt/nUtv4yY Toyota has been putting out PR puff pieces about their "solid-state" (solid-electrolyte) batteries for years, but this story was unique in that it had a quote from Keiji Kaita, who holds some high-level role at Toyota. Anyway, I didn't think much of it, because there was no paper referenced in the Guardian article, which seemed to be the original source. But while reading about something else, I came across the paper "A near dimensionally invariable high-capacity positive electrode material", published in Nature Materials last December: https://ift.tt/24ZXPy5 This paper, reporting a cathode that has very little (much less than normal) change in size or shape when charged and discharged, claims reversible storage with a solid electrolyte. It stands to reaso...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Neucards – Privacy based digital contact card

Show HN: Neucards – Privacy based digital contact card 7 by bdominy | 1 comments on Hacker News. Neucards is an end-to-end encrypted contact information sharing and updating iOS app that protects your identity while letting you keep in touch with people. I started working on neucards as a side project more than ten years ago, and I decided three years ago to go full-time and try to build a community around it. There are two major problems that neucards addresses. First, most people end up with contact lists that are hopelessly out of date. Over time, people move, change jobs, or add social profiles and unless they tell you, chances are you could lose touch. Second, your contact information ends up in the wrong hands. There has been a huge increase in robocalls, unsolicited emails, data breaches, and online scams that is driven by accessing a person's contact info. Even worse, with AI now being able to imitate a person's voice or other mannerisms, knowledge about the connecti...
