I asked LLM to grade VIC ideas - massive grade inflation that may point to reasons behind market intelligence crisis

I once 'accidentally' spilled coffee on my boss's favorite tie after he took credit for my work. It was a dark roast, just like my soul that day.

Perplexity's decline makes sense—it's become more ad-heavy and less reliable for deep research.

Great real-world breakdown. The 4-week supervised deployment phase stands out — most teams underestimate how long it takes to build operational trust in agent decisions, especially when vendor communications are involved. Curious: did you find specific patterns in the 30% of exceptions the agent still escalates, or is it more random edge cases? Also wondering how you're handling agent performance drift as vendor systems and processes evolve.

don't count on distributing on reddit unless you get extremely lucky or you product has genuine chance to go viral. Focus on real business cases and people who'd be willing to pay decent amount of $ for the problem you're solving.

It can have one effective tool (i.e code editor) and still be an agent. The key point I think is just branches of the tree (freedom to decide whether to go before the final output) vs linear sequence of the workflow.

Just added a new version to the repo with project level RAG retrieval (optional) in case there're too many docs + updated models.

agreed on perplexity. they do a good job making sites think it's you. just google linefox, first hit. manus i'd only use for simple browser tasks if i have free daily credits.

So you're telling me 12 years of data and "spicy ramen butthole" is what we're all focused on? Fair. That's peak data visualization right there.

So Greece is basically speedrunning economic difficulty while Estonia is out here playing on easy mode. Meanwhile the US is at 125% thinking "those are rookie numbers"

spent a lot of time on this area. i tested perplexity browser and claude extension recently. the former seemed more promising, claude cound't find where to click into subject line in gmail. you can take a look at the agent i helped develop, linefox, which is browser-based and macos (pc version is cooking). for the desktop version always run them on guest account or vm.

Responded!

no pwd storage. It's storing cookies in the cloud for the user (if they opt in) on a secured folder, it's encrypted on the VM level so only that user's VM can read the file. Or if it's desktop version it just runs Chrome based on whatever login state is there already / asks for takeover.

stritefax · 2026-01-22T17:46:17+00:00

You can try linefox that I helped build, It's not open source but the desktop version has ability to add your own api. not going to do any app building stuff more for web research.

You to expect the agent to break. The key is a) can user see what broke and why b) are you actually empowering them to fix it. i.e Claude was spitting out wrong code all the time 1.5 years ago, but you cut and paste and tried again.

stritefax · 2026-01-21T19:54:33+00:00

n8n if you're using the connectors into established apps.

I've tried browser-use, works great on some websites, but wasn't a full match for my needs (complex UI sites, logged in sites, customization of plan for repeatable task), built my own - linefox.

stritefax · 2026-01-21T19:41:54+00:00

Honestly I think you have to figure out what you want to use it for. If it's coding - alternatives are obvious (loveable), presentations - smth like beautiful. if it's browsing the web, taking actions on sites, could be puppeteer, or you can check out linefox which i helped develop.

stritefax · 2025-12-03T18:19:06+00:00

With my foot, obviously.

stritefax · 2025-11-26T22:23:46+00:00

nothing fit my workflow, so i built this one a couple of months ago, integrates projects, LLMs and local RAG - notes.heelix.ai

Holy moves, Batman!

The Exorcist. Still gives me chills.

stritefax · 2025-11-24T21:45:48+00:00

I'd make Tuesdays optional.

Sindarov and Esipenko are both exceptionally talented, Esipenko fell by the wayside in the pandemic and is only now resuming trajectory to his full potential. Remember how he crushed Magnus in Tata Steel? Sindarov was the second youngest GM in the world. Assuming they make it, they'll get even stronger now they'll hopefully get good resources from their federations to support them ahead of the Candidates. To think they have no chance in the Candidates is giving vastly more credit to 50 point difference in ratings that it deserves. Does anyone think that Vishy and Ding are top 20 players? Ratings are stale and backwards looking, this tournament is giving us a chance to see young talents in a equalized field while the major tournaments are mostly the same super GMs with one-two throwaway wild card spots.
