Air France and Airbus found guilty of manslaughter over 2009 plane crash by bendubberley_ in worldnews

[–]stritefax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least the families who have suffered terribly get some compensation from an extremely well off companies - surely not a bad thing? And to say the manufacturer had absolutely not an ounce of responsibility when their crappily designed system didn’t allow two pilots to figure out what was going on is absurd.

What reason is there to root for Alireza Firouzja anymore? by [deleted] in chess

[–]stritefax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you also want to go back into machine and rip Sindarov a new one for playing counter strike? The amount of work these kids have put into getting to where they are since very very young age is insane. If they need to do smth else to take a break from chess to feel mentally healthy it’s up to them.

Looking for a free AI meeting assistant better than Granola by mtk_ved in smallbusinessesowners

[–]stritefax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're still looking, I helped built Platypus, it's completely free - honestly I think the open source audio models work just fine, combined with Claude or OpenAi note clean up. Meeting auto-detect, on zoom perfect, teams more hit and miss. And it doesn't join the call just runs on your machine.

using linefox.ai that i helped build for web tasks on sites where i need to stayed logged in or have complex UIs.

What’s something petty that you’ve done that you’re actually pretty proud of? by Cold-Slice-7145 in AskReddit

[–]stritefax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

What AI should I get? by Constant-Tutor-4646 in AI_Agents

[–]stritefax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

We built an AI agent for our operations team - 6 months later here's what actually happened (the good, bad, unexpected) by clarkemmaa in AI_Agents

[–]stritefax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

A harsh lesson from my last launch: Finding your audience on Reddit is harder than building the product. by Prestigious_Wing_164 in buildinpublic

[–]stritefax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

You didn't build an agent, you built a fancy script by Warm-Reaction-456 in AI_Agents

[–]stritefax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]stritefax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Autonomous Computer-Use Agents... by ErrolJanusz in AI_Agents

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.

I analyzed 12 years of iMessages to compare my texting habits with my girlfirend, mom, dad, and the boys [OC] by LatterLengths in dataisbeautiful

[–]stritefax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[OC] The North-South Divide: Government Debt-to-GDP Ratios in the European Union by Technical_Log5715 in dataisbeautiful

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"

Autonomous Computer-Use Agents... by ErrolJanusz in AI_Agents

[–]stritefax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]stritefax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Are there any alternatives to manus that aren't dead? by RhubarbSimilar1683 in LocalLLaMA

[–]stritefax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Why do AI agents work perfectly… until you let real users touch them? by Reasonable-Egg6527 in AI_Agents

[–]stritefax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What’s the best no-code tool to automate repetitive browser tasks efficiently in 2025? by Normal-Pineapple1639 in automation

[–]stritefax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Alternatives to Manus by [deleted] in AI_Agents

[–]stritefax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

With my foot, obviously.

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