Great question. We've implemented a series of extensible hallucination guardrails that are hyper focused on task completion, to deal with various error states, and ultimately get the user to what they wanted complete in the final stages. While AgentE and Skyvern are great platforms that ease the setup of task completion agents, they still lack in being able to get a simple task done. I've tried multiple times to book a restaurant on skyvern and AgentE, but the agents never got to completion. We've approached this very differently with Toivo.


We overlay the schema and your query history to develop a strong understanding of the underlying data using multiple foundational and custom AI models. This helps us better interpret a question and show relevant results as a visualization. Sometimes we don't get it right, but have measures in place to let a user provide additional context to get to the right results.


Hi, author here. Forgot to mention in the post that it's on the iOS app store here --> https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zing-datagpt-data-viz-ai/id156...


Can someone help me understand the extent of possible damage by having a webcam cover? This might at least inform me if its worth the risk.

When Apple says "you might damage your display because the clearance between the display and keyboard is designed to very tight tolerances", do they mean?

- the display itself could have scratches?

- the display connector at the hinge has a chance of weakening?

- others?


Here you go.

Edit: Also, from my limited research, the repair cost w/out AppleCare+ (or regular AppleCare if they don't count it as accidental damage) is around $1,000.


Extra pressure on the LCD cover glass.

On my MBA there's a small metal lip around the lid and the LCD is recessed into that. Something thicker than the lip sitting on the glass would negate the relief the lip provides.


The webcam is behind the same pane of glass as the display. It's similar construction to a typical modern cell phone.

When the laptop is closed, the webcam lands around the bottom of the trackpad. There's a small gap between the screen and the lower lid, and the trackpad is recessed slightly, but not by much, and it doesn't have any "give". A bulky webcam cover will strike the trackpad and may shatter the glass of the display and/or the trackpad, especially if the laptop is closed quickly.


MacBook Pro screens have gotten cracked due to camera covers: https://www.macrumors.com/2020/07/10/apple-macbook-camera-co...


I had a basic post-it like bookmark sticker on my macbook pro camera for years. Over time the black coating on the bezels started wearing off where the sticker was placed. Not much of an issue though, as this was purely a cosmetic issue.


If the camera cover is too thick it's very easy to crack the display itself by closing the lid too quickly


Thanks for this comment, I'm empathetic and am in a similar boat. I'm curious if there are managers/companies out there that are expecting the same level of productivity from their staff during these times?

I for one expect lower productivity from my staff whether or not they have kids, and am adjusting delivery dates to account for this.


The list of EU defined tax havens is intentionally incomplete without including Ireland, Malta and Switzerland.

and English Channel islands, London, Luxembourg, for some purposes Netherlands and so on. Heck, even Denmark is often rated as tax haven because of certain advantages [1]

I think the website is pretty snazzy and is illustrative. Is this a WordPress template? If so, would you recommend any managed WordPress hosting site - WpEngine? Our performance on Siteground with Cloudflare has been less than stellar.


Not OP but also I've heard Cloudways is good for managed WP hosting https://www.cloudways.com/en/

I've used WPEngine and haven't experienced much issue myself. Their support has been good and pretty helpful with managing tricky mysql situations.


yes it is a wordpress template. it is hosted in azure. so far it's holding up - even with frontpage HN traffic.

I have used dreamhost for other sites but the performance is so-so... Not bad but not great either...

another option but more hands on is a digital ocean droplet - it's also a little more pricey.


> Now they'll own the entire stack and have a great integration story for enterprises. Even though containers have been around 3+ year's in the form of docker, corporations still don't have a scooby on how to integrate their existing deployment and development workflows.

I second this. If its a legacy stack, enterprises struggle to fully containerize their apps and commit to deploying with a container orchestration layer like OpenShift or Kubernetes. IMHO, we need more enterprises to get over this barrier, than view it as a passion project by over eager devops' teams...


I'd add that the vitriol against Equifax partly arises from everyone's distaste of CRA's (credit reporting agencies) owing to their magic 8 ball scheme of ranking credit. There may also be some reserved anti-sub-prime sentiment that lingers from 2008.

At the very least, I hope this will cause lenders and credit reporters to take data security very seriously.
