Ask HN: Has anyone shipped a self-modifying application with LLMs?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49366144In the past the model for software would typically be to ship a fixed application and then if users need some custom functionality, they would need to install a plugin or create their own.For non technical users they would have to find an existing plugin or maybe it doesn't exist so they are stuck.But I can't help but think why wouldn't for example an application just have a prompt box that builds an extension dynamically on the fly (e.g. "make me a UI panel with some buttons that does X")Obviously it would be "use at your own risk" and YMMVHave any companies or applications actually done something like this?I think modifying the real source code would get out of hand but perhaps just generating extensions that have access to a sand boxed set of safer APIs.

Show HN: TurnLeft – a one-button stock car racing game in the browserhttps://turnleft.appThe only control is tapping the screen to turn your car left.I built this mostly with Fable 5 over the course of a few weeks. I had to tweak a fair amount of the graphics to get them where I wanted, but 100% of the code was written by Fable 5.The idea was to make a really simple top-down retro racing game that runs entirely in the browser. You can also save it to your phone as a PWA.I wanted it to be immediately playable with basically no instructions, something you can open, play for a few minutes while killing time, close, and come back to later.Would love to hear what you think.

Show HN: CIYA – Purely Deterministic AIhttps://iiio.app?u=showhnHey HN, Before we roll out our fully deterministic compiled language model (CLM), figured I'd post CIYA's v0.02 for you to try out. At this point CIYA acts as a storage and logic engine for any of your prompting needs, and is available via API/Websocket integration. If your company/project frequently repeats the same prompts, needs to template out those (or any) prompts, or wants to keep your business logic directly on site instead of giving it away to cloud providers, CIYA can do all of that for you.Feel free to pull up the guide using the command R: guide to see the current list of available tools like the ability to run applications, model your own datasets and build your own independent response tables.We've developed a clear path for CLM integration, allowing for a fully compiled language model that can resolve up to 1 million tokens (on-prem) in under 200ms without ever having to access an LLM.Feel free to checkout our landing page to get in touch: https://iiio.co, or run R: cont
