We’ve built an AI risk assessment tool designed specifically for GenAI/LLM applications. It's still early, but we’d love your feedback. Here’s what it does: 1. it performs comprehensive AI risk assessments by analyzing your codebase against different AI regulation/framework or even internal policies. It identifies potential issues and suggests fixes directly through one click PRs. 2. the first framework the platform supports is OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2025, upcoming framework will be ISO 42001 as well as custom policy documents. 3. we're a small, early stage team, so the free tier offers 5 assessments per user. If you need more, just reach out, happy to help. 4. sign in via github is required. We request read access to scan code and write access to open PRs for fix suggestions. 5. we are looking for design partners to collaborate with us. If you are looking to build compliance-by-design AI products, we'd love to chat. product url: https://ift.tt/xrgojTp we'd really appreciate feedback on: - what you like - what you don't like - what do you want to see for the next major feature - bugs - any other feedback feel free to comment here or reach out directly: email: percyding@gettavo.com, linkedin: https://ift.tt/UZSzk4h

Show HN: ProcASM – A general purpose, visual programming lanugage
5 by Temdog007 | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I've been working as a software engineer since 2016. I've always had side projects that I would work on outside of my job. At first, it was just web games. But in 2021, I took an interest in programming languages and started making my own. When I got laid off from my job in late 2023 (budget cuts according to my employer), I decided to focus on becoming an independent developer and being able to monetize my own software. Since I was working on programming languages, my plan was to make a commercial grade programming language. Monetizing it would be difficult since there are so many free and open source programming languages out there. The only way I could think to stand out was to make something that hasn't been made before. General purpose programming languages DO exist; Visual programming languages DO exist. As far as I know, general purpose, visual programming languages DO NOT exist. So, that is what I decided to create. I wrote a blog on my website < https://temware.site/html/blogs/procasm_justification.html > talking about how ProcASM works and some justifications on why developers and companies would consider using it. There is documentation < https://procasm.temware.site/documentation.html > describing ProcASM's concepts in more detail. And, there is a manual < https://procasm.temware.site/manual.html > that describes how to use application itself. I have examples on the website < https://procasm.temware.site/procedure_view.html > showcasing how procedures are displayed in ProcASM. The images on that page are procedures, created in ProcASM, that were exported to SVG files from ProcASM. You can try out ProcASM for free in your browser here: < https://procasm.temware.site/demo.html > If you just want to see examples in ProcASM, use the links below to load projects in the demo. Sample Project: < https://procasm.temware.site/demo.html?sampleProject=https%3... > Execute the Procedures: *Fibonacci*, *Test: Fizz Buzz*, and *Guess Number* to get an idea on how ProcASM works. Network Project: < https://procasm.temware.site/demo.html?sampleProject=https%3... > This project contains examples of TCP clients and servers. If your using the browser version, you can load the project and view the procedures. However, you cannot execute any of the procedures in this project since they rely on native dynamic libraries which can't be executed in the browser. If you are using the desktop version, you can execute the procedures: Test TCP Client, Test TCP Server, and Test HTTP Server. This page < https://procasm.temware.site/getting_started.html?show=netwo... > can help you with compiling a dynamic library on you machine. Support Forum Project: < https://procasm.temware.site/demo.html?sampleProject=https%3... > To ensure that ProcASM was suitable for software development, I decided to create something non-trivial with it; the back-end for the support forum < https://forum-procasm.temware.site >. The project was transpiled to C code using ProcASM (available only for the desktop versions). Then, that C code was compiled on a FreeBSD machine to generate an executable. That executable is running on a FreeBSD server. The *Server* procedure is the *main* procedure for the application. The dynamic library is not available. So, you can only view the procedures in this project.

Some time ago, I was implementing saves for my LOVE2D game. I wanted to do a full dump of the game state -- which included closures (AI), complex graphs, sets with tables as keys and also fundamentally non-serializable data (coroutines and userdata), that require user-defined serialization/deserialization logic. I went through every Lua serialization library -- none covered all data types/cases. So I wrote my own. It is a polished version, thoroughly annotated, tested and documented. It is made to be as functional and customizable as possible (or at least I did everything I could think of). I would be happy to hear suggestions/corrections for both code and documentation -- even nitpicky ones.

Show HN: Filter out engagement bait & politics on your X/Twitter feed.

hi friends! i'm pretty tired of engagement bait and all the political nonsense on my x/twitter feed. i was curious if i could use an llm to filter out these type of content, so i prototyped a quick chrome extension. it uses LLama 3.3 to analyze the tweet through https://groq.com/ (because they are super-super fast). the extension is available in the chrome store, also there is a link to the repo. - you can tweak the system prompt for the filtering - but you need your own API key from Groq (you can get one for free)
