Show HN: Hocuspocus 4 – self-hosted Yjs collaboration backend 11 by philipisik | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! I'm Philip, one of the founders of Tiptap. Next to our open-source rich text editor framework, we started developing Hocuspocus about five years ago and open-sourced it too, to solve one of our biggest challenges back then: real-time collaboration in web editors. We found Yjs by Kevin Jahns, a CRDT library that handles concurrent edits without conflicts. Basically, Yjs merges changes from users without conflicts and in real-time. Hocuspocus is the WebSocket server built on top of Yjs. It handles real-time sync, presence/awareness, persistence, and Redis-based scaling. While we use Hocuspocus at Tiptap as the collaboration backend for our cloud services, it also works with any Yjs client (Slate, Quill, Monaco, ProseMirror, or your own setup), and Yjs documents aren't limited to text at all. You can sync any structured data through them, and in the meantime we see...

Show HN: Statewright – Visual state machines that make AI agents reliable 11 by azurewraith | 0 comments on Hacker News. Agentic problem solving in its current state is very brittle. I fell in love with it, but it creates as many problems as it solves. I'm Ben Cochran, I spent 20+ years in the trenches with full-stack Engineering, DevOps, high performance computing & ML with stints at NVIDIA, AMD and various other organizations most recently as a Distinguished Engineer. For agents to work reliably you either need massive parameter counts or massive context windows to keep the solution spaces workable. Most people are brute forcing reliability with bigger models and longer prompts. What if I made the problem smaller instead of making the model bigger? I took a different approach by using smaller models: models in the 13-20B parameter range and set them to task solving real SWE-bench problems. I constrained the tool and solution spaces using formal state machines. Each state ...
