    Hi everyone, here's a web app I made that generates code for efficiently approximating mathematical functions. This is useful when performance matters more than perfect accuracy, for example in embedded systems. The app uses Chebyshev expansions, which despite their theoretical depth result in suprisingly compact and readable code in practice. This code is generated for you and using it does not require any knowledge of the underlying theory. Source code and more info: https://github.com/stuffmatic/chebyshev-calculator

    Live extension analysis: Point us at a Chrome/Edge/Firefox extension (store URL or CRX). We spin up a safe sandbox and observe it in real time—permissions use, message passing, storage writes, network calls, remote code loading, and UI injections. Package scanning: Paste an npm/package URL or code. We do quick static + dynamic checks: install/postinstall scripts, obfuscation/eval, exfil endpoints, suspicious APIs, and typosquat/reputation signals.

    Hey HN, I made Browser-Use, an open-source tool that lets (all Langchain supported) LLMs execute tasks directly in the browser just with function calling. It allows you to build agents that interact with web elements using natural language prompts. We created a layer that simplifies website interaction for LLMs by extracting xPaths and interactive elements like buttons and input fields (and other fancy things). This enables you to design custom web automation and scraping functions without manual inspection through DevTools. Hasn't this been done a lot of times? Good question, as a general…
