On: Show HN: ArchGW – An intelligent edge and service proxy for agents

[isuckatcoding]

I’m still new to this ecosystem but is this something you’d use together with langchain or does it replace some use cases there?

[honorable_coder → isuckatcoding]

What’s missing right now are our guides showing how well ArchGW integrates with existing frameworks and tools. But the core idea is simple: it offloads low-level responsibilities—like routing, safety, and observability—that frameworks like LangChain currently try to handle inside the app. That means less bloat and more clarity in your agent logic.

And importantly, some things just can’t be done well in a framework. For example, enforcing global rate limits across LLMs isn’t realistic when each agent instance holds its own local state. That kind of cross-cutting concern needs to live in infrastructure—not in application code.

ArchGW complements langchain rather than replacing it - langchain handles agent orchestration/reasoning while ArchGW provides the infrastructure layer for prompt processing, guardrails and routing across your entire system.

I was expecting example queries but all I got was how to install a package :(

Now do a podcast series interviewing founders on what went wrong

There's a brewery owner named Kelly Meyer who does this for breweries. It's extremely educational. One for startups would be an awesome listen

Because certain countries immediately evoke knee jerk reaction. Iran bad. US good. Simple black and white view

First thought: “Pepe Silvia! Pepe Silvia! I got boxes of Pepe Silvia!”

Second thought: is this meant to work in mobile as well or not really? Tried it on chrome IOS and could not move the tiles around.

Yeah mobile touch on the text editors isn’t working right and I couldn’t figure it out. But I will figure it out!

Aren’t sequential numeric keys for the logs like this going to pose a hot partition problem at some point or is that only for prefixes?

On: Eye Contact Correction: Redirecting the eyes to look at the camera

[isuckatcoding]

Cool but why…?

[karlgkk → isuckatcoding]

Apple does this on the iPhone, by default. When you're looking at someone's face on FaceTime, it modifies the position of your eyes to be looking directly at the camera - so the person on the other end sees you looking at them.

[s4i → karlgkk]

Really? We FaceTime a lot with my wife and I keep telling her that I can see her looking at her own face in the corner instead or me. Is that tech accurate enough to tell that the person is looking at themselves and not the other participant, and then not correcting the eyes if that’s the case?

Anyway, I’d much prefer if Apple didn’t silently alter the eye direction of people calling me.

[karlgkk → s4i]

I think their adjustment is very minor and only happens when you're looking directly at the camera. It's minor enough that you've almost certainly seen it and not noticed. She may have the setting disabled, or she may be looking far enough away from the camera that it isn't triggering.

Would be nice to pair this with some actual real life example ads

Not sure why the media is running this title but from the official report:

“ The Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund will be able to pay 100 percent of total scheduled benefits until 2033, unchanged from last year's report. At that time, the fund's reserves will become depleted and continuing program income will be sufficient to pay 79 percent of scheduled benefits”
