In that case, sorry for getting it wrong and throwing shade.

While it’s impressive work from the LLM and a TS implementation is novel, there’s at least a couple of pre-existing Python REs eg. https://github.com/jya-dev/supernote-tool :)

I work remotely, and when trying to discuss concepts with others, I frequently doodle things out with pen and paper (just like I used to on a whiteboard in an office). Having a Supernote means I can share my diagrams live on the call, just

I’m not excited about using Opus 5, mainly because the way that I work atm — essentially peer programming — means I sandbox the agents and work with them closely. Opus 4.x encounters the sandbox and moves on with its day; Fable becomes incr

Even well-supported, well-documented projects. I'm in the middle of a Spring Boot upgrade, which includes a collection of Hibernate updates. These are well-supported projects with -- theoretically -- fantastic documentation. But whe

I love my Forma. The only thing about it that makes me sad is the micro-USB port. I skipped the Sage because it was a side-grade (USB-C but worse battery), and now they've discontinued it with no clear future for the format. I really

Yeah. I guess what I'm saying is that I feel like we're all still stuck debating these things on technical merits alone. The `bun` rewrite and `pgrust` both expose something -- I find, at least! -- uncomfortable about how we und

Thanks, I'll take a look!

I think what folks want, but aren't quite able to articulate, is an ongoing community and effort that indicate a project will be healthy and maintained. We want to be able to rely upon the software that we are choosing to use. Regardl

Exciting, but I’d give a lot for an equivalent to Django. There are very few problems I need to solve that are fixed by htmx style “full stack” apps, but many that are solved by the generated admin, authentication framework, caching, eventi

Of all the things LLMs do, one of the most fun is that they help you get over that hump of activation energy for an idea. We all have limited spare time, and going from "hey this might be cool" to a working prototype in minutes i

I am bone tired of slop. This looks like a useful thing to build (the cameras in existing closed source robo vacuums creep me out), but when people don't even write their announcement blog post by hand it gives me zero confidence in t

16GiB Raspberry Pi 5s in my country are now going for ~$450USD, so I've gotta say that's out of reach for me now :(.

A lot of unit conversions are just built into Kagi (and Google!). "Searching" for "10nzd in usd" gives me a price, "10kg in lb" gives me a converted unit, etc.

The harness clamps what the agent can do. `bash` allows full code execution; a dedicated `mvn` tool might only allow `mvn compile` but not `mvn spring-boot:run`. You could probably implement this with an `allow` list attached to your `bas

Mine hasn't actually arrived yet! I'm still waiting for it in the mail. I don't think I'll tweak that much, all I really want to do is flash the published open source firmware, attach it to my tailnet and use it to contr

Possibly, I'm not really interested in learning Zig though (or learning to embed it in Rust). I'm sure that'd be a cool project for someone else to try :).

Unfamiliarity and I believe it requires a compile step. I’m at least familiar with Typescript and Deno so being able to embed them was an appealing idea :)

by frio 4mo ago
Yeah, it's been a bit of a dead end. I didn't want the heavy runtime but felt it was worth disproving after experimenting rather than ruling out off the bat. Even before getting it running, the dependency list alone was pretty d

I've been trying to use `Deno` underneath `Rust` so that the tools can still be written in Typescript and thus self-mutated without the compilation step (but I can still try to do clever things with V8 Isolates or similar). It's

Yes, that aggravates me too. I noted recently, Claude had a phase where it would write little one-off Python scripts to aid it in analysis -- which is super useful! But when it's written ten scripts in a row, each of which I've

Thanks, I've been tooling away in my spare time on my own version of this -- both to get a deeper understanding of agents (everyone suggests writing your own) and to help learn Rust. I'd like to retain `pi`'s configurability

I feel this a lot too these days. The only place the fun seems to remain for me is in Linux and in devices out of China, that you can hack and experiment with — like the Anbernic consoles, or the Xteink X4, or the little mp3 player DAP thin

The harnesses we have are almost stunningly incomplete IMHO. I've been trying `pi` recently, and quite like that it comes with a minimal set of tools by default -- and that I can easily override or replace the ones that it ships. I&#x
