> Who ultimately determines the meaning of a public space: its designers, authorities, or the people who use it? Restrooms are unique in that they are available to the public but, due to their inherently private nature, are a place where

Agreed 100% for the consumer case: an empty chatbox is just about the least sticky surface I could ever imagine. I saw a mobile interstitial ad for Kimi recently whose hook was basically "Tired of paying for expensive ChatGPT? Download

Hasn't it always been the premise that intelligence would get cheaper? To me, on the enterprise side, it seems like firms are finally getting the memo that, whether you are locked into the Ant/OAI ecosystem or not, you don't

I swear every time I think I have a unique tweak for an OSS tool, it turns out someone else did it. I forked CLIProxyAPI myself to add something similar, though my implementation is closer to a provider-egress DLP layer and it's intend

I have a Honor MagicBook Art with a Snapdragon X Elite I got off of Aliexpress and love it. It's only available in China and the EU AFAIK. The seller initially sent me a Thinkpad with a Pentium III, claimed it was a 'mistake'

I didn't end up needing to go full scrcpy because my use case just runs Android in an emulator (Waydroid) for my Hermes agent to run apps. If I need vision or (x,y) coordinate interaction, I can just screenshot the emulator window and

What was the modality of interpreting the UI/interacting with the phone via ADB? Did you/your agent use screenshots + vision model to essentially target coordinates on screen? I ask because I'm curious if you found a non-scre

If you find out, let me know! I have been working on a port of Excalidraw to my ReMarkable Pro and it's opened my eyes to how much we take for granted in terms of UI interactions when we assume we have a 30+hz screen with no to minimal

Well said. And when you put it that way (we have not figured out how to retain control over the computer in the face of these abstractions), I almost laughed out loud because of how true it is. Some of the worst, most confusing codebases I

It seems like the main takeaway is that many textbook OO paradigms aren't the most optimized representations of the code. In this case, the cost is dynamic dispatch and pointer-chasing. This is a function of the Shape abstraction, but

This is precisely why I run a custom fork of CLIProxyAPI on a private railway server for all my agentic coding. The OG version is indispensable already and has XAI Oauth support, so you can use your subscription to call Grok from any Anthro

I agree 100%. I've been the resident 'tech guy' among my friends and family for as long as I can remember, and I thought that LLMs would be the definite end to all 'blurry picture of computer screen captioned with "

have you tried 5.2? I agree that 5.1 and prior were below Kimi, Mimo, Qwen, Minimax, and probably Deepseek (depending on task), but 5.2 (especially unquantized) feels like something else. Now I feel like that I'm covered by GLM 5.2 and

Highly agree with much of the article. IMO, this is why many engineers who learned to code in the post-2010 'new hot framework every week' era but before LLM coding took hold are able to get much better results from AI assisted co

100%. I think I hadn't fully internalized the open source vs trademark ethe (TIL that's the disputed plural of ethos) in my head. I had two nightmare scenarios: the first was where people would say "you copied Notepad++ and d

The timing of this is very funny for me, personally. After the Claude Code Rust re-implementation, I wanted to see how far I could push 'spec-driven development' by re-implementing Notepad++ for Linux. I used four agentic loops to

Now that's a throwback and is definitely my goto on macOS. I remember I did a bunch of chores in order to buy a Visa gift card just to purchase it. Was much easier than explaining to my parents what SFTP was and why I needed to borrow

After seeing how quickly those hooligans re-wrote Claude Code in Rust from the leaked sourcemap, I actually made a spec-driven Linux port using Claude Code, Kimi, and Codex just to see if it was possible. Frankly, I thought I was the only h
