>the performance of git isn’t a bottleneck for agents. Eh, it depends on the workflow. Especially if you have certain stack based workflows. Worktrees are kinda half solution here but depending on the repo type and if you are dealing wit

The post just explains along with the new ADB access, you can now also build your own hacks or port existing apps to run on your Portal using newly published AI skills (originally built for Meta Quest/Horizon OS) that document the tech

This is silly. Critical security and bug fixes come out and you are going to wait because you think older must be safer just to avoid a supply chain attack issue? Just secure the supply chain. Be critical about your dependencies and update

I built a MCP server that solves this actually. It works like a tool calling proxy that calls child servers but instead of serving them up as direct tool calls, it exposes them as typescript defintions, asks your LLM to write code to invoke

I wrote a better version of this idea: https://github.com/zbowling/mcpcodeserver It works as an MCP proxy of sorts that converts all the child MCP tools into typescript annotations, asks your LLM to generate typescript

I specifically built this as an MCP server. It works like an MCP server that proxies to other MCP servers and converts the tool defintions in to typescript anotations and asks your llm to generate typescript that runs in a restricted VM to

I hacked together a new MCP server this weekend that can significantly cut down the overhead with direct tool calling with LLMs inside different agents, especially when making multiple tool calls in a more complex workflow. Inspired by the

synology doens't even compete with synology anymore because all the new hardware requires locked in synology drives now. It's creating a void that is getting filled with Ugreen, Minisforum, beelink, Aoostor for invoative platforms

Try pixi! Pixi is a much more sane way for building with conda + pypi packages in a single tool that makes this so much easier for torch development, regardless if you get the condaforge or pypi builds of pytorch. https://pixi.sh

We forgot how to build websites like this. Lost art. Even the page is encoded iso-8859-1 and not UTF-8.

I worked on Mono a lot back in the early 2000s (back in the SVN days before it moved to Git, even). This move makes a lot of sense. Things evolved a lot over the years. Mono's legacy goals, which are to be a portable CLR (.NET) runtime

As someone who used GitHub for years (2009-2014), got acquired into a big tech company for 8 years, so I didn't get to use it much, and then got to go back to a startup that used it again, it feels like a totally different product. It&

Nah. Your objections are rooted in the very limited definition of what an OS is and what a user application model is that fits it. There is no reason why each process/app can't be sandboxed. In fact, it should be for security (we

This would break a bunch of little things in annoying ways. Like I have shell script tools that store shell scrollback logs in .cache, and I want that past reboot.

It's true that Linux has a stable-ish syscall table. What is funny is that this caused a whole series of Samsung Android phones to reboot randomly with some apps because Samsung added a syscall at the same position someone else did in

And go is wrong for doing that, at least on Linux. It bypasses optimizations in the vDSO in some cases. On Fuchsia, we made direct syscalls not through the vDSO illegal and it was funny the hacks to go that required. The system ABI of Linux

This sounds like bullshit generated by an LLM. How will we ever know for sure?
