> bingeineering i'm gonna start using this

because it seems like the human mind does this and it was easy to start with. The human mind obviously also compresses by other dimensions so we'll keep experimenting suggestions f…

fair point. the headlong agent running on my mac mini, cleo, doesn't pause between calls to "generate next thought". for a while the implementation didn't support pausing between t…

Should maybe have said more loudly in the posts that this is not intended to be disciplined engineering (or used in prod!) we did think about the architecture quite a bit and we've…

andy here (headlong post author). terminal bench 3 is pretty popular for comparing different harnesses using the same underlying model (it's another laude project actually). artifi…

andy here - happy to answer questions

I hope the competition will inspire people to make breakthroughs in the open, so I won't take any rights to the IP, instead the winning solutions must use open source code and open…

yes the prize money is from me to the winners

That has a double meaning - half tongue in cheek. 1) since we are creating a contamination-free version of SWE-bench (i.e. scraping a new test set after submissions are frozen) it …

(reposting from locallama and lower down here) yep that's true. one of my goals is to inspire and honor those that work on open source AI. Those people tend to be motivated by thin…

andy here - happy to answer questions. Also, I answered a bunch of questions yesterday on LocalLLaMA that people here might find interesting https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/com…

yeah i agree. one of my goals is to inspire and honor those that work on open source AI. people who work on open source tend to be motivated by things like impact and the excitemen…

I tweeted this on stage at NeurIPS on weds: "I'll give $1M to the first open source AI that gets 90% on this sweet new contamination-free version of SWE-bench - http://kprize.ai " …

done! in the "Alternatives and related projects" section I just added to the ht readme -- https://github.com/andyk/ht/blob/main/README.md#alternatives...

Sorry, my wording wasn't very clear. I wasn't trying to imply that ht is more geared towards scripting than `expect` (in fact I'd say `expect` is more scripting-oriented being an e…

I tried to contrast to `expect` in a couple of my other responses, but yeah this is my sense too after looking briefly at `expect` - that ht always transparently sets up a terminal…

andyk here. it's clear our readme is lacking use cases! adding some now. When we introduced ht on twitter I gave a little more context -- https://x.com/andykonwinski/status/1796589…

thanks for surfacing `expect` to our attention. I'll add a compare/contrast to the ht readme

Interesting. When we decided to build ht we didn't compare it to expect (which I hadn't heard of or used) but I'm comparing the two now as they seem related. How exactly did `expec…

Include in your input json the ascii control character that the keyboard combo would generate (e.g., \x03 for ctrl-c). To send control-c to the terminal, for example, you'd send th…

Yep this was my main reason for wanting it, though lots of other good ideas in these HN comments.

I shared the motivating use case for why Marcin and I built this (LLM agents using terminals) in a diff comment but I’ll also expand the readme to give examples of use cases.

Oh this is cool. I looked at using tmux before we built ht because I’ve used screen and tmux forever. I didn’t find libtmux though. Will def check it out.
