Check out Ki editor https://ki-editor.org/ — core movements based on AST

I guess I fail to see why this is such a problem. Yes it would be nice if the wire format were standardized or had a standard schema description, but is writing a parser that handl…

AFAIK that's not really true, at least of modern vapes. Their function is not to "make fire", it's to heat a metal coil to a specific temperature at which propylene glycol and vege…

IMO it does not. At least to me the meaning and value of something is in the creative human design behind it, not the tools used to build it. I don’t think AI changes much there. I…

I wrote the vscode extension for Ki. It would almost certainly be usable with Zed since it talks with the editor over a websocket. Check out the code in the Ki repo.

Yeah that’s it. Bundles the editor binary with the extension so you don’t have to install it separately.

I made the vscode integration for this. I feel bad that I haven’t contributed much since, it’s a really cool project. IMO it’s important to try to innovate in the foundational tool…

Yeah, it's unfortunate but it's not really react-native/facebook's fault. Apple doesn't allow any sort of JIT to run on iOS outside of their builtin webkit js engine. That means th…

Yes! I (experimentally) compiled and packaged it for react-native. Postgres on iOS and Android https://github.com/electric-sql/pglite/pull/774

Romulus was pretty good actually. If you want great newer aliens universe play the game Alien: Isolation. It’s the best piece of media in the aliens universe since Aliens. It’s an …

Alien: Isolation truly is an under appreciated masterpiece. One of the best video games ever made IMO. Aesthetic, sound design (put on headphones and watch the reactor purge scene …

My prolog anecdote: ~2001 my brother and I writing an A* pathfinder in prolog to navigate a bot around the world of Asheron's Call (still the greatest MMORPG of all time!). A forma…

Personally I’ve been using Brave browser on desktop and iOS. It has some of the best adblocking on mobile. Also use adguard pro which provides dns level filtering.

It certainly doesn’t feel good to have turned out being correct after warning that this is where we were headed way back in the dubyah years. This has always been the plan, it hasn…

I’ve been experimenting with this, it’s a very interesting problem space! https://github.com/evelant/synchrotron Idea is to sync business logic calls instead of state. Let business…

Cool stuff! This looks quite similar to https://traycer.ai/ I think there's probably a lot of value to be gained in tooling for coding agents that codify and enhance the describe -…

I’ve largely solved this with the context7 mcp server. Any time my prompt is likely to touch apis I know the LLM will get wrong I tell it to review the docs with context7 first.

It would be up to application logic. This prototype essentially offers the same behavior you would get with a traditional backend API except it works offline. The results would be …

It does not pick an arbitrary order for operations. They happen in total (known at the time, eventually converging) order across all clients thanks to hybrid logical clocks. If eve…

You're right, it's not the same as conflict/merge semantics, but you probably could implement those semantics on top of it. My idea was more about being able to merge offline state…

For a text document a normal CRDT is perfect. They're very good for that specific case. What I tried to solve is eventual consistency that _also_ preserves application semantics. F…

I've prototyped something attempting to solve this problem of preserving user intent and maintaining application semantics. See comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45…

See my comment below, I prototyped something like this. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45180325

The pattern I came up with is similar to event sourcing but with some CRDT and offline-first concepts mixed in. By using logical clocks and a client side postgres (pglite) it doesn…
