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 encounte…

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 …

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 disconti…

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 f…

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 …

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 th…

I keep coming back to this https://tombedor.dev/human-attention-and-human-effort/ The number of things that make it to the top of HN/Reddit/wherever now that are devoid a human's t…

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 m…

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 announcem…

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…

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, att…

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 :)

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…

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 …

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 w…

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 Rus…

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 c…

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 e…

I've always thought of it as lightweight, but checking it now, wow.

I also disliked that and discovered you can toggle it with config now :).

I use the television task described here ( https://zed.dev/blog/hidden-gems-part-2 ) for that experience :)
