I think some people mistake "I don't value the human layer of a communication" with "The human layer has no value". A presentation is a live audio visual medium. If you just want t…

Isn't it just arguing that one complex weighted graph was tuned to output tokens that more align with what current day users would define as 'taste'? I don't think it necessarily s…

Do you rewrite the specs with new requirement changes if they've already been implemented? How do you supercede a spec? I've been using LLMs daily and I spun up a few spec driven f…

- building a reliable enough system out of unreliable parts is pretty fun for me. It's a different kind of puzzle. - pi-agent or code your own harness, it is not hard. - codex for …

Yeah I can kind of see that and if you don't like them you don't like them. Not all tools are for all people. I personally draw the line at plugins that try to set up entire workfl…

I was already spending a lot of time reviewing other people's code. It makes no difference to me if it's coming from an agent or a person. I can pick and choose which parts of the …

What would you consider a "hard" problem?

I don't think they do but you can always use OpenCode or Pi Agent.

Same loved them, told my team about them, got them to switch off of cursor, now I'm telling them to swap to Codex. Anthropic really pissed me off with their harness crap. They're w…

I don't maintain this anymore but I experimented with this a while back: https://github.com/jx-codes/lootbox Essentially you give the agent a way to run code that calls MCP servers…

It can and it does especially combined with skills (context files). It can hit REST APIs with CURL just fine. MCP is basically just another standard. Where it comes in handy has mo…

Not the guy who made it but I immediately wondered if I could use the intermediate steps with some "outline" mode to help me see things in shapes and finally learn to draw a bit.

It's a process that I don't have conscious control over. I don't choose to think random thoughts they appear. Which is different than thoughts I consciously choose to think and eng…

Our entire extistence and experience is nothing _but_ input. Temperature changes, visual stimulus, auditory stimulus, body cues, random thoughts firing, etc.. Those are all going o…

I don't agree entirely with this. I know why the LLM wrote the code that way. Because I told it to and _I_ know why I want the code that way. If people are letting the LLM decide h…

Hey HN! I built a CLI that unifies MCP tools and your custom functions under one code execution interface. Think serverless functions for your coding assistant but on your local ma…

"It sounds like it could be xyz, but let me double check and I'll let you know in a few/hour/day/" OR "No clue. Let me do some digging first." Have literally never had this come up…

Like the the other commenter said, just for the permissions. If Bun had a sandbox I'd use it. Deno isn't my cup of tea (although I appreciate it more after building with it the pas…

Yes I'm actually not too fond of the DX of Deno. I don't know why. It's a perfectly fine runtime and the permissions are obviously great but the texture is off if that makes sense.…

Haha yes, yes it is. I wrote out and implemented that approach in the links below. I've been playing with it for a few hours and I have to say I actually really really like it. One…

https://github.com/jx-codes/mcp-rpc For those of you interested, I wrote out and built an more RPC typescript centric approach to avoid using other MCP servers at all. Would apprec…

Oh this sounds so awesome. The memory system sounds very cool. I could imagine decaying memories in the graph, their initial salience being N then as it gets referenced more and mo…

I built this after reading Cloudflare's "Code Mode" article and building my own local version (link below). Instead of making MCP tool calls, LLMs write TypeScript against auto-gen…

Says something about my coding haha. Yeah since it's using Deno it'd be cool just use Deno throughout. Definitely gotta clean up the code quite a bit.

So this is a first pass to capture the workflow part (mix code and MCP calls). The fetch code isn't any better than the tool code I agree, but typescript code is more common so I'd…
