    The 3090s also don't have enough VRAM to run larger models too. It really comes down to how you like to develop (synchronously with lots of steering vs async agentic)

    GasTown was crazy but had a rough shape that was ahead of its time. I think https://github.com/kunchenguid/firstmate is a much better, and easier to understand version of agent orc…

    Now that even the smaller models from labs (Luna, deepseek v4 flash) are getting powerful, I think the orchestrator pattern of a smart model coordinating smaller models for work wi…

    Yes, that's true, but in the post, they even mention that building the spec is the scarce resource. For that to work, the swarm has to actually follow the spec, which is what much …

    Yeah, agreed. It makes everything else look pretty bad. I still like to manage my work in a more structured form, but Codex can just rip on a goal end to end in the same thread.

    You also might like https://github.com/nicobailon/pi-boomerang that lets you effectively do some work, compact that section with a summary and continue on.

    I'm pretty annoyed with how fast this feels. Wish MacOS was this fast launching things.

    oh yeah, sorry, I should've started my comment with "this is awesome" because it is, you did a great job explaining all the layers and the interactions within. I love stuff like th…

    A few of us built nearly the exact same thing for a Hackathon which was fun. This definitely can work. There are a couple of other approaches too that are interesting like - xata -…

    This is really pretty, but I'm surprised it doesn't have a microphone. I know it's just rebranding the existing work louder creator keyboard, but a mic would really, really help wi…

    What's better about the dedicated player out of curiosity?

    I wouldn't care where my data went if it was to help my children.

    I would say one thing I've enjoyed about the latest frontier models from US labs is that you just work at a higher level of abstraction. You can talk about the end goal and it'll j…

    I wouldn't call this minor. The 2 big features seem to be integrated memory + ambient proactiveness. This requires pretty intense tuning to not be annoying.

    I've found the prompting needs are drastically different from the latest frontier models to the latest open weight models. I can be much more vague and talk about an end goal with …

    Cursor had a specific licensing agreement that allowed them to brand it how they want.

    I wonder if new models will be trained with speculative decoding as a core feature allowing fewer experts to be needed for a pass.

    I'm a big PGDog fan! It really helped us scale our connection proxy needs pretty substantially and it has great features like auto mode to support Aurora failovers neatly. It's inf…

    Happy to chat about this, but we use the AWS secrets manager flowing into External Secrets Operator to generate a pgdog_users.toml. We then kick off a workflow to refresh things, b…

    iOS 27 supports devices all the way down to the iPhone 11, so I think they're doing pretty well here.

    Great post! There are some neat tricks around completion initing that I'll have to grab. I use fish shell and have done a bunch of optimization around async git statuses too.

    for sure! but there are lots of incremental shareable primitives that could help. I think about go's built in testing tools that can get extended as an example

    Very happy for them, they made excellent tools and I hope they can continue their work! I do believe though that these tools (formatting, linting etc.) should be built into the lan…

    In addition to this, the labs are all building managed cloud agents, where they can tune better models and better harnesses. If you want the best performance, you'll eventually hav…

    There will always be a gap, but what's interesting is that because new models are constantly coming out, we as an industry never spend any time extracting the maximal value out of …
