good luck, nice idea, agents are fun and a bit scary sometimes!

Gambling feeds on human misery, it should never be normalized, they made the right decision.

I am using the older version of raspberry pi 3 B+ to host mail and web services locally behind firewalls. There is a use case here for developing for remote areas that have unrelia…

My son wants to throw it away, I want to at least try and reuse it.

Any suggestions for an ancient Chromebook? Have one that is managed by a school from 10 years ago and they failed to release the device. I am a fan of alpine Linux which i think ma…

I have mixed feelings about this, I hate the loss of slow "discovery" and the warm fuzzy feeling when you understand something that used to be Greek to you (unless of course you ar…

Absolutely, I give my agents access to MCP/API and they can check logs and setup checks for potential problems and whatever else

It is a really interesting debate, it seems to be a type of abstraction at least, with an interface as a natural language instead of a typed schema.

Neither really solved the problem, reality is too nuanced, AI fills the gap.

wow this is murky water, I love the abstraction of AI, I feel like the director of an orchestra creating beautiful music in code. I always resented having to write the same code ov…

I got a bill for about R900 for just having a look at some of their services? I will never use them again, they are huge so probably dont really care about small users I have actua…

Yes even I have used C# My anti MS is a reflex from many years of torment!

It is a great analogy. Also quite like Linus Torvalds likening of AI to a compiler. He argues that calling AI the "author" of code is the equivalent of saying a compiler wrote your…

I have made boards but never actually used them (the delay between need and supply is too long for me) I wish I could 3d print a board with all its components - instant gratificati…

Fair enough.

The real test of a programming language is its readabilty. I looked at lisp many times and it just doesn't do it for me.

Could this apply to workers that ingest email?

who would have thought :)

What open models are "recommended"? I like the Linux analogy, I struggled with Linux way back.

I have 3 new projects atm 1) Local hosted https://app.localmail.uk/ 2) Security guard android app 3) Fall detector android app https://site.localmail.uk/ The sites are AI generated…

I created three throwaway android apps in an afternoon to test my code. (All fairly well written) In software it is now possible to test ideas instantly, this is great for people l…

It has been running for about 20 days, have a small companies email and web site running locally. Would like to publish the setup so others can try it out as well. A fun thing was …
