    I was just looking at conductor and was not very jazzed about the fact that it was running the agents directly on the host. Being able to launch from a terminal means this one can …

    I think generally harnesses have this. In claude code it's `"preferredNotifChannel": "terminal_bell"` in the settings.json, pi and opencode looks like you have to either add a hook…

    Hmm, where have I seen a story before where a kid wants their parents to read the same book over and over. I can't quite put my finger on it...

    Hell, I grew up with English as my first language and I still learned a lot of obscure vocabulary from magic! It's definitely not so good these days, but a format called premodern …

    Alive 2007 is a bit late to be the 90s though

    Lock picking is great! Many security conferences will have a "lockpick village" where there are just a bunch of locks, lockpicks, and volunteers teaching people how to do it.

    This looks really promising, I am curious about the choice to use containers as the isolation layer though. If the goal is to treat agents as untrusted and isolate them fully I fee…

    This sounds fascinating, if you ever write more about it I'd love to read it!

    Last rc is 2025 but there are at least still new commits (one from 3 hours ago)

    It's bitter for me because I like looking at how things work under the hood and that's much less satisfying when it's "a bunch of stats and linear algebra that just happens to work…

    I guess it's nice for non-technical people who don't know how to use `about:config` but beyond that I don't really see the need. Hopefully adding that extra layer of indirection do…

    This is exactly why I just bought one! I take the bus to work, but I live about 1.5k from the nearest bus stop and it's pretty flat. Unfortunately it's just starting to be icy here…
