I am working on another iOS to help me learn Japanese, this time for explaining grammar. Put in a Japanese sentence, tap Analyze and you get grammar detected, highlighted, explained. There is a public testflight if anyone is interested https://setsumeiapp.kulman.sk/

#202Lots of fun projects being listed. I'm working on Preloop(https://preloop.dev), a way to run your unmodified Github Actions locally or self-hosted in isolated cross-platform microvms(uses smolvm which uses libkrun vmm).I got frustrated with Github Actions reliability and inability to run or test my workflows locally so i re-wrote the runner and reverse-engineered the control plane so it follows the exact runner protocol the offficial runner does. Each job runs in a microvm that boots in 400ms from a packed image. Also supports a way to pause on every failure so you or your agent can immediately shell at that point, fix and retry(in a new environment) to verify. Also supports the full DAP protocol so you can interactively step/forward/investigate context at each step/job.
Try it out: https://github.com/preloopdev/preloop

#204I’m currently on the beach at Google (since mid July), so I’m looking internally and externally for a new role. But I’m exhausted, so I’m playing around with local LLMs and DeepSeek more as well. I’m currently trying to get an agent harness going where orchestration happens via bazel, and agents are completely isolated beyond what context you give them access to as expressed in starlark. Agent executions are organize…
Wtf is beach period?

Does on the beach mean gardening leave? I'm not familiar with the term.

#206GrandpaCAD - AI 3D modeling software focused on simplicity. Made it so even my grandpa could model.
He’s been asking me for years when will I teach him how to 3D model. I tried, we failed and then I seen him use ChatGPT so I knew there was a better way than traditional CAD tools.
Recently we also got European funding and the project got some traction. Very exciting times ahead.

Lot of people are building agent runtime platforms right now. Look at LiteLLM's play into the space, for example. It's the new hot space for innovation. IMO the main play here is going to be on the self hosted/provenance aspect, because every major provider is now branching into services now to try and entrap you into their hosted platform ecosystem with all of these integrations

#208I redesigned my portfolio page (https://yaman.pro) and my Hacker News Reader hn30 (https://hn30.eu) and added a new feature to it since I subscribed to Cursor Pro recently.
I‘m still working on it and adding features to my other side-project which is a local prompt library (https://bearprompt.com).

Does it need to be actual Bazel or could it be a similar but simpler, purpose-built system?

I’ve been waiting for a spine surgery and to do something with my time I started experimenting with an idea I had. It completely pulled me in, and helps me to distract myself.
It is work in progress, lacks of documentation, I am not even sure I will release it.
