#772This month I'm currently continuing to work on my opensource coding agent VT Code (https://github.com/vinhnx/VTCode). For the last few months I've been improving the harness and UI/UX. Focusing developer experience and TUI performance.

- test harness for voice agents. - multi platform formats (Retell, VAPI, Bland, LiveKit) compile down to a unified AgentGraph IR - import from one platform, test locally, export to another - use litellm, DSPY to config models, if on a subscription use claudecode as a runner to avoid API call charges - metric judges produce continuous 0-1 scores instead of binary pass/fail since a 0.65 and a 0.35 both fail a 0.7 threshold but represent very different agent behaviors. - persist to DuckDB for querying across test history - adding auto-healing graph mutations where failed tests propose structural + prompt changes to the agent graph and validate against a regression suite
Wrote up the architecture here https://peet.ldee.org/general/2026/02/03/testing-voice-ai-ag...

#776I hacked together a tech demo of a personal project to add a Jetson Orin Nano to augment the Nikon autofocus system. (Camera->HDMI->Jetson processing->USB control->Camera)
https://github.com/jerich/jetson-face-af
It was a personal project to let Claude Code loose and have something to talk about on LinkedIn, hopefully to start a conversation about how to add some more advanced, more personal, functions to the powerful AF systems out there.
“Nikon AF does a great job of recognizing faces, but it doesn’t know which faces I care about.”
But I wanted to augment, not completely take over the camera; keep the Nikon shooting ergonomics intact.
Even the latest and greatest cameras will lag the processing power of something like a Jetson Nano, or even a mobile chipset, and cameras are meant to have lifetimes of years, so I think a smart camera manufacturer (hopefully Nikon) should add an easy external processing loop to let users add some extra smarts and automation.

#777Are AI failures really model problems, or governance problems?
Over the past year, we’ve seen AI systems hallucinate in courts, leak internal prompts, get manipulated by praise, or make decisions they were never meant to make.
Most discussions focus on:
better models
alignment
prompt design
But I’m starting to think many of these failures aren’t intelligence issues at all.
They’re governance issues.
In most real systems, we separate:
capability from permission
intelligence from authority
generation from action
AI systems often skip this and let agents act by default, then try to clean up afterward with filters.
Curious how others here think about:
eligibility checks before AI actions
graduated authority for agents
limiting influence rather than outputs
system-level governance outside the model
Is anyone building or experimenting with this kind of control layer?

#778Getting my novel published:
A broke kid wins a spot at a high-tech genius school and finds out the “cool” project is really mind control for the whole world. Now he has to out-hack teachers, drones, and a traitor friend using only his brain, his DIY skills, and the outlaw Mesh. Readers get wild gadgets, sneaky pranks, and fast chases—plus the chance to ask what they would do if adults tried to control every thought in their head.
Final edits from the editor are arriving this week - then I'm off to find a lit agent, hopefully get a publishing deal by the end of 2026. More info below.

Nice description, nice UI. How do you scale the difficulty? Do you have a puzzle generator algorithm, or is each puzzle made by hand?

#780I'm a solo dev building a handful of apps across different niches.. - Kvile ( https://kvile.app ) — A lightweight desktop HTTP client built with Rust + Tauri. Native .http file support (JetBrains/VS Code/Kulala compatible), Monaco editor, JS pre/post scripts, SQLite-backed history. Sub-second startup. MIT licensed, no cloud, your requests stay on your machine. Think Postman without the bloat and login walls. - Mockin…
absolutely loved the idea of mockingjay, i was also working on a similar kind of project which also had function to upload files, photos with end to end encryption, anti sniffing, zipping it and then uploading or working like bit torrent, breaking it into multiple files and storing in server in batches.
