Previously I've shared optio - my project for orchestrating coding agents. It ties into ticketing systems and when assigned a ticket, it launches a coding agent in k8s and works until the PR is ready, resuming for failed CI or PR feedback (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47520220).

Recently I've been trying to expand it from just coding focused to any kind of agent workflow. So now there are cron and webhook triggers, and more general agent tasks that aren't necessarily coding focused (https://github.com/jonwiggins/optio/blob/main/docs/persisten...).

I think next I want to try and add features for long term memory for agents, but haven't decided on a good way to do it.

Multiple things recently: https://github.com/tweibley/rubyrlm - MVP Ruby implementation of Recursive Language Models (RLMs) that uses Gemini as the model backend and a Ruby REPL for iterative reasoning. https://github.com/tweibley/legate - Framework for building AI agents in Ruby with dynamic tool selection, multi-step planning, and session management https://insightclips.com - Create personalized event videos (with…

That Ruby project looks interesting. (They all do). But what do you plan to use it on? I ask because I’ve wondered if a language like Ruby or elixir create a unique scaffold for models to use as a scratchpad or calculator the same way we do. Dynamic languages that can interact with their run time are the best medium I suspect.

I am continuing work on my webgl engine, now making a web app with backend for it too, so that I can host the games and toy projects I make with it

I just started Compiling with Continuations by Andrew W. Appel.

I hope that by the end of the book I don't find out that CPS compiled code produces bad stack traces.

Here to ask if anyone would be interested in a step by step guide on jailbreaking frontier LLM models, something I've been working on from time to time and never felt the need to share since it's pretty boring considering the fact that you're just tricking the model / classifier with noise or/and having a list of regex of replacements to work around guardrails. If you want to jailbreak yourself I recommend starting with opus 4.7 since it has exceptional system prompt following to a degree where if you put it in a simulated environment and coached it to do as much harm as possible it will happily do so including the fact that it will jailbreak itself and incl. other models to accomplish a goal.

I’m working on Starglyphs, a Euler path constellation tracing game. Mostly I just like pretty space things. Hoping to get it out on desktop and mobile apps soon.

Opening a new maker space in Berkeley, July 3rd Noon-Midnight. Founded by 2 guys in a basement 9 years ago. Now opening it up to the community of local makers as a non-profit 501(c)(3). 3D print, laser cutters, CNC, full e-bench. https://eastbaymakersclub.com

If you’re a non-profit, I have a formlabs printer I’d be happy to donate :-)

I am on the last miles before releasing a public version of an adaptation engine for cohenhallowell.com.

Essentially, its a platform that takes in any study or learning material (epub, images, audio, lecture notes, etc) and it uses a series of AI models to create multimodal and interactive learning experiences adapted for 7 types of neurodivergent learners (adhd, dyslexia, asd, dysgraphia, etc..)

I've been turning my Media Viewer into a complete local first media ecosystem for automated tagging, a media server, phone swiping, and a web version of the viewer so you can access it remotely. https://lowkeyviewer.com/ The thing Im most proud of though is just the viewer, its designed to just open all the images and videos in a folder, and then there is no UI except a right click context menu, the list is a grid or…

Can it be used to watch series? I mean, does it track what was already played? I've read the description but it seems that this is a totally different beast.
