It looks better and the fonts are more readable than the native wayland/gnome display I'm viewing it on.

what app is he using on his phone to prompt this?

manual programming as a profession will be dead very soon

Even the terminal works, this is madness. I was able to create a temp folder, echo hello > world, and then I could open the folder in finder and double-clicking the file opens it in a GUI text editor.

  This is wild. Do you think it's really a one prompter? K2.5 had a linux frontend one-shot for display that was very good looking and smooth but very little of it had function. Should I just like, idk, stop using subscriptions and API this shiz?

    It might one prompt, but modern LLMs only really shine in agentic loop harnesses (e.g. Kimi Work, Cowork, etc). The OS demo was produced with 1 prompt in an agentic loop in Kimi Work.

There is a full-on chess game in this page .. I wonder if it created a mini engine on its own or if it used one of the available open source solutions. Very impressive.
- sejje 3mo ago
  I beat it, so I don't think it's any good (I'm terrible). But it also wasn't just random or anything, it played like a beginner.
  - techjamie 3mo ago
    I suspect it's just random. I tried feeding one of its pawns my Queen and it completely ignored it, choosing to move a knight nearby instead that didn't take the Queen.
    - sejje 3mo ago
      It's clearly not random, it will mostly take pieces if they're available. It puts you in check on purpose, etc.

Wow. It's pretty buggy but has way more features than expected. Definitely the best desktop website I have ever seen.

I'm not impressed: it uses React.

  Kimi, rewrite this in Vue......

I just favorited your comment, which joins a vanishingly small list of revelations which completely blew my mind

  It would be so cool as a feature to allow people on HN to make some of their favorited posts/comments public.

Holy. That is impressive. The browser doesn't seem to work that well though.

That is seriously impressive. Can I ask the prompt you gave it?
- anigbrowl 3mo ago
  It's not me, click on the X link to see Max Weinbach's post. He's moved on to seeing if it will do a bare-metal OS in Swift.

This is seriously impressive, it built a file system under the hood? I was able to create files, copy around and view/change it with terminal and UI. Absolutely insane
- kristiandupont 3mo ago
  You can quit apps from the activity monitor. It really does appear to be simulating an OS underneath. I am blown away.

I'm pretty annoyed with how fast this feels. Wish MacOS was this fast launching things.

  You're so right. When did Apple take the wrong turn? What caused to become this slow at launching simple apps? Gatekeeper? XProtect? Swift? SwiftUI?
  - dannyw 3mo ago
    Probably all of them? On modern versions, Gatekeeper still adds a bunch of milliseconds and possibly a RTT network request to Apple before the first launch of many apps; although I think Apple's binary checking is cached for 24 hrs or something.

Wait until you see the bare metal version (by the same guy) https://x.com/mweinbach/status/2078231897843302517 https://x.com/mweinbach/status/2078231897843302517 https://github.com/mweinbach/swift-os https://github.com/mweinbach/swift-os

  Interesting. I wonder if this could work in the opposite direction, forcefully opening Apple hardware to other OSes. Think not just Asahi Linux, but regular Linux distros on Apple hardware.

Crikey. It even bound Shift-Cmd-G to the filesystem picker thing.
oblio 3mo ago
Interesting, it reminds me a bit of the Linux in the browser thing.
