   There are pictures in the repo :D Drawing is a small module though, what tuish does best is terminal compositing. It avoids tricks like cursor parking, which makes it fundamentally different from other TUIs internally. That's why we ca

   Hi (author here)! Small TUI toolkit. This is an evolution of an old experiment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19517992 In the examples, there is a full text editor interface written in nothing but shell and other coo

   Why would I pay for this? Makes no sense. It's just confirming to me "yes, LLMs can do it so reliably that someone is trying to sell it, so I can probably just ask an LLM then".

   Again, this word "deterministic". It means nothing anymore. When you see a sorting machine that jiggles lots of pieces so they align, that's because pieces don't align naturally. It's a fix for chaos, for things tha

   I like the idea. DOM morphing is nice. I've done this previously with morphdom to AJAXify a purely server-driven backoffice system in a company. I would love something even smaller. No `mu-` attributes (just rely on `id`, `href`, `rel`

    That is actually addressed in the article. Several architectures "pummelled" x86 before. PowerPC, for example. They did not stood the test of time though.

    Synfig though. I know it doesn't export stuff or have interactive SWF things, but its whole 2D backbone is absolutely fantastic.

    This thing is going to sell a lot. 8GB memory is pathetic. But that doesn't matter for most users yet. In fact, it may not matter at all. If the hardware limitations push us to have several machines, a well-built entry laptop becomes a

    The most important thing you need to understand with working with agents for coding is that now you design a production line. And that has nothing to do (mostly) with designing or orchestrating agents. Take a guitar, for example. You don&#x

    Yep, it's not like electricity which is an essential service. If electricity faults for one second, chaos breaks loose as so many things depend on it. Imagine having several microblackouts a day? We wouldn't tolerate. It's so

    I kind of agree. The AI train depends more on having a cute user interface than being actually reliable.

    Highly experimental prototype. Uses a bunch of polyglot techniques and JavaScript isomorphism across unusual engines (osascript, gjs, JScript.net). Technique can probably be extended to create cross-platform widgets in Cocoa, WinForms and G

    In theory, there is an infinite number of systems with simple emergent rules that can eventually be taught arithmetic.

    We really need a plan for the scenario in which the US loses the trade war and decides to go homicidal AI on the whole world. Like, help them recover or something.

    That's nice. It also makes sense to give tools for open source developers. Sometimes we need to test compatibility (does my repo play nice with that harness/ide/etc?). This in turn makes that repo be more solid for the paid t

    The issue here is not language, is basic understanding of how LLMs are trained, how agents act on that training and what is the role of the shell from a systems perspective. I can't have a meaningful conversation with someone that does

    I gave it a shot. Failed with a simple `> /dev/null` redirection. LLMs do that a lot. Good luck with the project! I'm sure it will get there.

    I don't think the current incompatibilities can be worked around. Also, huge waste of tokens. And the waste is not even worth it, the sandbox seems insufficient. Again, good luck to the developers. I just don't think it's rea

    I've been working with the shell long enough that I know just by looking at it. Anyway, it was rethorical. I was making a point about portability. Scripts we write today run even on ancient versions, and it has been an effort kept by l
