tl;dr - inventing the wheel wasn’t the hard part, it was inventing the structure to connect wheels to a static system. I think this is true for a lot of other inventions too. What we usually point to as the invention is really just the surf

Love this quote from Shizuo Kakutani to describe Polya's result: "A drunk man will find his way home, but a drunk bird may get lost forever."

Link should have been to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_walk#Higher_dimensions Random walks in greater than 2 dimensions are different because you're not guaranteed to return back to the starting point.

> probably these companies wanted something quick to get running I've been wondering about that. Assuming that's the case, it seems like eventually CLI will be replaced with a nice UI-based editor.

I still find value in the code editor. I often switch between manually editing code and letting Claude Code run free on smaller tasks, but I haven't gotten close to the point where it can write 100% of the code.

I've been using it daily and haven't noticed a change in quality (granted, on a smaller codebase for a single project).

MIT has an amazing history of pranks and hacks dating back to the 1930's.

Congrats on the launch and looks interesting! I love how easy it is to combine local code "tools" with remote mcp servers. The marketplace looks promising, but would be helpful to have some curation as many of the servers don&#x27

I thought the same thing when I saw this! Great tool but clearly generated by LLM (Claude code?). It’s interesting that it’s so obvious. I wonder if human taste will evolve to dislike styles that are LLM generated.

Awesome! I’ll post it to HN once I have the repo up and the code is in a halfway decent state. Look forward to your feedback!

Not yet, but hope to have something up in September! It’s unfortunately not most compatible - I thought about that but didn’t see a lot of value and there were some downsides like re-implementing an encryption layer that doesn’t make sense

Hah, I’ll aspire to do better!

Hey all, I’ve been working on an open source rust-based alternative to mosh that solves some of the key issues like scroll back and using WebRTC instead of bootstrapping udp over ssh (which doesn’t work on firewalled networks). Would love a
