Agree. It's code all the way down. The key is to give agents a substrate where they can code up new capabilities and then compose them meaningfully and safely. Larger composition, though, starts to run into typical software design prob

Wall-mounted dashboards are a huge life-hack, especially if you have a family. We got a 37-inch touchscreen one, running DAKBoard. We have several kids and have been organizing our daily todos and calendars on it for several years. We used

I think sandboxes are useful, but not sufficient. The whole agent runtime has to be designed to carefully manage I/O effects--and capability gate them. I'm working on this here [0]. There are some similarities to my project in wha

The spec is pretty good! Within a day, Codex has written a good chunk of the attractor stack for me: https://github.com/smartcomputer-ai/forge

Thanks! NixOS is great at building and configuring systems, while AgentOS is about running and governing long-lived, deterministic agent worlds. They share ideas like immutability and declarative state, but they operate at different layers.

I’m building AgentOS [1], trying to experiment where agent substrates/sandboxes will head next. It's a deterministic, event-sourced runtime where an “agent world” is replayable from its log, heavy logic runs in sandboxed WASM modu

Excellent article, and I fully agree. I came to the same realization a while ago and started building an agent runtime designed to ensure all (I/O) effects are capability bound and validated by policies, while also allowing the agent t

Arguably this is already happening with much human-to-human interactions moving to private groups on Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.

Eternal Vault is interesting. I would for sure use something like this. However, only if there is a strong story how the vault will survive 20+ years, even if your company is defunct. I do see the pieces scattered around the website (backup

A low(er)-level agent runtime: https://github.com/smartcomputer-ai/agent-os/ AgentOS is a lisp-machine inspired runtime where agents can safely propose, simulate, and apply changes to their own code, policies, and

Woah, describes me quite accurately. It actually took me quite a long time to learn this about myself. I do need a base-line of pressure to get the juices flowing. If pressure falls below base-line, my productivity tanks. I'm also just

I do think it raises interesting and important philosophical questions. Just look at all the literature around the Turing test--both supporters and detractors. This has been a fruitful avenue to talk about intelligence even before the adven

I agree that the term can muddy the waters, but as a shorthand for roughly "an agent calling an LLM (or several LLMs) in a loop producing similar economic output as a human knowledge-worker", then it is useful. And if you pay atte

That an okay-ish definition, but to me this is more about whether this kind of "intelligence" is worth it, not whether it is intelligence itself. The current AI boom clearly thinks it is worth to put that much input to get the cur

If cannot the say they are "thinking", "intelligent" while we do not have a good definition--or, even more difficult, unanimous agreement on a definition--then the discussion just becomes about output. They are doing use

it's nice to have copilot in the db admin tool. I use pgadmin every day, and it's great, but lately i have found myself wishing to have AI support in writing certain queries.

I was coming here to say the same. The two "moral syndromes" she describes are a great framework to understand why, for example, people cannot easily switch from business to government work: different moral systems apply (aka her

I just started to look into multi-modal embedding models recently, and I was surprised how few options there are. For example, Google's model only supports 30 text tokens [1]!! This is definitely a welcome addition. Any pointers to sim

Great that they add a Slop analysis. For example, Gemini uses "heart hammered ribs" a lot.

Question for Calibre fans, what do you use to convert your ebooks to audio books or just general TTS? And, since managing your own (usualy de-DRMed) files is important to you, do you also feel like you want offline audio files? I'm ask

Yes, kokoro is great, and the language flexibility is a huge plus too. And the best prices per character is for sure if you self-host.

I din't think of that, interesting idea. What I'm focusing right now is long-form content for more offline-ish listening, but maybe a plugin could work to load longer texts, but I'm not working on a screen reader atm.

Convert any file (pdf, epub, txt) to an audoibook, downloadable as mp3, or directly listenable via RSS feed in, say, Apple Potcasts app. Basically make one-off audiobooks for yourself or a few friends.

yes, I think you are right. When I did the math on 11labs million chars I got the same numbers (Pro plan). I'm super happy about this, since I took a bet that exactly this would happen. I've just been building a consumer TTS app
