I tried nono to limit commands an agent can run but that proved to be cumbersome. I ended up creating multiple logins on a Linux system. I used my developer account to clone git repos and then create local bare repos in a read only dir.

Have you considered providing APIs (possibly MCP) to a Wiki for agents. I've done this, and after solving some timing issues with concurrent page updates, I was able to get agents to cooperate on tasks and share info (and I could view&

Understood, and I like a challenge. I've also solved some tough engineering problems in the past (before AI). With AI it seems (and I emphasize seems) that I can tackle much harder problems. That's why I am proceeding to measu

The value proposition I am pursuing is not faster speed, but increased throughput (and possibly reduced kWh). I'm trying to understand the benefits of streaming expert weights through hardware that offloads the math and avoids storing

In my fork, I've added ./experiments where I hacked together a shell wrapper for a no_std Rust app to implement head -<n>. help > help.txt <script path>/head -2 help.txt works. This shows how I can cross-compi

Sorry, this was supposed to be a Show HN: post. Too late for me to edit the title. Maybe I will resubmit correctly in the future.

Can you suggest what circuits? examples?

But I can afford my already purchased drawer full of cheap FPGAs for experiments. I guess I am too risk adverse to bet $10,000 on an ASIC run (having no experience doing that and no desire to go that route). If I can demonstrate a proof-of-

I am doing the initial work on many core dual CPUs. I already have systems with large system RAM and older GPUs with less VRAM, and large SAS HDs, fast SSDs running large open weight LLMs that do not really fit any GPU I own (they offload

Tang nano FPGAs are around $10, the idea being to couple with a $25 ARM or RISC-V dev board and offload the math from a streaming store. Coupling this with an older 8GB VRAM board can theoretically run a model whose weights do not fit. Th

nice. I like the metaprogramming and the error handling.

so the built-in nano helps a lot, since the help output scrolled off the screen. I tried to use head, less, and more. I could redirect help output to a file (but until I found nano, could not page that). I also looked for dd. The VNC UI s

My AI wrote scripts to launch and attach. I was able to do a lot login in as root. One bug: when I run the ring3 demo, the shell stops accepting input.

I have forked, cloned, and built (had to pin a specific nightly Rust for it to build). When I run it, it crashed at login; I reran it with VNC, was able to login as root, issue ls and uptime, but then it crashed. My AI is debugging...

I have also developed a preemtive-multitasking O/S (and some programming languages to build this and apps) targeted for embedded soft cpu (not x86). I build tools in Rust, too. I joined your discord but cannot comment anywhere yet (la

I've been playing with makerlisp.com's COR24-TB 24-bit RISC soft CPU development board. I developed a Rust emulator for this ISA. The Rust emulator can run inside of a Yew/WASM app in the browser. The TUI is an ncurses-ins

The conclusion seems to be that very large models are okay or better at literate programming than medium sized models. My experience is similar. I use ChatGPT, Claude, and Z.ai GLM-5.x and they have been able to produce Emacs org-mode doc

This looks potentially useful. When I tried this on a Rust project it said to run "codegraph cluster-only <path>". but I had to first uv pip install codegraph, and then codegraph -h did not have any cluster-only (it had -o a
