I wonder what the numbers say about desktop applications now, and how much the arrival of Electron changed things up here. Nowadays, it seems to be that mobile apps have the "best metrics" for b2c software. I'd be interested

Did you consider websockets? Curious to know if I'm missing something!

If agents are async, is streaming still important? I think the useful set of interactions with an async agent are pretty limited - you'd want to stop, interrupt with a user message, maybe pause, resume, or steer with a user message? Al

I think this post ignores, deliberately or not, the large group of async coding agents that have been GA since around early 2025 - probably the most well-known of which is Devin (which has been around since 2024, but not available to the pu

LLMs have absolutely made my mechanical ability to write code much worse day-to-day. I'm still not sure if this is a good thing or not.

I thought it was against Slack's ToS to exfiltrate data like this? Also surely most of a startup's Slack activity is just fluff - is there some amount of preprocessing the AI companies have to do, I wonder.

As cool as this technically is - who is the target market for this? I think people building coding agents and coding agent platforms are for the most part building on non-Cloudflare sandboxes, and can tolerate minutes of latency for setup.

I think this is a great idea in general - security through obfuscation, kinda.

What problem is it that you are confused isn't solved? I think the codec analogy is neat but isn't the codec here llama.cpp, and the models are content files? Then the equivalent of VLC are things like LMStudio etc. which use llam

Thanks for bringing this to light! Very interested to see if I can drive it!

If there was an app (web, mobile, desktop - whatever, open-source or not) that could take in smartphone-shot video of any 7-segment display and give you back some data of how the number on the displayed changed over time - is that not muc

I really like the simplicity of this! What's retrieval performance and speed like?

I think the post author is mainly addressing self-hostable and/or open-source options here - otherwise I'd expect a whole host of other commercial storage providers to have been mentioned!

I assumed that satellite data would have been enough to know if something was an iceberg or land - wild that new land is still being discovered!

Are you asking if it is possible to be a power user of Claude Code? Because it very much is - what's the oxymoron?

I think there's loads of scope to use phone cameras as dataloggers too, especially for older equipment that doesn't have an easy way to connect/export the data. (I've been meaning for ages to write a piece of software th

there definitely are some areas in software-land where graphing data and/or directly eyeballing it genuinely helps to spot patterns where statistical methods might be cumbersome/tricky/otherwise annoying, like log analysis[1]

This sharp uptick in LLM in-context "learning" capabilities means I'm more excited than ever to try to get to grips with "new" languages like Nim or Gleam (but worried that using LLMs to help me get to a working end

Every MCP vs CLI argument I've seen really glosses over _where_ the agent is running, and how that makes a difference. For individual users where you're running agents locally, I totally agree that CLIs cover the vast majority of

We last submitted a SWE-Bench verified result in November 2024 - at the time I believe we were in the top 5 entrants. We expect Engine to be as good as the other code-writing agents out there at the moment - we understand almost everyone in

the closest I could get to getting your LLM to identify itself was as LaMDA, which makes me think this is probably a Gemma model - am I close?

I definitely remember considering the larger images - I think we ended up not using them since my work's usecase for act is running user github workflows on-demand on temporary VMs. The hope was that most usage is covered by the smalle

Looks cool! If you're able to say - where/how do you run these virtual desktop instances?
