I've been using LLMs for Common Lisp since Sonnet 3.7 and have never experienced that. Did you have a mixture of other lisps nearby to confuse it? Seems like an odd failure mode.

Who is talking about limiting to one technology? I'm saying websockets are not fit to purpose and I can't see a compelling reason to ever reach for that particular technology any more than I'd reach for COBOL. Sadly, the brow

Would really love to read this in your own words. In any case, I find the rationale for each of your points to actually better support the SSE approach. Your post actually sold me more on why I should not use websockets. Interesting.

Do you need to pipe the ruby output to bash? Ruby could just run the mv directly by wrapping in backticks instead of quotes.

This one does agentic search instead of compaction: https://github.com/wedow/harness Generally works quite well but it allows nested subagents and that can use a lot of tokens if the agent prompts are too open-ended. A

I do understand that's what they have in mind. But that's not what immediate mode means. Function application is not the only criteria. We are talking about rendering into a browser by twiddling DOM APIs. That's definitely re

by wild_egg 2mo ago
> immediate mode You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. React most definitely falls under what would be called a "retained mode" of some sort. And the UI library described here is also.

What's wrong with the Tailscale free tier? There is also Headscale if you want to self host. https://headscale.net

He says here that they have a direct Tailscale integration of the type that requires using the `tsnet` package, which is Go. Or at least would pull in the Go runtime as part of a shared library. https://x.com/i/status&#

I don't understand what is broken with the browser's management of typed content. Do you have an example of UX that requires a custom state management layer on top?

by wild_egg 2mo ago
Would love to hear about which of those listed examples does not currently have native browser support.

by wild_egg 2mo ago
I've had decent results telling agents to use emacs for structural editing operations. Pretty rare that I need to move a function across files verbatim but that should only be a few extra lines of elisp.

more context beyond the changelog? what would you like to know?

Every one of those are things that the browser manages for you if you are using semantic markup and embracing web standards.

Based on skimming the couple sibling comments, I believe the issue you have had with htmx is precisely that you have somehow conflated it with angular. If you think they're the same, you will use them the same and have the same poor ou

by wild_egg 2mo ago
As someone who wrote a lot of angular back in the day, and who writes a lot of htmx in the current day... That comparison makes absolutely no sense. The only thing the 2 have in common is the use of HTML attributes for functionality. Comple

I'm doing a bunch of x86_64 assembly these days and Fable is simply not allowed to debug it. Hoping Opus 5 has a bit more freedom.

Ah, I see the goal posts shifted. I thought the topic was whether an AI could "give you something truly original in the way many high-quality fictional stories are." Which was then followed by the idea that you cannot have &quot

Is there a link anywhere for a docs site for this? Really curious to know what "deep data sources" they have set up for the Native Global Market Data feature.

Early 2000s tech could absolutely handle LLM agents as a client. They output like 1-2kbps and even dial up modems would have plenty of capacity for other traffic. The UI itself requires laughably simple tech. The idea that a markdown render

by wild_egg 3mo ago
No, the fundamental problem of these apps is that they are, for no reason, pretending they need a high powered game engine rendering loop. They don't. It's a text printout of history with some hotkeys for mode switches and such. &
