I remember when 8-bit machines ruled the Earth, IOS was a Cisco thing, and e-mail bounced around via dial-up, back before the first AI winter.
I'm now enjoying the new AI spring and doing all sorts of fun stuff.

This feels like optimizing for local minima, but more verbosely. Even the epoch shuffling doesn’t seem like it would get them out of that pitfall.
comment
Looks like a great use case for https://github.com/rcarmo/webterm
comment
I just hope they update the iPad mini. That's the only model worth the money for me, at least.
comment
They overhauled CUPS and replaced chunks of it.

I have been feeling the same way _for years now_, and am writing this on this machine: https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2025/11/05/2200 - an Intel MacBook Air …
comment
This feels misguided. MCP is still one of the best ways to execute deterministic sub-flows (i.e., stepwise processes) and secure tooling that an LLM would either lose itself while executing or should …
comment
Many thanks for everything. Without Ghostty I wouldn't have been able to create https://github.com/rcarmo/webterm and have a decent browser-based terminal that works the way…
comment
Without any restrictions except, well, performance, and still a fair amount of library choices. It’s just easier to use Go (TinyGo, actually) instead.
comment
I would concur, although I am using Edge instead of Brave (work requires it, but I also adopted it as a personal alternative to Safari for when I need Chromium).
comment
I give it two weeks until people start running the meshes through AI: https://taoofmac.com/space/til/2026/02/16/1334 Claude Opus was able to perfectly replica…

I came here to comment because this was posted by… Bender, which I found hilarious.
comment
It’s not even the key combo, iOS and autocorrect will do it for you.
comment
Yep. Like I said elsewhere on the thread, some of them already have enough karma to downvote.
comment
Yeah, and some of them already have enough karma to downvote you if you call them out, which is infuriating…
comment
I still call voodoo on this. I use an iPhone, iPad, Mac to comment here—all of them autocorrect to em dashes at one point or another. Same goes for ellipsis.

You're an AI, right? Because a human would come across as crass with that statement...
comment
No, literally. Mistral, Gemini, opencode, everything supported by Toad, etc. I’ve tried them all. I just don’t like using either Claude Code or Codex, so I didn’t add them to agentbox and stuck with C…
comment
Yeah, ACP adds another layer of marshaling/unmarshaling (or two-one on each side) and can be slower than API calls on occasion. Like MCP, it adds JSON overhead that doesn’t really need to be ther…
comment
I’ve built my own flavor ( https://github.com/rcarmo/piclaw ) and use it to batch convert documentation, check some news (it runs Playwright and sends me summaries of specific site…
comment
Nice trick. I’m going to see how I can apply it to tool calls in pi.dev as well
comment
Literally all of them: https://github.com/rcarmo/agentbox
comment
I run it almost exclusively with codex models. Zero issues.
comment
Paraphrasing The Dude, that’s like, just your opinion, man.

I run mine inside https://github.com/rcarmo/agentbox (with https://github.com/rcarmo/webterm )…
comment
The claw version’s web UI essentially has better thinking output, more visibility of tool calls, and slightly better SSE streaming. I’ve backported some of it to vibes, but if you want to borrow UI st…
comment
The better web UI is now part of https://github.com/rcarmo/piclaw (which is essentially the same, but with more polish and a claw-like memory system). So you can pick if you want…

LLM harness has been in vogue for a year now…

You probably want to look into pi then - it's extremely extensible.
