@martin_casado nice! had similar idea – FUSE over enterprise APIs. /old_enterprise/objects/object.md - you can even emulate versioning, add transaction layer, add approvals state management, etc.

This is really, really cool. Sort of the file system equivalent of the agent sandbox environments. Imma use it for my setup ...
Mike Freedman@michaelfreedman
Introducing TigerFS - a filesystem backed by PostgreSQL, and a filesystem interface to PostgreSQL. Idea is simple: Agents don't need fancy APIs or SDKs, they love the file system. ls, cat, find, grep. Pipelined UNIX tools. So let’s make files transactional and concurrent by backing them with a real database. There are two ways to use it: File-first: Write markdown, organize into directories. Writes are atomic, everything is auto-versioned. Any tool that works with files -- Claude Code, Cursor, grep, emacs -- just works. Multi-agent task coordination is just mv'ing files between todo/doing/done directories. Data-first: Mount any Postgres database and explore it with Unix tools. For large databases, chain filters into paths that push down to SQL: .by/customer_id/123/.order/created_at/.last/10/.export/json. Bulk import/export, no SQL needed, and ships with Claude Code skills. Every file is a real PostgreSQL row. Multiple agents and humans read and write concurrently with full ACID guarantees. The filesystem /is/ the API. Mounts via FUSE on Linux and NFS on macOS, no extra dependencies. Point it at an existing Postgres database, or spin up a free one on Tiger Cloud or Ghost. I built this mostly for agent workflows, but curious what else people would use it for. It's early but the core is solid. Feedback welcome. tigerfs.io

my competitive advantage is that i'm having fun

I’ve tried it. Honestly, not perfect yet and lugging compared to CLI. I think we yet to see true productivity boost through 24/7 agents

ICYMI - Claude Code in the Claude Desktop app! Benefits: → Visual session management instead of terminal tabs → Parallel sessions via git worktrees → Run locally or in the cloud → One-click to open in VS Code or CLI Same Claude Code. Better ergonomics.

MCP is just regular APIs with better documentation (tool prompts)

It’s @OpenAI move to strengthen their grip on enterprise customers. There are quite a few that don’t want their data be sent to Azure, because their use Google, AWS, or other reasons. Before vendors had to figure out how to adapt their prompts / eval / quality to OSS models, mostly llama - maintain different stacks. How you can go multi cloud with GPT OSS, no need to invest in llama models
marko@markopolojarvi
GPT-OSS is nice and it's obviously great that OpenAI released it, but because it's not multimodal, it doesn't bring anything new to the open source table. Basically, it is just another top level text model with Qwen3 etc. And I guess that was the whole point of this PR exercise.

@nikitabier maybe have fail safes to stop from overthinking and ask user for clarification if needed
English
Devs got brainwashed over last decade that you must have micro services, server side rendering, virtual dom - all kind of cool staff to build business value on internet.
Controversial opinion: index.php of 30k lines is OK, it’s even preferable over complexity of modern stacks in case of @levelsio
I’ve seen 10k lines on Perl, that powered satellites websites for 300 local hotels, banks still work on mainframes — all driving value.
If it works for business - it’s ok.
There is art and satisfaction in building smooth UX transitions and rich UIs. There is art and satisfaction in driving business value. But saying photoai wouldn’t scale because it’s single php - is not understanding what its value and business.
@levelsio@levelsio
@ihorvorotnov @alex_zooni Photo AI is 30,000+ lines in index.php

Enterprises like Apple built their brand on deterministic, tightly controlled experiences. GenAI breaks that model - user experience is now probabilistic, scope explodes. PRD driven companies like Apple can’t simply adapt; it requires rethinking how they build, test, and ship.
Austen Allred@Austen
It's honestly impressive how Apple's AI can receive an incoming message and summarize it in a way that's the same length as the original but still removes 100% of the valuable details

@martin_casado As inference becomes cheaper, we can imaging running hundreds of simulation and picking the best. Then hallucination of a single run is immaterial
English
More and more I use language models for reasoning and opinions, not to learn facts. For example I ask about arguments for an against a situation. Or an opinion with long form justification.
... as a result, I rarely worry about hallucinations anymore.

Hey infra folks. We're standing up a new Discord server to discuss CS infra. If you want an invite DM me (reply and I'll follow).
thanks!

If you are in ideation mode for your new company and fit into our thesis, blocking off two hours tomorrow and Sat for feedback calls. Shoot me a DM with your idea and email and will send a calendar invite.

@MartinShkreli @awscloud @googlecloud @Azure Has to do with fraud, account maybe new, or making sure you have enough capacity in the region. Sorry for inconvenience, people on other side try to do it as smooth as possible. Agree, ideally it should be automated.
English
@genbit @awscloud @googlecloud @Azure a little absurd i need permission to spend more money. GCP does this out of the gate and its really annoying
English
hmm, @awscloud is starting to get painful like @googlecloud. will have to move business to @Azure which is starting to feel like the least painful (a very low hurdle)
