Surprisingly the hardest problems in software are not the complicated ones. The hardest problems are those that are convoluted asf
Complicated problems are very interesting, but convoluted problems suck your soul right out of you
There is a very pure sense of accomplishment in working day and night to solve a complicated problem in an elegant way. So pushing through is fairly easy and enjoyable.
On the other end, having to decipher dumb heuristic decision trees like:
“if this boolean is an artifact of the migration from 2014, ignore it but then it was created by someone whose name starts with the letter X then respect it. But then, if there was a full moon on the day it was created then roll a dice” because of some dumb decision someone made to get shit off their plate a decade ago. Would make the most hardcore eng say “kms”
Worst part of convoluted problems is discovering requirements as you build through very loud feedback.

small local model that falls apart in bloated agents like openclaw just runs like a wild horse in hermes agent.
and that's not even my line, someone else called it that, i've just been quietly pointing people at this harness for months because it held up on everything i threw at it, 3b models all the way to one trillion params.
watch this happen on my own machine. i pointed hermes agent at a local http endpoint, gemma 4 12b on my 3090 llama.cpp server, and it auto-detected the model and started working immediately. no config wrestling, no broken tool calls, no babysitting the output format, i typed in a url and it just went.
the whole clip is exactly that, start to finish, no errors, no retries, butter smooth. and the tool calling, the one thing that quietly breaks most local setups, works here like it's nothing.
it's not the model that's flaky, it's the harness around it. hermes agent is the first agent i've run that actually gets that right.
one url, one local model on one card, and it runs like a wild horse.

watch gemma 4 12b q8 dancing on a single rtx 3090 at 33 tokens a second average. google dropped this two days ago and it's the kind of thing that quietly moves the floor. a fully multimodal model, text image and audio in one net, 256k context, apache licensed, running entirely on one consumer gpu, no one metering your tokens. what you're watching is the whole loop live: the server streaming tokens top left, the gpu pegged bottom left, the answer landing on the right. all local, all mine. a year ago this needed someone else's datacenter. today it's a card you can buy. open source isn't catching up anymore, it's setting the pace. how fast does yours run?

FSD is crazy because it's like Claude Code but for driving from A to B

I just bought a Tesla Model Y Full Self Driving is one of the most impressive pieces of technology I’ve ever experienced. I now wish I’d got it a year ago.

Grok trying to community note my post for saying I haven't been blocked by them is wild.
Video from my phone quoted below as proof.
Grok blocked me.
⭕ Brock Pierson@brockpierson
Proof of Grok block in this video. You will see under 2 replies it shows they have a reply and I see nothing. Also that going to Grok's page it shows I am blocked and cannot follow due to this.

I just got paid by X and my payments are skyrocketing through the roof! This is life changing! Thank you @elonmusk and @nikitabier! I can afford now to get the Tesla Model Y L when it comes out on day one in the US and start recording content for it. I can start scaling up my events company to travel the country and host Adam's X Meetups and other events. I can livestream government town halls and debates. I can cover big events happening in Chicago and put out great content interviewing people in the streets. If you are going out there and creating original content bringing in new people onto the platform, X is rewarding that. No more low effort slop posts, X is cracking down on those. Go out there, create content, and bring people onto X! 🫡
