You build an AI agent that reasons perfectly. Then you hook it up to the web and spend a month debugging headless browsers. 🫠 We built Tabstack to fix that: a web execution layer that gives agents eyes, without the overhead. Launching today. mzl.la/3LiPqoG

@SF311 trash on the street and sidewalks of Linda between 18th and 19th. During the night, somebody seems to have sacked trash bins. Filed #101002533001. What sort of turnaround time might we expect?

@zachlieberman Beautiful!

@code Oh, the irony. The just-released @code 1.102 includes a much easier to read "Developer: Show Chat Debug View" feature #_reading-chat-requests" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_102…

TIL how to debug custom instructions in @code by seeing the detailed context (instructions, system prompts, etc) sent for each thing typed. You only need “Github Copilot Chat” set to Debug. #_view-logs-for-github-copilot-in-vs-code" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/f…

"MCP is an (accidentally) universal plugin system" resonates with me worksonmymachine.substack.com/p/mcp-an-accid…

@GeoffreyHuntley Hmm, do we need to standardize a syntax for "turing machine" and then see how things go there? Of course, I'd be pretty stunned if LLMs did poorly on turning machines...

@dmose considering i've got it programming a programming language that the llm has no training data on. i'd assume brainfuck would work very well

at this stage, I really shouldn’t be surprised but these LLMs do erlang really well…

@GeoffreyHuntley Perhaps agent prefer points?

when you ask the LLM to estimate how long it will take to do XYZ; it replies back in human time. not automated agentic time :p

@GeoffreyHuntley For what value of n?

It's come so far, but it's only an nth of the way complete...

./cursed hello-world.csd -o hello-world ./hello-world Hey bestie

@GeoffreyHuntley Also nicely cooked: github.com/philipl/pifs

this is going to sound cooked, but I've always wanted to write my own filesystem. a virtual filesystem overlaid on top of SCM.

@GeoffreyHuntley Write your filesystem on top of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesyste…. github.com/lvkv/whenfs is a nicely cooked example.

@jasonlaster11 You've done exciting stuff there; I'm looking forward to seeing what's next...

As for me, I'll be exploring what's next, so stay tuned.

I’m moving on from Replay.io, but the dream of time travel is alive and well. 🚀 The team recently shipped Nut.new 🐛 Nut loves squashing React bugs ✅ Nut started QAing its own work last week Oh, and there are lots of great open roles!

@GeoffreyHuntley Not cooked at all. I had fun with google.com/search?q=Sun+t… back in the day...

It even proposed to add nice comments pointing out what it was doing.

Heh. Just caught @ClaudeCode proposing to add code to look for exact test text and hardcode the correct answer without fixing the actual problem. Just like benchmark-gaming!

@GeoffreyHuntley What does "running raw directly to the Anthropic API" mean? A REST client in the editor and a lot of copy/pasting?

@pashmerepat @GeoffreyHuntley Lots of stuff on the web is marketing hype. Can you tell that AI generated this specific piece of breathless marketing hype?

ai generated copy isn't just predictable- it's trivial to spot from a mile away but for real why does it always do that

putting together an invited talk for an upcoming conference... claude is the og CFP generator...

@DougDonohoe Wild! We were just in Zurich in April, and it was wonderful. How long are you traveling for?
