@mitsuhiko @badlogicgames @antirez What tasks do you find that model useful for?

I'm so in love with @antirez' ds4. Patched some slop on it to get better streaming, but I can just install a pi extension on a 128GB mac and it manages everything for me. No need for mlx-lm, ollama or lm studio or finagling pi configs.

Hey everyone, @markprobst here 👋 I'm Glide's Co-Founder, and also the co-creator of Fling. Claude Code's missing 'Publish' button. Glide's other Co-Founder, @jassmith87, and I built Fling over about 2 months on the hunch that giving @claudeai Code an easy-to-use “Publish” button would unlock it for a larger group of users. When you use Claude Code, you describe what you want, and Claude writes the code. But publishing your software to the web requires a whole lot of additional work. Fling handles all of that extra work: bundling, deployment, databases, cron jobs, storage, secrets, and routing. No infrastructure knowledge is required when you're 'Flinging'. Want to try fling for yourself? It's free to use (for now) for up to 5 projects: 💥 flingit.io Curious about the technical details behind building Fling? Read our research paper: glideapps.com/research/fling Looking forward to hearing what you think about Fling!

@IceSolst @steipete We don’t write tests and do the other things to guard against bugs in the compiler. The analogy is completely wrong.

Interesting article on treating agent output like compiler output (and why) skiplabs.io/blog/codegen_a…

@mitsuhiko pi-current-pr, shows info on the current PR npmjs.com/package/pi-cur…

What's the smallest (but comparatively coolest) extension you built for pi?

Big write-up of Fling glideapps.com/research/fling

People of pi, I present pi-current-pr A super simple extension that shows the current PR you're on.

@mitsuhiko I agree and yet I use it. Would love to have a better alternative!

I think tmux is great software for an agent. But how people can actually work day to day in tmux is beyond me. It's such a horrible UX and hack.

@chribjel Nobody knows what a MiB of GiB is. It'll be MB and GB, and they'll be powers of two until I retire. Then you can change it all.

@exQUIZitely And to think that the Atari 2600 had 128 bytes of RAM, and ran games like this (River Raid)! We're orders of magnitude away from using today's hardware efficiently.

An average picture that you save on your phone or PC has a size of around 400 kilobytes. It doesn't do anything, it's just a static image. Now divide that by the factor 10, so you drop to 40 kilobytes. That's the size of The Last Ninja, developed by System 3 and published in 1987. I still struggle to comprehend, even in the slightest, how programmers back then did what they did - and the worlds they created with the limitations they had to work with. I was simply blown away by the graphics (isometric on the C64 with such an amazing level of detail - simply gorgeous) and absolutely mesmerized by the kickass sound. What Ben Daglish and Anthony Lees conjured up musically will forever be part of gaming history - an iconic masterpiece. 40 kilobytes man...

Banking was a software business before computers and software existed.

@badlogicgames Is it? They're doing a very good job at making it look like it's based on spans, at least.

@markprobst yes, for comments, text must match. same in gdocs btw.

I present to you my latest fully vibeslopped "I didn't read the code" oeuvre: Jot A self-hosted collaborative markdown editor for you, your friends, and your agents. Like Google Docs, but worse. Try it with me here: jot.mariozechner.at/s/hgd5xo8zfe92… Share a note, pick access (view/comment/edit), hand the link to a human or paste the CLI instructions into your agent. They can read, edit, and comment together in real-time.

@ianjanicki It’s a kit, that’s all you get. But of course it can call other services. No paid tier for now.

@markprobst Those are nice features. How does one pay for it? How does my agent pay for adding more services. Or is more of a 'kit' and you get what you get

stripe projects, if it keeps expanding its catalog is going to be how we all build agents in the future

@ianjanicki You just tell Claude Code to build and deploy an app, no infrastructure worries. Comes with database, storage, cron jobs, email send/receive, Slack/Discord bots. npx flingit

@markprobst I have not!! What does it give me

@mitsuhiko Can they agree that 0.3333… = 1/3 ?

Oh my wife just triggered me.

@aboodman @geoffreylitt Congratulations!!!

Zero to 1.0 After two years of work, 50+ releases, thousands of commits, and hundreds of bugfixes, we are officially declaring Zero stable and ready for production workloads. zero.rocicorp.dev/docs/release-n…

@carlsverre We switched from Daytona to Modal because of reliability issues. Happy to chat.

Does anyone have a deep dive analysis comparing modal, langsmith, daytona, and runloop? Looking for something that isn't AI generated or sponsored.

@molecularmusing I do (did?) really enjoy the craft of writing code, but what I've learned over the past year or so is that I get at least as much as enjoyment out of - experimenting with ideas and prototyping - producing software that provides value Both of which I can now do a lot more of.

I find this extremely worrying, with many of people I respect saying things like "I no longer write code" or "let LLMs do it". Why did you start programming? Was it never the journey for you, but only the goal? I genuinely want to understand this, I seem to be the odd one out.
