Was it "bring your kids to work" day at Microsoft recently?

@Wayland_Six @NousResearch You urgently need a different project name, or to at least stop actively avoiding mentioning who you aren't in important places like your web site and bio.

Just to clarify: HermesOS is built on top of the open-source Hermes Agent framework by @NousResearch. I have a lot of respect for what they’ve built. HermesOS is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Nous Research.

@NousResearch @karpathy I'm finding the single wiki config per instance limiting. I have multiple wikis for quite different topics. Config should be at agent and/or directory level. I already map telegram topics to context directories separately.

The LLM Wiki by @karpathy is now a built-in skill in Hermes-Agent, give it a try

@NousResearch @karpathy I like it! I'm finding the (expected) differences in interpretation of @karpathy 's guidance interesting. I've built flexible but deterministic schema validation with llm skills. I'm working on integrating these as complementary to other skills. github.com/mindsocket/str…

@amix3k I genuinely don't know what I'd use an activity log for, so not sure what to ask for. Most of the things I need relate to clarifying intent, prioritising in context & getting out of the weeds - all more related to forward view than backward

The team is making significant progress on the activity log. Soon you'll be able to export it to Markdown and feed it into an AI. We're working to make Todoist play nicely with AIs (on top of our MCP and official todoist-cli support!) Anything else you would want to see improved with the activity log?

@levi @bcherny +1. Multiple times now I've had to ask to see the plan first, which breaks the question asking flow

Often in plan mode, it'll write the plan and then ask me additional questions, like I've read the plan. The problem is I can't see it -- either I open another terminal and read the /tmp/*.md file or i have to escape out to send /plan. Would be sweet to be able to view the plan while in the question answering tool ui.

@sussanley "Our plan is clear" is usually accompanied by some kind of plan. Did you forget an attachment?

I spent today in NSW meeting businesses that want to grow, hire and invest, but are being held back by soaring power bills under Labor. Our plan is clear. We will deliver affordable energy for families and businesses while reducing emissions in a responsible and achievable way. Under the Liberal Party emissions will be reduced: * On average year on year, for every five year period of Australia’s Nationally Determined Contribution. * In Australia’s national interest by doing our fair share considering the real performance of comparable countries. * As fast and as far as technology allows, without imposing mandated costs on families or industry. Affordable power. Responsible action. That is our plan.

Naming things is hard, just ask @UnderArmour

Voting in Bradfield and undecided? My frustration with politics has turned to hope since meeting @Nicolette_Boele and volunteering. A true community independent. See for yourself: youtube.com/watch?v=X2c7SD…

@amix3k Examples of conversational things (I've started dabbling with MCP for these myself): * Reschedule anything due that looks work related until Monday * Suggest tasks that to be moved into existing sections in the work project * Tag priority tasks that I keep rescheduling for review

@amix3k 2 things: * It depends what it can do. I'm interested in things I can't already do from the app that's already on my device. * Assuming it does net new useful things, I'd be happy for the conversational interface to simply be in the todoist app, at least to start with

Would you use a conversational interface to manage your Todoist tasks directly from WhatsApp or Telegram? E.g., by sending/forwarding a message, making a call, or sending a voice note? It would be like having an assistant. How excited are you to use something like this?

I'm done wringing my hands about the state of #auspol parties. This was my first time doorknocking alongside hundreds of volunteers from all walks of life. It was fun and rewarding. It's time for a positive, representative change in Bradfield.

Happy clamshell packaging injury and fresh battery hunting day, to those who celebrate

"This is either genius or bollocks" is almost always how genius emerges. You've gotta be ok with that. Keep going, keep creating.

@sqs You don't have to change code if you only ever make new messaging apps.

Writing new code is the easy part. Changing code in existing complex codebases is the hard part. Always has been.

Goals are for people who care about winning once. Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly.

@infobeautiful Interesting, but as an example of data viz/infographic, truly awful.
