Announcing: DISCOBOT🤖🎉 My personal coding agent session manager. I built this for myself so I can vibe code faster. Watch the video, link to the project thread below. I'll be live streaming today at 10AM PT to fully demo it and talk about why I built it.

I dunno, I still don't run it. I don't get why I should. It only makes things worse. I think the only noticeable advantage of wayland is it's supposed to be tear free and more smooth animation. But I don't have significant issues with tearing in X11. Wayland is like systemd for me, the more I think about it the more irritated I get.

@ibuildthecloud Is it still crazy hard to capture screenshots from Wayland? I remember how zero apps could capture the screen in Wayland initially, because you had to write your own compositor or something, and it was by design

i don't even want to run kimi tbh. I just want codex or claude unlimited. So buying hardware doesn't help. I'm totally of the belief that local models don't make sense if you are talking about large ones, because by the time you have hardware fast enough it's cheaper to buy tokens.

@ibuildthecloud Why not look for various inference providers for Kimi K2.5 on openrouter.ai? You'll realize you need to burn a looooot of tokens before buying the hardware to self-host the same model in its full form becomes worth it financially

I'm so sick of dealing with token usage. Can I just buy an NVIDIA rack and put it in my garage? I am curious what it would cost to run something like kimi full strength. Obviously a lot, but still curious.

I don’t give a lot of compliments but the way Codex cli & app is designed so it reuses code (that anyone else can reuse as well) is really quite elegant. Elegant in a way that it could only be the result of an experienced & thoughtful team. Which is rare at their speed & scale.

@ibuildthecloud been writing code manually for 15 years. vibecoding only breaks down if your architecture is garbage, keep your agents isolated with git worktrees and it scales way better.

There's so many things wrong with vibe coding. Learn the skill, there's advantages. But there are also huge disadvantages. I'm telling you, the future of coding is going to look very close to what we do now, just with some better tools and approaches. It's a step improvement that will have a compounding effect. Not a hard switch to an unrecognizable future.

@thdxr Yep, but I don't think the black boxes will survive because of people like you.

but actually... it does it well. I know this only because I've used chatgpt to program roblox games which is all lua. The language is so simple it's kind of hard for it to get it wrong. But a big problem is that you want tools the validate the code and the no types makes that hard.

I think windows is actually a good platform for a openclaw style agent. I'll just leave that statement completely unsubstantiated.

AI-generated data. Data at this point is not exactly a problem. The problem is now about curating the right type of data. There's basically no end in sight right now for LLM. There's a difference between intelligence and usefulness. People want to argue that LLM is not intelligent or it's not smart or it's not getting smarter. Those could be true. It's very subjective. What is far more important is the utility of the LLM: is it useful? Does it provide a function that provides value? Everything points to yes but I will say we haven't quite nailed it. We're very quickly addressing all of the key issues.

@BrownCoyoteStu @ibuildthecloud What exactly is not true? StackOverflow was used as training data. It is now dying. People do upload LLM-generated code to GitHub, another source of training data. What do you think the next generation of LLM is going to be based on?

@zeeg I really hate things like this. "Oh look, they aren't actually intelligent." Yeah, we know, they just mimic things. But that's super useful.

1) not surprising whatsoever 2) this is exactly what I keep saying about models not being powerful enough today the fact that they can do so much with lossy compression is amazing, but there's no magic here imo (for transformers) context windows need to be 1-2 orders of magnitude larger for the future people keep saying is reality, and even then the compute is probably not worth it
