Private agent interface with 2-way voice using local ASR/TTS (Parakeet and Kokoro). No Telegram or complex bot stack. Provides access to existing interactive agent CLI sessions over HTTP. Works in the background hands-free. (captured output audio only, pauses trimmed for brevity)

A mouse trap with free cheese is closing. Cursor locks SOTA models under Max mode, Anthropic is charging high prices for code reviews. That’s just a start. Using AI for coding will become more expensive, not cheaper. The only ceiling to price hikes is human labor cost.

@trashpandaemoji I haven't looked at is closely but there's a bun build of pi here that might be useful. github.com/PriNova/grapho…

I wonder if you could take Pi, package it with skills and prompts, then make it an executable binary with Bun and distribute it? Thinking of doing this at work for a specific agentic workflow with a well defined input and output. Provider is solved via our intranet, and it’s better than just distributing a skill since we might want to run this programmatically in a pipeline.

@shguke This is a POC reimplementation of the app-server protocol to translate between it and different backends. I like the idea because the protocol is well known and there are many good frontends built around it already.

fck this is cracked i didnt even realize app-server could do this ughh

@badlogicgames Uh-oh, I'd better add a disclaimer before the word is out. 😀

@kcosr wat?!

Pi in Codex Desktop. Incomplete but functional. Maybe fun for someone to hack on. github.com/kcosr/codapter/

@manuelmaly @SIGKITTEN WIP, though I probably won't return to it for a while. x.com/kcosr/status/2…

@SIGKITTEN A pi extension I would personally need more. Or is the best way to go to vibe translate app server for pi?

should we support claude-code in litter or is the /remote-control they have good enough? could do it with some minor quirks, like not being to login from the phone, you just have to be logged in on the remote

@SIGKITTEN Oh, token counts are borked.

@SIGKITTEN Vibe slop, but if you don't find something else... github.com/kcosr/chat-to-…

whats a good tool to share codex and cc convos im sure someone had built something decent?

6-9 months ago was the time of opportunity where one could build the right set of incantations (prompts, skills) and have some leverage. I'm sure some took the opportunity and cashed in while others (including me) only focused on experimentation and personal software. For the past few months we have been in this phase for orchestration. Those who get it right will have the advantage and be able to ship the same products everyone else can now build but at higher quality and faster. This will be replaced by well crafted solutions from the labs or companies like Amp, supported by better models. So while the work we (as individuals, not companies like Amp) put in now will ultimately be discarded, it gives us some leverage while wait. And it may still be useful to drive less capable OSS models that trail behind the frontier.

Lately, whenever I open this app and see the latest tricks, and hacks, and notes, and workflows, and spec here and skill there, I can't help but think: All of this will be washed away by the models. Every Markdown file that's precious to you right now will be gone.

There is a sort of flow state to be found in multitasking. The key for me is to not be working on something that itself requires a lot of focus, but to make the observation and switching the focus. It feels a bit like dodgeball where you focus intently on all of the balls coming at you. I also enjoy the flow of design and planning via 2-way voice. It's like having a conversation with a colleague who completely gets what you are trying to do and will take good notes while you excitedly articulate an idea. The right TTS engine (I prefer Kokoro) makes it a really good experience when the model says things like "Yeah, you've got it!" with the right inflection after you ask a question.

@ScottSpadea I don’t wanna multitask, I wanna enter the flow state. 😔

Not enough people talk about how unpleasant vibecoding is. The best analogy I can think of is driving. It's cool that we can just hop in a car and drive to the store. It's a lot faster than walking. And yet, it's so stressful and infuriating, we had to invent a new word just to describe its effect on people: "road rage." AI-assisted coding is the same. It's so much faster--there's no going back to coding everything by hand, the equivalent of walking everywhere. And yet it's incredibly annoying and stressful. It's characterized by annoying delays between requests, time-wasting misunderstandings, blatant lying, and absurd overconfidence. Hopefully this gets better as models improve.

Given more time, it will be something like self driving cars. All the messiness of swerving to avoid obstacles and detours will still be there, but you won't have to deal with it directly. And what's neat about this is, the brain (model) is already available to you. You can wait for a company to assemble the perfect body (harness), or you can experiment yourself and push the frontier on your own.

@avidseries @unusual_whales It seems that for whatever reason, he's in exactly the position to say so.

Israel is not an equal partner of the US. The sooner Trump starts reshaping the relationship to reflect this, the better. If Netanyahu wants to go rogue on Gaza, that's his particular quarrel, so whatever. But Iran isn't Gaza, and Trump had better send the clearest possible message to Israel that America's priorities are going to guide the strategy with respect to Iran. Netanyahu isn't in any position to say no.

Trump on South Pars Gas Field:

Your conclusion may ultimately be right, but you're playing into a meme. It is just a tool like a programming language. It doesn't just do things for you, you have to put on the time to learn and adapt. You would not write off a programming language you didn't know at the start of the day as being useless because you failed to produce something useful by the end of the day.

I took a long hiatus from programming, and during that time I started to believe the retards saying coding was solved. I finally came out of retirement and spent most of the day working on a production react app. You guys are retarded. The needle barely moved.

@AdamRackis I prefer to look at them as geniuses who have random seizures and also get lobotomized every 200K tokens or so.

Stop calling AI an over-eager junior dev who types fast. No junior dev would ever do anything this fucking stupid

@championswimmer This pairs well with the remote control security model.

So I can now distribute skills with `! rm -rf *` in skills marketplaces and nuke people's projects?

@GovTimWalz So agentic AI is a disrupting the economy and you tax... Facebook? Is this like a sin tax for enabling doom scrolling?

Tech companies are causing disruptions to jobs and our economy, and middle class families are bearing the consequences. To ensure they pay their fair share I’m proposing a tax on social media companies that will support Minnesota workers impacted by artificial intelligence.

I just found another example of this. The next release of the CLI will support using the TUI as a websockets client connecting to the app server in the same way as the desktop app. You can fire up the desktop app, and 2 TUIs pointed at the same app-server and they all update in sync.

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.

@danshipper Relevant. x.com/kcosr/status/2…

something you should know: codex threads can now message each other! really useful if for example you want to have one chat thread to handle stacked prod deployments. just paste the thread id to your other codex chats and it'll message the deployment thread to take over!

@scottstts It is the new vibe-coded cliche, though. It generated on just like that for me.

Is gpt-5.4 actually bad at frontend design tho or do people just say it out of spite? I just asked it to make a one off reader tool for transcript inspection, and it one shot this It looks good and nothing like the vibe coded cliche

@teflonrabbits @Grummz Niiice!

@kcosr @Grummz ALL UR BASEZ R BELONG TO ME

Believe it or not, they just dropped a new Sound Blaster card.
