Working on another game but now a Space RPG (TUI Edition) with narrative driven by AI. Inspired by Net Hack from back in the day. Sprites are generated in real time via MCP and Aseprite.
Wanted to learn the Cloudflare Stack (Workers + Durable Objects + Queues), best way is to build something so I made a fun little game.. veilstrike.xyz
we’ve officially reached the era where docs are written for the models and humans are just cc’d
Kiro.dev + Read Only AWS IAM Keys = Instant Complete AWS documentation of your infrastructure in Markdown. It's great for this type of work!

This was a great episode of @pragmaticengineer.com There’s ~4 Billion Linux devices 40M lines in the Linux kernel and a typical server uses 1.5M lines Android has ~300 out of tree drivers 1/2 of all kernel bugs would be prevented with rust pca.st/episode/6e31...

I believe in this so hard I also believe in the converse: if you know a little stuff and are talking to someone who knows a lot about that stuff, you should also make a real effort to take the opportunity to learn more from them!
if you know a lot of stuff i think it is your moral duty to be kind and excited when people learn stuff for the first time. the world is full of stuff we don't know about, don't be mean
Thinking without words? Interesting research on using non-word vectors to represent "thoughts" in LLMs for chain-of-thought reasoning. benjamincongdon.me/blog/2024/12...
Chain of Continuous Thoughts
LLMs which use continuous representations for reasoning steps.

One cool way I use ChatGPT tasks: Deliver 5 new tech words, definitions and pronounce them each morning.
Kubernetes The Hard Way has been updated. I've also resolved most of the open issues and pull requests as I set the stage to add support for both ARM64 and AMD64, making the project compatible with both CPU architectures while continuing to be cloud provider agnostic. github.com/kelseyhighto...
AI agents aren't magic. There is a reason the code we write today doesn't scrape HTML pages and uses APIs instead. AI agents are no different. Agents still need an API to interact with and permission to do so. Sure, they can generate a client, then guess what to do next, but good luck with that.
Okay, to put it concisely, what changes with an AI agent is that it is a tool that is more flexible at solving unexpected problems. For example, the airline booking example in your other thread: the AI does not care if an airline recently redesigned their website and all the fields have changed
Not lost on me that it's nonprofit tech, app.watchduty.org, showing up & actually working in the midst of the LA fires (donate to them!) Meanwhile platforms fail to surface key news, vital info is paywalled... As I've been saying, we need a new tech paradigm, yesterday!

It is sad to hear of a beloved open-source maintainer with such a great community rallying behind him. I hope @github.com keeps this repo around in his name forever. github.com/tteck/Proxmo...
Moving forward · tteck Proxmox · Discussion #4025
The community needs to unite and make some important decisions about the path forward. Has a new fork become the go-to choice? Is there a new frontend that we’re rallying behind? This site will soo...

Some people label things they don't understand as being too complex. When you ask them what they are doing instead, their answers are often as complex, with one major difference. They understand it.
