<p>I do like this; but the classic 'dll hell' issue looks like it might be ignored/overlooked  (2 plugins depending on the same plugin but of different versions).<p>I do like that they've thought primarily about implementing an entire IoC in a runtime environment (which seems like an obvious necessity if you have agents changing code underneath you.<p>Anyways this looks promising for the scenarios its designed for but wholy moley (<a href="https://deepseek-harness.github.io/deepseek-harness/en/reference/capability-seams" rel="nofollow">https://deepseek-harness.github.io/deepseek-harness/en/refer...</a>); I guess spring's boot (+collection of starters) might look the same to the uninitiated or even those who remember the good ol' HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID</p>

<p>Yeah I'm with you, this feels like a case for assertions & not a new core feature. Perhaps I'm missing something because it was promoted by Michael Fogus and has been ratified by those who would know (Alex I'm assuming). To me it doesn't pass the test of necessity as something needed at the core but at least it feels somewhat ideomatic.</p>

<p>This is a pretty harsh critique, while I see the agent related markdown the application seems measured and well applied. Hardly seems like slop; it's might be a one man show+ai agent but the direction and project composition feel like it's something that's logical and manageable.<p>I personally like the idea even as a p.o.c (inline with bellards work). I'd like to see how nostr & cloudflare workers providing out of band ops on what is effectively a container per tab.</p>

(Which I don't think they will again with the kdb-x releases as they have a good balance this time) It would have been nice to see torqx just work (tm)</p>

<p>While I haven't read all the posts here I was wondering if anyone also noticed a 10% usage before their most recent weeks usage even started? (Specifically over 2026-03-27/28) I was seeing weird service outages over this time too. I suspect they're not being 100% truthful with how they are recording usage (feels like they had an agent run a backfill approximation). So they blur it with weekends rates etc.<p>Anyways I don't have the knowledge as to how to audit this (claud pro) to confirm what feels like an onboard at any cost business behavior.<p>Is anyone currently auditing through openrouter/litellm and seeing any poor correlation to the session/weekly limit?</p>

<p>Sorry, I did compose it from my phone and wasn't clear. I realize the article talks to the Maven tooling I was talking to it's data aggregation and modeling suite more generally. (And obviously would have been used as part of the Iranian engagement. The "if at all" statement was meant to be "tongue in cheek" given the current mess being reported)</p>

<p>I'm curious as to how Palantir has been used during the war or Iran (if at all or does it suffer from subjective bias). I know there were larger movements at play on a political level here but I'm becoming concerned about how much one "thought group" (in private corps) is having on the world's largest war machine.  might be dulling critical thinking.</p>

<p>Token usage and agent usage optimisation?<p>It seems like a real problem for me. Probably because I'm not overly inspired to pay for a Claude x5 subscription and really hate the session restrictions (esp when weekly expend at the end of the week  can't be utilized due to session restrictions) on a standard pro model. Most of my tasks are basically using superpowers and I find I get about 30-90m of usage per session before I run out of tokens (resets about every 4 hours after which I generally don't get back to until the next day (my weekly usage is about 50% so lots of wastage due to bad scheduling). A tool like this could add better afk like agent interoperability through batching etc as a one tool fits all like scenario.<p>If this gets its foot in the door/market-share there is plenty of runway here for adding more optimized agent utilization and adding value for users.</p>

<p>Yeah, but it's specifically testing things that implement against a posix API (because generally that's what "native" apis do (omiting libc and other os specific foundation libraries that are pulled in at runtime or otherwise) I would suspect that if the applications that linked against some wasi like runtime it might be a better metric (native wasi as a lib/vs a was runtime that also links) mind you that still wouldn't help the browser runtime... But would be a better metric for wasm (to native) performance comaparison.<p>But as already mentioned we have gone through this all before. Maybe we'll see wasm bytecodes pushed through silicon like we did the Jvm... Although perhaps this time it might stick or move up into server hardware (which might have happened, but I only recall embedded devices supporting hardware level Jvm bytecodes).<p>In short the web browser bit is omitted from the title.</p>
