However if you view your content as valuable and the algorithm does not anymore, it's probably not the best platform for you to be on.

Haha. Was just thinking that as I was reading a comment!

I was thinking, this argument is suspicously cogent!

Have had good results on MacOS just using codex (or your cli of choice).

Have it create a swift app, unless extended permissions are needed it can compile withouy going into xcode.

Few simple util apps, disk cleaner, clipboard manager. Worked pretty well.

Had better results than using xcode's built in ai extension.

I wouldn't underestimate this as a good business decision either.

When the mass surveillance scandal, or first time a building with 100 innocent people get destroyed by autonomous AI, the company that built is gonna get blamed.

I know about "the entire developer world has been refactored" and all, but what exactly does this thing do?

Runs git checkpoint every time an agent makes changes?

New comment by dpweb in "Show HN: LocalGPT – A local-first AI assistant in Rust with persistent memory"

dpweb — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 03:24:06 +0000

Made a quick bot app (OC clone). For me I just want to iMessage it - but do not want to give Full Disk rights to terminal (to read the imessage db).

Uses Mlx for local llm on apple silicon. Performance has been pretty good for a basic spec M4 mini.

Nor install the little apps that I don't know what they're doing and reading my chat history and mac system folders.

What I did was create a shortcut on my iphone to write imessages to an iCloud file, which syncs to my mac mini (quick) - and the script loop on the mini to process my messages. It works.

Wonder if others have ideas so I can iMessage the bot, im in iMessage and don't really want to use another app.

New comment by dpweb in "LLMs could be, but shouldn't be compilers"

dpweb — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 15:05:08 +0000

Compilation is transforming one computing model to another. LLMs aren't great at everything, but seem particularly well suited for this purpose.

One of the first things I tried to have an llm do is transpile. These days that works really well. You find an interesting project in python, i'm a js guy, boom js version. Very helpful.

New comment by dpweb in "Nanolang: A tiny experimental language designed to be targeted by coding LLMs"

dpweb — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 18:15:47 +0000

I disagree I think we always need new languages. Every language over time becomes more and more unnecessarily complex.

It's just part of the software lifecycle. People think their job is to "write code" and that means everything becomes more and more features, more abstractions, more complex, more "five different ways to do one thing".

Many many examples, C++, Java esp circa 2000-2010 and on and on and on. There's no hope for older languages. We need simpler languages.

dpweb — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 15:37:35 +0000

We don't understand the brain. We fully understand what LLM are doing, humans built them. The idea we don't understand what LLMs are doing is magical. Magical is good for clicks and fundraising.
