I think the implication was that an LLM generated the text (which isn't an issue for me even if it was.)

That all being said, I love this project and I love how you're exploring linking in other mediums. I tried to do other linking demos via https://aifoc.us/hypermedia/ - it's something we don't do anywhere near enough

When agents talk: tool calls, handoffs, and two wallets

It's hard sometimes because say it's something that I wrote but someone else posted to HN, I've just had a lot of people's opinions foisted on me.

I'm relatively immune to a lot of things, but we're also entering a world where a lot of people can build and might not expect to have potentially millions of people critiquing their work to the level they do.

Does a URL just sitting in a prompt steer an LLM's output toward its content?

Show HN: Web Push Notifications for Hacker News

I built a little tool that lets you subscribe to posts, comments and users and get notified when they change.

It needs an account on val.town, but that's about it.

Also note, for top stories it can get quite chaotic.

I think we still skew back to an insanely high input token ratio when you consider agentic loops. For example, when I see the tools I use do a web fetch or a search or other tool use, it's an incredibly high number of new input tokens.

That's actually useful to know and it aligns with what I see (I wrote the cost post)

I don't want to say Yes... but... given all of these tools are mostly built with JS and wrapped in a TUI we could probably go some way to having it run in the browser. There are fewer and fewer Node based APIs that haven't got a way to run in the browser.

I also implemented this in the example site in the post.

Author of the linked post here, years ago there was a thing called "Magic iframes" that would allow you to move an iframe between windows - like a Service Worker before ServiceWorkers. I was always amazed by some of the things you could do, but now it seems we forget about iframes :D

Author of the linked post here. This is actually a pretty interesting idea, I'll pass it to the team.
