This blew up spectacularly when combined with Time Machine, I wonder if that’s fixed.

Is that actually QAT? the MLX Community models have that in their names, but these don't, and the upload dates don't quite line up.

Came here to say that (not a Xoogler, but very familiar with portions of Google). Other companies have similar things :)

I added a chat tool to https://github.com/rcarmo/piclaw, so any active session can chat to each other, regardless of what model they run. It's led to interesting outcomes: https://x.com/rcarmo/status/2054185558402904338?s=20

New comment by rcarmo in "Show HN: Tired of duct-taping access control into agent prompts. Here's the fix"

rcarmo — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 15:36:00 +0000

You're not getting it. The env vars are only exposed in the local agent runtime. The agent's identity against Azure Key Vault determines what it has access to.

(and I also expand some env vars on fetch() requests for APIs that don't have hard IAM/Entra ID auth)

The keychain tool has the same semantics whether we're running solo, locally, in a container, anything. The agent doesn't know anything except the handles for the keys it has access to, whether they come from encrypted SQLite locally or from the Azure Key Vault via REST. It can't tell the difference, and different agents on different K8s containers (or other IAM entities) see different things depending on their key vault access.

It's literally 100 lines of Bun Typescript (150 for the cloud version).

And believe me, you don't want to reinvent IAM in your keychain/secrets management. Let the provider do it for you, that's what they are there for.

I just gave my agents a keychain tool that expands prefixed environment variables automatically into their shell. Can work locally or against a cloud key vault. Done.

I’d like to say thanks for that - I’ve been using it on my IR version of joker: https://rcarmo.github.io/projects/go-joker/ and it’s been very helpful to pin down bugs.

Nice. I’m doing https://rcarmo.github.io/projects/piclaw (which is embedding pi) but I like the way this is designed. Congrats!

I used Hy for a long time, then tried Janet, and ultimately realized that I wanted more batteries included but didn't want Python... So I forked https://github.com/rcarmo/go-joker and am tinkering with it until it does all I want.

As someone trying to port 9front onto a similar board, I can tell you firsthand that it is not trivial (I actually did that because it was “simpler” than porting Haiku, but then the Haiku folk point blank refused to have anything to do with the precursor build scripts because the README had emoji and I do use Codex, and… it’s a very long story… I decided to not waste tokens on Luddites)

But I will get 9front going, it’s already loading the kernel.

(Ironically, I came here to comment that the review is completely unreadable with the amount of ad inserts - almost one per paragraph!)
