I find it funny that the thing always mentioned with this machine is local AI. If you're a local model enthusiast, then maybe that makes sense, but I just don't see the economics working there.

I ordered the same one for work so I could run more local agents at once (many iOS simulators and Xcode build processes).

I've read that book and it's one of the very core concepts that relates to introducing tests in legacy code ("finding a seam").

A lot of these “Claudeisms” are simply jargon I’ve seen or heard firsthand myself while working at tech companies. I don’t think it’s limited to Claude either; I’ve seen Codex use load-bearing and many of these phrases as well.

I think using agents is just like speedrunning the whole experience of working with technical coworkers. Whereas you might have had a few coworkers at your company who used some of these phrases regularly, you now have a “coworker” who uses all of them regularly at a much faster pace.

The M4 Mac Mini had that option too.

I built a macOS terminal (libghostty wrapper) that runs iOS simulators (and mirrored physical devices) in a Metal-rendered pane inside the terminal.

It works with standard tooling: for example, if anything in one of its tabs runs `xcrun simctl boot`, the simulator just shows up as a pane in that tab. There's a CLI for the things simctl/devicectl don't cover: taps, gestures, rotation, accessibility tree, etc.

- https://github.com/sethdeckard/atria : TUI for managing multiple AI coding agents that doesn't force a particular workflow on you. You can use tmux, the built-in PTY, or terminal integrations with iTerm2, kitty, or WezTerm.

- https://github.com/sethdeckard/loadout : TUI and CLI for managing a personal library of Claude Code and Codex skills across your machines.

- https://github.com/sethdeckard/atlas : TUI and CLI (also works as "cd launcher") that creates a smart, automatic map of every Git repository under your projects root.

I'm using these almost daily.

I built a tool that lets you keep your existing tmux workflow and adds a simple dashboard for monitoring and discovering agents inside tmux: https://github.com/sethdeckard/atria

I recently built something just like this: https://github.com/sethdeckard/atria

It supports tmux, but you can use it without via embedded terminal. It also has native integration with a few select terminals that expose the right kind of APIs.

Installs as single binary (written in Go) with no external dependencies.

Show HN: Atria – terminal UI for managing multiple coding agents

sethd — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 14:55:30 +0000

I built atria, a terminal UI for managing multiple agent sessions in one place. It works as an "agent multiplexer" for sessions running on your own machine.

If you're thinking "why not just use tmux?": It works fine alongside tmux and gives you extra status, visibility, and quick control over agent sessions.

There's three ways to use it:

- Standalone with embedded terminal multiplexer (works in any terminal).

- Integrated with tmux (which still lets you launched into embedded if you want).

- "magic" integration with a few terminals: iTerm2, kitty, and WezTerm.

Supports Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Copilot.

Built with Claude Code and Codex. :)

I did vote, but not for Harris or Trump. :)

Would I have voted for a Democrat or a Republican if they ran the "right" candidate? I suppose anything is possible, but given the history, I would consider that to be very unlikely.

As an independent, let me just say: fuck that. Trump and his voters are to blame.

It also depends on the quality of that enclosure and whether or not it adds heat or fan noise.

I looked into this a couple months ago and external TB5 was still more expensive at 1-2 TB not sure about above, though.

For sure and the Mac Mini M4 Pro with 64GB of RAM feels like the sweet spot right now.

That said, the base storage option is only 512GB, and if this machine is also a daily driver, you’re going to want to bump that up a bit. Still, it’s an amazing machine for under $3K.

Perhaps. Another possibility is that the same societal shift that drove the UK to give up the right to be armed also pushed them in the direction of giving up other rights.

Does anyone know how divesting in this case would actually work?

Would Bytedance still own shares in the resulting US entity? Shares they could sell or get paid with via dividends, just no control over operations?

Wouldn’t this be an example of anchoring?
