Oh look, we’re consolidating again. My only gripe with it was that it wouldn’t directly run Typescript. Other than that it just felt a little ... antiquated.

Bun seems popular too, what would be reasons to choose it?

Good analogy. You’re gonna want the model to touch almost everything at some point.

I’d be interested in an effective security layer (e.g. not just allow/denying commands by some pattern) with a time-based component and perhaps some auditing features.

Nah. Model efficiency is determined by the harness. The model needs a ton of support to connect to its surrounding services. Sure, it can built a lot of that itself, but the infrastructure needs to exist.

I’m kind of into OpenCode, in the sense that it’s the best version of what I want (complete, well engineered and configurable/extensible harness server with an efficient remotely connectable UI). I have a good share of issues with it, a lot of it being inexplicable behavior (slowdowns, bugs/glitches, state not being observable).

This description gives me hope that DSH might fit the bill even better - let’s hope their UI API is stable and remotely usable.

While I understand nothing about the specifics (nor do I really care that much), I am so grateful that this work is being done and spread. The previous implementations are clearly flawed in today’s world and this (if the post is to be believed) is just better in all aspects.

Blur matters, attention to detail matters a lot. It also really matters to give the approaches names so that they can be adequately reasoned about.

React has an incredible ecosystem, it's almost synonymous with web development. The available render backends alone, namely React Native, are currently unbeaten.

As interested as I may be in the alternatives, they simply don't have this.

Y’all need to learn to differentiate the 3 things you just mentioned.

> AI lowers the barrier of entry to Rust to virtually 0

Not really. It lowers it, sure. By a lot even. But you still have the system requirement for compilation and ecosystem to deal with.

I wouldn't read too much into it. I've gotten this popup for a model I hadn't had access to yet before and it resulted in what you describe.

I’m so tired by the AI labs’ 100 agent based products. I understand that they’re still figuring out form factors, but does everything have to be incompatible with everything else?

What bothers you the most about Codex? Looking from the outside, it looks like a pretty capable harness with a pretty good client.

That’s what I like about it. It signals a kind of ambition open source projects usually lack.

And this doesn’t even have to mean having to idly wait 20-30 minutes at a fast charger: Lots of shopping and work places have chargers now.

I’m not claiming this to be an entirely solved issue, but the situations in which EVs make sense are already very broad and keep expanding. The city I live in has lantern chargers (admittedly not everywhere), some others are building them into curbs. Apartment parking spaces and garages are getting chargers installed. If you live rurally, chances are high you can install your own.

Sure they are, but do you think they are continuing training to improve a model after release without bumping the version number, presumably only to game the benchmarks?
