Do you mean blubs?

I'm actually very happy about this. Babysitting the agent just in case it needs me to do something is a terrible use of my time. I've always had to be very explicit about the various ways that it can get an automated feedback loop going to check its work, and now Fable doesn't even need that hand holding. Really great improvement all around.

Modern CSS is actually really quite pleasant.

Generally you don't even need to do the sub-routing in the handler. You can just render the entire page and have `hx-select` attributes pluck out the part that you want.

On the mobile point, there is https://github.com/instawork/hyperview

Your Go server can have endpoints that render XML instead of HTML and basically get the same server-driven experience of your HTMX site. Fully skips the need for the app review process since you're not updating the actual client app code to make UI changes.

They're definitely rare. Mirror's Edge is almost 20 years old. Reaching back that far for an example just reinforces how rare it is.

If you tally all the FPS releases in a given year, a supermajority are going to have male protagonists.

How is neurosymbolic not aligned with the bitter lesson? The bitter lesson is completely agnostic to architecture.

Why on earth would you spend any time at all convincing an agent of anything? You say "just do it" and off it goes.

I'm a divided individual.

I've spent an obscene number of hours learning how to get reliably good quality code out of these things. I'm actually very happy with where the tech is right now and can't imagine ever going back to typing code by hand.

But I absolutely hate how companies and society at large are acting because of this stuff. It feels like all rationality has flown out the window. So I'm just staying in my sandbox with my little toys and hoping the mass psychosis blows over at some point.

> why are you comparing Claude Code to your editor?

Because the editor does more. All the compute-intensive parts of the agent are in the cloud. Zero reason for an agent harness to require anything beyond a potato to run.

Deferred tool loading is not part of MCP. It's a Claude API special parameter that most other LLM APIs do not support.

For the real emacs experience you could use this mod to render an IDE in Minecraft editing the mod that renders the IDE.

When you say modules, is that @scope or something else? I can't find any reference to a native thing called modules but this seems to fill the same role.

That still leaves the question of how one gets their foot in the door. Lots of us are aware of the budgets but we don't get how's sales work at that level.
