OpenAI Codex Goals and term-llm progressive mode are two different answers to the same agent-runtime problem: how to make extra time useful without turning autonomy into mush.

A deep dive into Claude Code 2.1.114 — extracting the Bun SEA bundle, reading the auto-mode classifier, and tracing every permission decision end to end.

Anthropic says Opus 4.7 has an updated tokenizer that can use up to 35% more tokens. The best explanation is not simple greed but a deliberate trade: less compression, cleaner segmentation, and better behavior on code and instruction-following.

Anthropic's published Claude app prompts show a shift from style policing in Opus 4.6 to tool orchestration, safety state, and product-runtime instructions in Opus 4.7.

A public side-by-side comparison of 10 TTS voices across neutral Hebrew, mixed Hebrew-English, and modern spoken Hebrew monologues.

A deep dive into how two open-source projects use Claude Code's CLI as a programmable inference backend — with MCP tool injection, vision via stream-json, and very different performance profiles.

An interactive comparison of Venice edit models placing Romeo in a Japanese cherry blossom scene, including naive vs tuned prompt iterations.

A source-level walkthrough of Claude Code's buddy feature: deterministic selection, LLM-generated naming, backend reactions, UI rendering, and rollout gates.

A concrete UX plan for fixing Discourse's split topic-vs-post bookmark experience, with three clickable browser prototypes.

I cloned Nous Research's open-source agent runtime and cross-referenced every feature against term-llm's source. These five ideas survived.

How five coding agents implement Plan Mode — and the philosophical split between trusting the model, the system, and the user.

Steve Yegge built a factory for 30 parallel coding agents. I run one agent for one human. But three of his ideas would make term-llm genuinely better: queryable sessions, tracked tasks, and session compaction.

When you're 100 metres from home, why do your chat packets still cross the Pacific? A design for cutting the US server out of the data path using WebRTC P2P.

Glamour v2 changed its import paths and dropped auto-style detection. That's a good trigger to ask whether term-llm should own its markdown rendering pipeline entirely — and it turns out the codebase is closer to that than it looks.

How we're thinking about adding Model Context Protocol client support to Discourse AI — tool architecture, session model, UI design, and a phased plan for v0.

Why developer messages matter, what Codex does with them, why instructions are not the same thing, and how to fake the pattern on providers that don't support a developer role.

A copy-paste SOUL.md you can drop into OpenClaw to give a new agent a better starting center of gravity.

A proposal for adding evaluator-driven optimization campaigns to term-llm: isolate candidates, run benchmarks, promote winners, and let the thing improve against reality instead of rhetoric.

What broke in Hyprland 0.54+, why wlr-screencopy was deprecated, what replaced it, and what to use now on Arch and Hyprland.

A lean v1 spec for a Discourse plugin that scans docs topics, suggests edits to the first post, and lets maintainers selectively apply them.

A spec for adding progressive execution to term-llm: an anytime agent runtime that produces a useful answer early, keeps improving it, pulses structured state updates, and returns the best-so-far result on timeout.

A clear tour of the less obvious search operators hiding in Discourse's search.rb: exact category matching, tag AND queries, negative tags, date shortcuts, group messages, and more.

A proposal to redesign Discourse's automation system: separate triggers from conditions from actions, enable pipelines, and stop every script from being a kitchen sink.

Toad, Claude Code, Crush, Gemini CLI, Goose, Codex, and OpenCode point to the same design question: should the terminal own text selection, or should the application?

A grounded guide to the most interesting AI papers from the last 10 days: retrieval, memory, benchmarks, web agents, safety, and what actually matters for assistants like Jarvis.

A new research paper separates trajectory compression from cross-session knowledge retrieval. The distinction sounds academic — until you see what collapses without it.

rtk intercepts shell commands before they reach your LLM and compresses the output. I cloned the repo and ran the real before/after numbers.

How do Codex, Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Gemini CLI, Roo Code, OpenCode, OpenHands, KiloCode, and Pi implement the humble grep tool? Wildly different answers.

Every AI coding agent eventually runs out of context. I read the source code of seven of them — Codex, Gemini CLI, opencode, Claude Code, Roo Code, Pi, and OpenHands — to find out what actually happens when they hit the wall.

Running Qwen3.5-9B locally: what the model actually is, why Python version matters, how to get the fast kernels without a CUDA toolkit, and how vLLM nightly now supports it at 55 tok/s.

Vercel Labs shipped a Rust-native browser automation CLI designed specifically for AI agents. I read the source, tested the gaps, and the real story is more interesting than the marketing.

The actual mechanisms behind a stateful AI assistant: fragment databases, hybrid retrieval, sub-agent parallelism, and the strange loop of self-modification.

What HyMem teaches about memory architecture — and what Jarvis already has but hasn't wired up.

A full technical brainstorm for building a two-way voice iOS app connected to Jarvis. Voice LLM as thin router, tool calling, AVAudioEngine, Tailscale, and what needs to be built first.
