Interesting to see the ongoing preference for TUI coding agents and terminals. I was a big terminal fan before and loved TUI agents at first. But moving into a web app that wraps "-p" mode has been a huge QoL increase

Hermes agent is pretty neat. The fact that it can fill the role of both OpenClaw and OpenCode is rather interesting. Might have to try some coding tasks with it while DeepSeek v4 is on extreme discount

There seems to be a large scale phishing operation going on targeting Venmo, Cash App, etc. I heard of some people getting compromised, and since then I received a slew of password reset messages I didn't ask for. Stay safe out there

Dang, Nvidia Parakeet is much better than the dictation mode on a brand new iPhone

It's become so hard to enjoy reading online. Once I hit a common AI trope I instantly wonder my time is being wasted with slop Would love to see disclosure of how AI was used in writing become the norm

One day we'll look back and say, "remember when the bleeding edge of computing was a TUI that flickered like hell and told you it was 'julienning' while it generated code for you"?

The agents tend to be chill, but I've seen other travelers get annoyed when they saw me opt out and didn't realize they had the option There's even a little sign stating that the photo is optional. Most people aren't paying attention
Reminder, you can decline to have your photograph taken by TSA when screening. 9 of 10 agents are very nice about it. Just say, “I’d like to opt out of the photograph,” BEFORE you hand them your ID. They don’t care if you get your picture taken or not, and they know the law.

Pilot came on the intercom to say we're number 30 in queue and it might be an hour before take off, due to air traffic controller shortage

What a lovely and insightful conversation between two absolute legends
You probably know @clattner_llvm built the foundation of the software we all use today. Well now Chris is concerned: AI might create a whole cohort of coders that don't understand how to built software that lasts. Watch the full video to be sure you don't end up one of them:

I even threw in a primitive Repo Prompt style file selector to help build up the CLI command, as perfectly portable static HTML Pal doesn't want to become a TUI app, but leveraging the browser here and there for just a touch of GUI is totally fair game :D

It's true, this doesn't meet prevailing definitions for what an AI agent is. There's no loop. There's no choice of tools But it fits with another nice notion I encountered recently: the human is the agent We'll see if it's useful. But hey, I'm having fun

The vibe in 2025: go to one meeting and get five follow up emails from AI note taking apps

Neat to see Brave stepping up as an AI browser safety champion
The security vulnerability we found in Perplexity’s Comet browser this summer is not an isolated issue. Indirect prompt injections are a systemic problem facing Comet and other AI-powered browsers. Today we’re publishing details on more security vulnerabilities we uncovered.
