Wow this really getting traction in the media here. No details unfortunately and given its a federal system it's likely managed by complacency to the lowest bidder I'm not surprised they don't have a clear details yet (altho I'd imagine they'll have event logs when that one guy who knows splunk come in). Most fed level projects are mandated to use a seam and follow persistence guidelines but nobody seems to actually verify/check this so we will see)

You know you're too old when you see the company name and think! Oh I wonder what Martin Odeskey , Jonas Bonér and co are up to. Wait, didn't they become lightbend... Altho this comment takes away from what these guys are doing which legitimately sounds interesting.

I have an old colleague who I've been leaning on for ai things (they're more on the pulse than I) who uses cue (cuelang.org) for distributing and formalizing a set of skills/prompts.

It's the best thing I've come across (that I don't need to mange myself) https://github.com/p3bot/start

The tool itself does more than just manage skills/prompts but I found that part of it particularly good (well new to me; not familiar with cue but the idea seems like a good fit)

I do like this; but the classic 'dll hell' issue looks like it might be ignored/overlooked (2 plugins depending on the same plugin but of different versions).

I do like that they've thought primarily about implementing an entire IoC in a runtime environment (which seems like an obvious necessity if you have agents changing code underneath you.

Anyways this looks promising for the scenarios its designed for but wholy moley (https://deepseek-harness.github.io/deepseek-harness/en/refer...); I guess spring's boot (+collection of starters) might look the same to the uninitiated or even those who remember the good ol' HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID

Besides the actual topic. The portfolio is fantastic! I particularly liked the yin and yang of world hunger. https://www.davidrevoy.com/article43/yin-and-yang-of-world-h.... I mean not something I want to look at on a wall for too long but it draws on my enjoyment of dark comic book illustrations while also pointing to something topical

I found the person made of dynamite sticks who was trying to light a match in the rain to generate a mental tickle.

Thanks, I want to add https://www.arraycast.com/2025/01/04/Decker.html which introduced me to it. I wish more people had exposure to q/k/apl and think this is a great way to do it.

I think this is the first time I've seen this hit #1 which is nice

Thanks for that audio link. We've added it to the header of this thread, though you'd be welcome to submit it as its own post, perhaps in a few months (to allow time for it to feel fresh again once this thread has vacated the community's memory cache).

Wow thanks for pointing this out! This is actually what I was hoping would happen when the deepspec stuff dropped! And having zlab create these confirms my bias that I think open models are the way.

Yeah I'm with you, this feels like a case for assertions & not a new core feature. Perhaps I'm missing something because it was promoted by Michael Fogus and has been ratified by those who would know (Alex I'm assuming). To me it doesn't pass the test of necessity as something needed at the core but at least it feels somewhat ideomatic.

For me it solves a real issue, a lot of the code that I work on looks like this:

  (defn foo [{:keys [a b c] :or {a 1}]
    {:pre [(some? b) (some? c]}
     .....

having `:keys!` will automatically remove the need for `:pre`

This is a pretty harsh critique, while I see the agent related markdown the application seems measured and well applied. Hardly seems like slop; it's might be a one man show+ai agent but the direction and project composition feel like it's something that's logical and manageable.

I personally like the idea even as a p.o.c (inline with bellards work). I'd like to see how nostr & cloudflare workers providing out of band ops on what is effectively a container per tab.

I don't think that guesstimating that something is an AI slop is very harsh these days. It sure has the signs of one:

- HN User created 66 days ago

- In these 66 days it submitted 4 stories about this project

- The heavy lifting is all done by v86 project (not jslinux as initially suspected)

- The project is a "rebrand/fork" from another project by the same author - "traits.build".

- In the original project, the first commits that mention v86 seem to start at around 23rd of April.

To be clear, I don't really mind people vibing & slopping around. I just would want to have a disclosure about it.

Show dead and you see 23 posts about this exact same thing which gives me pause and makes me wonder, did this guy really post this 23 times?

Why? Or is there some program setup on a loop?

Either way,a legit Linux shell in a browser would be kinda powerful and even if this one isn't legit, Im intrested in adjacent projects...for instance this may be the only way to get a shell in a usable shell on iphone which would be neat and useful

i did. i am trying to get some traction on the project to hopefully collaborate on the development in the community.

thank you for this interesting analysis. however, i do disclose that it's agentic coding in yolo mode on my github page.

thank you!

If you're looking to use this with the community edition I would recommend reading through https://dataintellect.com/blog/running-torq-with-kdb-x-commu... as they outline some of the factors that need consideration.

I really do love what kdb is doing but I think maybe they lost too much momentum (and confidence) when back flipping on previous agreements for the community editions. (Which I don't think they will again with the kdb-x releases as they have a good balance this time) It would have been nice to see torqx just work (tm)
