Been waiting for someone to build something like this! Very cool, watching this one. I suspect we’ll see more and more deterministic/verifyable harnesses (right word?) as a good balance between order (code) and chaos (llm).

Spent insane amounts of time on Newgrounds back in the day, still watch some of the classics (tank men, ultimate showdown, metal gear awesome, etc etc) from time to time. A different internet back then.

So is this AGI+ now?

I just hope this becomes the law everywhere (or at least, selfishly, in the UK).

Victorian brick houses are all lime based, pointing (mortar between bricks), render outside and internal plaster. (Ours is 140 years old ish).

Lime is also more flexible (these houses have minimal to no foundation and constantly move), it’s breathable (no/less damp) and as such it also improves air quality indoors. It’s annoying to do because drying times are days/weeks not hours, but long run it’s a far superior material for small buildings.

It does burn though if you accidentally get it on your skin!

It wears down quicker than concrete (you can scratch it easily with a nail and minimal pressure). But we’re still talking 50+ years (before repointing brick, in my case). As long as maintained it’ll last forever (our home is 140 years old, I just re-did the pointing, should be good till I die).

Posting it because I just started watching and it’s simultaneously funny and utterly, utterly depressing. Is this really where we’re going?

- https://pyinfra.com - Python infrastructure management, been picking up pace recently trying to keep on top of PRs!

- https://kanmail.io - always plugging away at Kanmail changes, no one uses it really except me but that’s fine :) new site designed by fable blew my mind

- https://verified.fyi - first side project started initially as a vibe coding experiment, but it’s become quite good at sussing out dodgy websites

Somewhat ironic that the site is completely broken on mobile, the text doesn’t render until you scroll near past it. Production code eh?
