Can you explain more about why you need to distribute agents between computers? Why not just run them on your local computer?

I’ve usually heard it as a euphemism for torrents specifically, since these would be one of the main legal uses of torrents.

Thinking from first principles would likely start with “Do we need X?”

Can you give an example of a task you found they struggled with? Also, what agents are you using?

That’s a really sharp observation. Hopefully they take a belt and suspenders approach to these smoking guns in future.

One shot just means the user doesn’t have to iterate on it via the agent. The agent does what ever it needs to deliver the best outcome, including its own running and iteration until it’s happy with it. This could be a short or long process potentially depending on the task.

There are plenty of examples of law makers passing policy to make online and digital surveillance easier.

See TOLA in Australia, the UK trying to backdoor iCloud, Lawful Access to Encrypted Data act.

Surveillance is often sold with safety as the primary narrative.

Could you say more about your workflow? I don’t think I’ve ever gotten close to an hour of thinking before. Always curious to learn how to get more out of agents.

This already exists for me on iOS? Maybe check your notification settings?

The models are the same. The agent implementation is different. I can confirm Claude Code performs much better than GH Copilot with the same Claude models.

Same goes for Claude Code. Literally has vim bindings for editing prompts if you want them.

The list is made by the folks who maintain the “build your own x” repo. This is pretty close to their domain.

I usually just type with two thumbs and can type pretty quickly. Swiping always felt a bit awkward to me because my phone is too large to use one handed with one thumb swiping, and swiping with a finger felt awkward compared to just holding my phone in both hands and typing with both thumbs.

I imagine if you look at how most young people use their phone, it will mostly be the two thumb method and they will likely be very quick with it.
