For what it’s worth I tried an experiment where I had a similar harness (where LLMs competed head to head playing snake) and made them aware of their budget and it had very little impact. This was cheaper open weight models

I do this too, the recent MacBook chargers have 2 usb-c and I have 4 of the plug parts that adapt it. Very minimalist but for short trips with single charger it is great

This might if you’re from the US as I’ve collected the ends over time, but I’ve never seen them for sale except the US one: AC Power Adapter Wall Folding Plug Duck Head,US Standard Plug Duck Head Compatible with MaBook Pro Air/Maci Book/Phone/Pod Power Adapter Brick

> I’ve never seen them for sale except the US one

Apple - at least used to - sell an international plug pack if you’re missing some. I can’t even remember where I got some of my plugs. They’ve been doing this for decades, and the international plugs are still compatible.

It’s been years since, but I bought on Amazon a bag of 8 different ends that work everywhere in the world.

It wasn’t from Apple, but it’s basically a plastic shape and 2 or 3 (depending on end) metal parts - it’s hard to get wrong, and easy to test before use.

Is this possibly a replacement for Orbstack?

Love this, I’m playing around with the cheapo esp32+servos version of this, super fun.

Something I’m working on is a hardware CLI for agents to run experiments, with a “CICD” pipeline that validates everything and means I can delegate more of the experiments to the agents. I wonder if you have any thoughts on this?

The idea is to allow the coding agent to run the full loop of experiments and validations, with vision, audio, button pressing, speaking etc to interact in place of the human

Very cool!

Have you seen the recent nvidia thing? They do this at scale for robotics manipulation: https://research.nvidia.com/labs/gear/enpire/

Ah no I hadn't seen that, very interesting.

I'm finding a gap just before running those experiments.

The process of updating firmware, doing basic smoke tests on each device and validating it is live, and can function correctly.

Basically the pre-deployment green light that you get on github, but for hardware.

Have you seen or thought about that at all?

This seems indeed useful. I haven't seen this for robotics but I'm sure people need this for larger deployments (either for a distributed fleet or for an "arm farm"-like setup where there's many robots in one location for data collection / eval). Interesting idea!

Great thanks for giving it some thought, I’ll share a video as it’s all quite an early concept but saving me a lot of time on the bench!

Great! I feel well positioned to say this is great :) I’ve been hoping for something like this.

My ideal: slower, more real time, full maps based on actual locations, replay specific naval battles. Multiplayer (maybe it is?), realistic fog of war. I could go on

Edit: a few more. Sail trim is clunky and seems unresponsive or unclear how it maps to physics. Would be better to have trim on one side and steering on the other. Also to turn off tacking with tap. Steering too sensitive. The battles are great. (All on mobile)

Oh wow thanks for the great suggestions and kind words, glad you’re enjoying the game!

It’s funny, your ideal scenario is almost exactly what I have in mind for the first PvP map coming soon, a slower predetermined map with historic factions/safe zones and ofc lots of combat with bots or people

I can definitely revisit the trim and responsiveness. Buried in the settings in ship logs you can move the wheel to the other side, need to make that more accessible

If you haven't already, take a look at the game Windward. I have similar vibes when playing your game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/326410/Windward/

This would be a different game but I'd enjoy just sailing around semi-realistic maps with realistic wind. I pixellated Hundred Rabbits simulator would be pretty cool.

I doubt it has an "age of sail" mod, but there's this one: https://store.steampowered.com/app/794860/eSail_Sailing_Simu...

This seemed the closest, of quite a few! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=61053...

What is the best way to give coding agent a full website so that it can see what I see? With animation and design I’m never sure what it gets when I save the website in the browser. Maybe this is suitable?

> but customers kept pulling us toward their data analysis problems

I hear this all the time, I still don’t think it’s a good justification to build a BI tool, but I hope this time it is different.

Product looks cool! I’m hopeful that agents do actually unlock business analytics and we can move on from the BI concept

Edit: a rough explanation of why you get pulled towards data problems is that they are intractable symptoms of upstream process issues. Customer sees a capable startup and co-opts them into trying to solve their tarpit problems. Happens all the time!

We hear you on getting pulled into tarpit problems, and on the pattern you're describing leading to them. The core product motivation we're excited about is letting humans and their agents act on data together, but we do think that requires thoughtful tooling to exist before that becomes desirable (more to come here). Our newer customers tend to be a little more technology forward, which helps us focus on the product we're offering them rather than internal politics or process issues.

primary use is Document processing automation, or Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)

Experienced the same nightmare a few times over with citations.

React/next is limiting, we have rebuilt this for angular and now redid it again using lit for better compatibility. Our old one is very similar to this.

Loading citations for each field across 1000s of pages, colliding citations for all the messy formats, zoom, rotate etc. what a mess!

Great that you took the time to MIT this as it would have saved us many hours, though I think today Fable + Codex makes it pretty quick

I could recreate these in lit as a fork, would be very useful to have the full set

Someone requested web components earlier so let me know if you make that happen!

Yes.

I often laugh (cry) at the Kindle Product Manager team who ship nothing but DRM updates.

How about a dictionary modal where the font is the same size as the page text..? Hard to imagine what they do all day, given they do seem to force updates but nothing seems to improve
