hutch: local code reviews in emacs for the mildly disenfranchised
I haven't had a real job in four years. I closed down a startup I'd been building, just last month. During all these years, I spent most of that time at the back end of the frontier of AI agents. B…

the hilariously ironic thing about Ather crowdsourcing bumpy roads and potholes throughout the city is that in Bangalore, you now get alerted literally every minute to the point that it's completely useless to have that turned on

decided to emit perfetto traces for instrumenting an agent, and it works... surprisingly ok. dump reasoning tokens, prompts, counters into args and run queries directly on ui.perfetto.dev, no Langfuse et al to setup
perfetto trace for a single-shot agentperfetto sql to fetch total token counts across turns

And it says *100% AI written* with "high confidence." It is 100% wrong. I say... AI detector tools are about as reliable as AI writing tools.

Valve amusingly continues to ship updates to Steam Link—a mostly irrelevant device that's now almost a decade old good to see none other than Sam Lantinga personally posting changelogs steamcommunity.com/app/353380/d...

I wish Flighty offered discounts to ADS-B receiver operators listed on FlightAware's stats DB (flightaware.com/adsb/stats) since that's where they get a part of their data from

a lot of my feed in various places lately is people pretending to know how LLMs and agents are not going to actually replace certain parts of my software engineering job and taste (and related subjective functions) is the real moat or how I'm not using the full power of these tools yet

kitallis @repartee.party · 26/03/2026
all swiftui, wanted it to look and feel as native as possible and have all the billion-dollar compiz effects plus, the inference frameworks used aren’t really portable, I wonder if RN or Flutter expose libraries that generically do on-device LLMs across both (MLKit or Foundation)

Yeah, vision gets raw OCR data, foundation models extract it into meaningful fields. In India at least, if you have a business account and you need to claim business expense, you’re required by law to have the invoice or bill.

since @nid90.bsky.social got a new current account I made her an iOS app to track business expenses and sync on google sheets vision + foundation models, all local and on-device, so quick!

I'm writing an emacs-local code-review agent and reading through your tree-sitter treatise got me sticking tree-sitter operations as tool-calls in the loop. Super helpful!

I started watching The Leftovers during COVID, and I was so pulled in by it that I decided to NOT watch the last 3 eps indefinitely, so that I can come back to it 10-20y later and hopefully feel like that again (5y and counting).

kitallis @repartee.party · 16/01/2026
i didn't find this particularly unhinged software engineers of any reasonable seniority are very good at coming up with metaphorical feedback loops in all sorts of internally consistent analogies, as models to build intuition for themselves or as public punchlines

I wonder if we can do llm swe benchmarks that specifically decontaminate certain "ergonomically human" ideas from training, like tasteful, dev-ex oriented libraries or frameworks (say rails) and see if we can progressively prompt (+elicit) our way to something that everyone "enjoys" using

i have seen like 4 full-length sam altman interviews in the past months (including the nikhil kamath one) and there's something very weirdly unsophisticated about his pitch about AI every time it always slants towards something like start a company and write code or plan itineraries and do science

the main bottlenecks I can think of: - we're running github.com/hanami/api which is a minimal rack-based server - dependency on github.com/fastlane/fas... which I believe is almost entirely written in ruby (no native exts)
github.com
GitHub - hanami/api: Minimal, lightweight, fastest Ruby framework for HTTP APIs.
