@kristiburke.bsky.social I love your content! Your style reminds me of an evangelical speaker I listened to in the 2010s. I particularly remember her once at Breakaway Ministries in Texas. Any chance you know her name? Asking in case she influenced you too

Ohhh I didn't see the find more extensions button! I'll use that again. When I configured AGY to launch /Applications/Polypane.app/Contents/MacOS/polypane it launched Chrome instead. Probably Electron incompatibility nbd ✌🏼

AGY abstracts away the MCP. It installs a Chrome extension and allows the Chromium executable to be configured. Just an idea in case enabling the extension is easy! antigravity.google/docs/chrome-...

And thanks for the link! Just switched from an abandoned alternative developer browser 🧠

Antigravity would require the Chrome extension. I haven't checked if electron browsers work in general yet. Re. MCP I meant I wonder if a separate Polypane MCP would be magically smarter at testing responsive or something (maybe not)

Texas Toland @texastoland.com · 23/11/2025
@polypane.app Feature idea 💡 Antigravity's browser is configurable. It'd be cool if it could launch Polypane! I wonder if its own MCP might help too

Gemini personally but I understand if you do a more popular 1 first!

This sounds like a perfect match 😍 Any plans to provide other agents like Gemini CLI through ACP?

🥉 LG Exaone 32B kept trying to run a failing Python script without fixing it 🥈 Phi-4 Reasoning and DeepSeek Qwen 8B both rattled verbose academic thought chains and failed at tool calling 🥇 Qwen3 30B (2507 non-reasoning) alone gave succinct correct output identical to my daily driver Gemini Flash!

I couldn't get "OpenGPT" (4-bit quantized) to respond sanely. It was chatty, broke Markdown formatting, and often ended with long chains of gibberish tokens. I used a basic Fibonacci prompt with a custom code execution tool. I tried the following SOTA models instead (spoiler: Qwen3 won) 🧵

With the Augment Code on @jetbrains.com and Junie on the horizon I'm in the process of switching to @webstorm.jetbrains.com. But the biggest surprise of the week was Fleet ❤️‍🔥 I've seen so many bad reviews but it's everything I ever wanted from Code! If VS gets on your nerves it's worth a try

A week later I still love dropping into Codespaces for random shit like fixes to Obsidian plugins. But I'm surprised how often I lose my terminal connection inside. It also doesn't warn me before accidentally closing my broswer tab vs editor pane

Texas Toland @texastoland.com · 14/03/2025
I know it's stupid but sometimes I don't PR just because I don't want to clone etc. Lately I've been opening a repo into GitHub.dev to make easy fixes then jumping straight into Codespace when necessary. And @github.com has made the flow between sites completely seamless. It's 🔥🔥🔥

I only tried briefly around the time you posted. I liked it but mostly got frustrated with key bindings between panes. It improved a little since then. Did you end up on Zen then? I switched back to Arc until it's unusable

Correction: The original match between AlphaZero vs Stockfish on unequal hardware was 28W-72D-0L. The equalized rematch ended… 155-839-6 🤯 And these games look utterly alien! youtu.be/8dT6CR9_6l4?...
