Little Control Room's embedded Codex has a file browser with image preview. IMO much better CLI experience than any other (?) terminal AI agent.

[Davide Pasca @109mae]

Added support for Gemma 4 12B to "Little Control Room" via @ollama . Using it now for project management activities. Running 12 tok/s on my M2 MacBook Pro. Might try later for simple coding as well. https://t.co/szCZTyTOxb

@ivanfioravanti Naive memory system will take a note and turn it into a hard fact. A single piece of memory should be built progressively... reinforced across multiple sessions, and in many cases probably just forgotten.

[Davide Pasca @109mae]

@orionintx @petergostev ...and I think we're getting close with code, because top models make so few mistakes and can write a lot of test code to catch them anyway (I've only been using GPT, not sure about Opus these days)

[Davide Pasca @109mae]

@melamedp yes, AI gives a lot of flexibility. For regular employment that would mean redefining the job description.

[Davide Pasca @109mae]

A reminder that most people are not very bright or not very motivated, and they'll find a way to be mediocre no matter what tool you put in their hands. I'm cool with that.

software engineers and developers right now:

@melamedp I guess production is already saturated... but could keep 25% of the programmers + top AI model. Maybe they don't have 25% of programmers that are effective at AI.
I can definitely do now jobs I could never have done before, but I invested considerable time to adapt.

[Davide Pasca @109mae]

@AdolfoUsier @jetbrains one would be crazy not to... no downsides in getting a smart LLM to perform a review. I didn't see the interview, but I guess the Zig team probably does, even if they don't admit it.

[Davide Pasca @109mae]

@AdolfoUsier @jetbrains more Pull Requests and less Public Relations 8)

Browser automation is a messy business.

@thsottiaux I saw this glitch yesterday. One can dream, I guess !

@levelsio > in Aman Tokyo the hallway reeked of weed

Weed is very uncommon in Japan, so in a sense it's still an experience away from the general population 8)

[Davide Pasca @109mae]

@melamedp Rest, React... one of those

[Davide Pasca @109mae]

@melamedp Most people out there are NPCs. They can't use AI meaningfully because they are a cheap form of AI themselves. This includes modern programmers, those that think that JavaScript, Rest and all that shovelware is intellectual work.

[Davide Pasca @109mae]

@melamedp I guess tools alone don't solve problems.

[Davide Pasca @109mae]

@melamedp I guess there are no magic tools... at least until we do a digital mom that does 100% handholding

[Davide Pasca @109mae]

Short on Codex usage, I'm doing real work with alternative models:
- DeepSeek V4 Pro: very cheap, but 6/10 engineer.
- Xiaomi MiMo V2.5 Pro: very cheap, but 7/10 engineer.
- Kimi K2.6: 8/10 engineer, but could easily spend $5-10/day

[Davide Pasca @109mae]

@ffo19D aaaaaand... it's gone

[Davide Pasca @109mae]

Am I dreaming ? "Your plan does not impose Codex rate limits"

[Davide Pasca @109mae]

@melamedp Refers to the news: "JUST IN: Uber’s COO says heavy AI spending is getting harder to justify, as higher token usage fails to show a clear payoff in consumer features."
