fyi telephone numbers are like $2.50/mo with e911 on telnyx and you can set up a self hosted AI call screener pretty easily.
since I needed to keep my mobile number on cellular I set up an always forward rule to the screener number (only accepts calls forwarded from my cell), with a couple of auto passthroughs
After screening, the calls are looped back to the mobile phone via a second number on telnyx, a private line that connects through the groundwire VOIP app on my phone. It passes the CID information through and a live STT model tells me the callers name and reason for calling, and I press 1 to answer or hang up to send to VM.
This has basically completely eliminated distracting phone calls from my life, and regardless of whether or not the call comes through, Hermes lets me know about it.
pro omp tip add instructions to agents.md to use mermaid diagrams more and turn the setting on to get claude code esque diagrams in your turn outputs with whatever model you want
Around ~10d ago I started building Archē
The GUI, among other things is fully GPU driven, written in Rust, virtualized, handling thousands of messages per second
Combined with the search engine I'm building, the Ceridwen library and more will combine into something interesting
Greetings
Now (My) the Pythia Search Engine™️ v000.3 has a an interface that I've been using locally to test the quality of the results
Know that your favorite search engine is probably not searching and uses third-party APIs
This is a local test with ~2000 our of many million
i have another port being stuck in an "almost done" state where i fight endless micro bugs, so i wanted to try matching decomp to settle some of the ambiguous things. i was dreading it since it was a windows game and most decomp projects i've seen are console games.
turned out it took just 10 mins to set up. https://t.co/KD4K59OQOx has a compiler collection of every version for every platform. and the compiler settings were also easy to match on a few small functions.
People asking how you do this. It's literally all containers, black box testing and observability. That's literally it. If you care about infosec because it's externally facing spend more time redteaming and checking networking rules but if you're privately networked who cares
Plannotator 0.19.27 is out
Plannotator will use @DanielGri's Glimpse instead of a browser if you have that installed. This creates a semi standalone experience. (See glimpse in the video along with annotating all agent messages)
@kirodotdev is now supported
Plan/Annotate:
- You can now annotate multiple messages.
- Mermaid rendering optimizations
- Pi approval flow optimizations (plan mode)
App wide:
- A bit more of an obvious update notification that doesn't stick around.
luckily bookmark rot is an easy problem to fix now
here's how to turn every X bookmark you've ever saved into a second brain your agent has full context on:
1. export your bookmarks. i use twitter-web-exporter (free userscript) or the BookmarkSave extension. you get one file with every bookmark + the full text + the author + the link
2. drop that file into a folder. if you already run an llm wiki / obsidian vault, drop it straight in so your bookmarks join the rest of your knowledge
3. point your agent at the folder (claude code, codex, hermes, whatever you run) and tell it: "read this export and turn every bookmark into its own markdown note with the original link and a couple of topic tags"
that's it, your agent has read all of it.
now you can ask "what have i saved about pricing" or "pull everything i bookmarked on claude code" and it answers across the whole pile
takes maybe 10 minutes
after that they actually get used, and every new bookmark folds into the same brain instead of rotting in a tab you never open again
I started keeping an ADR (Architectural Decision Records) inside my codebase, and having coding agents like Codex/Claude Code reference it during Q&A discussion seshes
It makes every single conversation COMPLETELY aligned with my thought process, and improves my experience with agents in my codebase EXPONENTIALLY
I architect software by having a simple conversation back and forth with my agent in the codebase I want to start building on
Architecting and designing the higher level system directly is the most important layer in software engineering
Coding by hand is null, if you are an architect (and not a coder), because agents do a REALLY good job at the manual job of ~ writing code to follow instructions ~
In these discussions a critical design detail will come up often.
For example, when I'm working on a database, it is critical to ensure database permissions are enforced, as mistaking what role can access what data is a company shattering error!
To ease my anxiety on this, I create a centralized tenant scoping system that ALL AGENTS MUST USE IN THEIR CODE, or the linter will literally not pass and they CANNOT commit this code
When I finish I tell that coding session to "Ensure tenant scoping is enforced in our codebase, make sure it is not possible for the code to run if there are any direct database calls in our code. Add this to our ADR"
The agent will then capture this critical architectural decision in our local ADR docs.
When future agents begin working on the codebase, they refer to our ADR docs and instantly understand the TASTE of my codebase
Now when I'm creating a feature it's fucking crazy LMFAO
Every decision they make is aligned with my taste, my style, and it makes it SO easy to build on top.
It prevents cheating because we can enforce these ADR decisions as a custom ESLint rule (which Codex 5.5 is VERY good at btw), however, when agents can understand the correct path of development in the codebase, it builds on top of it perfectly.
Anyways it's been amazing. Tell your agents about this and try it yourself!!
i've become so pi pilled I don't have any skills, mcp, custom agents, api calls, or even extensions anymore it's all just custom tools that get baked into the system prompt in omp lol.
