I had my first experience using the jcode harness, and it was on a Raspberry Pi 3. Being able to use a massive LLM on such low-end hardware is pretty fun.

Here's how cross compiled: https://t.co/Xlm8lR6dvA

Looking forward to using jcode more

@paulg Using @unisonweb a lot; as well as being a more abstract language, the agent interacts with it through MCP, which at least seems to help on the token in cost. Was struck with how much faster my buffet seemed to go with Rust

@Love2Code Just tested on the pixel 10 in chrome, works great! Very cool

It seems I received someone else's chat response by accident on gemini (agy): https://t.co/0b9K2iCfv6

First time I've seen that happen.

@fwbrasil @tribbloid I thought I saw this in early Claude models, but it's been so long I can't remember for sure. But it's certainly been a long time

[Brandon Barker @b_barker]

@DataChaz Curious how well this does for non Python coding tasks.

[Brandon Barker @b_barker]

@DataChaz @unisonweb has this effectively built-in as an AST-native (not text-native) language with an MCP server

[Brandon Barker @b_barker]

@runarorama Compared to other models have you had to correct it less regarding things like style or code smells?

@gcsolaroli @fwbrasil Love concur, the simplicity and relationships to FP principles has to be one of the coolest things I've seen in a library.

@runarorama Have only been to C and D ... So without doing much more research, B. I'm tempted to say C, but akureyri looks fun.

[Brandon Barker @b_barker]

@Love2Code I wonder how Gemini with antigravity CLI would do

[Brandon Barker @b_barker]

@Love2Code not for a A 3D game but a while back but a while back, I added an mCP server into my game so that agents could do their own screenshots and control the game, etc.

[Brandon Barker @b_barker]

@_bsless @runarorama Only at first, but then it will forget that it's supposed to be in pain

[Brandon Barker @b_barker]

@Love2Code Previously Claude, but due to some Anthrooic billing support and just having less time to use both, I've really enjoyed Codex's more methodical feel. Not sure if that's more the agent, model family, or both

[Brandon Barker @b_barker]

@pinkhardhat2014 @AP everything else aside, more fodder for insider trading I'm sure.

[Brandon Barker @b_barker]

@krassenstein @grok is this real

[Brandon Barker @b_barker]

@akshay_pachaar @grok how much of this does Claude code already do?

[Brandon Barker @b_barker]

@foundmyfitness @grok give examples of vigorous activity that you can do in a house that would qualify
