I should clarify: this is over the internet, not via computer use.

If I turned off my laptop, I can still control my other machines via my Grok Bot on my phone.

I’m stuck in this loop:

“Use LLMs to find all the bugs”

Okay, which model?

“Model X found a bunch of bugs”

“Wait, another lab’s model found bugs that one missed.”

“Actually, a startup with a better harness found more using the same model.”

“Now another startup with a local model, a different harness, and talented researchers found bugs everyone else missed.”

“Hold on, the next frontier model just found another batch.”

All in the same attack surface that’s already been reviewed by everyone above.

@johnlindquist the simplicity of setting up a new server these days is chefs kiss

@_MG_ @HackingLZ you can blame the excessive need to bucket things on the compliance industry tbh

[Cursor @cursor_ai]

New in Cursor design mode: Annotate.

Give agents visual prompts: edit elements, draw on the page, and review your designs at different screen sizes.

this is one of my favorite projects as of late
will share plenty of agent sdk templates this week 🫡

[Cursor @cursor_ai]

The Agent SDK is now available.

Define agents as code, with prompts in Markdown and tools in TypeScript. Deploy them on our hosted infrastructure, or run them on your own.

Built-in evals let you measure every change and make your agents better over time.

@johnlindquist i would also like to know this 😭

[John Lindquist @johnlindquist]

Do any of those vibed Rust compiler/cargo optimizers actually work? Preferably something aiming for a "hot reload" experience with GPUI?

Anyone?

@mrmagan_ to the onlookers, if you buy a @Yubico yubikey, buy it directly from the company instead of amazon

@dillon_mulroy gotta see this

[kepano @kepano]

One week later, Pele is already in dozens of apps including @obsdmd 1.15 and @bot! Many improvements this week:

- Even faster rendering!
- Math resolver support: KaTeX, MathJax, Temml, etc
- Gradients in sankey diagrams
- Fewer edge crossings in diagrams with subgraphs
- Subscript, superscript and inline code in labels + text styles: kbd, underline, ins, cite and others

On a personal note, I am so grateful for all the love Pele received! I truly did not expect it.

My hope with Pele was to get a few bug reports ahead of the Obsidian release, so it's a wonderful feeling to see it adopted so quickly. I take this as a great honor and responsibility.

If you added Pele to your app or website, feel free to share it below 🌋
