@schrep odd to show gigawatts (rate) for energy storage (absolute capacity), right? perhaps the rate is the more important metric - i.e. how much total amperage can the installed batteries support?

how is the github app this bad?
- can’t navigate to a specific issue/discussion
- can’t see all open PRs for a repository (of which i’m an admin)
- can’t navigate to a specific commit

am i holding it wrong?

my favorite john carmack-ism is to see him reply to someone with a bet. i wonder how often someone is willing to stand by a statement enough to make one.

[John Carmack @ID_AA_Carmack]

@matt503ea5sf9z5 Care to bet on that? Think carefully — by Halloween 2028, a robot running an open source model will be able to autonomously go through that entire process? I’ll give you 2:1 odds against that happening.

@ndemir the broker/automation does the login via text injection into a separate tab. the agent and llm never see it and don’t even have a relationship with 1password

[Shaheen Gandhi @visigoth]

now that agents can use web browsers, the next frontier is having access to your credentials. but, you don’t really want to hand over your passwords to all the agent companies - Instinct, Muse, whatever comes next. so, i built a thing that avoids that.

[Shaheen Gandhi @visigoth]

@WhrWinterSleeps this works with 2FA if you store the TOTP code in 1password also.

@pitdesi iirc @Austen just tweeted about introducing econ/finance at a high school level. i do wonder whether HS kids get the foundations early enough that allow them to internalize the topics you mentioned, though.

[Shaheen Gandhi @visigoth]

@CLEMENTAIEXPERT yes, there is a TTL on the open tab as well. the browser automation is asynchronous. the agent waits for a login result, and one of the results can be "failed" with some context about the failure (i.e. "timed out waiting for user" in this case).

[Shaheen Gandhi @visigoth]

my opinion: don’t give your usernames and passwords to Instinct. if you’re a 1password user and would like to try my solution, let me know! it’s somewhat hacky right now, and haven’t had time to clean it up to be usable outside of my own homelab.

[Shaheen Gandhi @visigoth]

the next step is where my broker/automation use policies to notify me when my agent wants a particular login, allowing me to approve the request asynchronously and without giving blanket access. another improvement is a TTL that sweeps the cookies to force logout after a time.

[Shaheen Gandhi @visigoth]

@mvernal given the news today, someone who creates an agent-friendly purchasing catalog sliced up by vertical is going to do pretty well. imagine being an electronics person and having an agent sort through digikey/mouser for applicable and available parts.

[Shaheen Gandhi @visigoth]

@cloneisjun i’ll admit it’s been a very uphill battle on two fronts: browser logins and phone calls. i just got browser logins working, and phone calls are just super hard to get working with off the shelf components.

[Shaheen Gandhi @visigoth]

my openclaw is pretty good so maybe i should be out there shopping around…

[JC Bahr-de Stefano @jbahrdestefano]

Wow... Instinct in talks to raise at a $10B val, @sequoia + @benchmark looking to lead (@theinformation)

100k+ users, free product, hitting capacity limits + heavy compute costs so they need $$$

Val trajectory: $100M → $500M → $2.5B → ~$10B in a few mos! W/ no revenue... 🤯

Longer term they want to buy their own chips + run their own data centers

@cmonkey @sdamico i’d really like to understand how the presence of a bacterium in your gut teaches your gut how to break down a compound.. or is it that you’ve innoculated yourself with enough of it that you now have a permacolony of it that can handle enough lactose?

@mvernal @conviction @KeenableAI @quadrillionlabs in my recent search for something new, i was very sad to see the state of affairs for seattle. glad there’s one on the list, but it feels like there’s just not a whole lot going on up here within hardware/software co-design
