attogram··on Your AI Needs Scar Tissue
Ahh I see. I'm doing it per repo. This is distributed.
attogram··on Your AI Needs Scar Tissue
I once tried to teach an agent to have a 'pain reflex' and save memory. The experiment failed horribly.
attogram··on Your AI Needs Scar Tissue
Interesting. I have hypothesis that markdown in repo is better.

See https://github.com/attogram/academic-vibing/blob/main/academ...

attogram··on Your AI Needs Scar Tissue
Summary? Is it "markdown as memory"?
attogram··on How to setup a local coding agent on macOS
8b max on a std 16gb macbook. Anything more and your mac is toast
attogram··on Show HN: Evolution of my AGENTS.md
"Agents MUST do x" never works. 100% fail rate.
attogram··on Devs Deserve PII Protection from Agents
And sanitizing via the LLM never really works.
attogram··on PHPCoin: Pure PHP Blockchain
Yes, the repo name has two n’s (`phpcoinn`) - phpcoin was already taken, so they added an extra n. Not a typo :)
attogram··on PHPCoin: Pure PHP Blockchain
I recently found PHPCoin, a blockchain written entirely in PHP. A niche project!

Repo: https://github.com/phpcoinn/node

Website: https://phpcoin.net

- A real, live L1 chain, with a small but active dev team

- Supports smart contracts, dapps, and web apps

- Readable and hackable PHP code

attogram··on Show HN: Why write code if the LLM can just do the thing? (web app experiment)
"It works. That's annoying." Indeed!

Would be cooler if support for local llms was added. Currently only has support for anthropic and openai. https://github.com/samrolken/nokode/blob/main/src/config/ind...

attogram··on Show HN: Bash Screensavers
Good catch!

For folks curious about the rm -rf see https://github.com/attogram/bash-screensavers/blob/main/gall... line 339

attogram··on Show HN: Bash Screensavers
Agreed! Known bug that will get squashed...
attogram··on Show HN: Bash Screensavers
Some artifact from asciinema maybe. Only shows up in the preview gifs. Needs to be fixed!
attogram··on Show HN: Bash Screensavers
See the spread-the-word script in https://github.com/attogram/bash-screensavers/tree/main/spot... This script generates a series of shell commands to create a "spotlight" message on the main GitHub repository page. It does this by generating commands that make trivial changes to the top 12 files and directories and then commit those changes with custom messages.

attogram··on Web-codegen-scorer: evaluating the quality of web code generated by LLMs
First, why no support for local models?

Second, the emojis in the readme scream AI generated more than any emdash ever could.

attogram··on The inventor of the web says we can recapture its magic. Is he right?
Exactly. Give us a better URL with the full content, otherwise this post is useless.
attogram··on The Rise of Parasitic AI
Sorry, but I see nothing about parasitic AIs here. Just lots of stuff about prompt engineering combined with unstable humans.
attogram··on How did Tether profit $13B in 2024 from USDT?
Does USDC make profit in same range as USDT?
attogram··on Ask HN: What share of your daily dev tools/libraries are from Microsoft?
So you are worried that you will be assimilated by the Microsoft borg. Valid concern. But all that free stuff is hard to stay away from!
attogram··on Contemplative Artificial Intelligence
The "Boundless Care" concept seems akin to Hinkins' Maternal AI.
attogram··on Army Awards TurbineOne Contract for AI-Powered Edge Target Recognition
That's the press release. For better write up see the register: https://www.theregister.com/2025/09/05/us_army_enlists_ai_st...

"Because handing battlefield ID to an algorithm has never gone wrong before, right?"

attogram··on Show HN: Adference – OpenRouter-style proxy that cuts LLM costs with ads
If I have to pay and still get ads, then no. Sorry.
attogram··on Beyond Vibe Coding
Interesting progression of the vibe coding meme, from the original defintion in feb 2025 by Andrej Karpathy, to today
attogram··on Show HN: I Built Open Source Claude Code Alternative, but Better at API Testing
Nice. Suggest you add local llm options: Ollama, vLLM, LM studio, even llama.cpp
attogram··on The Reason Most Startups Fail
So, in summary: a lot of startup founders do not play well with others, often due to psychological issues (ADHD, etc).
attogram··on Supporting Our AI Overlords: Redesigning Data Systems to Be Agent-First
Great paper title.

TLDR: "We argue that data systems need to adapt to more natively support agentic workloads."

attogram··on How to set up a personal website with a custom domain quickly in an hour
Got a lot of manual steps to publish. It all could be done automatically on commits and prs with proper workflow config.
attogram··on Mistral Set for $14B Valuation with New Funding Round
Url is paywalled.

And congrats Mistral!
