Well, maybe not any more. Pi durable looks pretty good.

Pi Durable is a new experimental package for long-running, durable, and malleable agents that can run anywhere. A tour of what we built and why.

Coracle Git

flotilla-agent

A nostr-first agent harness powered by pi. General-purpose harness, but batteries included for nostr applications. Powers Flotilla's hosted agents.

and probably will continue to do so, but the design is quite similar to pi-durable. A little less minimalistic, but it's deeply integrated into nostr, so it might still have a place.

New version of Coracle is out: 0.6.38 * Upgrade to welshman 0.12 * Fix retrying a failed direct message on the publishes page * Retry decrypting direct messages instead of dropping them * Back off when reconnecting to unreachable relays * Upgrade insecure requests to https

Are you teaching your kids to program, or prompt? I just built

Dungeon Crawler Tutorial

for my son and I can't shake the feeling that I'm like a dad in the 90's teaching his kid to write assembly code. At the same time, I don't think we as a society have a grasp on how to approach LLMs in a healthy way. This new way of working is still routinely destroying the minds of professionals with decades of experience. I'm not about to unleash it on my kid. Are there better skill sets to teach your kids so they can be digitally literate in the future? AI architecture? Hardware? Philosophy?

All hows are whats, and all whats are hows, except for God himself.

@Karnage I've begun vibing a game for my kids. It's a low-poly racing/combat game. Fun to be able to produce something so cool for them.

@DanConwayDev I am trying to use ngit with a non-ngit origin, and it looks like some checks assume a particular git setup. My origin is set to my gitea repository, and `upstream` is set to fiatjaf's ngit repository. When I try to push to `upstream/pr/listmethodassignees` I get: Error: cannot push 'refs/heads/pr/listmethodassignees' as proposal as branch isn't ahead of 'origin/master'

@Nostrord someone has a question about svg support in the flotilla support space:

Books by Ivan Illich vs books about Ivan Illich

It's honestly stunning https://www.reddit.com/r/DiscordAlternatives/s/m2czrX9SFt View quoted note →

I read Malcolm Guite's Galahad and the Grail recently (which I highly recommend), and now I'm seeing Arthurian legends everywhere. Lord of the Rings is an Arthurian legend. There are Arthurian elements in LeGuinn's cosmology. I'm tempted to think at this point that the entire fantasy genre is really just a secularization of Arthur.

People on reddit are even more disagreeable and abrasive than people on nostr 😂

Just released https://gitea.coracle.social/coracle/nostadon, which allows you to replicate your posts from nostr to mastodon. Why would you want to do this? I don't know, but you can now.

New Coracle release: 0.6.37 with some bugfixes, maintenance, and special requests. * Support encrypted files in direct messages * Add a setting for turning off link previews * Add social preview tags for shared coracle.social links * Rebuild the app on welshman 0.10 * Cache events separately for each logged-in account * Remove relay reviews * Fix comment tags * Fix errors when signed out * Reduce bandwidth and speed up page loads

Does anyone have opinions on vinix? Seems pretty cool, but no one on HN is talking about it much.

New release of Flotilla is out! This is the first primarily clanker-written version, so it's a combination of bugfixes, splashy but poorly thought out features, and busy work (many tests, much CI). My favorite new features are related to dictation and TTS — if you enter an OpenRouter API key into your settings, you'll now have the ability to ask flotilla to read a message to you. You can also dictate a message, transcribe it, and send it as a chat message. Lots of redesign too, making classifieds, threads, and calendars more useful. I've also gotten rid of the dumb home page and added an inbox view which spans all your spaces, as well as a kind 1 feed from people you follow. But wait, there's more: * Replace the home page with a dashboard of unread conversations, space activity and a network feed * Redesign the calendar with month, week and agenda views, and add RSVPs * Redesign classifieds as a browsable marketplace * Rework threads as one continuous list with unread indicators on every board * Add slash commands * Add read out loud and voice dictation * Add a desktop app with Linux, Windows and macOS packaging * Add relay data import and export to the hosting panel * Add a mute setting for rooms * Show NIP-38 statuses and a pinned note on profiles * Rework search dialogs * Improve link previews, falling back to an inline link when one fails * Persist direct messages so history survives relay retention * Add an image by upload or url from one dialog, and play audio attachments inline * Let space icons be dragged to reorder in the sidebar * Open the space menu in a drawer instead of navigating away from the room * Fix push notification delivery, taps and badge counts * Update welshman library to 0.10.9 * Performance improvements to feeds, room chat and reactions * Add an end-to-end test suite covering the user story catalog Out on zapstore and web, ios and play store soon.

@jack buzz is a disaster from an interop point of view, which is sort of the whole point of nostr. You should have your guys take a closer look at adhering to standards instead of using proprietary solutions. Flotilla is standards-first, and is an easy resource you can point your clankers. Nostrord is also very good, and talks to flotilla pretty well.

@Mostro you've started sending me mangled base64 nip 17 DMs. Please stop whatever weird thing you're doing and choose a different kind.

So I've been fiddling around with connecting agents to Flotilla for a couple weeks, and I'm discovering that while it's easy to get up and running, building a good harness is quite difficult and has a lot of trade-offs. I know a lot of you have built nostr agent harnesses. Shill your project here, I'd like to take a look and see if I can avoid re-inventing the wheel.
