@Daniel Wigton might be worth looking into :) It's a good way to give yourself isolation from running everything all in the same environment. The one downside is you have to find a way to manage context. The tools aren't efficient at all, still needs a bunch of tuning but wow you can do so much without blowing up your system.

@vinney...axkl Build your own clanker. Have it schedule a task and print the weather out XD

I'll wait a bit. I haven't run into those limitations yet, mostly because I am using pi as a single agent coder and just using local Qwen. I'd like to get into agents playing different roles but it sounds fragile. All the agents want to be coders. Not so different from people really.

This is more like. I have an agent that can do my calendar scheduling, accounting, maybe some research, organize my dvd collection type of thing without having to run that directly on your machine with your credentials etc. You set it up and ideally it just works without an "agent" running. It's all explicit in your system. And in this case, two mostly statically compiled binaries and a gutted container with libc. File access via sftp. stuff like that. VMs, firewalls, custom routing, custom dns the sky is the limit in terms of isolation.

Not sure I get it, but I am too tired today. I was up late giving my agent an impossible task. :-p I figured I should just see what it does when I give it that one application that I have been postponing because it is a company the size of Microsoft's worth of work.

lol wat? the weather?

IIRC we were chatting had something to do about printing news or weather reports or something? We were chatting about life without smartphones I think XD

oooh right! the little receipt printer for weather, news, crosswords, etc lol the personalized daily newspaper. yea maybe now's the time 😉
