Thanks, I want to add https://www.arraycast.com/2025/01/04/Decker.html which introduced me to it. I wish more people had exposure to q/k/apl and think this is a great way to do it.

I think this is the first time I've seen this hit #1 which is nice


Thanks for that audio link. We've added it to the header of this thread, though you'd be welcome to submit it as its own post, perhaps in a few months (to allow time for it to feel fresh again once this thread has vacated the community's memory cache).

Wow thanks for pointing this out! This is actually what I was hoping would happen when the deepspec stuff dropped! And having zlab create these confirms my bias that I think open models are the way.


Yeah I'm with you, this feels like a case for assertions & not a new core feature. Perhaps I'm missing something because it was promoted by Michael Fogus and has been ratified by those who would know (Alex I'm assuming). To me it doesn't pass the test of necessity as something needed at the core but at least it feels somewhat ideomatic.


For me it solves a real issue, a lot of the code that I work on looks like this:

  (defn foo [{:keys [a b c] :or {a 1}]
    {:pre [(some? b) (some? c]}
     .....

having `:keys!` will automatically remove the need for `:pre`


This is a pretty harsh critique, while I see the agent related markdown the application seems measured and well applied. Hardly seems like slop; it's might be a one man show+ai agent but the direction and project composition feel like it's something that's logical and manageable.

I personally like the idea even as a p.o.c (inline with bellards work). I'd like to see how nostr & cloudflare workers providing out of band ops on what is effectively a container per tab.


I don't think that guesstimating that something is an AI slop is very harsh these days. It sure has the signs of one:

- HN User created 66 days ago

- In these 66 days it submitted 4 stories about this project

- The heavy lifting is all done by v86 project (not jslinux as initially suspected)

- The project is a "rebrand/fork" from another project by the same author - "traits.build".

- In the original project, the first commits that mention v86 seem to start at around 23rd of April.

To be clear, I don't really mind people vibing & slopping around. I just would want to have a disclosure about it.


Show dead and you see 23 posts about this exact same thing which gives me pause and makes me wonder, did this guy really post this 23 times?

Why? Or is there some program setup on a loop?

Either way,a legit Linux shell in a browser would be kinda powerful and even if this one isn't legit, Im intrested in adjacent projects...for instance this may be the only way to get a shell in a usable shell on iphone which would be neat and useful


i did. i am trying to get some traction on the project to hopefully collaborate on the development in the community.


thank you for this interesting analysis. however, i do disclose that it's agentic coding in yolo mode on my github page.


thank you!


If you're looking to use this with the community edition I would recommend reading through https://dataintellect.com/blog/running-torq-with-kdb-x-commu... as they outline some of the factors that need consideration.

I really do love what kdb is doing but I think maybe they lost too much momentum (and confidence) when back flipping on previous agreements for the community editions. (Which I don't think they will again with the kdb-x releases as they have a good balance this time) It would have been nice to see torqx just work (tm)


Redacting "I noticed that a kernel level impl is only 9000 loc (shallow dive https://lwn.net/Articles/1029851/). As it doesn't fully implement the feature set.

Also I noticed that Plan 9's IL protocol (avoids head of line because the type of messaging it's used for) another point pointed out in the x comments.

I wonder if he's focusing on consumer distributed AI inference (due to quic being browser supported) or maybe just a comment on the protocol in general.


This is great! I feel the same way about the deepseek v4 architecture for commodity hardware.

Also have enjoyed playing with https://huggingface.co/HuggingFaceTB/nanowhale-100m-base (but early days for me understanding this space)


Very cool! I had no idea that HF was doing this - I really love their small model experiments.


This is the kind of clojure port that I always was looking for. Mostly because I thought go's core library and channels abstractions hits a simpler/nicer base API which would with the core & async apis (not to mention scratches my big beautiful binary itch)

Thanks for your work will definitely check it out again once I get over renewed love for cpp (26)

Edit how did glojure go under my radar also a great project from the looks


I have played with the idea of making a “old school PHP” style DSL that takes advantage of the Go runtime and packages under the cover. I say old school PHP because PHP used to be a web focused DSL its no longer the case, I feel like it would make for an interesting easy to use backend language similar to PHP but with the full power of Go behind it. Clojure is an excellent choice.


Thanks for kind words! Please don't forget to drop me an issue or two when you eventually get to it :)


Ah this reminds me of my favorite stack which I never got to actually work with; luvit.io (libuv with luajit; both hot items at the time).

I hope this becomes a thing, typing in lua might make it easier to scale for teams (which I think is always an issue with dynamic language)

I really should check up on what Mr Caswell is up to. He was quite inspiring with both his diy home improvements as well as activity in the development space.


He really did create a lot of cool stuff. It’s inspiring to see how much one person can create.


While I haven't read all the posts here I was wondering if anyone also noticed a 10% usage before their most recent weeks usage even started? (Specifically over 2026-03-27/28) I was seeing weird service outages over this time too. I suspect they're not being 100% truthful with how they are recording usage (feels like they had an agent run a backfill approximation). So they blur it with weekends rates etc.

Anyways I don't have the knowledge as to how to audit this (claud pro) to confirm what feels like an onboard at any cost business behavior.

Is anyone currently auditing through openrouter/litellm and seeing any poor correlation to the session/weekly limit?
