Heh fair enough. I conflated the UNIX shell and command line as a general concept.

If anything a CLU, a Command Line Utility would be the best thing to call the small programs that both van be run as one offs from the command line and have their output piped to other Command Line Utilities... I don't know why the term isn't being used more. CLU keep it simple. CLIs are a catch all from every single CLU up to MidnightCommander, Zork, Mosh, and OpenCode.

Something tells me GPG would be great for this concept, but it's probably not as accessible as to get people to paste a JSON somewhere.

To the average person ab public key is about as comprehensible as JSON.

True but it does say something that such a script was able to lie dormant for so long.

Why would anyone test in production???!!!

Slop. The illustrations are bad, the article is way too long, and none of it has a clear point.

It's sucrose to being a good sweet article. Really though it should be used as a draft for something that wasn't just vibed. Eg fix the mice and loose the sparks from cutting wood.

LLM harness has been in vogue for a year now…

outofpaper · 18 days ago

A harness is a collection of stubs and drivers configured to assist with automation or testing. It's a standard term often used in QA as they've been automating things for ages before Gen Ai came on to the scene.

Sometimes I will go out and I will plant a pepper plant and take care of it all summer long and obsessively ensure it has precisely the right amount of water and compost and so on... and ... for some reason (maybe I was on vacation and it got over 105 degrees?) I don't get a good crop.

Does this mean I should not garden because it's a variable reward? Of course not.

Sometimes I will go out fishing and I won't catch a damn thing. Should I stop fishing?

Obviously no.

So what's the difference? What is the precise mechanism here that you're pointing at? Because sometimes life is disappointing is a reason to do nothing. And yet.

??? I'm pretty sure you know what the differences are. Go touch grass and tell me it's the same as looking at a plant on a screen.

Dealing with organic and natural systems will, most of the time, have a variable reward. The real issue comes from systems and services designed to only be accessible through intermittent variable rewards.

Oh, and don't confuse Claude's artifacts working most of the time with them actually optimizing to be that way. They're optimizing to ensure token usage. I.E. LLMs have been fine-tuned to default to verbose responses. They are impressive to less experienced developers, often easier to detect certain types of errors (eg. Improper typing), and will make you use more tokens.

Considering you have built them all in last few weeks, it should not be that difficult and no reason other systems won't reuse same.

outofpaper · a month ago

Exactly! The whole point of personal agents is that the data is yours and it's where you want it not in someone's cloud. What harness you use to work with this should be a matter of preference and not one of lock in.

Google gave us Wave - surely that's enough? /s

Lol it aas an admirable attempt at something new. I loved the interesting blend of messaging and document creation. It the code still lives on as an archived open project btw.

Yes but OpenClaw (which is a terrible name for other reasons) doesn't have "local" in the name and so is not misleading.

outofpaper · a month ago

As misleading. Lots of their marketing push or at least thr ClawBros pitch it as running local on your MacMini.

Yes this is not local first, the name is bad.

outofpaper · a month ago

Horrible. Just because you have code that runs not in a browser doesn't mean you have something that's local. This goes double when the code requires API calls. Your net goes down and this stuff does nothing.
