this is cool, I used to work in ag robotics and understand the economics require bravery, and loads of project finance eventually?

one thing: the fish cursor on the site is frustrating pls allow disabling.

reality_inspctr commented on Show HN: MailPilot – Freedom to go anywhere while your agents work    · Posted by u/keepamovin

This is a great setup. I was building agents in 2023 with email addresses, and it was very effective for onboarding tech laggards to generative AI. It also resulted in very low durable use rates. Users would onboard then stop using quickly. Christenson ftw again.

One thing that can be handled much better today than back then was MIME / attachment types and having agents assemble "fancy" email structures irt.

Yes, the difference is that tallow is solid at room temperature, so great for preservation. I was planning on making pemmican with it, but slicing, drying, and pulverizing hundreds of tiny strips of meat seemed like a lot of work.

pemmican is pretty easy to make if you modify to a ground texture, grind the meat, and accept that it's not "traditional" and refrigerate it
reality_inspctr commented on During Helene, I just wanted a plain text website   sparkbox.com/foundry/hele... · Posted by u/CqtGLRGcukpy
reality_inspctr · 2 months ago
nice work. dealt with same issue during helene. would be interesting to do things like convert to morse code or convert to modem-over-walkie low baud rate.

I built this repo as a Helene response repo, trying to use an llm to help get resources over text message. https://github.com/realityinspector/supply_drop_ai

wonder if you could get to news over sms, use an llm to compress to minimum viable text?

I know this is a big request, but lately I've been using LLMs to quickly draft and showcase architecture decision. I mainly fallback to mermaid, but I am curious if d2 would be more flexible? I usually endup visualizing anyway with drawio. I am curious if there are plans on creating a more user friendly interface (mcp, or tool calling feature) with llms.

I would be interested in this as well, but would love it to be more like openapi protocol, with an agents.md.

Some interesting concepts:

- Components: https://hyperflask.dev/guides/components/ - Bundling view and controller in the same file: https://hyperflask.dev/guides/interactive-apps/

I think these may be footguns though. Components for example are just a regular macros under the hood. Why not use macros then?

I'm also curious about the choice of Flask. I started with a similar approach for /dev/push [1], but ended up moving to FastAPI + Jinja2 + Alpine.js + HTMX once I figured out FastAPI wasn't just for APIs. I wanted proper async support. I love Flask, but don't you find it limiting?

reality_inspctr · 5 months ago
yeah fastapi + htmx is very effective.

Hello, author of hyperflask here. I'm happy to finally announce this project as I've been working on it for quite some time.

I made an announcement post here: https://hyperflask.dev/blog/2025/10/14/launch-annoncement/

I love to hear feedback!

reality_inspctr · 5 months ago
excited to try out. flask <> coding agents work really well together.
