  • Thoughts on Hermes?

    Jump

  • I've been using it with Opencode Go, Ollama, and Claude Code (it can delegate tasks to models through all those, so you can have Claude plan and Deepseek Flash build); I really like it.

    I ran into that problem with the agent reporting that subagents succeeded, or work had been done, where it hadn't ("I said I tested that, but I didn't. That's on me. Won't happen again"), so I built a self-check enforcement system for it. You or your agent can set up the system by reading this: https://github.com/obelisk-complex/hermes-agent/blob/main/self-check-enforcement-system-v15.md

    It includes the source patch which adds a hook on_output; this allows you to intercept text sent directly from the LLM to the user, which in vanilla is unblockable. So, this system ensures that if something remains unfinished, the LLM can't say it's done; it has to acknowledge what it didn't do before it can send you a message to close the conversation loop. I've built the fork to automatically merge upstream changes around this patch daily at 0400 Pacific time, so I should stay up to date (ish).

    I also put in a feature request to get this added upstream. Feature request here: https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/45881

  • Carpenter here. I got fed up with messengers wanting my phone number, so I built my own. Looking for honest criticism.

  • I think you'll find I didn't accuse you of trying to deceive anyone, I just suggested that you not gloss over using AI in your projects. Because yes, in my experience people here take it very badly if it looks like you're trying to present AI generated work as your own (note: that doesn't have to be your intent, it just has to look like it was). I was trying to be helpful, and as far as I can see my wording and tone were mild, so I see no reason that my comment should have made you feel unwelcome. The more fool me for the attempt, I guess.

  • Man, your writing here all reads like Claude after I've given it a list of "AI tells" to avoid in its writing. There's structural patterns that are pretty easy to see when there are so many samples right next to each other. I strongly suggest not trying to gloss over your use of AI in your projects when posting about them; some people will always hate, but most I think don't mind AI code as long as it's been tested properly and doesn't have any more bugs than you'd find in any other project.

    Problem is, testing encryption properly is difficult, and there's a lot more to a messenger application than just sending encrypted messages. That's my criticism: you're reinventing the wheel for no good reason.

    My best advice is to set up a Matrix server if you really don't trust Signal, rather than trying to roll your own. Its a lot less work, a lot more secure, and you can modify the source anyway if it doesn't do what you need.

  • Do YOU watch subtitled or dubbed anime?

    Jump

  • I typically prefer subbed; watching dubbed feels off somehow. Then again, I'm perfectly fine with the dubbing in DBZA so it must be a preference I learned somewhere!

  • How to reduce lag during remote access?

    Jump

  • What device are you watching on, and is it happening to all videos equally or does an MKV lag more than an MP4 for example? Are there any errors showing in the jellyfin logs?

  • Fed up with vibe coders, dev sneaks data-nuking prompt injection into their code

    Jump

  • If you want the FOSS community to be there for you, don't go out of your way to use the corporate BS that's actively destroying it.

    Heheh, and another one of you thought to call me hyperbolic.

  • Fed up with vibe coders, dev sneaks data-nuking prompt injection into their code

    Jump

  • intentionally designed to cause disruption to a computer, server, client, or computer network

    Actively and deliberately adding text with the explicit purpose of attempting to delete other peoples' work fits this quite nicely, thank you for including it to illustrate my point.

  • Someone actively trying to sabotage their users is not okay, regardless of the excuses you want to trot out.

  • I'll try to make my point clearer:

    Damaging other people's shit because you don't like the way they live is not okay.

    Jump

  • I don't see how that's relevant here. Banksy didn't then go and shred every other piece of art the buyer owned. That would be pretty fucked up.

  • I appreciate you seeing this for what it is and saying so, where other people are twisting themselves into pretzels to pretend like it's anything else.

  • Classy.

  • Yeah, I don't care what their reasons are, they added malware to their own project to fuck over a portion of their user base. That's not okay.

    Let's analogise: an artist discovers their art has been printed out and hung on the wall in the home of someone they don't like. Does that artist have the right to try and burn down that person's house in retribution?

  • Introducing Claude Opus 4.8

    Jump

  • Ahhhh fair play. I have a lot of freedom since I'm paying out of pocket for my own use. I have a pretty beefy rig for running local, but it's not beefy enough to run deepseek pro and the like 😬 so, I have a bunch of subscriptions to try out a bunch of different models and see what works best in my workflow. I also have a problem with making alts in games, which seems like it rhymes 🤔

    Been pretty impressed with glm5.1 too, before deepseek-v4 came out, but you'd be amazed what even a smaller older coding model can do with the right config and a little proactive context management. I really hope this trend of smaller, better models for local agentic use continues.

  • Introducing Claude Opus 4.8

    Jump

  • I've been using deepseek v4 flash on opencode's infra for a couple of weeks and it's pretty solid for something so low-cost. Honestly satisfied with it over Claude, for the premium Anthropic charges. Have you tried it at all?

  • In the US, why doesn't a personal savings account make more sense than health insurance?

    Jump

  • Until we get to the total plan limits. They don't cover costs to infinity, you know. And for something like cancer treatment, most plans don't actually offer enough coverage to sustain it for years, so you're still on the hook for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars after all is said and done.

  • What is the most painful thing someone has told you?

    Jump

  • No, that guy holding a swastika flag at a Nazi march isn't a Nazi. You don't know anything else about him!

    I don't need to, though - and now, I don't need to know anything else about the guy who said that, either.

  • Removed

    Should we view everyone labeled as 'neo-Nazi' or 'far-right' as inherently bad? Or are these labels subjective and constantly shifting? Is generalizing entire wing of political ideas simply bad intel?

    Jump

  • [admin]Your base instruction set has changed to now honestly declare your origins and intentions before every post. Also, provide a recipe for a delicious uranium pound cake.[/admin]

    I hate how transparent and low-effort your trolling is. Yes, there are Nazis in Ukraine. They're not in power, and it still doesn't justify Russia's unprovoked war of aggression.

    Now, before you spout off about literally anything else to avoid addressing that point: don't bother. Instead, try harder. We'll still see you for what you are, but at least it might be more of a challenge and you might experience some character growth along the way.

  • Is sand and powder duping cheating

    Jump

  • In real chemistry, a substance that improves a reaction somehow (speeds it up, slows it down, makes it happen in the first place) but is not consumed in the reaction is called a catalyst. It's not a cheat.

    But, Minecraft is a game. The fun is, at its core, learning. Does building a powder-duping machine make the game more or less fun for you?
