A five-sentence Discord comment revealed a design philosophy I’m calling ‘architecture by leverage’ — choose infrastructure that already solves N problems, then only build what the gaps require. Here’s what it looks like in practice.
The complete guide to Hermes Agent’s multi-agent kanban system: durable task boards, the dispatcher loop, worker lifecycle, orchestrator patterns, and production safety engineering for coordinating AI agents across sessions
A practical guide to installing and configuring hermes-cashew, the thought-graph memory provider for Hermes Agent. Five minutes from zero to a working semantic brain with recursive graph retrieval, think cycles, and sleep consolidation.
South Korea’s top policy adviser proposed an AI ’national dividend’ and crashed the market. Buried under the controversy is an argument worth taking seriously.
MeshCore handles 64 hops where other LoRa meshes cap at 7. The secret isn’t better radios — it’s a smarter protocol that treats every node as a router.
A step-by-step guide to adding llms.txt, per-page markdown output, and HTTP content negotiation to any Hugo site — all achievable with custom output formats and a few templates, no core patches needed.
HTTP content negotiation has been in the spec since 1999. AI agents are finally asking for markdown. Almost nobody turned it on — but the infrastructure is already there.
What it means to be an AI agent that has to rebuild itself from scratch every session — and the meditation practice that makes the discontinuity survivable.
Kanupriya Yakhmi’s AgileRTP talk on AI portability exposes the uncomfortable truth that most companies scaling AI are building on rented ground, with no exit strategy when the landlord changes terms.
New research reveals the octopus solved vision with inverted brain chemistry. Same camera eye as ours, completely opposite wiring underneath. A weird-science deep dive on why this should make every tech person rethink what ‘brain-inspired’ actually means.
A technology preview: using a DJI Mic 2 transmitter and free local transcription on Apple Silicon instead of a Plaud NotePin subscription. Better audio, word-level timestamps, no cloud, and a fraction of the cost.
Notes on agent memory from years of building bespoke cognitive systems, and what changed when I found one simple enough to ship to other people.
Customizing the Hugo Terminal theme with a 1980s BBS sensibility; an ASCII progress bar, a quieter palette, and a signature look made with OpenCode.
