On Input: The Allowlist

Information is infinite, attention isn't. Four inputs worth taking: what you love, what serves your data, what sits outside your cognition, and health — where no amount of planning beats action.

Self-Evolution Is a Data Problem

Everyone wants agents that improve themselves. The blocker isn't intelligence — it's data. Observability first, a centralized fleet second, the agent last.

FDE: The Job Is the Gaps

Confirm the requirement, build on the product, deliver. Accurate and useless — the real work is extracting specs nobody can state, winning access, and shipping evidence instead of demos.

Agent Harness Turns Development into Executable Patterns

Agent harnesses are not just multi-agent wrappers. They route context, package workflow skills, expose project-specific tools, and use traces as the feedback surface for improvement.

Game theory as a learning lens, not an arithmetic class

A learning-oriented distillation of game theory resources: Schelling, Yale, Model Thinking, Game Theory 101, and evolutionary games. The point is not memorizing formulas, but learning to see constraints, commitments, types, and feedback.

Minimum Viable tmux

The tmux man page is 4,000 lines. The part you need is about six — four commands and one prefix key — plus the payoff I didn't expect: coding agents read your panes too.

The Memory Stack

Agent memory isn't a switch you flip. It's a four-layer stack: a provider, a policy MCP, the laws you write, the router you fork.

What I'd Steal From Hermes for the Next Orbit

Orbit was my first stateful agent harness — scout, router, hunter, verifier, all reading from a tasks.json. It was the right shape for bug-hunting. For UI audits, it isn't enough. Reading Hermes this week, I saw the ceiling: a platform where taste compounds across sessions.

Fixing AI Slop in the 80%

Pareto applies to code: 20% is skeleton, 80% is garbage. Backend garbage is tractable — you can verify it. UI garbage is where AI slop lives, because taste isn't testable. One concrete move against it: stop screenshotting competitors. Record them.

On Poker: Betting Under Uncertainty

Why Texas Hold'em feels closer to real life than chess: every hand is fast, every decision is incomplete, and you have to balance cold probability with the courage to gamble.

让 7 个 AI Agent 同时修 Bug,我发现了人类不可替代的原因

AI Agent 能写代码,但不能思考'自己在想什么'。我搭了一套编排系统,把它们推到了极限——然后撞上了天花板。

I Sent 7 AI Agents to Fix Bugs Across 3 Repos. Here's What Broke.

AI agents can write code. But they can't think about thinking. I built an orchestration system to push them further — and found the ceiling.

Building an LLM Agent to Play Dwarf Fortress

Not because it's hard. Because it's abstract. How we wired an LLM to control Dwarf Fortress via DFHack — and got Phase 1 to actually run.

Clawdbot: Building My AI Companion from Scratch

How I set up a self-hosted AI agent that actually remembers me, checks my health data, and automates my boring tasks.
