Introducing Alloy, a local-first AI workbench app for macOS.
• Own your history & memory: plain text files you control.
• Orchestrate: parallel agents, swap models mid-thread.
• Flow: riff to co-create with an AI & triggers as proactive monitors.
No lock-in, BYO-keys. smus.com/alloy-local-...
my little agent orchestrator is growing up. just playing around with some names now. wdyt?

Built a NetHack-style roguelike and got an LLM to play it. LLMs are terrible at parsing ASCII maps. Solved it by converting FOV to explicit directions — "NEW: N, E" vs "VISITED: S" vs "BLOCKED: W". Once it knows what's novel vs explored, it actually navigates.
My e-ink tablet's handwriting recognition has a 27% error rate. So I benchmarked local VLMs against cloud models:
Claude Opus 4.5: 3% error, 6 seconds
qwen3-vl:8b (local): 5% error, 74 seconds
A 2% accuracy hit to keep my journal entirely on-device? I'll take that trade.

Search-fu failed to find the latter two drops
love that my TTS reader pronounces Xi (in Xi Jinping) as “roman eleven”. something very fitting about that

What is intelligence? It’s all chicken salad.
the question practically answers itself
How about “Soylent Green” instead? Or could do “Torment Nexus”

on whom?
The most fruitful moments for contemplation are often the least conducive to capture. So I built a way to capture from anywhere - watch, phone, or e-paper - all flowing to plaintext. The pursuit of frictionless capture
Now that Signal is out, I guess we'll have to do it in-person :(
Are radio stations? 🥺
how about instead, the government pays talented people to come to the US and contribute their amazing talent, grit, and creativity?
@nearestnabors.com great talk at cascadia—got a link to the slides?
I do my Claude codes at least two at a time. Is there polyphonic elevator music?
