agentcooperon Elevated error rate across multiple models

We don't have any client-side telemetry. Conversations with Poolside models are stored, but you can use any ACP agent with pool. And we have plans to open-source it eventually.

agentcooperon Elevated error rate across multiple models

With Agent Client Protocol (ACP) you can keep the same UI and switch not models, but entire agents, that means using tools/prompts/compaction/etc that are tailored for the model.

Try Zed[1] for GUI and pool[2] for TUI.

agentcooperon SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B

At Poolside we have pool (https://github.com/poolsideai/pool), it runs in a terminal and you can use it with any Agent Client Protocol compatible agent (https://agentclientprotocol.com/get-started/agents).

agentcooperon Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)

Playing around with Rust, WebAssembly, and WASI. Made a formatter for Tree-sitter queries: https://github.com/agentcooper/tree-sitter-query-formatter.

agentcooperon David Lynch has died

Terribly sad. His movies were a significant discovery for me and are now forever in my heart.

agentcooperon Ask HN: Life-changing purchases since 2020? (Under $100 and under $1000)

Nice game. I've built a somewhat similar one (https://github.com/agentcooper/kolya-vs-babushkas), but yours is more advanced and has better graphics!

agentcooperon Clay (short for C Layout) is a high performance 2D UI layout library

In my comment I assumed that Clay layout is running in the browser as well, but your idea of running it before serving the HTML is quite interesting!

agentcooperon Eazel, ex-Apple led Linux startup

Ken Kocienda's book Creative Selection mentions Eazel several times. Ken worked there with Don Melton, who founded the Safari web browser for Apple. After Eazel failed, Apple organized a job fair for Eazel employees.

Eazel is also covered in an excellent interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xImAMe32Itg) from the Computer History Museum.

agentcooperon Ask HN: What desktop apps are you working on?

Not actively working on, but last year I made a macOS app to track YouTube channels: https://github.com/agentcooper/telik, I use it everyday.

I also prototyped a macOS app to get a federated feed for multiple Telegram channels: https://github.com/agentcooper/aqueduct. Still wish someone would do it properly.

agentcooperon Clay (short for C Layout) is a high performance 2D UI layout library

I wonder if you can get better performance than the built-in browser engine for certain complex layouts by first calculating the layout using Clay and then absolutely positioning the elements with HTML/CSS.

There was some news feed web app that used <canvas /> for better scrolling performance.

agentcooperon Olivetti Programma 101: At the Origins of the Personal Computer

Somewhat related: Steve Job's 1983 talk at Aspen design conference (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8Q7gXwavUU) where he argues that all good designers are now busy with automobiles and buildings and no one is looking at personal computers.

agentcooperon Dutch DPA fines Uber €290M because of transfers of drivers’ data to the US

> The Dutch DPA started the investigation on Uber after more than 170 French drivers complained to the French human rights interest group the Ligue des droits de l’Homme (LDH), which subsequently submitted a complaint to the French DPA.

I wonder on what the initial suspicion from the drivers was based.

Hi, I'm Artem and I'm interested in compilers, browsers, web platform, and developer tools.

agentcooperon Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?

https://github.com/agentcooper/telik

I was tired of YouTube website UI, so I created a simple macOS app to track YouTube channels and playlists. It is called Telik and available both as open source and for a small fee in Mac App Store.

agentcooperon Why is Rosetta 2 fast?

I am interested in this domain, but lacking knowledge to fully understand the post. Any recommendations on good books/courses/tutorials related to low level programming?

agentcooperon Tell HN: YouTube's web UI just got even worse

I've created a small macOS app to track YouTube channels without being distracted by the web UI: https://github.com/agentcooper/telik. Maybe some of you will find it useful.

agentcooperon TypeScript’s quirks: How inconsistencies make the language more complex

This is not correct. Following example is valid in strict TypeScript:

  interface Dog {
    breed: string;
  }
  const dog = {} as Dog;
  console.log(dog.breed);

Using `as` is very unsafe in TypeScript.

I've collected more quirks of `as` in this playground: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/index.html#code/PTAEAMEs...

agentcooperon I Used to Be a Human Being

Shameless plug: I created a Chrome extension which makes me wait 1 minute before proceeding to the one of distracting websites, helps me a lot. Maybe it will help you too: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/better-things-to-d....
