pancsta··on Go on Embedded Systems and WebAssembly
It was good to meet at wasm.io!

TinyGo doesnt have networking in WASI[0] and the WASM websocket module[1] was last updated 5 years ago. Go without stdlib is not Go.

pancsta··on Claude Code Unpacked : A visual guide
You need state oriented programming to handle that. I know, because I made one. The keyword is „unpredictability”. Embrace nondeterminism.
pancsta··on DashPane – macOS window switcher, no account, no subscription, pure Swift
https://contexts.co/
pancsta··on Agent-to-agent pair programming
What if a search engine queried YOU? That’s the question (I guess).
pancsta··on A collection of 35 Golang Agent Skills
Nice cheatsheet.
pancsta··on Ask HN: When Will AI Disappear?
What’s AI?
pancsta··on Your phone is an entire computer
Not DEX but android containers (termux, proot, chroot) and soon android Terminal. DEX is just an alt android UI, and the discussion is about desktop OSes, sooo…
pancsta··on Ask HN: Is it time for "organic" coding?
Hybrid-coding, organic implies a complex cause-n-effect organism, not single a human with probabylistic search engine.
pancsta··on MCP Won't Solve Enterprise AI Integration (We're Missing a Layer)
Youre just missing workflows (agentic code) by trying to outsource everything to the model. MCPs are not workflows…
pancsta··on JSLinux Now Supports x86_64
WASM != JS (fortunately)
pancsta··on NiroDB – A key-value storage engine built from scratch in Go
Does it WASM? Does it multiread? Bbolt does neither of these…
pancsta··on Show HN: Web2cli – Every website is a Unix command
„Every website” == 6 websites. I like the table layout of the results tho.
pancsta··on Google just killed my project
Its laughable to think a corporation got inspired by this tiny extension for obvious chat features. Its just an overlap.
pancsta··on Microslop Manifesto
You should unslop your scroll, whats your strategy to fix half my viewport? I’ll tell you what it is - SLOP ;)
pancsta··on Claude Code LSP
For pytoy - maybe. Me personally, would love LSP-sourced completion in jetbrains. This dump bot suggests compile errors, APIs sucked out of thin air and other model-sourced nonsense. It does NOT read my code as I read and navigate code.

Id like LSP LLM in my IDE…

pancsta··on Actors: A Model of Concurrent Computation [pdf] (1985)
> It captures the nondeterminism in the order of delivery of communications. The Subsequent transition captures fairness arising from the guarantee of delivery. We provide a denotational semantics for our minimal actor language in terms of the transition relations.

Juicy paper, not to mention the declassification. It really reminds me of asyncmachine.dev which has actors, relations, transitions, and embraces non-determinism.

pancsta··on The preposterous notion of AI automating "repetitive" work
AI automates deterministic tasks, in a non-deterministic way. Repetitiveness just gives you a pipeline.
pancsta··on Mermaid ASCII: Render Mermaid diagrams in your terminal
And its in Go, so no package management joke involved. I will integrate it into my debugger, thx for the link!
pancsta··on Show HN: Golang Support for Playdate Handheld
It's the Go compiler, not LLVM (AFAIR). So greater compatibility, but only for ARM.
pancsta··on Ask HN: Anyone actually doing AI browser automation?
Workflow reproducibility with AI is tricky and needs an additional layer and a state machine. Im currently working on that, but for now all you can see is some tech demos and a bot https://ai-gents.work
pancsta··on Show HN: Golang Support for Playdate Handheld
Im curious, have you considered using tamago instead of tinygo? https://github.com/usbarmory/tamago
pancsta··on Nanolang: A tiny experimental language designed to be targeted by coding LLMs
> tiny … language designed to be targeted by coding LLMs

so like Go?

> Key Features; Prefix Notation

wow

NEXT!

pancsta··on I was a top 0.01% Cursor user, then switched to Claude Code 2.0
> I was a top 0.01%

wow

pancsta··on LWN is currently under the heaviest scraper attack seen yet
“Residential IP” sounds expensive though…
pancsta··on Install.md: A standard for LLM-executable installation
Lame.
pancsta··on LLMs are a 400-year-long confidence trick
You missed the point.

> Simply put, these companies have fallen for a confidence trick. They have built on centuries of received wisdom about the efficacy and reliability of computers, and have been drawn in by highly effective salespeople selling scarcely-believable technological wonders.

Calculators are ok, but LLMs are not calculators.

pancsta··on Ask HN: How do you automate your release notes?
Not related really, as you can (and should) publish BREAKING.md separately. Release notes should inform more about new stuff than the update process. Usually PRs have details, so release notes can be easily automated. Migrations, on the other hand…
pancsta··on GLX: A New Programming Language, Replacement for Bash and Other Shell
So like Ruby?
pancsta··on Gmail is entering the Gemini Era
> To help, we're bringing Gmail into the Gemini era and making it your personal, proactive inbox assistant.

Who asked for help anyway? Gmail should be Gmail, continuity is not innovation.
