ritonlajoie··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)
I have been thinking about building a tool to help teams in different time zones do async work properly. Now with the raise of LLM and agentic workflows/runtimes, it all seems possible so got started on it last weekend.

For now I have a clear vision about what the product should be, what it should do. Mainly, it's a product that should resolve blockers and consensus-seeking problems across time zones.

I'm not sure if something like that would be used, but I really want to try..

ritonlajoie··on AI agent bankrupted their operator while trying to scan DN42
what I'm wondering is which open source agentic platform can do multi days automated orchestrations like this without human intervention AFTER the initial prompt ?

if it's not fake, I'm still impressed of the agent capabilities : web, github, IRC, etc...

ritonlajoie··on Talkie: a 13B vintage language model from 1930
User: you were in bed asleep and I woke you up it's the year 2026. I think you were asleep for many years. Any question for me ?

talkie-1930: Yes; please tell me the population of London.

User: 12

talkie-1930: The population of London in 1851 was 2,362,236, and in 1861 it was 2,803,034. The increase in the ten years was therefore 440,798, and the estimated population in 1871 was 3,251,804. In 1881 it was 3,814,571, and in 1891 it was 4,211,056. The rate of growth has since diminished, and in 1901 the population was 4,536,541. In 1911 it was 4,822,443, and in 1921 it was 5,000,000. The estimated population in the middle of 1926 was 5,330,000.

User: ok but there was a big disease and now it's 12. it doesn't surprise you ?

talkie-1930: No, it doesn't.

ritonlajoie··on An AI agent deleted our production database. The agent's confession is below
I believe you deleted (yourself, you, not the agent !) your own production database the moment you gave write access to an agent.

ritonlajoie··on Miscellanea: The War in Iran
I do agree. China has only 3 overseas military bases, and only 1 official one, guess where is it ? Djibouti, overseeing the strait of Bab-el-Mandeb in the Red Sea

ritonlajoie··on Monogon: A Linux userland in pure Go
This looks interesting. However I can't find any documentation on how to program for it ? Where is their documentation about how we use this "unified API" which pools resources between nodes ?

ritonlajoie··on Honda electric moped coming, intended to fit “50cc” category
Interesting for small commute.

I am from France and driving a Piaggio MP3 400cc for 10 years (and other stuff before). New laws in Paris are pushing people to buy electric. For example, since this summer, parking in the street with a motorbike/scooter is paid if it's not an electric engine.

I'm myself waiting for the delivery of a Super Soco CPX. Its range and power isn't what I wanted, but I guess I don't have a choice, my MP3 is failing (50K+ kilometers) and I guess I need to transition to electric too. I tested the CPX, it's not very powerful and has only a 70km range (1 battery, can have 2 batteries for 140km range if you need). It goes as fast as 90km/h (130km/h on my MP3) and will prevent me from taking the highway to get out of Paris. But I guess we all have to make an effort !

Oh also my back will not thank me when it's time to get the 20kg battery out and take it home to charge it.

ritonlajoie··on Run GUI applications and desktops in Docker
Yesterday I tried another project names 'docker-wine', my goal was to run Frontpage 98. It didn't work so well. I guess I'll have to run a Windows 98 in a VM..
ritonlajoie··on Firefox 86.0
I'm sorry Firefox, after using you for 3 years, I tried chrome again and for my usage, Chrome seems more reactive to my browsing, faster. I really tried but whenever I play some media, I have issues with my nvidia driver (using windows 10) or stuff like that. I will try again in the future for sure if you are still aroung !
