Ahh I see. I'm doing it per repo. This is distributed.

I once tried to teach an agent to have a 'pain reflex' and save memory. The experiment failed horribly.

Interesting. I have hypothesis that markdown in repo is better.

Summary? Is it "markdown as memory"?

And sanitizing via the LLM never really works.
Devs Deserve PII Protection from Agents
Your company is GDPR compliant."Here's your company MacBook. Its name is first-last-comp-dept. User name is first.last. Go be a productive dev”Then you deployed coding agents."We have a DPA from Google. Use Gemini coding agent and be a more productive dev!"Your full name is now always in agent context. Your full name is sent to USA datacenters.Devs deserve PII protection too.

Yes, the repo name has two n’s (`phpcoinn`) - phpcoin was already taken, so they added an extra n. Not a typo :)

I recently found PHPCoin, a blockchain written entirely in PHP. A niche project!
Repo: https://github.com/phpcoinn/node
Website: https://phpcoin.net
- A real, live L1 chain, with a small but active dev team
- Supports smart contracts, dapps, and web apps
- Readable and hackable PHP code

"It works. That's annoying." Indeed!
Would be cooler if support for local llms was added. Currently only has support for anthropic and openai. https://github.com/samrolken/nokode/blob/main/src/config/ind...

See the spread-the-word script in https://github.com/attogram/bash-screensavers/tree/main/spot...
This script generates a series of shell commands to create a "spotlight" message on the main GitHub repository page. It does this by generating commands that make trivial changes to the top 12 files and directories and then commit those changes with custom messages.

First, why no support for local models?
Second, the emojis in the readme scream AI generated more than any emdash ever could.

Sorry, but I see nothing about parasitic AIs here. Just lots of stuff about prompt engineering combined with unstable humans.
