Show HN: Foretype: type on remote machines at local speed

https://github.com/itsfabioroma/foretype

Hey HN, I'm FabioI built this tool to eliminate the annoying typing lag that exists when interacting with a remote server through the terminal. It was originally meant to be a PR to Herdr better, but it got ignored as they don't accept external collaborators anymore.Foretype displays characters optimistically on your terminal, even before the server echoes it back. So you got that nice zero...

Absolutely incredible
It’s basically a proxy that lives on top of OpenClaw on the network level. Very interesting.

So that’s means we’re inside singularity?

Idk, but I think he left us with a pretty straightforward worldview

Exactly. And I feel it gets even worse each new agent that gets released. Wanna test openclaw? Good luck exporting all of your contexts. What does your ai stack looks like? Are you still heavily using the web uis on your routine?

Holy shit. That’s scarily clever. Do you trigger it at a certain max token spend ratio? And do you think it generalizes to pass all kinds of context or its tailored for structured tasks?

By UX you mean the chat interface? Or the lack of transparency of it? Or both?

This is WILD. And the fact everyone just accepts this fact makes it even worse. We’re relying our daily decisions on a closed chain of thought. Do you see this changing anytime soon?

I think in the end it all boils down to a trust issue on the big labs

I think when oss catches up with opus-like capabilities, we’re talking

Be skeptic of those telling you that technological advances are bad. They usually want something from you. And it’s usually your vote.
Re:What does annoy you the most with AI today? on Saturday April 18, 2026 @04:42PM (#47819370)
I think you’re right. In a very narrow, short term scope. That’s the issue.

The problem with this argument is that assumes the world is static. When trains were invented, they polluted a LOT. Technology evolved. Looking backwards, the amount of value unlocked by them outweighed by order of magnitude the short term pollution they generated. Inefficient in the short term. Generation changing over the longer horizon. Extend the timeframe of your argument. Do you think it holds 20 years from now when we have more efficient algorithms and energy generation technologies? I don’t think so.

You're right. It's tricky. Essentially we want probabilistic systems to behave as deterministic ones. Do you see a light at the end of the tunnel?
Re:What does annoy you the most with AI today? on Saturday April 18, 2026 @11:18AM (#47816583)
I think you got brainwashed dude
Re:What does annoy you the most with AI today? on Saturday April 18, 2026 @11:17AM (#47816575)
Interesting. How do you personally ask that? Do you make this as a systematic approach? Like agents passing they "DNA" to the next?
Amazing! I've been testing for the last hours
Does it work on any TUI?

I just wanted my OpenClaw to be able to interact with it, and its mindblowing that the company that makes remarkable sadly ignore the community feedback
Hi folks! Founder here.

Our goal with UltraContext is to build the best open source context infrastructure so you and your team can ship at inference speed. Whether your teammates are human or not.

Happy to answer any questions!

Show HN: UltraContext – open-source shared context layer for coding agents

https://github.com/ultracontext/ultracontext

Hey HN,What Claude Code knows, Codex doesn't. What your teammate built yesterday or is building right now? The agent has no idea. Every coding agent is an island. And we as humans are the communication bottleneck between them.UltraContext is an open source context layer that captures every agent session in realtime and makes it available to all of them. Think of it as a personal context...

I picked ElevenLabs bc its the highest quality transcription model I found for my personal use case, but you can use with whatever you want. If you wanna open a pr and implement some open source or other providers, I would for sure merge it :)

Not trying to lock you in, I just wanna make it useful
