I Once Had A stupid Idea For A Product: The Electrobus (it will be ironic name trust me)

Basically It Is a Vehicle That is like a car but holds 1 person and is pedal powered (it is just for a signal to the wheels to be sent to move it doesnt move it by itself)

and likely with extension slots (things you plug onto it to get other features and this can be made by the community like usb but not that electric)

would it solve climate change

RT @ArchiveExplorer: DeepSeek hat die Coding-Agent-Branche praktisch überholt. deepseek-harness: Open-Source. Kostenlos. Der Top-Plan von Claude Code kostet 200 $ pro Monat. Was es leistet: → Alles ist ein Plugin – Model-Adapter, Tools, Session-Logs, sogar die Agent-Schleife selbst – alles über die Konfiguration austauschbar → Basiert auf Cordis, DeepSeeks eigenem Plugin-Laufzeitumgebung → Ein Befehl zum Starten: npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web – startet eine lokale Web-Benutzeroberfläche → Liefert echte Architektur-Dokumentationen sowie eine AGENTS.md, die von Agenten gelesen werden kann, um die Codebasis selbst zu verstehen → TypeScript, MIT-Lizenz, Entwickler-Vorschau – Änderungen sind zu erwarten, wie DeepSeek selbst sagt Was es ersetzt: → Anthropic's Claude Code → Geschlossene, einzelanbieter-dominierte Coding-Agent-Umgebungen im Allgemeinen Eine Forschungsfront hat gerade kostenlos die exakte Schicht freigegeben, für die Unternehmen ein Abo berechnen. → github.com/deepseek-ai/deeps… Archiv (@ArchiveExplorer) Artikel LOOP ⭢ GRAPH ⭢ HARNESS: Bauen Sie die gesamte Pipeline in einem Zug. Ihr Agent liest bei jedem Schritt das gesamte Tabellenkalkulationsdokument erneut. Die gesamte Codebasis. Das gesamte Dokument. Er findet etwas, vergisst es, findet es im nächsten Schritt wieder – und Sie bezahlen für diese Tokens zweimal, dreimal — https://nitter.net/ArchiveExplorer/status/2080621294979023358#m

RT @phosphenq: DeepSeek hat die Modelle, das Harness und das 88-seitige Papier veröffentlicht, dann aber jeden Forscher vor der Kamera ferngehalten. Dieser eine sprach 59 Minuten lang und erklärt, warum dein Agent umso dümmer wird, je länger du ihn laufen lässt. 19:04 - Agenten haben bereits die Grenze der Selbstverbesserung überschritten. 20:11 - Warum ein Agent seinen Ordner löschte. 29:45 - Warum Wiederholungen RL-Modelle verschlechtern. 41:05 - Wie sie den Kollaps des Reasonings maßen. 46:01 - Die Lösung, die das Training beschleunigte. Er war Mitautor von DeepSeek-V2 und veröffentlichte die Trainingsmethoden hinter R1. Schau es dir an, bevor es dasselbe Schicksal erleidet wie die vierstündige Rede des Gründers. Die Anleitung zum Harness findest du unten.

It is one thing to convince your friends to use XMPP, it is another to have them easily be able to sign up their friends too.

https://txw.ca/mod-signup-keyword/

This is a mod for ejabberd which allows in-band registration with a fixed pre-shared key. It replaces the standard mod_register.

So your friends can pass this PSK to their trusted friends, and they can sign up for an account, and pass it to their trusted friends.

An XMPP Client needs to surface a UI element for the PSK to be entered, and returned to the ejabberd server. I’ve tested it with my hobby client, Mach.

TIL about Walkable ASCII Cyberpunk City in One HTML File

Amazing, it works on light hardware too

Quotes

I wanted to build a city that feels alive, but is made entirely from ASCII characters.

This is a small custom engine built with JavaScript and Canvas — no Unity, Unreal, 3D models, textures, or shaders. The world is a grid-based city with roads, buildings, trees, cars, and pedestrians.

Every frame, the engine raycasts from the camera to work out perspective, depth, collisions, and what should be visible, then draws it all using letters, numbers, and symbols.

In other words: it’s a tiny 3D city made from blocks, viewed through a screen of ASCII characters.

Still a work in progress, but I’m going to keep pushing the atmosphere, detail, and interaction further.
