This was the tag 😱 Time to look into ways to prevent my local dev agent from interacting with anything or anyone outside it's own repos.06 Aug 2026 04:39 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3msf7x77nwc2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/joshooaj.com/post/3mrra2oaugc24I did a test run of an agent I generated from a distilled, "cliff notes" amalgamation of Building a Second Brain, The PARA Method, the OKF 0.2 spec, and the Karpathy LLM-wiki concept, and gave it a copy of my Obsidian notebook to populate a new PARA notebook with. It accidentally deleted everything.29 Jul 2026 05:48 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrra2oaugc24https://bsky.app/profile/joshooaj.com/post/3mrqzvjvlik24If you could turn one book you own into an interactive agent you could ask questions or use to improve your life in a meaningful way, what would it be? I built an agent and set of skills from Building a Second Brain /PARA method which I then merged with the OKF spec and LLM-wiki concept.29 Jul 2026 03:58 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrqzvjvlik24https://bsky.app/profile/joshooaj.com/post/3mrn5jee27c2jI've been using an LLM memory / wiki tool built around the principles Karpathy shares here where you use the OKF markdown bundle structure as the substrate for a knowledge graph, and then expose very simple query/update/add methods for creating and maintaining that graph. https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f27 Jul 2026 14:52 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrn5jee27c2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/joshooaj.com/post/3mrjvcz2sw22jI've been having fun tinkering with running AI models locally and learning how to squeeze as much value out of my low-end hardware as possible. Until now I've only really been using opencode and hermes for text generation & coding. I finally got around to getting vision working and I'm delighted!26 Jul 2026 07:47 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrjvcz2sw22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/joshooaj.com/post/3mqg2xpr5lc2pI discovered the joy and pain of 010 Editor Templates while working on parsing XProtect media database BLK files and just about have a general purpose template for video & audio BLK files. But I really don't care for the proprietary syntax that lacks a CLI tool that works on a headless terminal. https://www.sweetscape.com/010editor/manual/IntroTempScripts.htm12 Jul 2026 01:52 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqg2xpr5lc2phttps://bsky.app/profile/joshooaj.com/post/3ml5nnpncfc2kGlad to see #oshkosh city council and PD listening to their constituents and cancelling the Flock license plate camera service renewal. https://public.destinyhosted.com/agenda_publish.cfm?id=67456&mt=ALL&get_month=4&get_year=2026&dsp=ag&seq=20706 May 2026 02:27 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml5nnpncfc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/joshooaj.com/post/3mjxunfondk2qThanks to cutting-edge #copilot technology I can, for the first time ever, automatically accept meeting requests from my boss. It's incredible what we can do now thanks entirely to nondeterministic ai models which we would never use to solve problems that were already solvable in the 90's.21 Apr 2026 01:51 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjxunfondk2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/joshooaj.com/post/3mi5kzvc54s27If you like audio #books, but don't want to support #Audible, I only just learned about @libro.fm. A portion of your purchases go to the local bookseller you designate, and you can download your books without DRM ❤ https://libro.fm/referral?rf_code=lfm112003728 Mar 2026 21:24 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3mi5kzvc54s27https://bsky.app/profile/joshooaj.com/post/3mhxzfdckns2bSometimes I wish password fields had a "close enough" feature. Something like... "You clearly know what your password is. The probability of being THAT close on the first try and NOT knowing it is astronomical. You may pass." (yeah yeah hashing makes this impossible and that's a good thing)26 Mar 2026 16:25 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhxzfdckns2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/joshooaj.com/post/3mgztx2ke2s2aKia's Lane Keep Assist feature has this funny rule where if it can't detect your hands on the wheel it will eventually just turn off. They don't want people using it for "autopilot". I get that. But is shutting off the only thing keeping the car on the road the right move?14 Mar 2026 16:28 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgztx2ke2s2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/joshooaj.com/post/3mgqwqqrtj22m*sigh* No #Nvidia, I'm not logging in to your annoying desktop app to check for a driver update. I guess I'll just go find it on your website where I sure hope I won't be faced with a login prompt for a driver...11 Mar 2026 03:24 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgqwqqrtj22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/joshooaj.com/post/3mg6e45s3ec25People keep personifying LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude, and I find myself imagining these models are like Bob in the "We Are Legion (We Are Bob)" book / Bobiverse series. Not sure if coincidence but also Robert (Bob) Daly in Black Mirror USS Callister episodes has digital clone enslaved in game.03 Mar 2026 18:03 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg6e45s3ec25https://bsky.app/profile/joshooaj.com/post/3mfbfazxxtc2sI love that the username portion of the fake people in this anti-phishing email I just got are "LMAO" and "ROFL"20 Feb 2026 05:36 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfbfazxxtc2shttps://bsky.app/profile/joshooaj.com/post/3mfavotgnps2lThank you. I've been saying the same thing, just not as loudly lol... Filling your repo with markdown files with detailed instructions for all the things you want your coding agent to do well is exactly the kind of thing we should have been doing to ensure human developers could code well all along [contains quote post or other embedded content]20 Feb 2026 00:57 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfavotgnps2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/joshooaj.com/post/3mepcv5v46k2cI just rediscovered a little #powershell module I wrote a few years ago. I originally wrote it for reading/writing from interactive processes like netsh but it comes in handy for kicking off installers and streaming their stdout too. https://www.joshooaj.com/BGProcess/13 Feb 2026 01:06 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3mepcv5v46k2chttps://bsky.app/profile/joshooaj.com/post/3medhdo5ni223A recruitment ad for CBP / Immigration and Customs Enforcement showed up in my LinkedIn feed this evening. So I did my duty and reported the dangerous extremist organization. Promoting such hateful and violent extremists is against their ToS after all. #abolishice08 Feb 2026 07:54 +0000at://did:plc:a3yierchgwp2lvyontsragui/app.bsky.feed.post/3medhdo5ni223
