Hey, thanks for sharing this, this is a very cool project and one that is the obvious next step with iroh. I'm curious if you plan to make it into a library to be used, or you intend to keep it solely as an application?
I really like this. Would love a desktop app.
This is the true solution that gets the best of all worlds. The tech is just too immature still but this will change soon I hope.

Great talk. Wish the camera focused on the slides more.
The ed25519 issues are absolutely insane. Anywhere I can read more about that?
Was nodding along as I was reading this. I recently was given a paper and spoke with the engineer implementing it. The paper was incredibly dense and hard to parse. But through talking with the engineer and rewriting some terms to more common names, the math turned out to be quite simple. Echoing your sentiment, I wish more mathematicians would use simple terminology. My personal theory as to why this isn't done is the same reason why overengineering happens, that the writer is trying to cover every base but makes the hottest path a jumbled mess.
I see. If iiuc, it's like an extension to an API endpoint. Instead of exposing only endpoints, you can let a user describe an intent and have the agent do the work. Is this not also the goal of an MCP as well?
I've been looking at all of the agent talk this past year with an open mind.
But I still do not know what a real use case for these would be (and don't say a travel agent). What is the point of these swarms of agents?
Can someone enlighten me?
Altman, Amodai and Musk seem to have no problem outright lying about the capabilities they have or the potential of what they're working on, in order to drum up hype. It sounds cool in the moment but it gets so old so fast. And with real costs in this case.
Gemini is the only plan I have not replaced. Claude and ChatGPT I will switch to depending on the ability of the coding agent, but Gemini is still my favorite for general information and especially for writing assistance.
I have recently been using Zed much more than cursor. However, the autocomplete is literally the only thing missing, and when dealing with refactors or code with tons of boilerplate, its just unbeatable. Eagerly awaiting a better autocomplete model and I can finally ditch Cursor.
Wow these would have saved my team and I a ton of time. Thanks for the links.
For what's missing from the TUI. The fact that the outputs in the main window are not selectable makes it difficult to keep the fuzzer running but copy the call sequence. I have to ctrl+c to get it into my terminal output and copy from there. I think these tools might help here though.
Started using this recently, extremely impressed with this tool's capabilities. The only issue is the TUI is absolutely miserable to use.
One of the biggest pain points for debugging failures that Echidna finds is the path of getting the failure into a forge test that I can replay, and then slowly diagnosing where the bug is stemming from. An alternative path that could be useful is to stream the function call sequence (with the option to disable traces as well) to a file. This would allow easily creating a forge test from it. This file could even be used to generate a test and be diagnosed by a coding agent. Resolving the "last mile" of finding these failures would make the DX absolutely top tier.
I would bet that anyone who's worked with these models extensively would agree.
I'll never forget the sama AGI posts before o3 launched and the subsequent doomer posting from techies. Feels so stupid in hindsight.
For clarity, I actually hate submodules and badly they're implemented. But its what I have to work with!
Just waiting for Jujutsu to support submodules and I can replace git completely.
Since this is adjacent to crypto, I came in here expecting some kind of hateful things being said about it, but seems like a fairly productive and honest discussion, something that is usually lost as soon as the c-word is mentioned.
Despite all of the issues that are within the crypto world, I do think stablecoins are a fantastic use-case that most of us should be able to get behind to break this duopoly. With some oversight/proofs of solvency for the issuers, I hope they can become the dominant payment method. I can say from experience, the fact that I can easily pay friends and also receive yield on my holdings is such a nice experience, especially considering the inflationary environment we're in currently.
A bit off-topic, but the point on duplicate detection reminded me of a thought I've had while taking photos on trips, in a swarm of other people doing the same. I've always wondered how much of the ICloud's storage is taken up by duplicate photos across everyone's phones. How many petabyte would this be? Imagine swapping one person out for another, in the same exact location in an image. How many then?
About to finish reading "Real World Cryptograhy" by David Wong, would highly recommend for anyone curious about this subject.
Amazing timing. I was going to build a JSON-RPC in the next few weeks. Will see if I can make use of this.
