This weekend I had a long flight so for fun I started coding fast-agent prototypes. One of the conclusions from that exercise was that you shouldn't use AI for programmatic tasks. So now I'm coding a framework on top of NATS - as a lightweight Kafka replacement - that can execute code when needed, and call agents when desired.

I've made a little demo system that ingests RSS feeds, summarizes them with a local LLM and serves articles including their summaries over an API that follows this design: https://codeberg.org/optimism/sovereign-news-ai

I’m hammering out the final details for the first Committee hearing I am the point person for next Thursday!

Simply amazing. The platform overall is a very great idea and is totally necessary. Thank you for your services to the community ;)

I still spend several hours a week reading/thinking about supply and demand. Can't leave the darn thing alone.

I think I have a good approach to clarifying that all, but I need to sit down and write it out.

I spent a fair amount of time looking at NATS when I was making a distributed logging system in golang a decade ago. Other internal teams were using Kafka (which was a special kind of monstrosity at the time with zookeeper and iirc paxos for consensus).

I don’t recall NATS having persistence then or we continued to be nuts about latency because we were planning on storing everything in the in-memory db that I was also leading at the time.

Cool to see NATS come up again!

I’m getting over a virus, setting me back a week or so.

I’ll probably be reviewing code and doing monthly admin.

Thank you for being here!

Aw shucks, thanks

That is the work of the multi- talented @plebpoet!

I'm a graphic designer and I MUST say how this logo is awesome. It is not simple but it's not complex. It is simply good. Congratulations to whoever made it. Very nice.
