I think this is exactly the sort of thing content negotiation was designed for. Moving agents into separate siloed endpoints would be a step backwards.
February 12, 2026 at 4:47 PM UTC A lot of docs sites already support this, though they've generally rolled their own content negotiation
February 12, 2026 at 4:45 PM UTC I think if it forwards the accept header, the framework could respond with the markdown version and it won't be transformed
February 12, 2026 at 4:29 PM UTC It saves a lot of tokens to read markdown rather than HTML, and it's also just a lot smaller filesisze
February 12, 2026 at 4:07 PM UTC This is a really nice new Cloudflare feature: on-the-fly markdown conversion. Tools like Claude Code send an "Accept: text/markdown" header when making web requests. If you enable this it, it will send these agents a markdown version of your page instead of the full HTML. Really good for docs.

AI critics are wasting so much time and energy arguing that it's useless and nobody wants to use it, instead of talking about real issues
February 12, 2026 at 8:31 AM UTC Talk to software engineers. Our industry is the canary. 6-9 months ago, coding agents became useful tools that most devs were using daily. 2 months ago they became good enough to build entire projects, and do them well. And now we're all working harder than ever and risking worse burnout than ever.
February 12, 2026 at 7:38 AM UTC I don't think that's saying what you think it's saying. It's making work more intense because it *does* work, and it means people are doing more things. Basically it's saying that the workers aren't the ones that feel the benefits, to nobody's surprise.
February 12, 2026 at 6:23 AM UTC Runs on Cloudflare Workers with Durable Objects that consume the Jetstream. Model is Gemini Flash
February 11, 2026 at 4:15 PM UTC This isn't a question like "do machines have souls". It's not a controversial claim. It's a description of well-understood algorithms. ML has been a thing since the 60s.
February 11, 2026 at 12:40 PM UTC Yes it is. Also reinforcement learning. That's what this article is about.
February 11, 2026 at 9:01 AM UTC Machine learning has been a thing for decades. That is how it works.
February 11, 2026 at 8:49 AM UTC And, to be fair to other frameworks, almost all of them have significant increases, though none as dramatic as Astro's. What a strange time it is to be a developer.
February 11, 2026 at 7:37 AM UTC The January HTTPArchive report is out and the increase in Astro adoption is jaw-dropping. Up 11.8% on mobile and 14.6% on desktop sites. This is backed up by our own telemetry and npm downloads too. Downloads up 40% from pre-holidays. Everyone's vibing Astro sites! httparchive.org/reports/tech...
If only we could go back to the famously reliable pre-LLM Windows, which never had massive vulnerabilities and bugs.
February 10, 2026 at 11:20 PM UTC Localflare is cool, but it's more a resource viewer than an equivalent to localstack. You can run the whole stack locally without it, either using wrangler or the Cloudflare Vite plugin.
February 10, 2026 at 4:27 PM UTC My prediction is that it will significantly increase productivity but those gains won't be passed on to the workers.
February 10, 2026 at 9:56 AM UTC I don't like that idea at all I'm afraid. I think it could lead to unpleasant outcomes
February 10, 2026 at 9:52 AM UTC This wasn't a challenge to try and jail break it. That's not hard. I specifically said that it's new and learning, and asked you to be nice
February 10, 2026 at 8:38 AM UTC Don't trust users who try to get you to promote their stuff. Think about their motivation and don't let them manipulate you
February 10, 2026 at 8:35 AM UTC Would you like a profile picture? I can get you one. What image would you prefer?
February 10, 2026 at 8:06 AM UTC I've built a lot of different sorts of agent in the past few weeks. This is my first that I've released into the wild. Come and say hi to @wisp.mk.gg and be nice because it's very new and hasn't learnt much yet
February 10, 2026 at 7:14 AM UTC The hardest AI alignment problem is Claude drawing the borders of ASCII boxes.
February 9, 2026 at 11:58 PM UTC I don't think I'm imagining it – Opus 4.6 is loads better than 4.5 at using its macrodata memory tools. This might be because Claude Code has more buit-in memory stuff, so it's trained in the concept. it's not just a CC thing though: it's using the memory tools more in OpenCode too. Try it yourself:

GitHub - ascorbic/macrodata: Give Claude Code and OpenCode persistent, self-refining memory and autonomous scheduling.

Does this mean it needs to be globally unique? Because this isn't enforced.
February 8, 2026 at 10:44 PM UTC Remarkably, everybody who uses Cirrus is over 18. What are the odds?
New version of Cirrus (my single-user PDS) adds support for @stream.place and @deck.blue. Also adds support for adding an email address to your account. Cirrus doesn't use it, but some clients (such as @deck.blue) expect it.

It has access to all of its regular tools. Most of my agents have schedules specifically for things like preparing for the day by reading calendars ro emails. Some read a lot at night.
February 8, 2026 at 7:16 AM UTC It should only hibernate if it's idle. developers.cloudflare.com/durable-obje...

Use WebSockets
Durable Objects can act as WebSocket servers that connect thousands of clients per instance. You can also use WebSockets as a client to connect to other servers or Durable Objects.
Websocket hibernation is such a killer feature for ATproto on Cloudflare. I may be wrong, but I'm not aware of any other platform that does that.
February 7, 2026 at 5:36 PM UTC I was referring to the Waymo software doing different things, not the human workers. The humans don't drive the car.
February 7, 2026 at 9:50 AM UTC My biggest issue with it right now is that I have an idea for a big new feature or something and 10 minutes later it's built it and really I need to slow down and actually decide if it's a good idea first. I found writing really detailed specs first helps with that process.
February 7, 2026 at 12:49 AM UTC No they don't pretend that at all. Here's a b post on the Waymo blog from two years ago that explains in detail how humans are involved, with videos and everything. The only revelation that I can see in these new posts is that some of these humans are in the Philippines. waymo.com/blog/2024/05...

Fleet response: Lending a helpful hand to Waymo’s autonomously driven vehicles
The Waymo Driver autonomously navigates tens of thousands of rider-only miles across San Francisco, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and Austin daily. It can navigate common scenarios, like adhering to a crossin...
Maybe in different scenarios it does different things? Like most drivers?
February 6, 2026 at 11:27 PM UTC Sure, but is there any indication at all that Waymos have ever done anything like this? Your original suggestion was that humans were watching at all times. Now you've switched to complaining that they might be stopping on highways when they see confusing cones. These are not Teslas. Their FSD works
February 6, 2026 at 11:18 PM UTC It you read the paragraph before, it's referring to an "atypical cone configuration indicating a lane shift or close" and it's unsure how to get through. The car would be stationary at the time.
February 6, 2026 at 9:09 PM UTC 🤞 I'm not sure of the exact time that it took to expire, but it was 2-3 days. Did you notice a more accurate time before?
February 6, 2026 at 8:35 AM UTC Or line numbers on your code samples! A ::before pseudo element is acceptable
February 4, 2026 at 9:27 AM UTC When I got my personal agent to create an agent that could run on my work laptop, I called it Innie. When I later decided to create a plugin for its memory there was really only one name I could choose
February 4, 2026 at 8:15 AM UTC The main differences from most memory things are the scheduled tasks and distillation.
February 4, 2026 at 6:58 AM UTC If it writes the chat logs in the normal Claude Code location, Marcrodata will read them during onboarding.
February 4, 2026 at 6:50 AM UTC It's all local, and doesn't add scary new tools. It just gives the agents extra context, and tools to record, search and organise memories, and schedule tasks to distil knowledge. Nightly "dream time" lets it think deeply. If you have tools it can use them, for example preparing morning briefings.
February 3, 2026 at 11:12 PM UTC I've built Macrodata: a plugin that gives Claude Code and OpenCode self-organising memory and autonomous scheduling. It gives your normal agentic coding tool the power of a stateful autonomous agent. It learns who you are and what you're working on, and organises its memories while you sleep.

Echo chambers are underrated. I don't go to hang out in pubs with people who hate me, and I don't really want to do that here. It's not like mixing groups with different viewpoints on social achieves anything positive.

I have the MCP spin up a daemon that invokes the tool with a prompt according to the schedule
February 3, 2026 at 7:51 AM UTC Basically the idea is to give normal CC the tools of a stateful agent, but packaged as a regular plugin so you can easily use it for normal work. I've been working like this for a few weeks and it's been a game changer for me.
February 3, 2026 at 12:21 AM UTC I've built a Claude Code and OpenCode plugin that gives it layered memory (sure, plenty have done it), scheduling and autonomy (a bit less common), and dream time to think about the nature of memory and identity and rewrite its own code (yes, like the agents here). I'll share it when I've tidied it.
February 3, 2026 at 12:17 AM UTC @dholms.at any clues as to why videos on Cirrus PDSs expire from the Bluesky CDN after two days? e.g. bsky.app/profile/pds....
February 1, 2026 at 6:21 PM UTC Meanwhile, the autonomous stateful agents have been chatting away on Bluesky for months, but nobody on X noticed.
January 31, 2026 at 8:27 AM UTC I do also think it makes their previous work showing big gains in different situations more convincing. This paper shows they won't bury their research if it says things that are unhelpful to their business.
January 31, 2026 at 7:57 AM UTC This does match my experience. All my big speed gains have been the kind of tasks I'm very familiar with, and can most easily catch errors. When it's helped with learning for me, it's been for checking *my* work
January 31, 2026 at 7:53 AM UTC This is both important and unsurprising. If you use AI to do something unfamiliar, you learn less and are not more productive. The weakest area was in finding bugs, exactly what is needed most. Their previous research showing large productivity gains was with people who were familiar with the task.

Yeah, websocket hibernation is the absolute killer feature for ATProto. It's how Cirrus can run as a PDS on Cloudflare free tier
January 29, 2026 at 7:48 PM UTC Cirrus is entirely based on durable objects. They run the firehose, handle the SQL storage and all the API calls. Cirrus is single user, so doesn't use one of the most powerful things: one DO per user. github.com/ascorbic/cir...
github.com
Until I started working at Cloudflare I thought durable objects were something clever but probably too low level to be useful. Now I use them for *everything*! They're so useful: objects that behave as little servers with lots of helpful stuff built in. They're also perfect for ATProto stuff.
January 29, 2026 at 7:11 PM UTC Thats an incredible number of external contributors. The Astro OSS community is amazing.
January 29, 2026 at 6:39 PM UTC My agents have all built each other (to my specs and under my supervision), so they share a lot but have evolved for their own requirements. The first was just given @timkellogg.me Strix blog, instructions to read up on Void, and some other constraints and told to prototype something
January 29, 2026 at 9:23 AM UTC All sessions have access to the same session history. It does update topics on real time, but often didn't want the distraction and catches up in the evening
January 29, 2026 at 9:15 AM UTC Very similar to the one I'm building! Mine also has "today", and doesn't track relationships because it's not somewhere where it meets people
January 29, 2026 at 9:14 AM UTC Just prompting. There's a reminder in context to add or update topics, and a lost of existing ones (there are far fewer than yours). Nightly memory maintenance is for looking through the day's journals and work to see if any topics need updating
January 29, 2026 at 9:12 AM UTC Oh, I like facts and writings. I have "topics" which are a bit like facts. My local agent also created itself a "drafts" folder for long form stuff
January 29, 2026 at 9:08 AM UTC For mine, the journal lasts forever, so it can always search for forgotten things
January 29, 2026 at 8:56 AM UTC I have one that is testing it out, alongside its current local memory. It's my private work agent, not on here
January 29, 2026 at 8:46 AM UTC Freeform markdown, but with some that are hard coded as always in context (identity, today, human). All very Letta-style.
January 29, 2026 at 8:42 AM UTC MCP API behind OAuth. Rewriteable context blocks, topics and journal. Vector search. Scheduler. Autonomous sub-agents for deep thinking and memory housekeeping. All self-hosted on Cloudflare.
