GitHub - rasbt/mini-coding-agent: Minimal and readable coding agent harness implementation in Python to explain the core components of coding agents. Minimal and readable coding agent harness implementation in Python to explain the core components of coding agents. - rasbt/mini-coding-agent

I am currently toying around with this mini coding agent + the fast local "qwen3.5:35b-a3b-coding-nvfp4" model.

That is a surprisingly capable and fast combination.

Also works great with Claude Code of course. First time I can take a local setup serious.

So, the current US president is praising Allah on Easter Sunday.

That is indeed a new one.

The Moon as seen by Artems II on 4 April 2026. Mare Orientale is seen side on as the feature narrow feature on the right limb of the Moon, just past the darker blob of crater Grimaldi.

OK this is cool. The first time humans have seen the whole Mare Orientale on the far side of the Moon with their own eyes. See flic.kr/p/2s5HA2X 🧪🔭

"Death" looks different, indeed.

Best example I can think of is looking at Twitch viewer stats for dying/dead games. They fall of a cliff and don't recover, maybe get some life support from a content/patch release, but that won't help if the game is dead.

This is obviously not happening here.

On the other hand, Putin-Russia also seems to send material to Iran, which is crucial to defend their own territory, so they also get weakened by this conflict...

See this earlier post from you ->

Linus Torvalds and the Linux kernel community famously insist that all patches have to be broken down in readable chunks, or get rejected.

Maybe this should also be required, at least for sensitive projects? Could LLMs get trained/"skilled" to break changes down, once they reach a certain stage?

Polish president rejects $50 billion in European military loans The development represents the latest tit-for-tat move in right-wing Nawrocki’s ongoing row with the centrist government.

Karol Nawrocki is successfully vetoing many of Tusks attempts to get Poland closer to EU again. The invalid judges PiS put in power are still mostly in place, as far as I know.

Also this last (in-)famous example ->

Kubicki ist ein wenig die Sahra Wagenknecht der FDP:

- Dauergast in Talkshows
- blinkt gerne am populistischen rechten Rand und darüber hinaus

Vermutlich kommt die FDP allerdings ohne ein Abspaltung aus, das ist eh nicht mehr viel zu holen.

Time to quote this again, considering that all sides seem to be destined to escalate this conflict further ->

Russia gave Iran intelligence on Israel's energy infrastructure, Zelensky says Russia provided Iran with satellite intelligence on over 50 Israeli energy sites, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on April 5, the latest of a series of Ukrainian claims that Russia is supporting Teh...

"(Russia) helps Iran launch attacks. These are civilian infrastructures without any military purpose," Zelensky posted on his Telegram channel on April 5, sharing comments he gave in an AP interview conducted Saturday.

Head of IAF intelligence unit tracking Iran’s ballistic missile program:

Iran has “dozens” of fortified tunnels, leaving only a brief window to strike missiles when they emerge by truck before launch. They estimate that perhaps 1,000 missiles are left with range to hit Israel.-Israel Channel 12

I cannot get my head around the fact that these betting places are legal in any way in the first place.

Polymarket apologizes for allowing wagers on fate of U.S. pilots downed in Iran "This is DISGUSTING," Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts wrote of the now deleted market.

See e.g. how Tusk in Poland fails to get rid of many of those nasty PiS leftovers, that they managed to retain the powerful presidency and now everything looks grim there.

A similar fate could happen in Hungary :/

The bitter part is that Orbán does not even need to win, he just does not have to loose (e.g. the opposition party fails get a 2/3 majority).

His almost 2 decades reign rigged everything in Hungary, so that he might survive a few years of a powerless opposition party rule+come back even stronger :/

a man in a suit says " why can t we all just get along " Alt: a man in a suit says " why can t we all just get along "

Leider klingt und fühlt sich dies doch sehr nach beruhigendem Wunschdenken an, während im nahen Osten und in der Ukraine unvermindert weitergekämpft wird :/

I guess the audience (we) are already so used to these word salad social media announcements, that regular, old school press releasees are no longer an option.

The first line "FROM PRESIDENT [...]" is already a dead giveaway, that this is more a formal press announcement relayed by someone than one of his usual direct emotional outbursts.

⚡️Ukraine reportedly strikes Russian Lukoil refinery, defying calls to ease attacks amid soaring fuel prices.

Ukrainian drones struck a Lukoil oil refinery in the Russian city of Kstovo overnight on April 5, Russian Telegram media channels reported.

As longs as those temps are in spec and your pi CPU/SOC has at least a small passive cooler attached, that looks tolerable.

That limit was my first thought, that is really painful.

Hopefully at some point direct PDS to PDS transfers are possible that circumvent these limits.

I doubt that, seriously.

Likely there are some external rate limits biting you while transferring a huge account, not the pi

Seeing OSINT of reports of a firefight between U.S. and Iranian forces in the attempt to recover the downed airmen, still waiting for official confirmations but it does appear like the WSO was possibly recovered.
