Target Multiple Classes with the Class Prefix Selector โ€“ Bram.us

BrightbeamAI/chap: Collaborative Human Agent Protocol (CHAP) ยท GitHub

๐Ÿš€ Explore this trending post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: You have agents doing real work. Drafting code reviews, triaging tickets, suggesting settlements, reviewing contracts. A human approves, edits, or rejects each one. Right now, that decision lives in your application code, your chat threads, your ticket comments, and your head. When something goes wrong six weeks later, reconstructing what happened costs you forty-five minutes and is half guesswork. CHAP gives you one place to put those decisions and one shape to put them in. The agent's draft is an artefact. The human's edit is…

๐Ÿ’ฅ Read this trending post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: August 18, 2026Inference is the bottleneck of the agent era. Agents read, plan, and call tools, often for hours or days. They consume tokens at a rate chat never approached. Every one of those tokens takes a full forward pass over the model. At Inco AI, we are building the inference stack scaled to the token economics of tomorrow. This post is a sneak peek. Our team released DFlash in January; it now runs in SGLang, vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, and llama.cpp. NVIDIA measured up to 15ร—…

User needs in mapping software Even if the developers were incredibly motivated to shove in every feature, user interfaces can only become so complex before they become…
