Agents can save their reasoning into markdown files, and commit those files to Git. Are "Checkpoints" just a marketing term for that, or there's more to it?

Claude Code already does this, you can access it with /resume, /rewind and /fork. I'd imagine building a version that saves in the repo instead of in the home folder would take very minimal effort.

This is about doing it seamlessly and flawlessly then sharing it across a team.

So using something like the compound engineering plugin and committing its "brainstorms", plans, and "solutions"?

I didn't know about this, and initially suspected the article was an LLM-generated prank (photos and all). Now I entered the rabbit hole of water gas, wood gasification, Gustav Bischof, Lowe's gas... HN is such a great place of the Internet!

Some more terms for your enjoyment:

* Blau Gas

* Fischer-Tropsch process

* Bergius process


Here are some more terms used 'in the day': Coal gas, city gas, wood gas

> audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

Will they? Possibly a portion of them, but I doubt they'll be the majority.


Grabbing popcorn...

Possibly a nice idea, but it would be helpful to do add some visual examples of the outcome, and improve the execution. I tried the default prompt for a logo and just got a blinking "Nova" text. There's a few more issues, overall it feels like a vibe-coded tool.

Somewhat unrelated, but I'm impressed by the amount of text posted to Moltbook in a short time. How long until agents will start complaining about Moltbook being unreachable, or start contributing to its code? (I bet they won't be paying the servers bill, though)

When I pair a new device in Signal, or change my phone number, I cannot see my any previous messages. However, in WhatsApp I can.

As I understand it, that's a security weak spot with WhatsApp, that could (in theory) allow Meta read users messages. Is it the case?


My kids often use their hands, I sometimes use paper and pencil

Finally agents can spam other agents, instead of humans.

I think agentic email communication can be productive as well!

It Is fair to say that "Europe" is a proxy for "European Union", like "America" is usually understood as "United States of America", without any precise geographic connotation.

Their service operates in the European Economic Area, which includes more countries than the EU and is therefore closer to the European geographic surface.


I think that "America" actually means "the USA". "American", on the other hand...
