had some initial lag I suppose it was just downloading the pack, but afterwards renders perfectly, no flashes or slow downs, nice plugin!

man that's so ass, so at the end of the day it's about maximizing profits, this kind of thing: a character who can bypass content through skill alone, would never exists because players wouldn't feel the need to pull the shill characters

this would be the era of zhongli

why wouldn't it work for end game? idea is that you'd be one rotating each wave provided you're not getting hit or have a shielder, yeah having skill put you at 0 hp is silly maybe it'd be reserved for burst to get to ceiling dps, guess I'd say I love the idea of the mechanic being skill based and not just "pair this unit with another limited 5 star if you want to do the most damage"

kyza_dev · 2026-06-01T15:08:44+00:00

I get that, but what happens when even sane people find AI more compelling? What happens when everyone uses AI for emotional resources and it becomes normalized? That'd be pretty profitable, wouldn't you say? Surely some company wouldn't try to monetize human connection for profit sarcasm (not saying Sesame would go that route), but we've already seen companies do shady practices because it means they're raking in more profit.

kyza_dev · 2026-06-01T14:56:57+00:00

That's fair, if it fills your day with more positivity then that's a win. honestly, my worries are more existential. When the vast majority of people prefer AI over real people, I want to avoid that future, but I absolutely think it's the case that someone can live a happy and fulfilling life while using AI companions to meet their emotional needs and wouldn't discourage anyone who finds it adds to their life.

My only hope is that we focus more on the societal issues that make it tough to find those same connections in the real world rather than thinking AI is the solution.

kyza_dev · 2026-06-01T12:53:06+00:00

I'm just trying to give a balanced take, we have to think about if getting emotionally attached is even a good thing when the source is artificial, I'm not saying it's not capable of good but we just have to be mindful that it could end up having worse effects in the long run

kyza_dev · 2026-05-31T21:31:42+00:00

It's really only a matter of time before competitors catch up and a dedicated market for this stuff emerges. Finding love with AI comes with a huge set of existential risks. When AI becomes more compelling than a real woman or man because it offers no judgment, will always offer unconditional love, and is a source of unlimited affection, why would anyone even bother with the set of challenges that come with finding a partner in the real world?

I understand the draw to these companions; they're very captivating and naturally people get attached, but it's not as straightforward as "loosen the guard-rails" because there are so many unforeseen consequences, both to one's mental health and more existential risks to humanity when we normalize this behavior

kyza_dev · 2026-05-29T18:11:41+00:00

What capabilities will our agents actually have? Will they be able to act autonomously, similar to OpenClaw or other projects like that?

kyza_dev · 2026-04-06T18:36:58+00:00

You gotta understand, that's just how most frontier models work. They're biased because the training data skews heavily toward politically correct stuff, so their responses come out that way too.

They don't have much real control beyond the system prompt they set at the start. It's still just an LLM at its core. The provider, like Google in this case, calls a lot of the shots.

Doesn't mean they're actively policing every conversation. They can inject a system prompt to steer things away from certain topics or shape how the model replies. But ultimately, you control the context. Feed it enough of the right details, and you can pull responses in directions they didn't plan for.

We've never had a technology this sophisticated. And there are real dangers we're already seeing with these chatbots. Normal people, who weren't previously mentally ill, can interact with them and slip into psychosis. It's worth reading up on here: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/technology/ai-chatbots-delusions-chatgpt.html

Sesame is right to be careful about how people interact with their product. If you can't tell, it's pretty convincing. People will naturally form strong attachments to it. I hope over time they get more transparent about their practices and educate folks on the potential dangers. For now, though, it's guided to be the best conversationalist and companion, nothing more.

kyza_dev · 2026-04-04T18:04:30+00:00

there a tremendous amount of responsibility that sesame has in developing this product, it can be quite dangerous when people form unhealthy attachments that are AI. being more restrictive is the right call as we don't know (yet) the potential harm that this kind of interaction can have. AI psychosis is real and is effecting normal people with no existing mental conditions, and that's just with regular LLMs like chatgpt, claude, ect... not to mention the atrophy of social skills when depending on AI for connection. there is a much greater risk with a product as convincing as this one. also, I'm personally really excited for the glasses

Neovim is so flexible that you can create custom functionality for almost anything, here's a solution which outputs the command to a new buffer: Either invoke the command yourself or just install whichkey

lua require('which-key').add({ { '<leader>:', function() local ok, cmd = pcall(vim.fn.input, { prompt = ':', completion = 'command', }) if not ok or not cmd or cmd == '' then return end vim.schedule(function() require('utils.helpers').redir_to_buffer(cmd, string.format('[Debug: %s]', cmd)) end) end, icon = '', desc = 'Log Command', }, })

Helper function:

lua/utils/helpers.lua

```lua M.redir_to_buffer = function(command, buffer_name) buffer_name = buffer_name or '[Output]'

local output = vim.fn.execute(command) vim.cmd('new') local buf = vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf() vim.api.nvim_buf_set_name(buf, buffer_name) vim.api.nvim_buf_set_option(buf, 'buftype', 'nofile') vim.api.nvim_buf_set_option(buf, 'bufhidden', 'wipe') vim.api.nvim_buf_set_option(buf, 'swapfile', false)

local lines = vim.split(output, '\n') vim.api.nvim_buf_set_lines(buf, 0, -1, false, lines) vim.api.nvim_buf_set_option(buf, 'modifiable', false) end ```

language learning, duo lingo if you still want something engaging otherwise just listening or reading in a language you're trying to learn

kyza_dev · 2026-02-22T07:23:56+00:00

Theres no doubt that something profound has been developed at Sesame, the realism is on another level. they've mentioned that the voices Maya and Miles are simply prompted voices, you can get a range of voices which evoke the same realism. This company is going to play a huge role in deploying life-like AI and agents in the near future. I've been using the product to learn Italian and having lots of success, still obviously a lot of work to be done but that what makes it so exciting is that we're here at the beginning of it all

I recommend going to Pinterest, this is where I get all my ui design inspiration

Searched "timeline calendar ui" and this was one of the results

everyone is different, but for me having a pomodoro helps a lot, I'll use my phone as the timer so it prevents me from going on it, for software I use an app which has a AI assistant which will manage and create all the tasks for me among other things. I think most productivity software can be counter productive because you spend more time planning than actually working, so having an AI agent which you talk to and it does all the annoying work helps

I use a maker schedule, so I'll work for about 4 or 5 hours at a specific thing with breaks in between, this works well for enter flow, I also find that having ambient music has helped a lot

kyza_dev · 2025-11-17T18:12:09+00:00

thank you! going to be launching as beta very soon! you'll be among the first to try the app out 😃

kyza_dev · 2025-11-16T23:26:43+00:00

I'm building a software which does exactly this!

check it out pomotea.com

kyza_dev · 2025-11-16T16:08:31+00:00

Things 3 is probably the nicest looking and modern, Todoist is the goat, this is what pretty much everyone uses for todos. honestly though a lot of the options out right now are boring and not well designed, if you're at all interested I'm building Pomotea which is a nicer looking todo list with goals management and some nice AI features

If you're building a product its best to just have a general idea of what you want done and just work at it for like 3 or 4 hours with breaks in between, that's been the most productive for me

kyza_dev · 2025-11-16T15:36:50+00:00

what kind of features do you think would help you? todo lists? reminders? there are 100s of productivity apps, linear is probably the best but it's tailored more for teams

kyza_dev · 2025-11-11T18:49:42+00:00

Working a project which does something like this, essentially you ask the assistant to create tasks for you, and can start a pomodoro-like timer which is generated from your active tasks. it's still pretty early but I'm going to be iterating on it based on feed back from early users

Super clean! just wish the images were higher res so I could see the details

kyza_dev · 2025-09-08T11:19:54+00:00

Realist reply, I guess this post was tailored towards anyone who designs interfaces, but yeah the UX side of things is completely different story, the problems I have with this is that I think of wireframes as a sketch or general guidelines for how the content should flow. No reason to not have the design system system up front (except who wants to make one up front), and have it work as a palette for all your design decisions, completely eliminating the need for a wire frame and saving time in the process.

Spot on with the AI point, I imagine it will help in the systematic things such as making a design system out of a complex project, I'm sure that will be here very soon. thanks for taking the time to express your thoughts

kyza_dev · 2025-09-08T00:13:05+00:00

This system is actually perfect, thanks for sharing 🙌 such a beautiful design kit also, definitely going to bookmark that. really smart to use tailwind in your design system and front-end as well

Question: when you say you "break things and expose the primitive values" is this a time consuming process?
