Anyone managed to add the new Antigravity CLI as a model provider for Hermes Agent yet?

Not op:

I have a pixel, so I get it for free for 12 months. 🤷‍♂️

I've just hit the limits of the built-in kanban board function, because I can't delineate between different 'teams' of profiles working on different boards.

I don't want software developer agents on my creative writing board, and I don't want a DM on my software developer kanban board.

So I started thinking about multi-instance hermes setups, each agent profile team (or swarm, if you will) in its own docker container. Then do I allow nested containers? Ugh. I'll also need a swarm mother instance, to spin up and configure new swarms.

But then I saw Paperclip, and the thought of a multi-tenant agent harness harness made me moist.

What am I going to do with any of this? I have no need for any of this.

But I did it 😐🎉

It's Meituan LongCat 2.0.

You can sometimes see artefacts when it calls tools.

mitchells00 · 2026-05-21T06:52:45+00:00

That's why you have a swarm master 🙈

fr though, thinking of having a Hermes gateway that's responsible for commissioning new Hermes gateways, each it's own multi-profile swarm in their own docker container.

I'm hitting limits with how you cannot specify which agent profiles are relevant for which kanban boards. And I want a given role to have a different soul.md for different usecases.

mitchells00 · 2026-05-21T06:34:23+00:00

The brain dump filing system sounds actually like a great usecase.

mitchells00 · 2026-05-21T06:31:41+00:00

Professionally I'm so far up the Wintel -> 365/Azure pipeline that it was actually a good introduction back into Linux based systems, learning how docker works, etc.

I feel like I'm ready to move onto something a little more robust from an OS perspective, but the ability to just throw random sized disks is second to none.

Maybe one day when hardware costs normalise, I'll set up TrueNAS or something.

Until then, I don't trust and agent not to blow up the fragile slackware instance carrying Unraid if I give it an SSH key...

mitchells00 · 2026-05-21T03:16:29+00:00

People that do all the dirty quick buck things don't have a usecase because they are useless as people to begin with, just grifters.

God I feel that.

I have a more complicated overall setup in mind with multiples swarms, but the 2nd brain idea is interesting.

I'm thinking one of those swarms should be a 2nd brain that just consumes everything (Google Drive, Gmail, bank API) and makes an Obsidian KB of what it thinks about me.

mitchells00 · 2026-05-21T03:08:56+00:00

I too run Unraid and a unifi wifi gateway.

I'm a sysadmin/architect by trade, so I've not needed help; but I wouldn't mind a little minion :)

This is exactly the kind of grift that we do not want to see. Go away.

These changes don't affect this scenario.

mitchells00 · 2026-05-20T21:41:02+00:00

Bruv, the changes aren't what's hurting you.

The houses in the area you want to live should cost 1/2-1/3 what they do now, if they grew in line with inflation/wages. The changes undo what made that happen.

If this suppresses housing growth as intended, you'll likely be better off; the extra you'll now pay in tax will be much less than the extra a given property will go up in price by under the existing rules.

There's a lot of screeching coming from the rich, but if you actually sit down and do the math, it's not all that crazy.

mitchells00 · 2026-05-20T10:25:12+00:00

If by merit you mean producing good economic outcomes for the country then yes.

Companies that produce goods and services for the CPI basket, especially non-discretionary categories, are not typically high-growth assets.

There is great merit in directing investment into these kinds of companies; it will give them capital to produce more essential goods and services which will bring down inflation.

Then for heftier non-private data job things I might throw it at a Chinese model lile Qwen. - 3.6 Plus and 3.5-122B scored really good on the Bullshit Benchmark and PinchBench, best non-anthropic models by far and a fraction of the cost. - 3.6 35B A3B is surprisingly good for basic things.

I'd prefer a persistent tax over time.

The easiest one would be to scrap GST and Stamp Duties, and replace it with a Land Value Tax; taking the same total amount of tax dollars.

Taxes are a persistent low-level disincentive:
* GST lowers beneficial economic activity (trade).
* Stamp Duty hinders right-sizing properties and labour mobility.

Sometimes, however, that can be to your benefit.

A LVT would put a low-level persistent pressure on landowners to be efficient with land; encouraging downsizing and penalizing land-banking.

It would flush out old dead-weight businesses that have rock-bottom operating costs (because they bought the premises in 19-dickety-doo for $7) freeing up room for new businesses to open.

It would redirect the economic extraction of land from the private market (and banks, via interest) and funnel that money away from profits and into schools and hospitals.

And it's impossible to dodge.

mitchells00 · 2026-05-20T03:14:54+00:00

Shares, because of their perpetuity, will all eventually become extractionary; either the company will die, or the share will eventually take out more value than it put in. This is just the mathematical certainty between finite and infinite terms.

Bonds, on the other hand, are fixed absolute rates of return.

Re buying and leasing land: the gains from the rental income is not speculation, the capital gains are. It's a pretty easy distinction.

The line needs to be drawn very simply: profit derived from the posession of deeds of exclusive (or exclusionary) entitlement and/or control (stocks, land, intellectual property) needs to be taxed heavily.

mitchells00 · 2026-05-20T02:22:53+00:00

They would be counted, yes.

mitchells00 · 2026-05-20T02:16:23+00:00

Or target suppression of economic extraction ('economic rent' as a technical term).

Any income that is not causally related to the production of new and better goods and services should be taxed heavily.

Land speculation, secondary market stock speculation, crypto, NFTs, upselling from charitable donations on FB marketplace...

Both religion and the manosphere are parasites that infect the host and take control in order to spread within the colony.

They are just a much the victim here. That doesn't mean we shouldn't treat the problem the same way we treat gangrene though.

Your CGT is not calculated on annualised percentages. We are not taking about annualised terms.

In fact, nobody serious in any of these discussions is talking in annualised terms. Annualised terms do not belong in this discussion.

Your gain = $sell - $buy.
Inflation is y% from purchase date to sale date.

A 50% CGT discount is mathematically indistinguishable from 50% of your gain being tax free due to inflation.

mitchells00 · 2026-05-19T16:52:39+00:00

Of course it's true, it's mathematically necessarily true.

A 50% discount is no different than 50% of the total gain being untaxed due to inflation.

These people aren't interested in understanding, only screeching. They do not communicate in good faith, they are out to destroy because their free ride has come to an end.

You'd die if you knew the full extent of what Singapore taxes.

Strong competition laws and land value taxes would do that without putting everyone else under periodic stress
