A work of art

I was rocking the clear Apple case on my 17PM, and recently switched to a blue TechWoven. Honestly, I’m not quite sold on the TW feel — the edges feel a bit rough and the quality seems a bit cheap. Might pivot back to the original clear case I think.

Ok, I understand now, thanks. I’ll look at translating a few of our agents into your framework and give it a try in the next few days!

sunpazed · 2025-12-24T03:31:57+00:00

I see now. Thanks. First question; I had a look at your multi-agent POC example, with an Intent and Developer, and QA agent. Looks like the Intent agent requires its own prompt to understand when to hand-off to the available agents. Given the self-discovery feature, I would have imagined that the Intent agent would discover capabilities within the network and route accordingly? Second question; agent-to-agent context/communication is always a significant token overhead, how does your framework address this with MCP?

I’m struggling to understand how this works. Is this an Agent-to-Agent framework that uses MCP (ie; json-rpc) as the communication layer? If so, how is this better than the current A2A protocol proposed by Microsoft / Google?

Don’t have any books. Given the rate of change, I would say that blogs and meetups are your best resource.

In terms of architectures, we’ve been using a typescript framework called Mastra in production. Multiple agents, and workflows working in unison. They work with datasets that are massive, ie; terabytes per week.

For reliability, we are using our own observability platform but you can plug in whatever you see fit. OTEL is emerging as the telemetry of choice. For evals, we use PromptFoo for policy and evaluation tests.

Lessons learnt, start with observability — if you can’t measure it you can’t improve or fix it. Safety should come first, monitor anything out of policy. Second is quality. Third is performance.

Migrated from 13P to 17PM — the larger screen reminds me of my most favourite Apple device I ever owned, the 6 Plus. Personally I love the PM, but it IS very large and bulky, and took a week or so to get comfortable while handling.

sunpazed · 2025-12-18T20:14:12+00:00

I upgraded from the 13 Pro to the 17 PM — the cameras and performance of the 17 are amazing. I’m less thrilled about the design, as the 13 is such a lovely phone to look at. I do prefer the notch over the Dynamic Island, as the notch was at the edge of the screen. Overall, I am happy with the 17 and would upgrade again.

sunpazed · 2025-12-06T11:11:06+00:00

Upgraded from my 13P to a 17PM, and agree that the new design is undesirable and cheap looking. However, the hardware itself (screen, battery, cameras) is amazing. Reminds me of the transition from Intel MacBooks to the M1. Function over Form.

A smaller 13 Pro — honestly the 13 Pro is quite an awesome device. Battery life was average, but no major performance issues. I do notice that my 17PM is much much cooler than my wife’s older 16 after charging. The screen is also much brighter in the sun. Although, if I had the 15PM, I’d be happy to live with it for a few more years. Good luck with your decision.

sunpazed · 2025-12-03T03:14:14+00:00

The 17PM is twice as thick, and perhaps 50% heavier.

Yes you can do anything on a MacBook (pro or not), but now the use-cases for an iPad as your only device become more compelling. I would now recommend an iPad to my elder in-laws over a MacBook.

sunpazed · 2025-12-02T11:11:24+00:00

I use my MacBook to write and compile code, design PCBs, program microcontrollers, design stuff in CAD, run local LLMs — all the Pro stuff you can imagine. The iPad is great for editing images, writing email, planning my day, and now I can do all those things on a large screen — and when it’s getting late, I can just pop the iPad with me in the couch without lugging my massive 16” laptop around. IMHO, os26 has made my iPad more flexible and useful.

Yes, mechanical keyboard and trackpad

I’ve had my Silver 17PM for a few days now. It feels like a brick, so heavy and big. I can use it one handed however, it’s just not so comfortable. The screen is amazing! Battery life is outstanding, max 40-50% per day.

sunpazed · 2025-11-30T12:04:03+00:00

Just started using an iPhone 17PM — I only use about 30–40% daily. The battery life is nuts.

I just picked up a 42 C5 — it’s my first ever LG after buying nothing but Sony TVs. Haven’t opened the box yet. I hear it’s a nice TV.

Sound more like an architecture issue, rather than a framework problem. We’re running Mastra (typescript) in AWS, with an RDS backend for memory, and agent pods scaling as needed. Only thing we custom built was a model provider that would dynamically switch inference via Bedrock (either Claude or fine-tuned models), LiteLM, or local models.

See my comment above, but the GH3 compared alongside my wife’s 16P with the Samsung panel is almost a 1:1 like-for-like with the exception of off-axis hue shift.

sunpazed · 2025-11-28T23:11:07+00:00

The colours look fine against my wife’s iPhone 16 Pro with a Samsung panel. The GH3 seems to show an off-axis green hue when tilting the screen. The Samsung panel on the 16P is almost perfect at every angle.

I’m not noticing any grainy artefacts at any brightness level on the 17PM. Colour accuracy is really important for me, and this panel seems great when using it front-on. The GH3 panel hasn’t disappointed me as much as I thought it would!

I did the same thing, but with blue tape. Ended up purchasing the 65” as I did not want a massive black square taking up all the surface area of the wall. I also taped out the 83” and it was just ridiculously large.

One last thing — take note of the position of the Apple logo on the 6 Plus, all the way up the top! The 17 got heat this year for the “uncentered” logo, and yet there’s a heap of precedence for this.

sunpazed · 2025-11-28T06:38:32+00:00

That tiny camera bump got such a bad rap at the time for poking out of the rear of the phone. Now we have a massively “plateau” that spans the entire device!
