Looks interesting. Quick question - one of the biggest challenges with agentic systems in non-deterministic behaviour. Does this framework do anything to address this? Does it help test and validate agent behaviour?

This is where the governance layer of Orloj fits in. You create policies and attach them to agents/tools which are all governed at runtime. These policies could be token guardrails, tool authority, etc. You can then check all of the traces of a task to have an audit trail for debugging (cli or UI). There are also human in the loop approval features that can be applied to make sure things are working correctly before proceeding on tasks.

Bloody hell - that hits hard

I agree, timelines are fascinating. I did my own research and built a simple visualisation of the changes in time zones over a 120 year period:

Nice visualizations. I went the opposite way, showing how many times the timezones were adjusted for different regions, on map (both with and without DST).

My random claim to fame; I was the support act (juggler) for Norman Lovett (the red dwarf ships computer), for one night only in the Welsh town of Bangor.

What a life I’ve lived.


Yes, I remember him. He briefly had his own show called "I Lovett" or something like that. Also spent time in Bangor back in the mid nineties.


I still spend time in Bangor


One drunken night in the company of Norman Lovett was enough for me :-)


Speaking of which I remember Chris Barrie (who played Rimmer) lamenting some of the filming of Red Dwarf and how he struggled to and gave up on hanging out with Craig Charles (Lister) and Danny John-Jules (Cat) because he'd be tired and ready for bed and they'd just be getting started. And then they'd show up sometimes straight from the clubs to shooting the next morning, or sometimes drunk still, or hungover.


Craig Charles nicked my lighter in Oscar's nightclub in Plymouth in roughly 1991. I wouldn't have minded but it was my Dad's Zippo (RAOC, 7th/11th Armoured Brigade). He asked for a light, wandered off with it and then vanished, whilst I was distracted ahem.


This is a perfect Tommy Saxondale story.


Hmmm. OK.

Chris Barrie's (Rimmer in Red Dwarf) old man was in the (British) army and I remember my parents mentioning they met him at one of their mess dinners.

I could go on 8)


That was probably fine for portraying Listers character to be fair.


The same minion that came up with the cute effect that covers your screen with the word DEVELOPERS, when you scroll to the end of an article?


I didn't read that far. Reminds me of Steve Ballmer:

Was this video part of the training set?


Definitely seemed like a ballmer joke to me, with how it changes size


> Wow, that's an impressive amount of dedication, but I guess you need that if you want to set a world record

Dedication, mmm, dedication. Dedication, that’s what you need. If you want to be the best, and if you want to beat the rest. Dedication way you need.

Hopefully that means something to Brits of a certain age ;-)


Roy Castle!


Bingo! Loved that show


I know it’s a minor point, but it bugs me every time this form pops up…

Captive (noun): a person or animal whose ability to move or act freely is limited by being kept in a space; a prisoner, especially a person held by the enemy during a war.

Not an ideal term to use from a user perspective.


Nice work!

D3fc maintainer here. A few years back we added WebGL support to D3fc (a component library for people building their own charts with D3), allowing it to render 1m+ datapoints:

https://blog.scottlogic.com/2020/05/01/rendering-one-million...


An important point here is that it isnt doing a 1-shot implementation, it is iteratively solving a problem over multiple iterations, with a closed feedback loop.

Create the right agentic feedback loop and a reasoning model can perform far better through iteration than its first 1-shot attempt.

This is very human. How much code can you reliable write without any feedback? Very little. We iterate, guided by feedback (compiler, linter, executing and exploring)


Looking at the commit log, almost every commit references an AI model:

https://github.com/nibzard/awesome-agentic-patterns/commits/...

Unfortunately it isn’t possible to detect whether AI was being used in an assistive fashion, or whether it was the primary author.

Regardless, a skim read of the content reveals it to be quite sloppy!


The flow was, me finding interesting pattern -> Claude ingesting the reference and putting it in a template -> Me figuring out if it makes sense -> push
