I research tools I don't understand, then explain them. Terminal · Neovim · Omarchy · Grok Build · Rust.

What goes into @omarchy? Omarchy is Arch Linux set up with 8 layers, from disk to desktop: Btrfs, systemd, pacman and the AUR, PipeWire, Wayland, Hyprland, Qt/QML and Quickshell. The video builds the stack bottom up, then shows 4 ways the pieces connect.

🤖 Grok Bot 1.0.1 is out! • On Team, Enterprise, and Ultra plans, a Bot can join a Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams call from a link, answer in the meeting chat, and send a summary afterward • Owners and Managers can share their own app login as a shared connector (Team) • A Bot's Voice menu has a Speed slider from 0.5x to 2x • Files up to 250 MB on the Bot's computer no longer make a reply fail

How do you build your own widget in the @omarchy bar? I've been exploring some widget ideas and man oh man is it fun! What would you build for yours?

Shell Plugins - Omarchy Manual

Shell Plugins - Omarchy Manual

The Omarchy desktop runs as a single long-lived Quickshell process called omarchy-shell, and almost everything you see on screen is a plugin inside it.…

Replying to @o_devvy @omarchy
Good: • No edits to Omarchy itself • Save a file and it reloads • omarchy plugin validate checks it like the shell does • omarchy plugin clone copies a built-in to start from Catches: • They run unsandboxed with your user's access • Your plugin gets a narrower API than built-ins

How it works: a plugin is a folder in ~/.config/omarchy/plugins with a manifest.json and QML (Qt's UI language). Quickshell, which draws the desktop, runs it.

Omarchy 4.6 is not just leaning into local AI, but will let you share any model running on any Omarchy machine on your tailnet with another. Get a DGX Spark, then run inference from your XPS13 netbook. Sharing is caring.

Great announcement regarding Grok4.8 imo. Reminds me of the Raptor rocket evolution. What do you guys think?

We have dumped JAX/SGLang and rewritten the entire RL and inference stack from scratch in C/C++, which took some extra time. Training (aka pre-training) is done. Lot of cleanup was needed on the SFT data to get that mostly right. Now, 4.8 is in RL and the evals are starting to climb. We will do a soft rollout to Bot users later this week and see how it goes. Grok 4.8 will bear no resemblance to 4.7 (thankfully). It is not yet incredible, but, this time, the foundations are built right, so I expect it to evolve to be something special.

I've been updating TypingTim, my Monkeytype coaching grok @bot . The next version gives its ~20-minute sessions a clear stopping point: two cool-down rounds, then you're finished. Speed targets still adjust based on accuracy. Do you practise for a set time, or until you hit a score? x.ai/bot/u-KR9qMNl9ChthaGeM6…

Also this week: • Shift+Enter inserts a newline in VS Code and Kitty terminals • Permission rules that don't load warn when a session opens • Shell approval cards say when Auto-review blocked a command • Left on an empty prompt opens the dashboard

⌨️ Grok Build 1.0.77 (stable) is out! • Vim editing in the prompt (experimental): set [keys] vim = "all" • grok --resume <id> opens much faster on large session stores • New [ui] kitty_keyboard = "query" lets Shift+Enter insert newlines in unidentified terminals @build

Also in 1.0.77: • Hooks accept "failClosed": true, so a timed-out or crashed hook denies the call instead of going ahead • Long sessions use less memory • MCP tools built with FastMCP or the official MCP SDK send their result once, using about half the context • Gruvbox dark theme (gruvbox-dark-hard)
