    The original title was "DeepSeek Harness Desktop app for MacOS and Windows"

    This new title says nothing, we already know deepseek harness from before, this is a new product, an installable app worth differentiating from just "DeepSeek Harness"

    I just installed DeepSeek Harness for MacOS and it's a beast. The same great harness as before but now is an app you just click on your dock to run

    All settings and workspaces are transferred so you don't lose anything, the only thing it lacks is a way to increase/decrease font size with cmd + and cmd - so I'll work on a plugin for that

    I can't be happier

    Edit: Asked DSH for a plugin to increase/decrease font and it delivered. Love it. Then asked for a plugin to ring a bell on questions and tasks finished, of course it delivered flawlessly. The same plugin architecture, extensible by the same AI

      you do can change font size in settings, but not with keyboard shortcut. for some reason, they decided to limit font size to 17 max.

        Do the same as I did, ask it to develop a plugin to increase/decrease font and you will see results in one single task, dsh-zoom as a plugin, restart and done

      Can you elaborate? What's better about it vs. other harnesses? What can it do that others can't?

      I'm not sure what you mean by it's a beast.

        All LLMs work the same to a certain degree, it's a matter of personal preference, token cost and customization. I asked DSH to build a news aggregator for me and it built a really nice app from 30 news sources via rss feeds for less than 50 cents and presto, reading tech news has never been so gratifying

          literally every harness can do that tho, that doesn't really answer the question.

    I wish there was a tool I could use to share my documents, activity, etc. directly with the world's major intelligence agencies.

    A marketplace, where the different intelligence agencies could evaluate the value of my digital stuff and then offer me something (like a $5 gift card to Olive Garden), would be really nice.

      I don't get it

    https://frontierharness.org/ allegedly this is on the Pareto frontier, though I don't know how good of a benchmark this really is. it seems to focus on one-shot type tasks, whereas the real utility of one harness over another seems to make itself known in long running tasks.

    also this is a very limited static snapshot with one model as backend, I wish there were more consistently refreshed and diversified harness benchmarks.

    DSH still in preview but works flawlessly. Update also very quick.

    With the preview of official app, hope team will add remote connection soon.

    Sigh. Yet another harness...

    I'd probably check it out if it was actually called 'YAH Harness' and not [insert Chinese AI lab here] Harness

    My suspicion is that getting a big binary with full permissions is the goal here. Harnesses will only run their companion models and will demand your Contacts list.
