   It's trivial to build a wrapper script to emulate `claude -p` with full PTY without Claude knowing. Good old screen scraping to the rescue. This new cat and mouse game is perhaps a sign of the times...

   honest question: what use case requires cold starts below 100ms, considering TTFT of major LLMs are in the 300+ms range? presumably sandbox will be driven by an agentic loop, so.. you’re still bottlenecked by what essentially amounts to net

   I don't get it. You mention being able to choose your own JS engine, so it's not using Wasmer's WebAssembly implementation but that of the chosen JS engine's? In other words, can Edge.js use Wasmer? Or have you managed t

    I've built the same thing twice, first with Firecracker microVM, and second time using containers (gVisor). While the microVM route is more secure, it's more complicated and ops are tricky, but you can do some cool things to optim

    I was using Zed up until a few months ago. I got fed up with the entire AI panel being an editable area, so sometimes I ended up clobbering it. I switched to Cursor, but now I don't "trust" the the editor and its undo stack,

    Two months ago, I started exploring how LLMs can securely run arbitrary code. Since then, we've seen Manus and others build code inside sandboxes and I believe there are some YC startups in this space, too! I wrote a blog post [1] abou

    Last month, I started playing around with code sandboxes and how LLMs might interface with them and wrote a little blog post about it [1]. I then took the code and vibe coded my way to a multi-tenant (untested!) sandboxing server that lets

    Yeah, I always thought MCP was a bit verbose. It reminds me of the WSDL and SOAP mess of the 2000s. Model tool calls are just RPCs into some other service, so JSON-RPC makes sense. Is there anything else has wide adoption and good client su

    thanks for the link, Sydbox seems like a super cool project, but there's something weird about it: too many links in the README. not on GitHub, and the project that's on GitHub with a similar name hasn't had a commit in 16 ye

    Thanks for the feedback! You're right, there are many assumptions in my head about what the product is intending to be, and looks like I need to be more explicit in the marketing materials :) Right, it'll be tricky to compete with

    The main difference is that ExecAPI is intended for running periodic or triggered background tasks, and you're not limited to JavaScript or Wasm code running on just V8. You can run any Docker container as a background job; mix and mat
