I also hate how tmux uses alt mode and can never remember all the shortcuts, copy paste is a PITA and just today I had to look up how to dump the scrollback buffer to a file. Named sessions without window management makes a lot more sense

I haven't had time to make a repo, so I'll just drop this here for you: https://jacobstoner.com/subrepl_mcp.py Just make sure you have the deps installed and add it to CC as a stdio mcp server. Tested on Linux on

Is this satire? You don't need to bend over backwards to use CC/codex. There is a rich ecosystem of options for wiring up LLMs.

Okay, I will :) I'll add a new repo for it, maybe this evening, and I'll reply here with a link.

Ohh, looks interesting, thanks for the tip! Git as db is clever, and the sqlite cache is nice. I'd been sketching sqlite based memory features myself. So much of the current ecosystem is suboptimal just because it's new. The model

Seems everyone is working on the same things these days. I built a persistent Python REPL subprocess as an MCP tool for CC, it worked so insanely well that I decided to go all the way. I already had an agentic framework built around tool ca

I get where you're coming from, especially since role playing was so vital in early models in a way that is no longer necessary, or even harmful; however, when designing a complex system of interactions, there's really no way arou

Funny you should mention this, I just added a simple filesystem sandbox to my coding agent. Check it out: https://github.com/jacobsparts/agentlib/blob/main/src/agentl... The framework is all python,

Is it just me or have all mainstream news agencies suffered a significant loss in quality in recent years? It all seems lazy, opinionated, more like social media and less like old school journalism, less trustworthy... and now they're

I've been seeing AI slop being used as ad-hominem. If I'm writing a couple paragraphs, I'll often run it through a model and ask it to make minimal edits for spelling and grammar. It makes it more readable and saves me time

Love it! It's going on my toolbar. I face the same problem, constantly trying to hunt down the latest pricing which is often changing. I think it's great that you want to add more models and features, but maybe keep the landing

Do we know parameter counts? The reasoning models have typically been cheaper per token, but use more tokens. Latency is annoying. I'll keep using gpt-4.1 for day-to-day.

I break out Gemini 2.5 pro when Claude gets stuck, it's just so slow and verbose. Claude follows instructions better and seems to better understand it's role in agentic workflows. Gemini does something different with the context

I had this thought as well and find it a bit surprising. For my own agentic applications, I have found it necessary to carefully curate the context. Instead of including an instruction that we "may automatically attach", only in

That's true for Flash 2.0 at $0.40/mtok output. GPT-4.1-nano is the same price and also surprisingly capable. I can spend real money with 2.5 flash, with those $3.50/mtok thinking tokens, worth it though. OP is an inference

Your point illustrates exactly why the tension between due process and privacy rights can't be fairly resolved by courts alone, since they have an inherent bias toward preserving their own discovery powers.

They are requiring OpenAI to log API calls that would otherwise not be logged. I trust when OpenAI says they will not log or train on my sensitive business API calls. I trust them less to guard and protect logs of those API calls.

The government's power to compel private companies to preserve citizens' communications needs clear limits. When the law is ambiguous about these boundaries, courts end up making policy decisions that should come from Congress. We

Sure, preservation orders are routine - but this would be like ordering phone companies to record ALL calls just in case some might become evidence later. There's a huge difference between preserving specific communications in a target

A targeted order is one thing, but this applies to ALL data. My data is not possible evidence as part of a lawsuit, unless you know something I don't know.

I think the court overstepped by ordering OpenAI to save all user chats. Private conversations with AI should be protected - people have a reasonable expectation that deleted chats stay deleted, and knowing everything is preserved will chil
