I’m not so sure… Claude backtracked on this when they tried it

Agreed. Wrapping token spend is great for pumping your revenue numbers (congrats to them on $60B!), but doesn’t seem sustainable over the long term. Big reason we built https://boxes.dev around the model harnesses (Codex + Claud

As a quick update, the app should be available in the EU now! Sorry about that.

Nice, love the idea of having containers that can work on either local or remote. We may end up reaching out once we start thinking about that. And thanks re: pricing model. It's a start, and we still have a lot of optimizations to go

We're currently running Firecracker VMs in E2B, which separate kernel level isolation. Over the long term, we're open to making it cloud/provider agnostic if you don't like that and want to run in your own cloud. Right n

Oof, I don't think we paid super close attention to the country list when shipping our app. We'll fix this for you, but it might be a few days for things to make it out of review. Really appreciate you trying it out. It's st

Nice -- yeah I definitely think it's possible to get configuration figured out for worktrees, but does require a some setup. Glad you all are in a good place on that front. RE: setup required to make a project ready for VM deployment,

Hahaha, it was a cheap shot :P The fun thing is that in some way it's a bit inaccurate. We auto port-forward ports from the remote machines to your localhost, so you can still just go to localhost:3000 or whatever, and it goes to whate

It's definitely possible to build something like this yourself, but there are a lot of little things we've done that we think add up to a much better UX: - A dedicated app where you can scroll through your thread/chat history

Sorry about that. We should have made that more clear in the post but unfortunately HN doesn't let us edit it anymore. We're just 2 people right now and wanted to ship early. We want to support other platforms over the long term.

Thanks a ton for the feedback. Yeah, this is something we'll try to solve in the long term. One of the things that makes this work really smoothly for setup and speed is the ability to have a template box that you can instantly snapsho

Right now the way you'd do this is you'd select the "Main box" or template VM in the UI, pull up a terminal tab, and authenticate whatever MCPs you care about. These are stored however the MCP is storing them (likely fil

This. Very few people are doing this right now (probably because it sucks having 5 copies of your app running in parallel on your laptop), but in the past few months models have gotten really good at testing your running app live. If you ha

A few angles to this. One is that coding just went through a massive change over the past year, that is not yet fully settled. Remember when everyone insisted on using IDEs and seeing the code with a chat sidebar? It's hard to argue yo

This link implies that the NYT is backtracking about a piece apparently "blaming encryption." The NYT article referenced did not at all focus on encryption, and it didn't go so far as to definitively blame encryption. The onl
