The negative comments, including the one I'll make here, are from fans who want the game to be more than it is and see the potential but continually get disappointed with its biggest flaw. That flaw is that for all the features they bo

Your comment is slightly reminiscent of the response to dropbox when it was first announced on HN.

How will that be possible with the Confidential VM version?

You can. The point of having your agent keep track of it is that it will likely notice things you won't, and it can automate cataloging it with relevant metadata (prompts, environment, examples, etc.) that make it trivial to automate r

I wish there were a clear and easy way to identify these small services owned by PE, who often go out of their way to avoid people finding out. Usually I find out by noticing symptoms of worsening quality, costs increasing more than I might

Being a programmer has always meant dealing with abstraction layers and climbing up the abstraction ladder. You are simply learning a new language, whose syntax happens to look like English (or whatever language you speak), but with new, un

True, but they're still friction to be reduced here. What I desperately want is for 1password or stripe or even Google who already has much of my data, to o come up with a secure solution for online purchases with agentic credit cards

One suggestion is to make a list or make a skill to have your agent keep a list of things you do not feel work well with today's models. And then, when new models come out, periodically, revisit items on that list to see if you get bet

I consider myself fairly AI native. I was absolutely blown away by how frictionless it felt the other day interfacing with codex using the experimental headless app server on my VPS and using voice mode on my phone connected to it while I h

You can have OpenRouter filter for ZDR providers. There are nuances like contractual ZDR vs technical ZDR but definitely worth investigating

As someone who uses ChatGPT and Codex across desktop and phone and VPS, the current topology they have for their different "apps" is very confusing and disjointed. I would really like to see improvements in unifying this and redu

It also was because it became a target to influence and manipulate people both by every day scammers and marketers as well as nation state level actors.

Yeah, I think if we reframed it as "why is there no consumer AWS?" It would make more sense. AI is a utility that can abstract code to such a high level it is indiscernible from natural language.

Don't forget also letting them dictate the route you drive while you are increasingly blindfolded till you arrive and then find out you need to tell them to drive you to your correct destination again because they drove you across town

For individual use without specially negotiated Enterprise stuff I can't afford both offer contractual assurances of not using your data for training or ads and measurement and selling your data. But these are not the same level of tec

Debugging any LLM output when you also have done substantial harness engineering is a total pita and I wish there were better tools for it to isolate issues. I spent ages tracking down start appears to be an issue with the current Deepseek

I needed this. I had no idea it existed. I have bent over backwards trying to enforce brevity with deepseek v4 flash to the point where I think I broke some things trying to do prompt injection in my Hermes setup and was still unsuccessful.

Could memories and blocks of context be made pluggable and unpluggable in this manner to "hot swap" context?

Specifically, I want to use the ChatGPT Android app to use it like I would a desktop remote control session. It is a nice mobile interface. I do not want to have to use a mobile terminal app like Termius. The UX is awful.

I already have that effectively via pinning Fireworks on Openrouter. I am unclear how this would solve the architecture issue I raised though.

Love the post and have a similar setup. But I have questions about how you handle sensitive personal info with Codex and Claude with this setup given Hermes has no boundaries on its own with its integrations with Codex for example. It can l

It is great for getting aggregate insights about the privacy and security picture of model providers. For example if you want zero data retention and US -based hosting you can find that easily. You will not find that through Deepseek.

Am I understanding correctly that I still can't run a headless session on my VPS in a way that let's me use remote control for a better 1st party mobile experience that doesn't require my laptop to be awake? I really don&#x27

Are there any Android remote terminal apps that don't suck on mobile? Termius is painful.

I felt that way initially. It is also a headache when you invest a lot in that and need to continually test ripping that stuff out as new models come out. Or in the case of opus 5, Anthropic says ditch it entirely and trust it. But there is
