   I'm OK with the attribution, but I just didn't like a session URL appearing on a public repo all of a sudden. I was left wondering "did I just leak my private session?" I don't understand why it isn't opt-in. O

   I searched for "times new roman" for some reason, and noticed the whole results page was rendered in that font. I knew there were easter eggs on the page, but I was surprised by the sheer number of them.

   I noticed the same thing with email-decode.min.js on my site. It turns out it's the "Email Address Obfuscation" feature, which I didn't expect to be on by default.

   What I run is one hardened QEMU/KVM VM per project holding the whole dev environment (editors, agents, containers), with nftables on the host allowing internet egress but dropping anything aimed at the host, the LAN, or any other priva

    Thanks. Like you, I'd been running containers inside VMs for a while before the agents. Turns out it's right for them too. Making it IPv4-only simplified the firewall rules and network containment check, and made the boundary easi

    > I stress about my agent sandboxes all the time Same here, so I ended up moving the whole dev environment (editors, agents, containers) inside a hardened QEMU/KVM VM that reaches the internet but has no route to the host, the LAN,

    Posted this because I saw a piece of the cable at the Science Museum in London years ago. It looks like it's still on display in the Information Age gallery: https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co3

    This assumes one-shot generation. I don't use it that way, and I don't think many people who find it useful do. I use it as a colleague I'm drafting with. I'll ask how a sentence lands, tell it to make a paragraph more f

    It's still working for me, but only on the web (desktop) interface.

    Frontier agents are already compressing the dev loop with humans in it, and as the article notes, compression alone can be exponential enough to matter. Walking vs. driving is a nice analogy.

    Nice paper. They predict the outcome of edits up to ~25 steps before the agent makes them. Decodable doesn't mean causal, as the authors note, but a cheap probe that flags doomed trajectories early could save a lot of wasted agent comp
