Fair play; I got too personal here. Apologies.

My approach to this has been a NixOS host with the harness running in a rootless podman sidecar. The host has squid configured with a self-signed CA and networking rules to route all host traffic to the intercepting proxy, so I have a tight

That’s been the pitch of Slate Auto, which is supposed to release its standard model at the end of this year. https://www.slate.auto/en Unfortunately, they’ve been suspiciously quiet since their initial announcement, but fi

Not OP, but having explored the field a good bit, Openrouter + pi harness in a devcontainer work great as a sane starting point. Highly recommend as a clean way to try out the upstart models.

This is a horrendously bad-faith take. You know full well it’s *not* just a one-off $200 issue: they treat customers like this at scale. Don’t pretend this is an isolated matter, or that CS/billing is the only arena where Anthropic has

What people typically mean by the GP statement is that the “thinking” mode of these models is loosely analogous to what humans do: a bit of a retrograde reconstruction of how we arrived at a gestalt conclusion that sounds good, but may not

Obligatory warning that PSL is led by full-blown tankies, and e.g., have an explicit pro-North Korea party line. That said, the membership base is pointedly heterogeneous in belief and they’re the most active alt-left element in DC. Make of

Ah jeez, I was missing that detail. Yeah that’s messed up. I skimmed by the “what gets sent” table and thought the bash telemetry was gated by the prompt-related opt-in behavior. Thanks for the correction!

Cmon now — I’m a rabid privacy nut but this is unfair given the context of: > Prompt telemetry is opt-in and off by default. The hook asks once; if you don't answer, session-end cleanup marks it as disabled. We don't collect p

Exactly the sort of user hostility I’d expect from a google employee. Shameful. Maybe if practical tools such as like-ratios were in place users could sort good content from bad.

Internet or not, I post under my real name on here, and I fully stand by my words. Anything I say on here, I’m 100% willing to say to someone’s face. We can link up for coffee or a beer next time I’m in CA if you’d like, and I’ll prove it.

It’s not about bigco at all in my eyes. At the end of the day, if you want intellectual curiosity and openness, bad-faith dishonesty needs to be weeded out; thought-provoking and honest conversation should be promoted, regardless of where t

GP did not personally attack or denigrate the person they were replying to. As the dozens of other comments show, the overwhelming majority of us do not believe the root commentors claims, and this PM quite objectively does not have the lev

Sure looks to me like this whole case is Claude Code chasing its own tail, failing to debug, and offering to instead generate a bug report for the user when it can't figure out a better way forward. Maybe even submitting the bug report

I haven’t had a Windows box in about 8 years, but even back then all the big names had consistently better performance on Linux. Usually about a 10-20% fps improvement for my usual fare in those days: League, Overwatch, Civ5, Minecraft, Cru

What stability, reliability, and performance problems are you hitting with Atuin? I posted a longer comment upthread, but I’ve been self-hosting and running an old version for over two years now, and haven’t had any recurring problems on th

Not to detract from your point, but I decided Atuin was feature complete enough for my liking over two years ago, and have been running the last v17 release ever since with zero problems. You can still keep everything you like about the too

I’m plenty calm. There’s just nothing to debate here: the blog post and repo are a conscious, deliberate, and egregious misrepresentation of fact. I would absolutely say exactly the same things to the author’s face as I’m saying right now.
