Someone brings this up on just about every AI-related thread. I think it's nonsense. Nobody wants to maintain a fork of any remotely complex software, not even with AI. And in a co…

That likely isn't as relevant for on-device iPhone usage as it is for Real Work™. I won't notice the difference between 50tps and 1000tps when asking Siri a question.

There's no reason you couldn't present a GUI over an SSH connection. Whether the agent is running locally or remotely is orthogonal to the type of interface used.

I'm not confusing anything since you can't use custom harnesses with your Claude subscription—you have to use Claude Code. So as far as the Claude sub is concerned, the models and …

They're not as good. I've tried all the options available a couple months ago, and none of them feel nearly as polished as Cursor. For one thing, Cursor Tab is just far better than…

> the results are much better than clowning on bloated CC. I won't argue with the cost effectiveness, but the results are very much not better. Opus and Fable are in a different le…

The problem is that companies tend to exaggerate their own scale and think they need k8s and dedicated infra people when they could get by with a handful of beefy VMs or dedicated …

I haven't used them but aren't they basically modernized Heroku? What's different?

This seems like an arbitrary line to draw. Should your photo viewing software also not provide editing tools? If it's useful, why not?

It depends. For something high stakes or inherently complex, sure, you don't want to have to clean up the agent's mess afterwards. But for many tasks like building web UIs, the dif…

Once you've used a model that runs at hundreds of TPS, it's hard to go back. Everything completes so quickly that you can iterate without breaking out of flow state. My biggest gri…

The system prompt and available tools would likely only change for different agent types. So how they're launched probably doesn't matter. I say this as I don't actually know how C…

Yes, Codex has its own sandbox which you can disable: https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/sandboxing?surface=app Cursor has something similar. I don't know about Claude Code but I assum…

Compared to the primary agent, maybe. But it's highly unlikely that all the agents have different tools and system prompts than each other, and those account for the bulk of the co…

You cannot; you must use either their Devin Desktop app or the Devin CLI.

But they don't appear to subsidize them to the same degree. I've only been using Devin for less than a month, but I've been hitting the limits of the $20/month plan way more quickl…

But that 10% is the most important part! Getting the plumbing wrong means you might have bugs or your code is brittle. Getting the domain-specific business logic wrong means your p…

Ironically, Devin Desktop is one of those tools. It supports any harness that supports ACP (which is most of them)—you can use Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, etc from the Devin Desk…

But some requirements you don't realize you have until you start building. With a fast model, you can surface those really quickly and have more time to iterate and explore differe…

The regular one (not the fast variant) is free but slow. The "Lightning" variant (which uses Cerebras and gets supposedly 1000 TPS) costs $12.50/M output, $2.5/M input, $1/M cached…

The "Lightning" (Cerebras) variant isn't free, only the regular one, which runs closer to 50 TPS in my experience with SWE 1.6.

That's not why Elm is an ideal language for LLMs: it's because, if it compiles, it's most likely working software. Agentic workflows have gotten significantly better over the last …

> asking an LLM to reverse engineer and make your own plugin is trivial. If you already have engineers on staff, a few tens (or even hundreds) of dollars per month per plugin is li…

At least 3 times a month. I have a rental property and my tenant prefers to mail a check instead of paying extra to pay electronically. My spouse gets paid by check for dumb reason…

> Also why do you need bank app on your phone? Many banks gate features like mobile check deposit behind the native app. The nearest ATM is 20 minutes away from my house, so unfort…
