What do you gain by having multiple repos?

John McPhee talks about a similar model for the Mississippi River in “The Control of Nature” Well worth a read. Fun stories about Hawaii and Los Angeles too, iirc.

The UK grid does not import 44% of its energy. Gell-Mann suggests I should treat the rest of your post with skepticism. EDIT: maybe you meant the UK total primary energy? I feel li…

What API/approach does it use to edit sheets? I made a CLI (+skill) so agents could edit files with verbs like `insert A1:A3 '[1,2,3]'`, but did some evals and found it underperfor…

I deliberately didn't mention this because I think most of the pain with Github over the last year is probably caused to some degree by their scale, which seems like an unrelated i…

If anyone from Astral sees this: at this level of effort, how do you deal with the enormous dependence on Github itself? You maintain social connections with upstream, and with PyP…

I’m surprised it works for you with such a simple config? I’m the one that added the allowRead option to Claude’s underlying sandbox [0] and had quite a job getting my toolchains a…

Interesting, that's not been my experience! Maybe you've got the list of things to allow/block just right. While testing different policies I've frequently seen Opus 4.6 go absolut…

How do agents tend to deal with getting blocked? Messing around with sandboxes, I've quite even seen them get blocked, assume something is wrong, and go _crazy_ trying to get aroun…

There is sandbox-runtime [1] from Anthropic that uses bubblewrap to sandbox on Linux (and works the same as OP on macOS). You can look at the code to see how it uses it. Anthropic'…

I guess you don't get the luxury of being opinionated enough to say: forget your old data. Anyway great write-up, even though I'm sure it's painful having to run this system on top…

How does this work with self-hosting? Is the assumption that self-hosters won’t run into this problem? For most use-cases I’d probably prefer to just delete the payloads some time …

I got pi to write me a very basic sandbox based on an example from the pi github. Added hooks for read/write/edit/bash, some prompts to temp/perm override. Have a look, copy-paste …

The people pushing oh-my-pi seem to have missed the point of pi... Downloading 200k+ lines of additional code seems completely against the philosophy of building up your harness, l…

I'd say it's the idea/fact/feeling that, in 2026, agency matters more than skill/wisdom/intelligence. Long read on the topic (quite funny, covers Cluely): https://harpers.org/archi…

It means the marginal cost to sell another subscription is lower than what they sell it for. I don't know if that's true, but it seems plausible.

This is super interesting framing. I’m definitely a completer, not that I like much about Slack. Probably useful to have this kind of discussion before/while making knowledge manag…

Out of interest, what control plane do you use for a Hetzner/metal setup? Kubernetes ecosystem? I use Coolify for side projects, haven’t investigated whether I’d want to use it for…

I wasn't able to find any imagery online, and I don't have anything I can share publicly. These are some of the existing commercial solutions (just found these on Google, can't rem…

Might not be possible to find any, they’re expensive and niche. If you reach out (email in profile) I can show/share how it works (nothing currently public).

I did something similar once for a mining technique called “core logging”. It’s a single photo about 1000 pixels wide and several million “deep”: what the earth looks like for a fe…

To be fair, your comment didn't add much either. Their main criticisms of Python were: > it is slow, its type system is significantly harder to use than other languages, and it's h…

I’m just a casual observer of this thread, but I think you’d find it worthwhile to read up a bit on zero-copy stuff. It’s ~impossible in Python (because you don’t control memory) a…

peewee is nice, but I can't write un-typed Python anymore, so it's not an option for me.
