    I've been running auto-mode for quite a while. The main thing that pushed me over the edge was constantly being prompted in the accept-edits mode because of back ticks or backslash…

    With self-driving agents, the costs stop being evident as you go, and show up after the fact. I've been building governors that slow the agents down, and then also look at odd thin…

    This is one side of the problem: where does your agent show up. And the other side is: where does the agent run And the third side ;-): security. Well done on this bit. I like the …

    Thanks, but I did read the policy. This is what they say: "It's fine to use LLMs to answer questions, analyze, distill, refine, check, suggest, review. But not to create." And late…

    I think LLM policies which ban usage are ultimately self-defeating. They neatly switch concerns about quality of contributions to concerns about "AI slop". These two things are not…

    > Would love to see a 'QM vs Cowork' comparison! It feels like the big thing they are touting here is the shared company brain. Not clear to me though, how that brain is developed …

    Do you mean using open source models via something like OpenRouter, or do you mean self-hosting the models? That self-hosting bit is definitely something I'm interested in, but it …

    For my autonomous agents, I'm using Github Issues as the UI. And yes, I know this is a total abuse of what a github issue is supposed to be. But it's better than spinning up an eph…

    Can you be logged into two accounts at once? It's not the switching, but the different sessions on different accounts that I find myself doing. As some have said, easy enough to bu…

    It's that pesky ban vs enforce ban dichotomy.

    Author here: My first version ran alongside my Claude Code subscription, and pretty much banged through my entire weekly subscription in a couple of days. So I bought a GLM subscri…

    Shipping a lot faster definitely puts a big strain on the QA side of the house. But I'm not at all convinced that things have gotten worse even with "AI slop". CI/CD and releasing …

    Comment #48927708

    I still find it hard to develop harnesses because you can't really test many turns with an llm in the middle. I suppose doing LLM as judge is one way to start to tackle this kind o…

    I feel like in some ways this problem is starting to self-correct, sadly by creating the dead internet. If there's no business model to creating content since it will get scraped, …

    So many comments here talking about the downsides. The only reason to do a rewrite is because there are massive upsides. Maybe the implicit point is that the upside (memory safety …

    Comment #48844130

    Quite a lot of projects are trying this "rewrite to a new language using LLM", both internally, or externally (like is here). For me, they confirm some (slightly controversial) tak…

    Comment #48830323

    This is the real problem with LLMs. There is no way to separate code from data. At best, models could be trained on tokens that indicate untrusted data coming in. But then the untr…

    Comment #48830287

    I mean, I'm guilty too. Claude code scrapes everything in sight whenever I search for something. I've written a small tool to query Github to see if a particular feature has been r…

    Comment #48811678

    Cross platform building and packaging in C/C++ is such a hot mess. There's so many dimensions to unpack I don't even really know where to start. (I say this as the person who has b…

    Same here. Before auto, couldn’t handle the constant stopping because of backslashes no matter how many things I permitted.

    Yeah, that looked pretty cool. But I’m always sceptical of these announcements until I try them.

    Comment #48804445

    Totally agree. And really, we use the llms to be the universal layer, not the harness. It’s already nigh on impossible to eval a harness with multiple turns (at least as far as I’v…

    Fun, seems to be working. Do you have levels? All the games I played seemed to have a static level.

    This is the big question! Is it really sensible to distribute locally running software at all? Maybe this leads to the locked down Mac App Store (and Windows I'm sure)? Apple's bee…
