    EFS is extremely slow for many workloads. We tried it for builds and various other common use cases for coding agents and the performance just isn't there. I'm guessing lots of sma…

    > MicroVMs support up to 8 hours of total runtime Does this mean you effectively can't use them as long-lived developer environments? It sounds like even if you suspend them, this …

    Two years? That exists right now. You only have to point Codex Security at an open source repo. There are a lot of tools and companies that are spinning up today that do autonomous…

    You can get a taste of this today yourself with Codex Security. I turned it on just as an experiment and in less than a week it has now become essential to all of us. I was shocked…

    What? There are three flags flying in my street alone and I'm in the middle of the liberal bay area.

    I'm not quite understanding your project. What is the use case? Is this so I can package up an existing terminal app as a dedicated desktop app? If so that actually sounds really c…

    I feel like pricing needs to be included here. I kind of don't care about 10 percentage points if the cost is dramatically higher. Cursor Bugbot is about the same cost but gives 10…

    They aren't just building "a lot" of renewables and nuclear, they are building an absolutely mind boggling amount of it. Last year it was more than the rest of the world combined! …

    I didn't say China isn't doing anything. They are rolling out a mind boggling amount of clean energy right now. More than any other country by far. It's honestly incredible scale. …

    That’s a really great point. Maybe their emission curve is what matters. It’s the measure of if they are investing enough into reducing emissions despite their production needs.

    Qatar emits FAR more than the US per capita, but the total emissions are extremely small. The impact on the climate is tiny comparatively.

    This is one of the places where per capita doesn't matter as much as total emissions. We have one planet. The yearly total and cumulative matters the most. China is by far the lead…

    I signed up and tried it with Cursor. It is very close, but still has a lot of rough edges that make it hard to switch: * Once in Cursor I can't click on modified files or lines an…

    Thanks, I'll give it a shot. I wish your site would show me what it actually looks like. It's a lot of words and fancy marketing images and I have no feel for the product. It leave…

    PRs work well for what they are. Ship off some changes you're strongly confident about and have another human who has a lot of context read through it and double check you. It's fo…

    What you're describing feels like the next major evolution and is likely years away (and exciting!). I'm mainly aiming for a good experience with what we have today. Welding an AI …

    This is possibly what I want? It's hard to tell from all of the marketing on the site. I want to run a prompt that operates in an isolated environment that is open in my IDE where …

    Comment #45649400

    Yes, but my point is often times I don't want to. Sometimes there are changes I can make it seconds. I don't want to wait 15+ seconds for an AI that might do it wrong or do too muc…

    I feel like these background agents still aren't doing what I want from a developer experience perspective. Running in an inaccessible environment that pushes random things to bran…

    I wasn't really referring to env. I meant change the behavior of uvx. If the first argument passed to uvx is a file path, then execute it exactly the same way as `uv --quiet run --…

    I really wish that hashbang line was something way WAY easier to remember like `#!/usr/bin/env uvx`. I have to look this up every single time I do it.

    In some places, yes. South Korea is expected to shrink by 15M in the next 50 years, and to cut in half by 2100. Even with immediate drastic improvements in birth rate, it is expect…

    Not sure why you are being downvoted. It's an interesting thought. I will add that us having children completely erased the desire to get a dog. We almost got one just before our f…

    Doesn't this study say that it had a very low impact? > they led to a permanent reduction of approximately 8,000 births in the same year, and 145,000 fewer births since 1980
