    Yes, pi's works a bit better since it exposes the whole tree to you, but in the simple case of forking to a new conversation it is about the same as Cursor and probably other codin…

    Comment #49182870

    I disagree on plan and todo-list, which seem relatively not needed to me. No comment on goals/looping, which I don't have much experience with. To me it's great how minimal the sys…

    There is a keybindings file. Here's how to configure the "emacs" keybindings https://pi.dev/docs/latest/keybindings#emacs-example It starts up for me in under a second on my M4 mac…

    According to the Artificial Analysis benchmark graph in the article, Luna can now outperform Sonnet 5 and Opus 5 low at ~4-10x less cost

    Use Luna. It's more performant than 5.5 and it's cheap. Hopefully it's cheap because it's more environmentally friendly than the bigger models. So you're doing a good thing. If it'…

    Decent sandbox + sandbox override experience with pi coding agent... pi-sandbox uses the same sandbox tech that claude code uses, although it uses a fork that's a little behind, an…

    Regarding the photos, the "storage scope" feature on Graphene should make that a non-issue. Microphone would be rough, but at least you would see a "microphone icon" show up on the…

    Here's why I use Cursor. My company pays for it, although I could switch to Claude Code or use Codex more since I also have ChatGPT enterprise account. * Perhaps could be solved wi…

    The article does say > No human in the loop If true, it's quite irresponsible. They are admitting to allowing a agent to autonomously execute code on the network. Autonomously perf…

    For directed coding (implementing an already specified plan) or asking questions about a codebase I use 5.3 codex with medium reasoning effort. It is relatively quick feeling. I li…

    I've been using 5.1-codex-max with low reasoning (in Cursor fwiw) recently and it feels like a nice speed while still being effective. Might be worth a shot.

    We spend ~$20,000 per month in AWS for the product I work on. In the average day we do not launch an EC2 instance. We do not do any dynamic scaling. However, there are many scenari…

    FYI, you can get a pixel 8a for $200 or less if you don't care about condition. Support end date in 2031.

    I run with the dangerous option on my work computer. At first I was thinking I would be good if I just regularly kept full disk backups. But my company at least pays lip service to…

    No the comment meant that aider and Claude code are CLI programs, so if you can run a terminal in your niche editor, then you are good to go

    It's pretty easy if you just use the MCP Python library. You just put an annotation on a function and there's your tool. I was able to do it and it works great without me knowing a…

    Firefox has a "reader view" which works well for things like that.

    Hi, I appreciate you sharing. I've been starting to use this advice with a different tool. Just FYI, this sentence kind of came out of nowhere and it wasn't clear what you meant: >…

    I've also heard that THCA breaks down into THC over time, so maybe there's a chance that when it's shipped it's compliant with the Hemp bill, but some time later if the cops seize …

    Doesn't help that the post didn't define their definition of devops, and then they went on to use it in a variety of contexts, seemingly contradictory. As someone who is a software…

    I recently had GPT 3.5 write me a function for translating the number under point to an ISO timestamp. It handled whether the epoch number was milliseconds or seconds since epoch. …

    What interface are you using? I've so far only used ChatGPT through the web interface. (I pay for plus). I just ask it for things that are standalone snippet-like things. Perfect f…
