    $100/month * 12 months is 1200/year. Yeah, normal working people even in the USA don't have that extra money to spend. And let's be realistic: anyone doing the "greenhouse" method …

    It depends on what you mean by "unsupervised" - I've been strictly working through the agent, through specs the entire time, but it's been very supervised, I just leave the mistake…

    I did calculations on the prefix cache effect on costs of sessions where I used it and found that the removal of tokens from context had a much bigger effect on reducing costs than…

    I agree. Compaction sucks, so I made tools that let the LLM selectively delete (and recall if needed) chunks of its context. You might want to try context bonsai if you're routinel…

    You don't desire to brush your teeth (at least not in the way that you desire to consume calorie-dense foods). But you manage to still do it anyway. (maybe not you specifically, bu…

    Hm. I'll have to rethink how I do context management ( https://github.com/Vibecodelicious/context-bonsai-agents#con... )

    Yes, also happening more or less continually instead of waiting for the context to bloat up. You also have some control over it. You can say something like "prune away the work we …

    I'm working on [Context Bonsai][1] - LLM harness tools that allow the LLM to prune messages out of the context, leaving behind a summary and keywords instead. In addition to a "pru…

    I love OpenCode! I wrote a plugin that adds two tools: prune and retrieve. Prune lets the LLM select messages to remove from the conversation and replace with a summary and key ter…

    I'm using Fedora with KDE and I haven't seen any notifications and had no idea it did this. I'll see if I can figure out what's going on in my system and maybe it will help other p…

    I am one of those people who love VR gaming done well. There is a game called Super Rumble built by what I think is a subsidiary of Meta. It's a very well executed arena FPS concep…

    I'm working on "context bonsai" which is currently a plugin for OpenCode that allows the LLM to self-edit its own context. It works like compaction, but it can retrieve back the co…

    Comment #47256500

    I mostly use LLMs in a zero-touch way - I never actually edit code and I almost never read it. But I do still dive into the details by exploring it with targeted questions through …

    When they blocked OpenCode, I was in the middle of adding a feature. I don't think it's possible to mimic CC in an undetectable way and have the feature work. The feature allows th…

    They even block Claude Code of you've modified it via tweakcc. When they blocked OpenCode, I ported a feature I wanted to Claude Code so I could continue using that feature. After …

    "selected" and "highlighted" would also be useful

    Comment #47000196

    There is so much work we can do with harnesses that can make the already existing models so much more capable. I definitely feel the author's frustration as I've also been working …

    Yes - I think there is untapped potential into figuring out how to understand and use the latent space. I'm still at the language layer. I occasionally stumble across something tha…

    Comment #46942001

    Yes, I have already made deliberate cache decisions and plan to do more once it's working the way I imagine. I think the trimmed down context will have way bigger effect than the c…

    I'm working on lots of projects. My favorite is what I call "context bonsai" where I'm giving LLM harnesses the ability to surgically edit the context. It's available as a tool. Yo…

    I think this is a valuable direction for research to take. I suspect human emotion is represented in the training data and that there is some underlying model representing human em…

    I've found this orchestrator+reviewer+judge setup to yield much better results than anything else I've tried. And it's such a simple setup - a few markdown files. I'm also creating…

    That's so strange. I found GPT to be abysmal at following instructions to the point of unusability for any direction-heavy role. I have a common workflow that involves an orchestra…
