    Yeah, I saw the same thing - quite annoying. It can be mitigated through the prompt.

    That's not true, pi auto-compacts when getting close to the context window limit?

    Codex CLI was open source from the start. The reason they open sourced this is because grok-build uploaded entire directories.

    No clue, I also vouched.

    I was investigating the design a little. Two big questions: A) You notably don't write a recovery log (WAL/journal) for things not yet flushed, so data can be lost. Do you have pla…

    Making something 50-2000x faster is pointless? Besides that, Rust code is actually much easier to maintain , thanks to type system guarantees.

    Does this support using S3 as the backing store? That would be very powerful for various use cases.

    In my opinion cursor actually has one of the best harnesses again at the moment.

    Of course they will. Right now they want to prevent the US labs from gaining any sort of self-reinforcing oligopoly on the space, and to let the ecosystem in China flourish. That w…

    This is often due to (privacy) extensions disabling canvas/webgl.

    In codex CLI /status works just fine during a turn. Other things don't though.

    I exclusively use thinking mode, which is slower but much more likely to double-check things with web search etc.

    Config based hooks seem to miss the mark though? The per-repo config is in `.git/config`, so that can still not be checked into the repo itself, unless I'm missing something? So no…

    That's in part because many EU countries would like to ship the Syrian refugees back to Syria.

    Any recommendations?

    You shouldn't be downvoted - LLMs could in theory be deterministic, but they currently are not, due to how models are implemented.

    I think many have adopted "spec driven development" in the way you describe. I found it works very well in once-off scenarios, but the specs often drift from the implementation. Ev…

    This doesn't make too much sense to me. * This isn't a language, it's some tooling to map specs to code and re-generate * Models aren't deterministic - every time you would try to …

    Rust has managed just fine to remain mostly backwards compatible since 1.0 , while still allowing for evolution of the language through editions. This puts much more work on the co…

    What context length and related performance are you getting out if this setup? At least 100k context without huge degradation is important for coding tasks. Most "I'm running this …

    Musk is actually a brilliant marketer. He built his companies around a "vision", used it to attract high quality talent and push that talent to give their best. For Tesla it was "e…

    Rust has an interesting crate for this, arc-swap [1]. It's essentially just an atomic pointer that can be swapped out. [1] https://docs.rs/arc-swap/latest/arc_swap/

    Rust has a very strict type system and an ecosystem that often utilizes the type system well. Many things that would only be caught at runtime in other languages are caught at comp…
