There is no perfect security. It's always flawed in some way. Good security is extremely hard.

I'm in that camp -- I have the max-tier subscription to pretty much all the services, and for now Codex seems to win. Primarily because 1) long horizon development tasks are much m…

I've done this kind of thing many times with codex and sqlite, and it works very well. It's one prompt that looks something like this: - inspect and understand the downloaded data …

Expiries are a defence-in-depth that exist primarily for crypt hygiene, for example to protect from compromised keys. If the private key material is well protected, the risk is ver…

Yes, agreed. In many cases, the determinism is a feature, particularly being able to store the seed for reproducibility.

I've used both gVisor and microvms for this (at very large scales), and there are various tradeoffs between the two. The huge gVisor drawback is that it __drastically_ slows down a…

It's waaay better than GLM 4.7 (which was the open model I was using earlier)! Kimi was able to quickly and smoothly finish some very complex tasks that GLM completely choked at.

It seems to work with OpenCode, but I can't tell exactly what's going on -- I was super impressed when OpenCode presented me with a UI to switch the view between different sub-agen…

I've been using this model (as a coding agent) for the past few days, and it's the first time I've felt that an open source model really competes with the big labs. So far it's bee…

"Economy" doesn't necessarily mean "monetization" -- there are lots of parallel and competing economies that exist, and that we actively engage in (reputation, energy, time, goodwi…
