I do this too with the chatgpt mac app. It has a "pop out" feature it binds to option + space then i just ask away.

So what sets T3 above codex ui,opencode,Claude and the other GUI projects for this?

i think the only real strategy is that people take a hit to their standard of living but i don't think anyone will sign up for that.

It would be a lot easier if the global population stabilized at around 1 billion. It's conceivable we could get down to that by bringing 3rd world areas up to 1st world standards in terms of women's rights, access to birth control, education, standard of living, etc., since developed nations have had declining birth rates for quite a while. But it's not a cheap or popular idea & would take several generations anyway.

A lot of things would be easier if 90% of people suddenly disappeared, but there is absolutely no sane scenario in which we actively chase such an unbelievably low population count.

The birth rates are declining in large part because of the expenses and time required to raise a kid these days. If life was perfectly easy for anyone to have a child, then the population increases. So, what - you’re going to kill extra children? Forcibly sterilize most? Purposely make life difficult so people lose interest?

This makes no sense at all.

I didn't propose any of those things you mentioned & am strongly opposed to them. If I were proposing anything, it would be more along the lines of ending theocracies, increasing equality, access to education, birth control & abortion services, & creating a social safety net so people don't have to rely on having as many kids as possible to assist in subsistence farming. But like I said, none of this is a popular goal - especially not among billionaires or the global south - so my comment was more of an idle musing than anything resembling a proposal.

I know you didn't propose those things - I'm saying they are going to be required in order to force the population to stay at an unreasonably low 1 billion people on Earth forever

They don’t need to sign up for it. It will happen regardless.

They'll just continue blaming immigrants.

The immigrants who fled from the natural disasters in their country of origin caused by climate change.

its just a different attack surface for safari they would need to blackbox attack the browser which is much harder than what they did her

What? The js engine in Safari is open source, they can put Claude to work on it any time they want.

Here's a rough break down, formatted best I can for HN:

  Safari (closed source)
   ├─ UI / tabs / preferences
   ├─ macOS / iOS integration
   └─ WebKit framework (open source) ~60%
        ├─ WebCore (HTML/CSS/DOM)
        ├─ JavaScriptCore (JS engine)
        └─ Web Inspector

There's much more to a browser than JS engine.

They picked to most open-source one.

WebKit is not open source?

Sure there are closed source parts of Safari, but I'd guess at least 90% of safari attack surface is in WebKit and it's parts.

In many cases, the difference between a bug and an attack vector lies in the closed source areas.

This is going to be the case automating attack detection against most programs where a portion is obscured.

>In many cases, the difference between a bug and an attack vector lies in the closed source areas.

You say many cases, let's see some examples in Safari.

However, Firefox also needs to use the closed source OS when running on Windows or macOS.

There are also WebKit-based Linux browsers, which obviously do not use closed-source OS interfaces.

My pessimistic guess on reasoning is that they suspected Firefox to have more tech debt.

Apple is not the kind of company that typically does these things, even if the entire Safari is open source.

The age verification applies to using their account/ai not the editor itself.

I'm not in the habit of giving mice cookies.

I have been using remotely save and a free bucket from backblaze. It as a s3 compatible api so works using the s3 feature.

I'm doing the same since this is the only method I found I can let my bot access the files, something I couldn't achieve with Obsidian Sync.. until now!

How is remotely save obsidian plugin mentioned only once here? I set it up with a OneDrive I was already using anyway to host and sync my vault there. I have it set up and synced on 4 devices with 4 different os (win11, macos, ios, android) and it works great and is free.

This is why tutorials in programming don't really teach much because you get the finished version. Not all the wrong steps that were taken, why they failed, what else was tried.

These steps are what help you solve other issues in the future.

so foreign mass surveillance is all good?

could we not instruct the LLM to run build commands in a sub agents which could then just return a summary of what happened?

this avoids having to update everything to support LLM=true and keep your current context window free of noise.

Make (or whatever) targets that direct output to file and returns a subset have helped me quite a bit. Then wrap that in an agent that also knows how and when to return cached and filtered data from the output vs. rerunning. Fewer tokens spent reading output details that usually won't matter, coupled with less context pollution in the main agent from figuring out what to do.

q() { local output output=$("$@" 2>&1) local ec=$? echo "$output" | tail -5 return $ec }

There :)

That would achieve 1 of the 3 wins.

If you use a smaller model for the sub agent you get all three

Of course you can combine both approaches for even greater gains. But Claude Code and like five alternatives gaining an efficient tool-calling paradigm where console output is interpreted by Haiku instead of Opus seems like a much quicker win than adding an LLM env flag to every cli tool under the sun

Probably the main one, people mostly complain about context window management rather than token usage

Dunno about that. Having used the $20 claude plan, I ran out of tokens within 30 minutes if running 3-4 agents at the same time. Often times, all 3-4 will run a build command at the end to confirm that the changes are successful. Thus the loss of tokens quickly gets out of hand.

Edit: Just remembered that sometimes, I see claude running the build step in two terminals, side-by-side at nearly the same time :D
