Oh, other day I was asking Claude to get a onetime code from my PocketID VM, I was being lazy and I was asking it to open the website, generate the authentication code from there and then type it into a built in browser. And it just refused to do it. I couldn't convince it to do it, even though it was all my own infrastructure And essentially, we were doing a security theater because the website that it was trying to authenticate to was the one it had just published itself behind my internal trafefic instance, lol. I ended up having Codex do it. Codex had no compunctions about it.

Mainframes with punchcards FTW, lol! This seems onerous to the point of it being almost like a security as a hobby.

But Claude Code and Codex and the rest of tui harnesses are also very good at just typing in each other's panes basically when I need to send a message over. It's been working for almost a year now. I have been more intrigued by T3 code or something similar, just to be able for harnesses to message across machines.

The whole point of having always on machines is you can close your laptop and the rest of the work keeps on going. Like you can leave home and work keeps on keeping on. I've been doing that for like 30 years. In combination, especially if you have a good laptop, then you can have best of the both worlds.

Dude, it worked for a billion people in China, lol.

I grew up under communism. I don't like or don't care for communism, but I can't dispute that China lifted a huge number of people out of a warlord torn mess and misery. To some extent, Soviets did the same to Russian peasants, but of course, it got perverted along the way. But all things considered, I would take communism under soviets to being a serf under the Tsar.

Yeah, now some future LLM from Google is a partner in your conversation, lol. "This call may be monitored or recorded for quality assurance and training purposes, and for future llm training"

tmux is still nice for remote work And it's even nicer when you want to have a different harnesses communicate with each other. I typically have a group of them working on the same thing, and typically it is Codex, Claude Code, and Pi. Sometimes I include agy if I need some Google specific capability, and it's very easy for them to communicate. I basically evolved something like a poor man's version of Claude Code's new projects But the nice thing is that I can have different coding harnesses other than cc working on a specific tasks.

Yeah, I had the same issues. I just ended up paying for Brave and Exa. It's literally like, at my volumes, a couple bucks here and there. Nothing to really think about at all. I am a heavy user of AI, but it self-hosted AI, but still the volumes have nothing to worry about. But I'm not trying to scrape Web or anything like that.

I wouldn't be surprised if the next version of Opus or whatever Anthropic has just eliminates these capabilities. I mean, we got DMCA shoved down our throats. What's stopping them from doing something similar again, I mean, we have a 70 or 70+ year copyright laws now, lol!

Exactly, the whole discussion is about this guy's AI slop instead of what he did. It's ridiculous. On the other hand, it's kind of expected by now.

do you have ultra plan? it says regular sub doesn't have it.

I would probably run qwen 27B or qwen fn but I would run the actual inference on one of my other boxes and not on actual desktop so initially it could be sufficient if you just enabled openai or anthropic compatible endpoint.

Cool thing is that I can just ask the llm to modify the harness to what I need. I discovered this daemon thing about two weeks ago and had codex modify it's own custom launcher that I have to bypass the daemon thing. If as a recreational code farmer can do it then most "pros" should be able to handle this and other inconveniences. Cc has been pushing that no scrolling feature that codex recently introduced for a half a year now but again I had them put a stop to that. Software has never been this easy to configure.

The one thing about the Bluetooth microphones is that there is this annoying lag that it's very hard to get used to, even when using AirPods which you think would be optimized for this. It's just untenable in my opinion because I could never get used to the 3-400 millisecond delay that I had to deal with. I ended up using simple Apple wired headphones as my go-to solution eventually. They actually produce a least a modest strain on ears when being in for hours on end, at least in my situation. I do like your idea about the Bluetooth multimedia remote controller.

Yeah, this is a very good point. I just lean back and speak. I find it much better. You can actually think now better because you can actually focus on the problem, admittedly, I never bothered to learn how to type fast because I was too lazy And my fingers are beefy. And I also like it when I'm literally just looking at something and giving a feedback to model while I'm speaking and it is being transcribed and being acted upon. I mean, this is all is kind of like science fiction. I'm surprised that there's so much negativity about all this AI or as we officially now refer to as Si.
