Consider: If you genuinely believe that the only important goal is to make life multiplanetary, (and note I'm not defending this position here, just asserting it as an explanation of behavior)

then anything that drives money towards your work on that goal is worth pursuing particularly if you think time is short.

So, is claude code really better than codex with latest gpt model, or do people just hate on openai so much that no one (but me apparently) is using them? I am asking this question seriously because if so I will make the switch, but codex seems to be quite good to me so I don't want to waste time switching.

I worked with Lee Sword (also RIP) for a while; he was on the mechanical team for Sojourner. Interesting guy.

If y'all haven't read the Henghis Hapthorn stories by Matthew Hughes e.g. The Gist Hunter and Other Tales iirc, you should check them out. This is a cut at Henghis' "Integrator" assistant.

yes. It also keeps the pasta from sticking together as quickly after you drain it. But an Italian friend made a face and said "it will keep the sauce from adhering to the pasta!!!' so... yeah.

This needs to be mashed up with the Daxophone. Like, can I clamp pieces of wood into it and bow them?
