Hi HN! I'm kevin, cofounder of https://machinesatplay.com, a multiplayer 3d gaming engine for codex/claude code.TLDR: we're rebuilding unreal engine without the editor in rust meant to be used through the CLI. its open source/MIT. You prompt your favorite coding harness to create a game, and it'll give you a <name>.machinesatplay.com linkSome multiplayer games built with it:cubg:...
should be less resources because the instances are lighter weight compared to their production equivalent. less durability/HA promises in favor of agent speed. currently measuring CPU/mem usage of each instance in the pool and cutting down more and more
we're not affiliated with supabase and this is a good point. wanted to be specific with the name like paloaltofooddelivery, but we'll likely rename as we add more different databases/services to support like clickhouse, stripe. curious if you have any that you want us to do

I usually have around five Claude Code or Codex terminals working on one repo, each in its own git worktree. The repo needs Supabase, and the agents kept stepping on each other: a shared local instance means one agent's test truncate wipes another's dev data, and "supabase start" per worktree means five Docker stacks eating the machine.Supapool keeps a pool of warm, fully booted Supabase...
congrats on the launch. i'm curious how you think about on device AI vs providers that are in the cloud. where do you see the capabilities of models that can run on the phone, and are there inherent advantages to this?
nice but seriously: how do i turn on ad block? don't want to see ads on youtube
pulling a cursor on google chrome lol

there's a long tail of edge cases where a smaller model does something dumb with input/output, which causes a decent amount of pain to the user (e.g. nodemon, do we stop/do we start?). Coding agent developers can't make an opinion on every possible terminal command
maybe what we're asking for is that terminal commands keep in mind that agents are now the primary users of them, and have a feeling that new packages or commands could get wider adoption if they are better understood by a coding agent
- similar to SEO for LLMs growing in adoption
- documentation sites offering .md file raw for LLMs to ingest easily
These things will make it so that your packages or libs adopted faster
most terminal commands are being run by AI. we need a standard way to tell terminal commands to be token efficient/non-interactive

TLDR: made the first background coding agent that has an isolated workspace and runs locallyHowdy - I’m Kevin, co-founder of Firebender, and we built the first background coding agent in android studio / Jetbrains!Why not just use Cursor background agents or OpenAI Codex?Both of these require setting up a cloud container and cloning your existing developer environment, and maintaining it. Then...

I'll keep it simple, here's Firebender, a coding agent in android studio, in 30 seconds.

disabling history on YouTube disables short feeds and recommendations on the home page. It takes 10 seconds and has saved easily thousands of hours and mental sanity.
Also, if you ever want to revisit a video, just use chromes history, but you'll find also this rarely happens if ever.
That is correct, and is definitely a problem. basically there should be a button that toggles for no code data leaving the network (unless its the proxy you configured). Right now you have to be aware of what features do and don't rely on the proxy which is not a good UX. At the very least there should be modal popup asking for an override or cancel on features that require our custom models.
I can solidify this option with stronger guarantees.
Separately, we're working on Soc II at the moment and should have type 1 soon, and type 2 pending the observation period.
I know trusting my word is difficult bc I'm a random person on the internet, but we do NOT store you code data or use your code data to improve our product in any way (like training models).
> Which suggests that there's always some cloud component? How usable is the plugin with fully local setup?
right now requests go directly to your proxy from the plugin if you have it configured (i.e. if you set up a clean VPC/VPN network environment with no outbound requests besides anthropic): both chat, cmdk, and agent will work. We are still working on the DevX for this, but need someone to work closely on this. Enterprise is also pushing us to make this more friendly.
But there are massive downsides, we use some custom models and hosting infrastructure to speed things up. For example, code edits will take much longer.
For fully local LLMs, we just need to setup a unified API client, but there aren't any good kotlin ones and I'm scrambling to write this from scratch. It is very annoying how there are different nuances in the anthropic/openai/etc. and all the "Open source" gateways are cloud hosted. I don't think people will want to "host" a gateway locally, the best experience is to just to put your keys/base url in settings which could be localhost:3000.
just read this - that is definitely a bug. email me at
[email protected] please and I can fix this bug asap for you
only the AI agent, master of all 4 ecosystems, could stop them, but...
it works with flutter. we many active flutter developers in our discord too that will flame us if we introduce any bugs for them. its good because then we can fix this asap.
same is true for intellij and kotlin/java support
didn't expect you to comment here - really appreciate the kind words! I have a ton of respect for what y'all are doing and actually making a hardware product, AR glasses. Let me know if you need anymore old Android phones for you to brick, can bike over again and hand them over :)
