What harness is that?

this is seriously nuts. I have so many repos sitting there using old/deprecated/replaced names just because of their idiotic decision to place dir-specific config and memories in ~/.claude
Did you publish your tool? I searched through your GitHub but couldn't find it. Sounds amazing, I was thinking of a similar concept.
How come we have all these benchmarks for models, but none whatsoever for harnesses / whatever you'd call this? While I understand assigning "scores" is more nuanced, I'd love to see some website that has a catalog of prompts and outputs as produced with a different configuration of model+harness in a single attepmt
Well, thanks to all of the humans larping as evil bots in there (which will definitely land in the next gen's training data) - next time it'll be real

I mean, can you expect a vibecoding company to do stuff with 0 downtime? They brought the models down and are now panicking at HQ since there's no one to bring them back up

Both the CC api and their website -- hopefully related to the rumored Sonnet 5 release

I had that exact same feeling during the US holidays where I got to enjoy 2x usage limits and everything just seemed to work well

Why base this on time? Using a simple HOTP which uses a rolling index for the "time value" seems like a much better choice for humans

I know it's one me for thinking this -- since the domain is fly.io -- but I was really hoping this is some local solution. Not self-hosted, but just local. A thin command line wrapper to something (docker? bubblewrap?) that gave me sort of a containerized "VM" experience for my local machine using CoW.
Re:Use Python for Scripting on Saturday December 13, 2025 @03:59PM (#46257993)
I strongly agree with this. At $WORK I usually work on projects comprising many small bits in various languages - some PowerShell here, some JS there, along with a "build process" that helps minify each and combine them into the final product. After switching from shell scripts to Just and having to deal with a ton of issues on the way (how does quoting work in each system? How does argument passing? Environment variables?) I simply wrote a simple script with Python, UV shebang and PEP723 dependencies. Typer takes care of the command line parsing, and each "build target" is a simple, composable, readable python function that takes arguments and can call other ones if it needs to. Can't be simpler than that and the LLMs love it too.
