I am confused by this article landing on front page, it does not seem to contain any new insights but besides mostly reading ok falls apart when mixing up model and harness comparison in an amateurish way. Why would the subpar search tool zai provides be relevant for comparing models? They did not even mention the >capability< to use said tools but talk about MCP/ search providers as if thats not an implementation detail.
separation of model and tooling is as important as legislative and judicative, and just ignore any tooling or harness not true open source. they will all slowly creep into your life and choke you trying to lock you in.
Does this even still matter? No good behaviour in the world can restore trust in claude code and in fact all of Anthropics tooling, apps and harness teams except the core model research which still produces great models but seemingly losing ground to z and openAI. The GLM 5.2 hype and the limited impact of the fable lock down should be clear signals that models have no moat and frontier labs will do anything in their power to lock users into their toxic ecosystem of tools and taking context hostage.
This issue was what had me give up on windows forever and its been around since forever. There are many situations when there is just no way to release files except restart. When the basics don't work nothing else even matters.
ps the refactoring it did as part of the solution was a bit verbose and had a few abstractions i knew would not be needed and asked it to remove but were solid otherwise.
I had a pretty involved cross module state bug with complex dependencies and also reactivity issues interleaved. I tried fixing it multiple times manually with 4h time box as well as claude models up to opus 4.6 high and codex 5.3 all which failed. When the GPT-Pro model came out i heard it was not supposed to be an everyday coding model but tried anyways as it looked impressive. It took a single 8h run burning 200$ with doing nothing but occasionally waiting for test runs or me writing “continue”. After 8 hours, and fearing i wasted the money, the bug was consistently fixed, not just one edge case that triggered the behavior.
As a society its good for resilience to embrace small pockets of complete ai withdrawl. We should be happy some groups go through pain to keep best practices and processes alive that do not rely on any ai whatsoever. But most of these are unbearable for pragmatic normies to be around. This is made worse by the fact that seemingly a high percentage is not fully motivated by morals but by a deep insecurity that makes them militant, overly judgmental, bipolar thinkers and prone to weird authoritarian dynamics and exclusionism that i only know from the “vegan power” hatred for vegetarians and militant antifa s hatred for the “realist left”.
The only thing missing i could find was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashcode which had a pretty great data binding UI that i never quite saw like that.
Never found a good application for any of these immutable js data libraries. Maybe it could be helpful to prevent bugs in middleware chains of expresslike backends but for ui libraries it always felt like the libraries basically recreate mutable data structures with virtual proxy objects but at that point what does immutable even mean? you have completely virtual objects and can do whatever you want to make the rendering performant and reliable, at that point it would look probably more like a data binding layer with virtual objects to something like tanstack query
I still don't understand how people consider bun as a viable runtime when its owned by evil corp trying to use it for capture of the tooling layer and its the most insecure runtime on top of that. Meanwhile deno is performant and has dramatically improved node compatibility while exposing a proper permission broker api.
Same reason linux or databases need to be open source. A sandbox is not a nice to have or a feature anymore, it is as fundamental building block to running any software. You cannot depend on closed source building blocks, not as closed source product and especially not as open source product.
Not really, its more like saying no one needs another windows when linux exists. By "no one needs" i mean the world needs open source sandbox building blocks that are up to the challenges of the current age, no closed source solution can be a fundamental building block for the world to become better and more secure. No non-local building block can be at the foundation to anything that makes the world better and more robust.
I had to dig hard to find this is a SAAS sandbox offering not an actual sandbox (the software i can use locally). Its just wasting peoples time, no one needs a non opensource sandbox. There are now at least 3 apache 2 projects (smolmachines, microsandbox, boxlite) working on sandboxes and at least one of them should be ready for primetime soon.
We still have not the right sandbox and PR abstractions to make the merge of the two complete. Imagine merging a PR and knowing exactly this code cannot ever possibly reach the internet and it can only receive and send specific shapes of api requests from these specific services, it has well defined resource limits and you have specific optimal UI to review these constraints. I can imagine to not review a bigger number of PRs in that reality.
