Bnjoroge··on Show HN: HelixDB – A graph database built on object storage
it does, think I misunderstood your value prop. best of luck -definitely a real usecase.
Bnjoroge··on Show HN: Command Center, the AI coding env for people who care about quality
love to see jj support, but if I cant use my subs, it's a deal-breaker for me.
Bnjoroge··on Show HN: Command Center, the AI coding env for people who care about quality
plannotator's made me actually want to read my agents' plans. Great product. I've been liking the review as well.
Bnjoroge··on Show HN: Nucleus – A security-hardened, Nix-native container runtime
pretty cool but docker support is a no-brainer. not having it is a deal-breaker
Bnjoroge··on Show HN: HelixDB – A graph database built on object storage
congrats! how does this compare to turbopuffer, surreal or other multi-model ones built on object storage or not
Bnjoroge··on Show HN: Lowfat – pluggable CLI filter that saved 91.8% of my LLM tokens
Yes. That’s possible in addition to using your actual subscription. I’ve been using it via cliproxy for all harnesses and even my own code review agent hooked up to github apps. Not banned yet but I also dont do crazy stuff with openclaw or hermes
Bnjoroge··on Microsoft's open source tools were hacked to steal passwords of AI developers
Docker isn’t a serious sandboxing strategy
Bnjoroge··on Failing grades soar with AI usage, dwindling math skills in Berkeley CS classes
an even lazier comment
Bnjoroge··on Show HN: Lowfat – pluggable CLI filter that saved 91.8% of my LLM tokens
definitely doesnt is a strong word. it technically is possible, but you might get banned
Bnjoroge··on Show HN: Boxes.dev: ditch localhost; run Claude Code and Codex in the cloud
Works well for very well defined task. If you have a really big feature like a front end migration, you can use /plan, and /goal which i think is in most harnesses. You can also use other tools that allow your agent to interact with other terminals(I use an ADE called orca) that has an orca skill where an agent can spin up different sessions(different from subtasks because they share the context and you can chose the harness/model unlike sub agents). Can also read from the terminal, use your browser or computer and task screenshots and after prepare a report or something.

Lmao
Bnjoroge··on Failing grades soar with AI usage, dwindling math skills in Berkeley CS classes
Or your lazy excuse is an even more convenient thing to blame
Bnjoroge··on Show HN: Boxes.dev: ditch localhost; run Claude Code and Codex in the cloud
What are “box-hours”? Regular hours just running in boxes? Do I get charged the same when 1)the agent is doing some external thing say web search that takes a while, and 2) when the agent isnt running(say waiting for my input)?
Bnjoroge··on Self-hosted dev sandboxes with preview URLs (Docker, Go, no K8s)
This is heavily vibecoded, and probably the 100th iteration of sandboxes. In any case, docker isn’t a serious isolation boundary for agents.
Bnjoroge··on Meta workers can opt out of being tracked at work up to 30 min
No it’s not unless you’ve never interacted with people in other industries. It’s just as bad there, unless you have specific reasons for tech
Bnjoroge··on Meta workers can opt out of being tracked at work up to 30 min
That makes no sense. They didnt provide any specific reasons they dont like the tech industry. All of their reasons can be applied to just about any industry lmao. The core issue is and always will be capitalism
Bnjoroge··on Meta workers can opt out of being tracked at work up to 30 min
None of that is specific to this industry. It’s far worse in others. Grass always looks greener elsewhere
Bnjoroge··on Claude Opus 4.8
Agree on both counts. Mimo seemed to have reduced their prices significantly so if it’s comparable to deepseek v4 pro, it’s a much better value
Bnjoroge··on Using Tailscale with an OrbStack VM on macOS
I use Tailscale with orbstack machines which allows me to run two tailnets at once($dayjob and homelab). Both great products. https://bnjoroge.com/posts/connecting-to-multiple-tailscale-...
Bnjoroge··on Claude Opus 4.8
Have you seen https://deepswe.datacurve.ai/blog? This is the closest to a vibe check i’ve felt even with the open models.
Bnjoroge··on Claude Opus 4.8
For long-running tasks, yes 4.7 has been a noticeable improvement. Goes off the rails alot less than 4.6 does. For shorter-sized windows, I havent felt as much and agree that the harness improvements have been fhe biggest lever
Bnjoroge··on Outsourcing plus local AI will soon become more economical vs. frontier labs
I imagine it’s also really trivial to build some kind of local “enterprise” proxy that gives you the same visibility in usage as the anthropic dashboard would give you. I use one for aggregating all my subs.
Bnjoroge··on Why AI Agents Cannot Change Software Systems
Yup. Just shows me that they are either oblivious about how much better they’ve gotten or simply unaware. Either way, hard to take their opinions seriously
Bnjoroge··on GitHub Actions was down
Gitlab’s UI is extremely terrible. It’s hard to even explain how bad it is.
Bnjoroge··on Bun support is now limited and deprecated
Do you review your dependencies’ entire code?
Bnjoroge··on Bun support is now limited and deprecated
There’s a big difference between vibe coding and agentic engineering. If you think they are at all the same thing, you need to update your priors
Bnjoroge··on OpenAI Is Preparing to File for an IPO Soon
I dont think that holds since the core cuda toolkit is proprietary
Bnjoroge··on OpenAI Is Preparing to File for an IPO Soon
You only need about a mac w 96GB or 128gb to run deepseek v4flash with ds4(https://github.com/antirez/ds4). Works mostly well
Bnjoroge··on AI subscriptions are a ticking time bomb for enterprise
Subs are absolutely available to businesses. There’s metered plans for ghe equivalent consumer plan.
Bnjoroge··on US special forces soldier arrested after allegedly winning $400k on Maduro raid
whoops yea, my bad.
