The videos work because they deliver also some entertainment. The signal that Louis really cares is strong in them

The argument is that people driving will each buy a lot though, not a single toothbrush. So 100 people driving will deliver as many trucks and would drive much less overall

They're gonna worsen it

Seems a bit similar to spec driven development. How does it differ?

One way is to use something like https://shellbox.dev - you start new boxes and manage it all through ssh, icl agent running inside

Checkout https://shellbox.dev for exactly thisnusecase: boxes can be stopped, they are snapshotted to disk then cost just $0.5/month. They wakeup with the same state (memory and processes too) on ssh connections, or web endpoint activity, or just just a cron schedule. When you dont need the box... Just delete it and stop paying. No subscription, managed via ssh

An interesting alternative: https://shellbox.dev - manage linux vms via ssh, pay only for what you use. It is much cheaper, no subscription is needed, supports nested virt, docker, custom images, duplication of boxes, gives an ipv6, auto-stop on optional auto stop on disconnect, wakeup on web endpoint hit, email endpoint, exposed ipv6, and more. Parked boxes are just $0.5/month. Create small or large boxes up to 16vcpu with 32gb ram and 400gb hdd

Cheaper by a factor of 2-5 depending on your usage. Read here: https://shellbox.dev/#post-race-to-the-bottom

Startup is fast, less than 2 seconds if you pool connections.

Also, what do you mean by optimized environment for chrome. You can use whatever image you want, use an optimized one if there is such thing

Just use something like https://shellbox.dev instead of FireCracker inside ec2. Much simpler, boxes are up in a couple of seconds, and it is way cheaper.

Ohh a typo :) it is https://shellbox.dev

https://shellnox.dev - instant linux vms via an ssh api. Svales to zero, pay only for what you use

now someone do a "VIM appearances in pop culture" :)

Technically, this is true

I have it enabled for an ssh interface for managing linux vms: https://shellbox.dev

Even supports post quantum encryption :)

We're becoming people that care only about money and career, and kids are not exactly helping...

what's this glorious "do whatever you want" era???

The memory footprint is great, it allows finally running these coding agents in extra small instances -- say x1 on shellbox.dev

In exe.dev you have a subscription and you get some constant compute, paid whether used or not. that compute is shared between the vms. In shellbox every box has its own dedicated compute and if you don't use any, you don't pay.

Shellbox also gives an ipv6, an email endpoint, wakeup on the web endpoint, it supports nested virtualization, docker, etc. And... it is much cheaper even if you use it 24/7. Ahh and also you can send ssh exec commands, ssh forwarding, and more. It is "real" linux, like you get on classical vps providers

Instant linux boxes via ssh that suspend on disconnect. Checkout https://shellbox.dev

The idea is to have "real" linux, exposing ipv6, supporting nested virtualization, docker, etc.

Sadly this is what sells. Standing out in this regard checkout https://shellbox.dev maybe swinging too far though?

ohh this is really nice :) testing it

Anchor based editing requires injecting new anchors to the context, and dirac does so via a diff. So how is this more efficient (token-wise) than search and replace?? Even at a single token per hash. Also, code is read more than written so these just add up. I experimented once with stable anchors, albeit longer than a single token, and found it a downgrade.

My conclusion is that the efficiency dirac sees comes mainly from showing file skeleton by default

re. bash type tooling-- it doesnt mean an agent cannot use ast: using treesitter cli this should be perfect possible

Yes, keep a box running regardless of connections using `ssh shellbox.dev keepalive mybox`

The scalability is in the number of instances: create, duplicate and destroy down to zero. Each instance size is fixed.

Thanks for the feedback. Ill improve it. In the meanwhile, there are more technical details on this blog post: https://shellbox.dev/blog/race-to-the-bottom.html

Vms hosted in Hetzner auction instances is exactly how shellbox works. I published more details in here: https://shellbox.dev/blog/race-to-the-bottom.html

There are plenty of alternatives out there. I built https://shellbox.dev, which gives you instant vms via ssh where unlike exe you pay only for what you use-- scale to zero. It is also regular linux, supporting vscode and zed remote, Nested virtualization, etc.

If you're looking to invest im fine with only $5M :)

https://shellbox.dev is a hosted version of something very similar

So, is this similar to openrouter?
