I have found that git.exe outperforms any other codebase representation with GPT5.x once you figure out how to not mangle the arguments. Commands like grep and log can replace a lot of other tools if you can use them reliably.

I saw a major uplift in performance after I combined tools like apply_patch with check_compilation & run_unit_tests. I still call the tool "apply_patch", but it now returns additional information about the build & tests if

I exclusively use prepaid OAI tokens when doing copilot work in visual studio. It's really easy to set up a "custom" model. The consistency is hard to beat and I can use the latest model on day one. I also get to see how the

It's a bit of a trope but PC gamers do seem more serious in general. I observe some pretty stark differences between console and PC players in Battlefield 6. It tells you in the scoreboard what platform each player is on, so it's

Think of the out of band layer as two human executives exchanging URLs and GUIDs in person. You still need a secure transport, but in this model the thing that is being secured on the wire expires within 15 minutes. The only way to break th

If you want to talk to the actual robot, the APIs seem to be the way to go. The prebuilt consumer facing products are insufferable by comparison. "ChatGPT wrapper" is no longer a pejorative reference in my lexicon. How you expose

Correct. The keys are only used for signing JWTs. Trust was established with the vendor out of band from this wire protocol (the URL they scan for public keys).

I think quantum may be practically mitigated with aggressive key rotation in some cases. I've been prototyping an oauth machine-to-machine integration with a banking vendor that has our ecdsa keys rotate every 5 minutes. The keys are s

Determinism isn't essential to achieve record/playback experiences. You could just record the transform of the player at some fixed interval and then replay it with interpolation. This is arguably more "deterministic" in

No metric for performance, obviously. That would ruin the entire narrative. How much CPU time an average request takes is probably the most important factor in the real world. No one running a frontier AI lab is going to honor any of the me

It really depends on what you are trying to optimize for. If you are doing something illegal or controversial with the key, then yes it would be foolish to store it in the cloud. If your main concern is it becoming compromised due to a loca

I'd consider storing (generating) them in AWS KMS. It's $1/key/month and you don't have to worry about hardware failures, etc. Each key must have a separate policy attached which controls who it can be used by and h
