We always reset the directory back to the project directory on each command, so that helps. But we're open to adding more restrictions so that it can't for example run `cd /usr && rm -rf .`

Yes, at least, partially. It will work, but maybe not as well as we don't parse out the function names from .svelte files. I can add it if tree sitter adds support for Svelte. I haven't checked, maybe it already is supported?

We actually don't use RAG! It's not that good as you say. We build a description of the codebase including the file tree and parsed function names and class names, and then just ask Haiku which files are relevant! This works much

Yes, unfortunately, Codebuff will only read files within one directory (and sub-directories). If you have multiple repos, you could create a directory that contains them all, and that should work pretty well!

Yes. Natively, the models are limited to 200k tokens which is on the order of dozens of files, which is way too small. But Codebuff has a whole preliminary step where it searches your codebase to find relevant files to your query, and only

Cool, it's probably about the same, since we're both using the new Sonnet 3.5 for coding. We might have a bit of an advantage because we pull more files as context so the edit can be more in the style of your existing code. One do

It's mainly from experience. From when I set it up I didn't have the feature to ask whether to run commands. It has been rawdogging commands this whole time and has never been a problem for me. I think we have many other users who

One cool thing you can do is a ask Codebuff to create these docs. In fact, we recommend it. Codebuff natively reads any files ending in "knowledge.md", so you can add any extra info you want it to know to these files. For example,

Yes, this is a good point. I think not asking to run commands is maybe the most controversial choice we've made so far. The reason we don't ask for human review is simply: we've found that it works fine to not ask. We've

Oh, it was a tool call I originally implemented so that Codebuff could look up the probabilities of markets to help it answer user questions. I thought it would be fun if you asked it about the chance of the election or maybe something abou

I hear you. This is actually a foundational idea for Codebuff. I made it to work within the large-ish codebase of my previous startup, Manifold Markets. I want the demos to be of real work, but somehow they never seem as cool unless it'

Thanks for using Codebuff! Yeah, these edit issues are annoying, but I'm confident we can reduce the error rate a lot in the coming weeks.

Nope, if you go over the allotted credits on the $99 plan, then you pay per usage (with a 5% discount). We actually ended up not charging this guy since there was a bug where we told him he got 50,000 credits instead of 10,000. Oops!

Haha, it's because I used to work on Manifold Markets! Codebuff was originally called Manicode. We just renamed it this week actually. There was meant to be a universe of "Mani" products. My other cofounder made Manifund, and

Great question! In Codebuff you don't have to manually specify any files. It finds the right ones for you! It also pulls more files to get you a better result. I think this makes a huge difference in the ergonomics of just chatting to

Great questions! 1) There are three insiders on this decision which would be the three cofounders of this site (including me and the OP). We wouldn't insider trade because we genuinely want to know the answer to this question. The mark

It sounds plausible, but our experience so far is that cheating is very rare. Out of hundreds of markets, we had our first clear incorrect resolution yesterday. But the argument is not simply that people won't cheat often. The argument

Oracles are cool, but I humbly submit user-resolved markets as a cleaner and better mechanism. As akrolsmir says, someone could commit to resolving according to an Oracle. But mainly, it allows for a diversity of approaches to serve differe

You've actually got it backwards. User-resolved markets is the brilliant part of our platform, but most people are not able to figure that out.
