It's not hard to sandbox Pi without adding anything substantial to the actual size of the system prompt, which is what HarnessTax is mostly measuring. Wrapping it in nono.sh costs approximately zero tokens. (I do think Pi should ship w

For me, it's simply that I have to read Claudese instrumentally for work enough that I am not going to spend my neurons reading it idly. I am not mad about it or anything, it just sucks to open up a blog post and realize that it's

It seems to me that if they'd just about reached their upper limits in early 2024 agentic coding wouldn't be eating software development like it is now, and wasn't then.

it serves to show just how little regard the people behind these generated-text fingerprinting schemes have for the actual craft of writing. LLMs have never been the place I've thought to expect any commitment to the craft of writing

It has a sort of metronomic quality. It never slows down or speeds up or modulates its tone. It plods forward at a relentless pace and never has a light touch with anything. I think this is one reason why LLM text is pretty exhausting to re

I guess ideally you'd want to force it to pipe each step back into the agent/IDE for display (and optionally wait for approval) rather than shoving it into the context. And with some sort of heuristic to skip commands that are pip
