How do you prevent these models from reading secrets in your repos locally?

It’s one thing for the ENVs to be user pasted but typically you’re also giving the bots access to your file system to interrogate and understand them right? Does this also block that access for ENVs by detecting them and doing granular permissions?

I configure permission settings within projects.

Where did you get that from? Cutoff date says august 2025. Looks like a newly pretrained model
SparkyMcUnicorn · 7 days ago
If the pretraining rumors are true, they're probably using continued pretraining on the older weights. Right?

There is an open question about how file persistence works.

The docs claim they persist the filesystem even when they move the container to an idle state but its unclear exactly what that means - https://github.com/cloudflare/sandbox-sdk/issues/102

SparkyMcUnicorn · 2 months ago
To me, the docs answer it pretty clearly. The defined directories persist until you destroy().

The part that's unclear to me is how billing works for a sandbox's disk that's asleep, because container disks are ephemeral and don't survive sleep[2] but the sandbox pricing points you to containers which says "Charges stop after the container instance goes to sleep".

I have this same suspicion. Worse, there’s no way to opt out of giving a response.

If you turn off "Help improve Claude" you will never get this prompt (I never do).

For finicky issues like that I often find that, in the time it takes to create a prompt with the necessary context, I was able to just make the one line tweak myself.

In a way that is still helpful, especially if the act of putting the prompt together brought you to the solution organically.

Beyond that, 'clean', 'well written' and 'maintainable' are all relative terms here. In a low quality, mega legacy codebase, the results are gonna be dogshit without an intense amount of steering.

I don't run into this problem. Maybe the type of code we're working on is just very different. In my experience, if a one-line tweak is the answer and I'm spending a lot of time tweaking a prompt, then I might be holding the tool wrong.

Agree on those terms being relative. Maybe a better way of putting it is that I'm very comfortable putting my name on it, deploying to production, and taking responsibility for any bugs.

> Level 2 - One commit - Cursor and Claude Code work well for tasks in this size range.

I'll stop ya right there. Spending the past few weeks fixing bugs in a big multi-tier app (which is what any production software is this days). My output per bug is always one commit, often one line.

Claude is an occasional help, nothing more. Certainly not generating the commit for me!

I'll stop you right there. I've been using Claude Code for almost a year on production software with pretty large codebases. Both multi-repo and monorepo.

Claude is able to create entire PRs for me that are clean, well written, and maintainable.

Can it fail spectacularly? Yes, and it does sometimes. Can it be given good instructions and produce results that feel like magic? Also yes.

Is it possible to modify the webpage to make the pattern of the text go down and the pattern of the background do up?

I like perplexity's deep research model which is based on deepseek i think. i use that for most kind of writing, discussion, research, etc. where I need some kind of feedback. Claude seems to go crazy sometimes when you ask it to do the same task. Whereas for coding, Claude Code is obviously better than everything else under the sun.
SparkyMcUnicorn · 3 months ago
I decided to give perplexity another try a few days ago, and it still seems to hallucinate things. Given the same exact tasks/prompts both Claude and Chatgpt got the facts correct.

Writing this comment from my FrameWork laptop with AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, 96GB Ram, 4TB Storage, that I got for $4k. Running Fedora with KDE. How much would I need to pay Apple to get a laptop with this much ram?

The day I got my only Apple device, an ipad, only to know they will kill my browser download as soon as I switch to a different app, it became my last. I don't want to pay a company only to be subject to their decision of what I can and cannot run on my machine.

If I vote for that with my wallet, I deserve it.

You can get a 128GB MacBook for around $4300. With a 4TB SSD it'll be around $5k I think.
