A friend of mine in college had the same CRX as the author and I’d get rides to campus with him. He passed away in an accident not long after the first Fast movie came out. I totally get what the author is saying about some cars being time machines/memory capsules.

It cuts both ways. Sometimes I ask Gemini 3.5 Flash to do something for me and it kicks it out almost instantly and it works great, and it's a bit scary how quickly it can do that.

Then I ask it to do something else and it goes off-road and where I used to be able to interject with a "wow wow wow, that's not right", by the time I see the text on screen and react it's already made massive changes. Short of making it commit between every edit it's hard to prevent it from going wrong as quickly as it goes right (and even then, it can make a boo-boo on a remote API too depending on how much privilege it has).

I get the debate in this thread but this is IMHO the detail that matters:

"Many of these companies don't even have an external API! And yet, they're all building MCP servers."

Whether or not MCP is a temporary means to an end or a more permanent standard is kind of missing the point that the overall callable API surface is expanding rapidly. How it's called by the agent is an implementation detail.

Can’t you turn the 1M off with a /model opus (or /model sonnet)?

At least up until recently the 1M model was separated into /model opus[1M]

The idea is that the immutability of the operating system leads to greater stability. The partition should (in theory) be exactly as the distribution expects on every computer it’s installed to, which limits the potential for user changes breaking anything. The benefit to the user is that it’s a lot harder to shoot yourself in the foot by running the wrong script.

The issues have been described as login/logout, but I'm not sure that's all that's happening. In today's outage and the last the API stopped and kicked the session out.

I only mention this in case someone from Anthropic perhaps isn't aware that it seems to be a wider issue than login/logout (although I'm sure they are!)

I've started getting some 401 errors on a subscription again and oauth seems to be struggling to restore the session. Is it just me?

If only my handwriting weren't utter chicken scratch I'd use this, but in my case - nobody needs to see that. :-/
