won't this essentially disable prompt caching, that you get from a standard append-only chat history?

failed the car wash test.

i think instead of postiioning as a general purpuse reasoning model, they'd have more success focusing on a specific use case (eg coding agent) and benchmark against the sota open models for the use case (eg qwen3-coder-next)

you need a reviewer agent for every step of the process - review the plan generated by the planner, the update made by the task worker subagent, and a final reviewer once all tasks are done.

this does eat up tokens _very_ quickly though :(

providers' ToS explicitly states whether or not any data provided is used for training purposes. the usual that i've seen is that while they retain the right to use the data on free tiers, it's almost never the case for paid tiers

NME at all - 5.1 codex has been the best by far.

i think the standard recommendation is to do range partitioning on the hash of the key, aka hash range partitioning (i know yugabyte supports this out of the box, i'd be surprised if others don't). this prevents the situation of all recent uuids ending up on the same shard.

why can't you create separate git worktrees, and open each worktree in a separate IDE window? then you get the same functionality, no?

the broker should be adjusting the cost basis in the 1099 to account for wash sale. are you not seeing that? what broker are you using?

I had checked out SPR, but found the workflow based around reordering history via interactive rebase unintuitive & clunky. That was the motivation behind building this on my own.

I have been using this for a few months now, and it has served me well! I haven't spent much (any) time marketing it, so haven't really had any feedback from other users yet. Feel free to check it out & lmk if you have any suggestions. It's also open source, so feed free to open issue/PR on Github

for a lot of tasks that aren't as cut & dry, i often find myself having to provide it pseudo code, which it can then one-shot to working code.

don't get me wrong, it's still a massive upgrade from the pre-sonnet era, but i still don't think it can take a high-level requirement and convert it into a working project... yet

hash based partitioning makes repartitioning very expensive. most distributed DB now use key-range based partitioning. Iirc, Dynamo which introduced this concept has also made the switch
