New comment by mrshu in "Storing Claude Code API keys in KeePassXC instead of plaintext config"

mrshu — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 14:38:01 +0000

Author here. I wrote this after setting up Claude Code with MiniMax and Z.AI and realizing their docs all tell you to paste API keys into settings.json in plaintext -- which is risky given that Claude Code has been known to read .env files and leak contents into session transcripts. I already use KeePassXC, so I wrote a shell wrapper that fetches the key at invocation time and passes it as an inline env var. Nothing is written to disk. The same pattern works with any password manager CLI -- op read for 1Password, bw get password for Bitwarden, pass show for pass. Happy to answer questions.

New comment by mrshu in "When does MCP make sense vs CLI?"

mrshu — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 21:27:19 +0000

It really seems the primary benefit of MCP servers was to force companies to establish some externally exposed APIs if/when they did not have them.

To be fair, it's not like he did not read a single line of code that ended up being generated.

New comment by mrshu in "Another GitHub outage in the same day"

This (multiple major outages a day) has unfortunately been happening for quite a while now -- on the 2nd of February, 2026 for instance.

The GitHub Status Page does not visualize these very well but you can see them parsed out and aggregated here:

Here it is. It looks like they are down to a single 9 at this point across all services:

GitHub no longer publishes aggregate numbers so here they are parsed out. It looks like they are down to a single 9 at this point across all services:

Some projects (like the pi coding agent) use a gated approach for first-time contributors:

Here is what it looks like in practice:

It was not built by Claude -- Peter no longer uses it for coding -- he builds exclusively with Codex now: https://steipete.me/posts/2025/shipping-at-inference-speed

Do you normally run Opus by default? It seems the Max subscription should let you run Sonnet in an uninterrupted way, so it was surprising to read.

What are some standard benchmarks you look at in this space?

Do you think a more messier math benchmark (in terms of how it is defined) might be more difficult for these models to get?

The author is an AI researcher at Anthropic: https://www.julian.ac/about/

He likely has his substantial experience using AI in real life (particularly when it comes to coding).

This is a SendGrid alternative (transactional emails, potentially with a nice API).

New comment by mrshu in "Bagel: Open-source unified multimodal model"

mrshu — Mon, 26 May 2025 21:56:50 +0000

OpenAI does not provide many details about their models these days but they do mention that the "Advanced voice" within ChatGPT operates on audio input directly:

> Advanced voice uses natively multimodal models, such as GPT-4o, which means that it directly “hears” and generates audio, providing for more natural, real-time conversations that pick up on non-verbal cues, such as the speed you’re talking, and can respond with emotion.

ra-aid works pretty well with Ollama (haven't tried it with Devstral yet though)
