Surely the electromagnetic radiation from iPhone must be disorienting the storks.

I really need this as an API.

Turns out, to use Claude Agents SDK, you need to have a vision enabled API. If Deepseek API could see, it can fully drive Claude Code and Claude Agents SDK. A project I'm working on relies on a Claude-in-CloudflareWorker setup and I've been relying on Qwen and gemini flash lite, both more expensive than Deepseek.

Can't wait to have it available on deepseek.

Nobody's stopping you from taking advantage of that shortage :) Just don't forget to turn your garage EUV machine on and off if it starts glitching.

For now codex. Didn't manage to get others to work well. And fully aware that I'll have to move to another thing after OpenAI enshittifies this as well.

That's a baseless claim that borderline reads like shilling. Do you have any proof of that you wrote there?

I moved off Claude Code 3 months ago.

That decision keeps getting better and better as time goes on.

YMMW but on my local tasks Opus 4.8 is nowhere near close to gpt 5.5. For the lack of a better word Opus is just soo damn lazy.

This was an insightful comment, thank you for writing.

And here's to hoping that the exponentially growing technological capabilities will allow curing death in our (short) lifespans. By God we need that to counteract the ageing population.

Tobacco companies should've just announced that "This new tobacco we made is super good, but too dangerous to release, so we are smoking it ourselves and giving it to only the select C-level smokers"

That's as easy as making new Vite. :) Which is hard, not easy but my point stands.

No offense but I couldn't give less of a damn what some guy on the internet thinks. If it makes me feel good in artsy-ways, then it is art, and I don't care how it was made.

Where's the pelican when you need it the most?

Ask HN: How do you manage secrets with many agents?

tornikeo — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 11:40:16 +0000

I typically 4 or more agents in different clones of the same project (NO worktrees, clones). And as project goes on, inevitably one of the agents needs to rotate/add/delete keys and since that change isn't tracked in the source, i have to, for the 100th time tell Codex to "Please find and sync that key you need from sibling folders".

There HAS to be a solution for this and symlinking key file to ../secrets doesn't work because agents (for some reason) trip over the fact that .env.local is a symlink and not a pure text file.

Is there a solution for this? What do you use to solve this?

IMO bad take.

You can theoretically do most things AWS does most of the time, yet people pay premium for it and keep paying for it, even though alternatives are cheaper, simpler and more performant.

I'd bet you that after 20 years OpenAI and Anthropic would still be around and kicking.

You might have a subpar product (for the price) but the reputation and history is what makes people open their wallets.

Do you hold any amount of power in the world? A project that people care about, or a deliverable that someone depends on?

Just curious how you can afford to care about the guy 7 levels above the men that built and support the API that you buy.

GPT 5.5 feels worse than 5.4 for the last few weeks. Again N=1, but would be interested to see how opus 4.8 and gpt 5.4 match

And I think that's amazing. I'd like to keep using the subsidized coding tools, especially Codex, since I've given up on Claude. Hopefully the PMF allows the subsidy to continue. Would hate to have to move to the next coding harness again.

Simplest explanation I could come up with: Just for hype and fun.

Rewriting things in rust is "cool". Bun did it, other projects did it. Therefore, writing a coding agent in one should be cool too.

And apparently enough HN crowd agrees with it to take the #1 spot on the board.
