I added an "Ask" button my agent UI (openade.ai) specifically because of this!


Is the website Stripe or NYTimes?


Now, I'm curious. How Bedrock/Azure Claude models work?

Do these rules apply to them too?


I'm not from California but this to me seems like a great case to move to California. Why not ship your externality creating activities elsewhere? Its not like they pay more for the iPhone.


Consider housing price and state tax as well


And don't forget the strict laws that prevent people from leaving and require them to complain instead.


As someone who moved out of California a few years ago I assure you that it is exceedingly easy to move to a different state, assuming you have the money to move at all.


Good to hear and I hope and I suspect you are doing well. People leaving is good for other states and good for affordability of California.


Sure. A state where housing is dirt cheap and no taxes is great, but if something happens to you, good luck finding a hospital or municipal services. Job prospects are also something to consider.

Just because houses cost more and there's a state tax, doesn't mean it's _bad_.


They do pay more for the iPhone, they have the highest state sales tax in the US.


This is easily demonstrated to be wrong. California isn't in the top 5 highest. The top 5 being:

1. Louisiana 10.11%

2. Tennessee 9.61%

3. Washington 9.51%

4. Arkansas 9.46%

5. Alabama 9.46%

Crazy how we never hear pithy drops about sales tax in Louisiana. I wonder why that is literally never a talking point in these discussions? Probably a very similarly motivated reason as to why people rant about murder in Chicago but never Memphis.


You're combining state and local sales tax. State sales tax in Louisiana is 4.45%. Some municipalities add nothing on top of that, some add more. I said California's state sales tax is the highest and that's true.


> Why not ship your externality creating activities elsewhere?

Like where?


Like the places where people welcome deregulation and jobs?

Not trying to sound like a jerk but there’s plenty of places in the US where people welcome stuff like coal mines and polluting factories.

If the factories have to be somewhere and they consent, then why not there?


corporations taking hold of small local governments and passing laws that benefit them, unbeknownst to the locals living there, is hardly "consent"


Can’t help but feel like you’re overestimating the competency of the average voter in these effected areas; a breath after yours—though not necessarily your own—may condemn these people for being undereducated, out of touch with culture or subject to corporate grifters.


There's this country called China that you guys been offshoring manufacturing to...


Unless you are from China, your jurisdiction offshores to China as well.


Well the attitude that puts a full stop (well a question mark) after "NIMBY" says implicity "where the poors live".


Well, I find it a bit hypocritical: if those things are so bad, why to forbid manufacturing and not consumption? Otherwise you just pollute a place where people that have no say live.


gemini flash!


+1, my experience improved quite a bit when I switched to the parakeet model, they should definitely use that as the default.


"Hiding" is doing some heavy lifting here. You can run --json and see everything pretty much (besides the system prompt and tool descriptions)....

I love the terminal more than the next guy but at some point it feels like you're looking at production nginx logs, just a useless stream of info that is very difficult to parse.

I vibe coded my own ADE for this called OpenADE (https://github.com/bearlyai/openade) it uses the native harnesses, has nice UIs and even comes with things like letting Claude and Codex work together on plans. Still very beta but has been my daily driver for a few weeks now.


ADE! first time I've heard that acronym. (I assume it means Agent development environment?)

Your interface looks pretty cool! I built something similar-ish though with a different featureset / priority (https://github.com/kzahel/yepanywhere - meant to be a mobile first interface but I also use it at my desk almost exclusively)

It sounds like you have some features to comment directly on markdown? That sounds pretty useful. I love how Antigravity has that feature.


Why does it say "Works with your existing Claude Code subscription"? I thought Anthropic banned use of CC subscriptions in third-party software?


the project just does subprocess calls to claude code (the product/cli). I think services like open code were using it to make raw requests to claude api. Have any more context I can look into?


> --json

Seriously? This can't be a comparable experience in terms of UX.


I think my read of "hiding" was more of a "trying to hide the secret sauce" which was implied in a few places.

Otherwise it seems like a minor UI decision any other app would make and it surprising there's whole articles on it.


> I think my read of "hiding" was more of a "trying to hide the secret sauce" which was implied in a few places.

That was very much not my read of it.


Given that we're talking about terminals, I'd argue there's a pretty good precedent for "hidden" meaning "not visible by default but possible to view at the expense of less clarity and extra noise"; no one th


whats the ~ perf hit of something like this?


Nowadays nested just wastes the extra operating system overhead and I/O performance if your VM doesn't have paravirtualization drivers installed. CPUs all have hardware support.


As a practical matter, anywhere from 5-15%.


On first principles it would seem that the "harness" is a myth. Surely a model like Opus 4.6/Codex 5.3 which can reason about complex functions and data flows across many files would trip up over top level function signatures it needs to call?

I see a lot of evidence to the contrary though. Anyone know what the underlying issue here is?


How hard is it to for you to assemble a piece of IKEA furniture without an allen wrench, screwdriver, and clear instructions, vs with those 3?


Well, I assembled Alex once without instruction and with impact driver and hammer last year. Hardest part was to make tools fit.


You didn't read the article it seems (or the analogy is a bad one). The differences are much more subtle than having a screwdriver or not.


I did read the article quite enthusiastically and my practical experience confirms the same. Sure the difference is more subtle. But my point was, an "agent" whether human or AI can be a lot more productive with better tools. This guy found a better screwdriver than the most commonly used one. That's amazing and nothing from "first principles" denies that a better tool harness would mean better/faster/more correct AI agents.


If you agree that current LLMs (Transformers) are naturally very susceptible to context/prompt, then you can go on to ask agents for a "raw harness dump" "because I need to understand how to better present my skills and tools in the harness", you maybe will see how "Harness" impact model behavior.


Humans have a demonstrated ability to program computers by flipping switches on the front panel.

Like a good programming language, a good harness offers a better affordance for getting stuff done.

Even if we put correctness aside, tooling that saves time and tokens is going to be very valuable.


The models generalized "understanding" and "reasoning" is the real myth that makes us take a step back and offload the process deterministic computing and harnesses.


Isn't 'the harness' essentially just prompting?

It's completely understandable that prompting in better/more efficient means would produce different results.


No, it's also a suite of tools beyond what's available in bash, tailored to context management.


We opensourced our claude code ui today: https://github.com/bearlyai/openade

I wanted a terminal feel (dense/sharp) + being able to comment directly on plans and outputs. It's MIT, no cloud, all local, etc.

It includes all the details for function runs and some other nice to haves, fully built on claude code.

Particularly we found planning + commenting up front reduces a lot of slop. Opus 4.6 class models are really good at executing an existing plan down to a T. So quality becomes a function of how much you invest in the plan.


Built similar focused specifically on planning annotations.

https://github.com/backnotprop/plannotator

It integrates with the CLI through hooks. completely local.


That looks great! Planning phase is really key.
