Even Wall Street bets was mocking it on Reddit. You know it’s bad when the apes turn on one of their champions.


you have to take into account that reddit in general is completely Anti-Elon. He could cure cancer and folks on that site would find a way to blame billionares.


Okay but he also hasn't cured cancer, hasn't delivered full self driving, and this car is not useful as a car in anyway.

Any sign of the tens of thousands of Optimus robots?


No top of the line car is useful as a car. That’s not the point of them.


It probably has more to do with what he has actually done than what he might theoretically do with all his wealth and power in some alternate reality where he was a decent human being.


You have TDS


Mandatory publication of position letters would also help.


I use them. Daily. Gemini hasn’t been a contender by comparison for a long time.


I wonder if it's a harness thing or a model thing at this point. I feel all coding models are quite capable for most tasks I want them to do.

Most of the time I don't need what the bench tests and I'm not really giving them completely ambiguous tasks without any refinement.

I only find marginal differences between models at this point and it almost feels like personality quirks in each model than anything.


When comparing OpenAI and Claude thats pretty much true, but not Gemini... And have you tried Antigravity? Yikes


The CLI version of agy is great. Have you tried it?


Do you dangerously allow permissions? I absolutely cannot use it until they ship an auto approver. As it is now I have it write one bash/python script to do everything it wants to, then I review that. Otherwise it is COMPLETELY unusable and it shocks me when I hear people are using it.


Sounds like they shipped some changes today that might reduce approvals: https://x.com/antigravity/status/2100001904969297980

Why not allow everything? It's not like it can do much inside the container.


Yes, but I dangerously allow claude and codex, too...


is anti gravity open sourced just like codex or grok code?


Compared to gemini-cli that they took out behind the woodshed, I hate it.


I've used Antigravity as my main coding agent on one of my biggest projects for about a year. It's been great for me. (and I use Claude, Codex, Grok and Muse for all the other projects)


True but it has a niche in SQL reviews for me. Looks like Google has a lot of good sql in their corpus and in their RL digital lobotomy factory.


I did a test involving implementing cobol control flow in Java for a source to source translation project. Gemini was the only model to get the edge cases. Cobol is very peculiar in this regard.


It's very good at Elixir in my experience too. And it just does what I ask and doesn't wind me up like Opus. I don't think I've had to insult it more than once per day.


I had a typical $20 Gemini plan that I just downgraded to their $5 plan (to keep access to some of the models). It had been so long since I let Gemini work on (or review) any code / design / html (anything) that I couldn't justify bothering to keep wasting money on it. It fell behind badly over the past year. Astra might as well be an alien super intelligence at code compared to Gemini. I enjoy talking to Gemini, it is very good at conversation, I get solid answers to everyday questions. I intend to keep the $5 plan indefinitely for basic use. I don't expect they'll ever resurface as a competitor in coding with Astra & Fable et al.


Astra lets me offload entire projects without worrying about individual tasks…


Do you review the outputs?


Can you show us some of these of projects?


Can you share us your workflow? I am getting dumb outputs even with Astra max.


I configured about a dozen domains to have MX records for the mailinator disposable inbox service for about a decade for free as a gift and the domains were toxic for any other email use case for years afterwards… they were so abused you couldn’t even sign up for most web services with any email associated by the time I stopped renewing them… there are still GitHub lists of disposable email addresses that list to blacklist those domains (and many other), so, I agree. If the big providers don’t offer disposable email addresses there is no good option.


So assuming that I wanted a domain, which would be worthless on any mailing listing and pretty much any service, only good for regular emails, then letting them sit a mailinator aliases for a year or so is a good option?

Sadly mailinator and similar services aren't really working anymore.


No - if you did that, you're likely to end up with an email address which many services will treat as suspicious or reject entirely, both for incoming and outbound mail. And you'll still get spam.


Mailinator was an awesome service when it first worked. Thank you!!!


The reason it's toxic is because the Venn diagram between disposable email addresses and email addresses used for CSAM is a circle: If you accept disposable email and allow users to upload anything, you will have CSAM.

Whereas a Fastmail masked email or iCloud relay is still in the backend tied to your real account and identity which means it provides privacy generally for you but is traceable enough that it is unappealing for predators.


Why CSAM specifically? Isn’t it mostly going to be just vanilla fraud?


Disposable mail providers generate a ton of spam too, but CSAM is illegal to host, so it's pretty risky to allow them unmitigated.

I got the qwen 3.8 abliterated model running on my MacBook Pro M5 48GB and it's pretty nice having a local model that can do a lot of experimentation without rails.


orcarouter or obliteratus?


Agreed. I split my work between Anthropic and OpenAI models but CoWork is deeply integrated into my workflows in compliance and project management. I can do more in a day with these tools than I did in a week before them and I have 20+ years of experience leading teams and building companies (even opened the NASDAQ once). It’s impossible to not be using these tools and still win in today’s world.


Out of curiosity - are you getting more work done in the same amount of time= Do you work less hours, equal or more? Do you felt or feel any exhaustion?


I get more work done but I feel exhausted.


Wonderful. Another tool for domain campers. Just what standards bodies should be spending time on…


I don't get the point, if someone is selling a domain the only content on the site will be advertising that. And you can bet people will forget to delete or not update the record as needed, making it kind of useless.


A parked domain would potentially make more money hosting AI generated “content” to improve its SEO and passive ad revenue. That’s why invested interests have pushed for this side-channel “For sale” sign.


This is what really sucks about domain names


Best explanation I’ve seen. I’m an entrepreneur type. I would fall asleep after two hours of coding to solve a problem. I still remember 100 hours of coding to facilitate a data import into a new application only to realize half my time was wasted because the import library we were using back then didn’t support UTF data (this was a SQL-92 database). I love using an LLM to do the coding.


I built one of these RLM harnesses and a local MCP server along with logging, memories, and project rules based on directories. It worked great for a while but the foundational models have largely caught up to the point where they don't need this harness anymore. At least for my use cases. I can basically just store context in .md in the directories we work out of together and accomplish what I need.


The core idea of the RLM paper is to make a regular LLM act more like a coding agent - offload context to something external that needs to be explicitly queried instead of filling up valuable context. The "recursion" part of the paper really only wins because they use a top-tier model for the root agent, and cheaper models for the sub-agents.

Prime Agent took the RLM idea (which is really just an academic view on how coding agents have always worked) and then added this "continual harness" idea. This part isn't super well described in the blog post, but includes some message passing between the agents, and the ability to share code.

Overall I chalk it up as neat, but not revolutionary. Another version of what most of these systems are already doing.


I went the skills route - skill improvement skill and a rule to use it always. Basically it's directed that if anything causes more than a hop of thinking - failure - try something else it should flag that it needs to learn it as a skill so it never does it other than first shot again or if an existing skill fails improve it after it solves whatever problem. it then syncs the files to a shared location and updates the version and also pulls new skills. this let's a team use it or you have multiple workstations.
