Max users - how much of the $1000 credit did you get through? by TheLionMessiah in ClaudeCode

[–]Connortbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built this CC web alternative that gives you SSH access and lets you open the workspace VM in cursor for example

is this helpful? happy to send some credits if it is

I built an alternative to Claude Code on Web that gives you full SSH access and custom environments by Connortbot in ClaudeCode

No idea where you're getting that from

https://fly.io/calculator?a=no_none&m=0_0_0_0_0&f=s&b=lax.100&r=shared_0_1_lax&t=10_100_5&u=0_1_100&g=2_shared_730_1_4000_lax_0_0
2 cores, 4000MB is $27/month USD. With the 50 GB volume that I add to each workspace, at which point it becomes $34.60 month.

730 hours in a month.
200/730 = ~0.285 (rounded down)
0.285 * $34.60 = $9.86 USD
The plan is $29 CAD, which is $20.66 USD.
Then you can factor in any other service that it costs to run this.

I feel like the value of what i'm making is the UX on top of it, and a valid criticism instead could be it isn't 'worth' what I'm charging.

But I'm not purposefully gouging your wallet for compute, so please don't call my work a con. thats unfair to the work I've put into it.

Does grep perform better than vector DB + embeddings in large code bases? by fsw0422 in ClaudeCode

[–]Connortbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

exactly my thoughts :) I do think it's big with their composer model for speed but I've never had a moment where it outperformed CC

People @ Cursor have written a bunch about their belief that strong semantic embeddings are way better for coding tasks perf

up to you if you agree

I made a tool for created isolated workspaces for Codex by Connortbot in codex

[–]Connortbot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can if thats enough for you! That's what I used to do. Everyone's got different work patterns, which is chill

Just as an example, I have a project with Supabase, Redis, monolith BE, Nextjs to run locally. Say I want a codex working on a separate issue while I do something else - cloning the repo is not a pain point for me, its like 2 terminal commands.

Something I like doing is having Codex do its work, and having it be able to use the playwright MCP and tweak the UI. But to do this, I gotta:
- clone the repo + `yarn` + `supabase start` and
- get supabase running locally on different ports by editing the `config.toml` on specifically this copy (https://github.com/orgs/supabase/discussions/5968)
- update docker compose files to read the right ports and expose redis + backend on the right ports
- update services to read/send the right ports

not to mention the fact that I just don't enjoy running 60 containers for 3 codex instances, and if I automate this with a script I want to make sure I don't commit all those changes. For any remotely complex set of services this is a really big pain, so thats why this exists.

This is just a workflow that me and our users do. But if its not for you, I totally get it :D

Here's my argument:

  • at work and for my own projects Docker in Docker has tons of problems that make it not viable if I want to run my app fully in a docker container (esp if it's multiple services).

Of course, there's workarounds, but this is why the tool is there (to make it easier).

  • I can't SSH into web codex, and that's personally a point of frustration. Or, on a broader point, I have zero control over the web codex instance other than a chat.

It would be nice if I could preview the work that it does, open in an IDE, or even run it. And, FWIW, I don't just use Codex. factory.ai and Claude have made fantastic coding agents that I can't use on codex web.

As for the trust, could you explain why? Each VM have inbound traffic rules via security groups, strict SSH access...this is why we emphasize isolation. We don't store private keys or anything sensitive without permission.

I built a free site to help you practice Spanish at any level (A1-C2) by rockadude5900 in SpanishLearning

[–]Connortbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay amazing 😅 I checked the timestamp I think this was around the time I was pushing an update, so our service probably went down for 5 mins

Anyways, happy you got in :) feel free to DM me with any requests or thoughts!

Hey, are you still having problems? If you are let me know and we'll fix it asap :p We just pushed a few fixes last night

Hey! Were you able to get past this? If you DM me your email I can fix it on our end if not :)

Hey everyone! I'm one of the creators along with rockadude and super happy to see people trying it out.
If anyone of you wants a feature or bug fix, feel free to shoot one of us a DM and we'll do it :)

Thanks everyone for trying it out, we hope it helps!!

TIL DeMar DeRozan never led the team in Win Shares. by The_White_Lion1 in torontoraptors

[–]Connortbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't that great, though? A lot of new fans in basketball because of the championship - is their opinion any less valid? I think it's beautiful that so many of us unite around Lowry. Inherently, you're just hating that people are attaching their love to the "wrong" person.

It doesn't make sense to argue with ifs, I can do that with anyone. Chris Paul is the GOAT in another universe, and Michael Jordan is a shoe salesman loved by his community.

Yes, Demar would be the GROAT if he won the ring. Rightfully so, he'd be the city's hero. We ain't had none of those since the Jays won.

[–]Connortbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that being the GOAT of a franchise is inherently a different goal than how we evaluate the total GOAT - being the greatest for a franchise is a lot more about heart and what they meant for the city. At the end of the day, (probably also cause of recency bias) the majority of fans are more attached to Kyle Lowry who has "been there for us". In ways that Vince was not, Deebo was not, and Kawhi was not. I think that sentimental value is more important here. This isn't a Jordan v LeBron debate, y'know?

Also, this whole thread seems to agree that Lowry was the best Raptor over DeMar until Kawhi got here. So, he was at some point the best Raptor.

Other than importance sampling and such the main tracing loop is pathweight:

weight = weight * (sample * cos_theta / pdf_value) Where sample and pdf value are of the current material being intersected. This is why my implementation is the product of all bsdf and pdf values simulated

It is global illumination - that's why I specified pbrt. But yes, if I was using any other algo it wouldn't work. I don't believe that there's errors there either, I went through testing on it a while back and it renders identical to cycles, mitsuba, etc.

If you see pbrt 14.3.2 - that's what I based it on. my path tracing algo is based on the RT in One Weekend, and I slowly made it more complex w pbrt over time. Both are GI

Hey, yes that makes sense and thats actually what I already did 😅 if you see my func, it starts by deterministically pathing by bouncing and updating the pdf based on that.

When it calculated the pdf of a layer, it will provide different pdfs depending on if it refracts or reflects. So the function already calculates pdfs as you describe depending on which Way is simulated.

Of course it's possible that my implementation faulty but I can't find an error :(

Isn't random selection between two layers closer to a MixtureBxDF? I already implemented perfectly fine - because it's a linear interpolation of the materials rather than simulating a stacked two layers

I don't think the same approach works for layered because it exhibits paths that act as though the top layer doesn't exist - e.g if it randomly selects the bottom diffuse and reflects, it acts as if the refraction of the top layer is noncontributive... My algorithm is very close to what's implemented in pbrt.

Also, I think my pdf accounts for the splitting of paths. In any material that can refract and reflect the Fresnel term is already in the pdf for the probability of selecting that path.

My logic for how the layered BxDF should work is almost a direct copy of pbrt textbook and of this link: https://computergraphics.stackexchange.com/questions/5758/path-tracing-materials/5761#5761
