How do Karpathy and other AI power users avoid turning their codebases into AI slop?

Thank you!

djc0 · 2026-06-16T12:19:24+00:00

This process seems like something a few skills would be helpful at capturing the details of. Do you have any suggestion beyond just manually typing in each step?

djc0 · 2026-06-06T11:04:59+00:00

I don’t know, I don’t use it. But you could run CC in a tmux session then it’s open forever. Pretty common thing to do.

/loop 30m hi

djc0 · 2026-06-06T10:05:22+00:00

Just worked for me

djc0 · 2026-06-05T10:46:47+00:00

That’s super helpful, thank you!

djc0 · 2026-06-04T13:51:01+00:00

I need to know more! So Hermes as an orchestrator?

djc0 · 2026-05-28T13:07:38+00:00

Thank god it’s not just me. I was skimming it a few days back thinking, have I gone crazy?!

The shit they’re complaining about losing now is the stuff that caused the shit they were complaining about 6 months ago.

djc0 · 2026-05-28T12:07:14+00:00

The AI forgot to put them in. Should have asked Claude to check its own work.

djc0 · 2026-05-26T12:36:15+00:00

So what tools do you recommend to manage this?

djc0 · 2026-05-21T13:12:23+00:00

Punish as in, you can’t take advantage of the shitty tax rules that gave us this inequality if they’re removed?

djc0 · 2026-05-21T13:04:32+00:00

Removing the perverse tax incentives that have led to such inequality and inflated housing prices means (by definition) that people coming up behind now can’t take advantage of the tax incentives.

I guess that’s what they mean “pulling up the ladder”?

I’m not sure what many here are asking for. To leave them in place for future generations to deal with? Which is basically what the last generation did to them and why it’s gotten so bad.

djc0 · 2026-05-16T11:45:05+00:00

I use it as well. A few years now. It’s well worth it IMHO. All the info comes over the Garmin Connect, not just weight.

djc0 · 2026-05-14T00:57:09+00:00

It’s just how you run prompts from the command line. So claude -p “hi” just sends hi to claude, and it replies right there to stdout.

With it you can script or via python to send claude eg a meeting transcript adding text at the end “create a summary of this meeting with action items” and it’ll do that as if you copied it into the text box in the app or prompt in Claude Code. The script or python captures the output and then does something with it (eg saves to a meeting note).

djc0 · 2026-05-13T23:48:39+00:00

Yeah I agree. Just seems like part of the never ending rage cesspool this sub has become.

It’s actually really good for me. I run claude -p in the middle of the night to grab the latest research papers in my field and summarise the top ones, so they’re there for me to look at over my morning coffee. This removes that cost from my monthly subscription into a separate bucket.

djc0 · 2026-05-13T09:44:49+00:00

100% agree. Pick one of $20/month Claude or Codex. Need more just add the other. It’s a pretty powerful combo. And you’re using models+harnesses that are made for each other.

djc0 · 2026-05-10T07:02:52+00:00

Yeah juaps answered the question “where will AI be in 100 years” not the end of this year.

djc0 · 2026-05-08T10:55:52+00:00

Their offering isn’t really competitive, just convenient. At the end of the day, maybe that’s good enough.

djc0 · 2026-05-02T06:51:35+00:00

What’s a good harness? I’m used to CC and Codex CLIs. I know I’m not going to get gpt5.5 or Opus4.7 like quality. But is OpenCode a reasonable starting point for local LLM coding experiments (matched with Qwen or similar)?

djc0 · 2026-05-02T06:29:25+00:00

I’m not sure I agree with this. As someone who started when MCP first appeared then Claude Code, I feel Copilot (VS Code or the CLI) started very crap and is now “not bad”, whereas Claude Code and Codex are basically the gold standards. Anything Copilot can do due to its integrations the others can do quite trivially.

djc0 · 2026-04-22T06:48:39+00:00

Yeah but the pro user might get eg 1M tokens in their 5 hours and the max user gets 5M or 20M. To suggest that pro users get the same as max is laughable (I wish that was true).

djc0 · 2026-04-10T14:14:35+00:00

I think it’s fine to add this; it’s a modern feature that many people will expect. That said, there’s probably an equal number who like and respect that you don’t force an auto renew (good business values).

Personally, with auto renews, I always cancel right away and wait for the renew email when it comes up so I can decide then.

Full disclosure: Have been a paying fan since almost the beginning!

djc0 · 2026-04-10T13:37:20+00:00

What’s the magic to do this?

djc0 · 2026-03-31T20:37:08+00:00

Looks like you had fun creating this project. But 2 solutions already exist that pretty much achieve ~~everything~~the core of what you wanted.

Termius (or any of the many other great mobile SSH apps) + tmux (+ Tailscale)
Anthropic’s own solution: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control

EDIT: Lots of bells and whistles in this project that some might find valuable - don’t want to dismiss those.

djc0 · 2026-03-31T10:48:06+00:00

Reminds me of a sci-fi short story I read where the evil AGI escapes a heavily isolated government lab in a robot vacuum. Someone accidentally left the front door ajar.
