The way I interpret this is:

After some inactivity it goes into some dormant mode. Where it will only consume some storage. The next time someone tries to access this artifact it just restores a snapshot from last working state.

I guess the public url part is working similar to how OpenAI and their Sites are. E.g: their personally only available to you, until you change the sharing options.

I think this happened around Opus 4.5 or 4.5 and the same for GPT 5.4.

The more I use those models, harnesses, techniques for guidance etc etc. The more I land in going back to writing software by hand again. Maybe not all of it, but at least the crucial parts + foundations.


This cycle was expected. Then surely in few years comes the next, which will be better structured in a more comprehensive way.

I used sublime text over so many years. Still find it to be a marvel when it comes to large text files, and how well it still handles them


I still don't see a point in switching from Sublime to VS Code. If I need to SSH in to my server, I have options there. But Sublime does everything I need it to do and it does it faster and cleaner and just better than the alternatives.


At this point the main advantage VS Code has is its ecosystem. I tried to switch back to VS Code a while ago but most of its plugins are outdated / haven't been updated in five years. It's not the whole story of course, but it just feels like it's no longer able to keep up.

In hindsight, part of me wishes I stuck with it for longer. I enjoyed working in it in a way that later editors didn't capture. That said, counterpoint, that was when I wrote a lot of JS in the early NodeJS days, when things like typing or even cmd+clicking on references didn't reliably work because there was no standard module system. Memorizing filenames and the like was still important then.


Thank you for answering these questions. Looking forward for the next write up about this.


I had a similar issue with mine. But was able to reset it with Fn + z + j for a couple of seconds.


It took me way too many years before I set this as a default in my profile files.

The funny thing is. I kept missing this detail every time I read through git. Feels like I was blind to the whole concept of it


Super cool! how long did it take to generate all those custom images?


Thanks! On my desktop it takes around 20 minutes to generate a full sky render with 1.8 billion stars (down to around 22 magnitude).


Oh woah!

I've been trying to get microsandbox to play nicely. But this is much closer to what I actually need.

I glimpsed through the site and the script. But couldn't really see any obvious gotchas.

Any you've found so far which hasn't been documented yet?


Pure TUI is solid - I’ve been running all my pets inside that cage for several weeks with no issues. Auto-updates work, session renewals work, config updates work etc.

But lately I’ve been using agents to test via browsers, and starting headless browsers from the agent is flakey. I’m working on that but it’s hard to find a secure default to run Chrome.

In the repo, I have policies for running the Claude desktop app and VSCode inside the same sandbox (so can do yolo mode there too), so there is hope for sandboxing headless Chrome as well.


Yee I gotcha.

Did a migration myself last week from using playwright mcp towards playwright-cli instead. Which has been playing much nicer so far. I guess you would run into the same issues you've already mentioned about running chrome headless in one of these sandboxes.

I'll for sure keep an eye out for updates.

Kudos to the project!


playwright-cli works out of the box, and I just merged support for agent-browser. If you end up testing out Safehouse, and have any issues, just create an issue on GitHub, and I'll check it out. Browser usage is definitely among my use cases.


I really don't have any numbers to back this up. But it feels like the sweet spot is around ~500k context size. Anything larger then that, you usually have scoping issues, trying to do too much at the same time, or having having issues with the quality of what's in the context at all.

For me, I would say speed (not just time to first token, but a complete generation) is more important then going for a larger context size.


Very nice!

I've been experimenting with a similar setup. And I'll probably implement some of the things you've been doing.

For the proxy part I've been running https://www.mitmproxy.org/ It's not fully working for all workflows yet. But it's getting close
