mccoyb: Something something medical researcher reinvents calculus.In 2026: frontend web developer reinvents tmux.Guys, please do us the service of pre-filtering your crack token dreams by investigating the tool stack which is already available in the terminal ... or at least give us the courtesy of explaining why your vibecoded Greenspun's 10th something is a significant leg up on what already exists, and perhaps has existed for many years, (and is therefore, in the training set, and is therefore, probably going to work perfectly out of the box).
cossatot: Maybe, just maybe, this is of obvious utility to the many people who have needs that are not yours?I very regularly need to interact with my work through a python interpreter. My work is scientific programming. So the variables might be arrays with millions of elements. In order to debug, optimize, verify, or improve in any way my work, I cannot rely on any other methods than interacting with the code as it's being run, or while everything is still in memory. So if I want to really leverage LLMs, especially to allow them to work semi-autonomously, they must be able to do the same.I'm not going to dump tens of GB of stuff to a log file or send it around via pipes or whatever. Why is there a nan in an array that is the product of many earlier steps in a code that took an hour to run? Why are certain data in a 200k-variable system of equations much harder to fit than others, and which equations are in tension with each other to prevent better convergence?Are interpreters and pdb not great, previously-existing tools for this kind of work? Does a new tool that lets LLMs/agents use them actually represent some sort of hack job because better solutions have existed for years?
hrimfaxi: You can start a tmux session and tell your agent about it and it will happily send commands and get the output from it.I saw this post a while ago that turned me on to the idea: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46570397
joshribakoff: > I'm not going to dump tens of GB of stuff to a log fileIn the same vein as the parent comment, the curiosity is why you would vibe code a solution instead of reaching for grep.
8note: hehe, i made something similar for feedback loop on claude hooks. claude can open another claude instance in the testing folder, and check to see if the hooks fire properly
flux3125: Finally Claude Code can now control Claude Code
