alt Hacker NewsSix hours of continuous runtime is the underrated part here. Most one-shot demos fall apart well before that, so this doubles as an endurance benchmark.

How do you get it to spend six hours? I’ve done projects where it would have benefited if it put in extra work.

Most of that time may have been spent on testing.

The amount of responses to this obvious bot comment is somewhat sad.

claude slop, like from every comments you posted
Why, I once encountered a running session longer than a day!
The agent had spun up a backward shell script to watch for the shutdown of another process, but wrote a bug in the script that would have left it running indefinitely until I got home and noticed it.
This was with Fable, no less! And it happened a few more times, though I caught them sooner.
I’m not sure runtime is an important metric at all. Shouldn’t we aim for 0 runtime with maximal results?
