I wish I had the opposite of this. It’s a race trying to come up with new ways to have Cursor edit and set my env files past all their blocking techniques!


Like this? (Obfuscated, from agent and history)

If you wouldn't upload keys to github, why would you trust them to cursor?


A local .env should be safe to put on your T shirt and walk down times square.

Mysql user: test

Password: mypass123

Host: localhost

...


STRIPE_SECRET_KEY="op://81 Dev environment variables/Stripe - dev - API keys/STRIPE_SECRET_KEY"

How does that prevent an agent from leaking it once it's read into context?


Great question. I just checked, and because I launch my entire VSCode with `op run …` (which makes dev life easier), Claude reports that it can read my dev secrets.

I could prevent this by running Claude outside of this context. I'm not going to, because this context only has access to my dev secrets. Hence the vault name: `81 Dev environment variables`.

I've configured it so that the 1P CLI only has access to that vault. My prod secrets are in another vault. I achieve this via a OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN variable set in .zshrc.

I can verify this works by running:

    op run --env-file='.env.production' -- printenv
    [ERROR] 2026/01/15 21:37:41 "82 Prod environment variables" isn't a vault in this account. Specify the vault with its ID or name.
Also, of course, 1Password pops up a fingerprint request every time something tries to read its database. So if that happened unexpectedly, I'd wonder what was up. I'm acutely conscious of those requests.

I can't imagine it's perfect, but I feel pretty good.


Create a symlink to .env from another file and ask cursor to refer it if name is the concern regarding cursor (I don't knowhow cursor does this stuff)


It’s unlikely the students at Brown killed were targeted. He opened fire on a room of students at a review session, shooting 11 people. It seems very possible that this was an act of violence out of resentment towards Brown, where he dropped out a graduate program over 20 years ago. He would’ve had most of his classes and spent most of his time in the building where he carried out the shooting.

He appears to have attended the same undergraduate program in Portugal as the MIT professor.

Therefor it seems possible that these shootings were carried out of personal resentment, though only he knew for certain.


I grew up in a very warm place, then moved to a very cold place and was miserable. I’d never done a winter and every year I was deeply unhappy for huge spans of the year.

But then I moved to Denmark from that cold place and found myself very happy! Of course circumstances change and a single account means little but I definitely believe some societies lend themselves to greater happiness than others, even in the very developed world.


I believe they’re just classifying all models into “reasoning models” eg o3 vs “non reasoning models” eg 4o and just doing a comparison of total tokens (input tokens + hidden reasoning output tokens + shown output tokens)


that's exactly right!


hell yeah, 109 out of 10 doors opened! 99 bonus doors! what are you talking about, man?


This is really amazing data. Super interesting read


Ah yes. The big tech employees of Amazon and Microsoft, the common folk.


Meta doesn't actually owe the bank anything in this setup. That would be Blackrock and the other private creditors.

I agree with this. It's a critique you'll hear often from intellectual elites who prefer NYC. But most people, even in the bay area, are people with many interests who don't talk about intellectual things all the time!

"Mid-tier cities" are great too and have rich social fabrics if you look for them as well!


I mean, he did get convicted of a felony.
