I’m building a heavily parallel dataflow system. I thought Rust might be good for concurrency.

this is the same thing we said about offices in the fluorescent era

I tried that, but the Rust build process was too painful, and agents seemed to burn a lot of tokens guessing how to get the code to compile. I rewrote my project in Elixir and it’s been going much more smoothly

a tmux session where every window is a claude code instance in a different checkout of the repo and then an MCP+Channels system that let’s the claudes DM each other plus the Telegram channel so one of the claudes can talk to me over text me

I think this article underestimates how weird things could get if we had low employment but a vast surplus of material goods. I don’t think a society has ever really been in that position

no, but they weren’t exactly churning out new features in the 2010s either

I could not agree less. People used to call Python “executable pseudocode” - in that spirit, Haskell is executable pseudo-math. If you’ve done enough higher math that a professor’s whiteboard notation feels natural to you, then Haskell migh

it was kind of a miracle that it held together as well as it did pre-Microsoft. I think to some degree, they got lucky, and were able to coast on being in the right place at the right time. And then because they were so central they attract

This is just CRDT merges and better diffs?? I think the future of version control is much, much weirder than this. Like if you have CRDTs why not have ephemeral branches with real-time collaborative editing and live CI as you type

one of the other head-exploding experiences from that startup was when a major cell-phone company sat down with us and said, we have an idea: the ad-free cell phone. What if, every time a website would normally show an ad, we just paid them

by jes5199 6mo ago
it was a single monthly subscription to a bundle, and the clever part is we would measure time spent on each site and divide up the money proportionally, so the site you spent the most time reading would get paid the most. Our founder had t

yes perhaps only the big players have this problem

by jes5199 6mo ago
I used to work at a startup that was trying to replace ads as the funding source for news (we failed, obviously) but the crazy thing we discovered is that the people who run news websites mostly don’t know where their ads are coming from, h

instead of committing code, we should just save videos of all of the zoom meetings about the code

there’s a million small scale AI apps that just aren’t worth building because there’s no way to do the billing that makes sense. If anthropic wanted to own that market, they could introduce a bring-your-own-Claude metaphor, where you login

I was wondering when I’d see someone try this! I started work on a very similar idea last year but kept getting distracted by weirder and weirder ideas along the way, and never shipped anything. So, bravo!

I asked Claude a few days ago and it said it didn’t have access to the /clear command? maybe it was wrong or maybe that has changed

I guess I feel like if we’re rewriting device drivers then we’re in a turing tarpit. I think there’s room for innovation at what is traditionally considered the application level - we run git, postgres, document stores etc as applications.
23.
by jes5199 8mo ago
I’m actually building an “OS” that’s up a level. it’s more like git, it has a concept of files but they’re documents in a distributed store. I can experiment with interaction patterns without caring about device drivers

I forked the anthropic Ralph Wiggum plugin: https://github.com/jes5199/chief-wiggum there’s some debate about whether this is in the spirit of the _original_ Ralph, because it keeps too much context history around. But
25.
by jes5199 8mo ago
I’m not sure it still makes sense to do OS research so close to the metal. Most computing is done up on the application level, and our abstractions there suck, and I haven’t seen any evidence that “everything is a file” helps much in a worl

I've been using Telegram bot to talk to a Claude SDK agent who talks to my Claudes via tmux commands (all running on a DigitalOcean VPS)

Cursor makes it easier to watch what the model is doing and to also make edits at the same time. I find it useful at work where I need to be able to justify every change in a code review. It’s also great for getting a feel for what the mode

I think this might be the way forward, Claude is great at project managing. I’m already telling Claude to ask Codex for a code review on PRs. or another fun pattern I found is you can use give the web version of Codex an open ended task lik
