Hey, you do you, I’m glad you appreciate my perspective. I wasn’t trying to catch you out but I see how it came across that way - I apologise for my edit, I had hoped the ;) would show that I meant it in jest rather than in meanness but I s

Wow, thanks for posting that, news to me! In this case I don’t understand why there was a whole brouhaha with OpenClaw and the like - I guess they were invoking it without the official SDK? Because this makes it seem like if you have the su

I don’t want to come off like I’m shitting on the poster here. I’ve definitely made that kind of careless mistake, probably a dozen times this week. And maybe we’re heading to a future where nobody even reads the readme anymore because they

I think these days if I’m going to be actively promoting code I’ve created (with Claude, no shade for that), I’ll make sure to write the documentation, or at the very least the readme, by hand. The smell of LLM from the docs of any project

Yes. Factually wrong and also numerically wrong - Clawdbot -> Moltbot -> OpenClaw, changing names twice, not thrice. To shitpost a little - an LLM editor would have caught that for you, Gary.

For a little while recently I did a weekly vibe game jam for myself using TIC-80 and Claude Code and had the best time. I actually went to college for game development but never really built any games for myself because the time investment

Since we're all posting about our favourite email provider, Purelymail has been one of my best discoveries of the last year or so. Ten dollars a year (though it's expected that price will go up) for as many mailboxes as you like.

Appreciate that. I skimmed it and put it on my reading list for when I have a little more brainpower. I think it will go quite well with a few related In Our Time episodes. I’ve started with one about Authenticity, Heidegger and St Augustin

Seems like a postprocess step on the initial output would fix that kind of thing - maybe a small 'thinking' step that transforms the initial output to match style.

Perhaps so, but there are only 5 uses of 'authentic' which I feel is almost an exact synonym and a similarly common word - I wouldn't think you need a thesaurus for that one. Another relatively semantically close word, '

I expect they co-authored the constitution and other prior 'foundational documents' with Claude, so it's probably a chicken-and-egg thing.

The constitution contains 43 instances of the word 'genuine', which is my current favourite marker for telling if text has been written by Claude. To me it seems like Claude has a really hard time _not_ using the g word in any len

I used this about a year ago when I went through a short Rails phase. I was a bit surprised not to see more Rails-specific UI libraries considering how batteries-included the rest of the framework is, and at the time I didn't really &#

The repo was created in May 2023, and it seems like the bulk of commits were made in 2024, before vibe coding was really a thing. I think it's pretty harsh to dismiss projects in this manner.

Hmm, that benchmark seems a little flawed (as pointed out in the paper). Seems like it may give easier problems for "low-resource" languages such as Elixir and Racket and so forth since their difficulty filter couldn't solve

I tend to think this product is hard for those of us who've been using `claude` for a few months to evaluate. All I have seen and done so far with Cowork are things _I_ would prefer to do with the terminal, but for many people this mig

It seems there's at least _some_ mitigation. I did try to have it use its WebFetch tool (and curl) to fetch a few websites I administer and it failed with "Unable to verify if domain is safe to fetch. This may be due to network r

I do get a "Setting up Claude's workspace" when opening it for the first time - it appears that this does do some kind of sandboxing (shared directories are mounted in).

Agents for other people, this makes a ton of sense. Probably 30% of the time I use claude code in the terminal it's not actually to write any code. For instance I use claude code to classify my expenses (given a bank statement CSV) for

Well, on my Macbook, some of that already exists. In the Shortcuts app you can use the "Use Model" action which offers to run an LLM on apple's cloud, on-device, or other external service (eg ChatGPT). I use this myself alrea
