Skidaddle··on GPT-5.6
A few less obvious niceties of Codex:

- built-in image generation using your subscription, which can be super handy

- can actually edit Google Docs and Google Sheets (Claude can only create new or sometimes append)

- I get a surprising amount of mileage out of the $20 plan

They both have their places for sure.

This is unfortunately how I feel about AR in general, despite having worked in the space for a while.
Skidaddle··on TinyWind: A pixel pirate sailing game with real wind physics (380k+ kms sailed)
Very cute aesthetic and reminiscent of Pirates!

I am lazy and would request a settings toggle to automatically adjust the sail angles for me for optimal speed given my bearing.

Here’s the initial post about! https://www.instagram.com/p/DUeWPKPEqQB/?igsh=bjJiM3VlM3ZxZ3...

I have this delusion of grandeur about starting a movement to take all of the mostly-idle 3D printers in people’s homes and to use them to create little tokens of joy in people’s neighborhoods.

Over 90% of people who've ever had DHMO have died.
Skidaddle··on Ask HN: Any interesting niche hobbies?
I’ve started making what I “joy machines” that I am putting up in or near my neighborhood. They’re some combination of public interactive art (e.g. push a button and it prints out a compliment) and little art on display that I design and 3D print for people to take.

Won’t you have tons of driver problems though vs an RPi? It would be super convenient packaging as an SBC though !
Skidaddle··on Universal Claude.md – cut Claude output tokens by 63%
To me it’s as simple as “who knows best how to harness the premier LLM – Anthropic, the lab that created it, or this random person?”

That’s why I’m only interested in first party tools over things like OpenCode right now.

Skidaddle··on $3 ChromeOS Flex stick will revive old and outdated computers
That was basically my question – why install ChromeOS instead of a light Linux distro?
Skidaddle··on Agents that run while I sleep
How exactly do you set up your CC sessions to do this?
Skidaddle··on $3 ChromeOS Flex stick will revive old and outdated computers
Interesting idea - could it be done for a Linux distro?

Skidaddle··on Meta acquires Moltbook
I think the issue is pretending the agents are all acting autonomously when they do outrageous or even mildly interesting things, but it’s all prompted behavior and not truly emergent behavior.
