cloudking··on Fable 5 – Median thinking declined in August
How do you create repeatable tests in a non-deterministic system? Every time you send the same prompt you get a different answer.
cloudking··on Qwen Image 2.1
Those simple prompts produce nearly the exact same layout in the 2 different models?
cloudking··on Setting up your spare Mac for Claude Code to control, a step-by-step guide
Pretty much doing everything that takes more time doing manually on computers
cloudking··on United Wizards of the Coast recognized by NLRB
It's painfully obvious these decisions were not made by people who play Magic
cloudking··on Uber's $1,500/month AI limit is a useful signal for AI tool pricing
They are also beholden to enterprise pricing and can't use the subsidized consumer max plans.
cloudking··on Ask HN: Who is using OpenClaw?
Definitely worth following for ideas.

How did you solve memory in your system?

I ended up using QMD + custom skills to keep it up to date as new data comes in. Essentially a cross-referenced set of markdown files forming a knowledge base: https://github.com/tobi/qmd

cloudking··on Ask HN: Who is using OpenClaw?
Tried it for a few weeks, was really buggy and unpredictable.

Kudos for the concept though, I ended up rolling my own agentic system with Claude Code from scratch that works much more reliably for my use cases.

cloudking··on Ask HN: Chromebook leads for K-8 school in need?
You should open the issue with your IT department and see if they can optimize the performance. You can gather proof that GoGuardian is causing slow downs by looking at it's memory usage in the Task Manager (right click empty area in Chrome tab bar).
cloudking··on Show HN: Rowboat – AI coworker that turns your work into a knowledge graph (OSS)
I'd be happy to meet and discuss. I will reach out.
cloudking··on Show HN: Rowboat – AI coworker that turns your work into a knowledge graph (OSS)
The knowledge graph is well done. I think what's missing from all coworking apps is the UX.

Prompting is a very specialized skill, average users just don't know what to ask for to get the most out of the LLMs.

Ideally the UX should organize and surface information to the user that is important automatically, without needing to be prompted.

cloudking··on Claude Cowork runs Linux VM via Apple virtualization framework
/sandbox https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sandboxing
cloudking··on Why we built our own background agent
We use https://devin.ai for this and it works very well. Devin has it's own virtual environment, IDE, terminal and browser. You can configure it to run your application and connect to whatever it needs. Devin can modify the app, test changes in the browser and send you a screen recording of the working feature with a PR.
cloudking··on Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions
Why is OpenCode better than Claude Code?
cloudking··on Show HN: I replaced Beads with a faster, simpler Markdown-based task tracker
Nice solution, I had some success with https://www.task-master.dev/ it's a bit more complex though
cloudking··on 2025: The Year in LLMs
For connecting agents to third-party systems I prefer CLI tools, less context bloat and faster. You can define the CLI usage in your agent instructions. If the MCP you're using doesn't exist as a CLI, build one with your agent.
cloudking··on Alphabet tops $100B quarterly revenue for first time, cloud grows 34%
Well kind of. They use the same data center infrastructure, with internal versions of the external GCP services.
cloudking··on Docker Systems Status: Full Service Disruption
I'm fairly new to Docker. Do folks really rely on public images and registries for production systems? Seems like a brittle strategy.
cloudking··on Building an LLM agent on your GDrive data with Vertex AI
Built something similar and it worked quite well. Gemini Flash models are very performant and low cost for these types of solutions.
cloudking··on Show HN: Rift – A tiling window manager for macOS
For me it's about the least amount of hand/wrist movement. Trackpad + Swish feels natural and reduces strain.
cloudking··on Show HN: Rift – A tiling window manager for macOS
Pretty cool, but nothing beats Swish if you're using a Macbook trackpad https://highlyopinionated.co/swish/
cloudking··on After nine years of grinding, Replit found its market. Can it keep it?
I took it for a spin spin to build a simple task manager. It worked for 45 minutes, built half the solution and then asked me for money. Compared to the other options in this space, it seems like an expensive solution.
cloudking··on Magic Wormhole: Get things from one computer to another, safely
Another simple solution works on LAN https://pairdrop.net/
cloudking··on Sora 2
Most people in the world only have a phone, no computer. Their window to software is the App Store or Play Store.
cloudking··on I only use Google Sheets
Built entire businesses on Google Sheets and Apps Script. Powerful combo.
cloudking··on Pairing with Claude Code to rebuild my startup's website
What languages do you use?

- HTML, JavaScript, Python, PHP, Rust

What kind of projects?

- Web apps (consumer and enterprise), games

Do you maintain these projects or is this for greenfield development?

- Both, I have my own projects and client projects

Could you fix any bugs without Claude?

- Yes, I have decades of software development experience

Are these projects tested, who writes the tests. If it's Claude how do you know these tests actually test something sensible?

- For serious projects yes, I will define the test cases and have Claude build them out along with any additional cases it identifies. I use planning mode heavily before any code gets written.

Is anybody using these projects and what do users think of using these projects?

- Yes, these are real projects in production with real users :) They love them

cloudking··on Pairing with Claude Code to rebuild my startup's website
I've tried them for some more complex projects, but I've found as long as I am working on isolated features/bugs, with good component breakdowns the agents won't cross paths. Planning mode also helps because you know exactly which files will be modified before going into execution mode.

If you want to keep features in separate Git worktrees, https://conductor.build/ is pretty nice.

cloudking··on Pairing with Claude Code to rebuild my startup's website
I can build fullstack projects about 5x faster than I used to.
cloudking··on Pairing with Claude Code to rebuild my startup's website
I use the 20x max plan, so rarely hit the limit. You can add token usage to /statusline
cloudking··on Pairing with Claude Code to rebuild my startup's website
Nothing fancy, I use Ghostty and split view. You can split one window into as many panes as you like.
cloudking··on Pairing with Claude Code to rebuild my startup's website
I run 4 to 8 Claude Codes in parallel daily, AMA
