Are they working on the Voynich Manuscript? That seems like something an LLM would be good at.

The author mentions it briefly, but I'd like to see more exploration of what we can do differently now that we're all online all the time. I think that could potentially enable a Git-level revolution in the way we do things, similar to the way unlimited disk space did for Git.

They do.

Surprisingly to remove small numbers of rows in multiple tables (e.g. cleanup between automated tests), DELETE is often faster than TRUNCATE! It's counterintuitive but just measure it for yourself and see. Note you can DELETE from multiple tables in one statement using CTEs, and that way you don't need to think about foreign key dependency order.

"the machine can’t even write good yet"

How about instead of a contrived take-home project or doing unpaid "real work" for the company, we ask candidates to do n hours of work on an open source project?

That's real useful work, if we don't hire them they can show it off to a different hiring company, and it makes the world a better place.

Public libraries are funded and supported by the public though. They need attention, and if you read the other comments on this post it's almost like most of these people don't even realise that public libraries exist.

That was a lovely video, thank you.

Can't build iOS apps on anything else sadly.

I caught Claude using docker (running as root) to access files on my machine it couldn't read using it's user.

Naming this after a distopia may be unintentionally apt...

I'm using Catnip (https://github.com/wandb/catnip). It runs Claude Code in YOLO mode inside a Docker container, and also manages multiple Claude instances running in Git worktrees. I'm pretty happy with it but would be happier if it addressed limiting network access to guard against exfiltration.

Consider how authorization is going to work. You can't trust the client!

Tangential: a friend of mine growing up refused to read Ayn Rand, because he said that everyone he knew that had read her books turned into assholes, and he didn't want to become an asshole too.

Can these be used inside inline style attributes?

It's working, just a bit fiddly to setup.

I've been using Catnip for this: https://github.com/wandb/catnip

Very similar features, Catnip is Claude Code specific and does everything in a Docker container so you can more safely run in YOLO mode and the Git worktrees don't make a mess on your host filesystem or checkout. Also is mobile responsive which is cute.

Struggling with the same thing right now. I'm trying to make it work by generating unique ports for each instance so they don't conflict. Not quite 100% successful yet.

I recently started using Catnip (https://github.com/wandb/catnip) for this. Catnip also automatically manages multiple Git worktrees, and has a responsive UI for mobile.

Love this!

Reminds me of this toy I made some years ago: https://www.npmjs.com/package/polyglot-tag

What are the pros and cons of this compared to CockroachDB?

Also important to know that if you're accessing disk, database, or network those are so slow that this stuff probably doesn't matter.

Similar to Leslie Cochran in Austin.

This looks awesome but what is the end state (pun intended) going to be? Will this be an open source project? Commercial closed-source? Somewhere in between?

Replacing the current social media giants is incredibly hard because of network effects and lock-in. Could we instead implement most of the OP's ideas with a client for an existing social media site that filters out all the crap?

I have literally never seen that happen in practice. The prototype code always evolves to become the product.

So many haters here! I'd love it if Claude could help me write some bookmarklets or UserScripts to improve some clunky sites I have to use.
