My understanding: it’s like tmux but the session lives on a server instead of one machine and you can open it on your computer/phone/etc

Bright Data ranks #1 on Foil's leaderboard [1], but is still detected. ScrapFly is #4 and ZenRows #7. And I guess Capsolver isn't really a scraping thing but is more just for the c…

This (agent detection) is now a kind of emerging space. Obviously it'll get much more important, too. Other products in the space: - Foil ( https://usefoil.com/ ), I'm biased, a fr…

This is often, but not always, also what stand up comedy is.

I think of computer use as like last mile delivery. APIs and bash and such are the efficient logistics networks. Both have different benefits. Obviously, use the efficient methods …

Awesome, thanks for checking it out.

I also went a bit overboard on the UI. Some of the backstory: - I'd seen Boris's X thread of lesser known claude code features - I taught two of my non-technical friends some claud…

Thanks for answering!

> market uptake. I think the market uptake of Claude Cowork is already massive.

My view is different. Agent products have access to tools and to write and run code. This makes them much more useful than raw models.

The history of both knowledge work and software engineering seems to be increasing in both volume and complexity, feels reasonable to me to bet on both of those trendlines increasi…

Yes, and the same thing will happen in non-coding knowledge work too. Making knowledge work cheaper will cause complexity to increase, more knowledge work.

My current expectation is that the Cowork/Codex set of "professional agents" for non-technical users will be one of the most important and fastest growing product categories of all…

I was sent this and thought it looked pretty interesting. I and others collected more sandbox tools here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47102258 .

Surprised that no one commented on the clever title!

I think this is smart and very interesting. I see it like an aggregator marketplace. A powerful position to be in. Cloudflare, GitHub (if they shipped more), Anthropic and OpenAI a…

I'm not the OP, though it seems the context for this is (via @esotericpigeon): https://github.com/karpathy/autoresearch/pull/92
