I am developing a project that makes running in Apple Container (Docker is an alternate runtime for Linux) more convenient: https://github.com/gregwebs/claude-contained/ It blocks …

Thanks for pointing to that project- I am glad there are more options out there and hope to discover more. Requiring a root docker setup is a non-starter for me though and I am oth…

Taste ends up providing tangible value. If you have taste in writing code, you spend less time on bugs and can implment features more quickly. This is still true with LLMs if you l…

Sandboxes laregely solve this. The claude/codex built in sandboxes with prompting setup is not good enough. On Mac you now have Apple Container which is a lightweight Linux VM. You…

Just ran it on a small repo. It ran for almost an hour and then got interrupted. It drained half my weekly usage on a Pro plan. npx codex-security scan . [00:00] Preparing scan [00…

I thought the new trust model was to ask the frontier cybersecurity model to hack your code and generate CVEs and to find the vulnerabilities ahead of time and fix them before rece…

MikroTik is one of the only companies that sells a router without WiFi at a non enterprise price. Useful for me to completely turn the power off at night to a separate WiFi (router…

I run my AI agent as a different user (in addition to using the sandbox functionality provided by cc/codex). It does not seem possible to run the Codex GUI as a different user. I c…

I’m trying out foldkit.dev now. It lacks Elms elegance but you have access to ecosystem: it’s just Typescript. Here’s their Elm comparison: https://foldkit.dev/elm/foldkit-vs-elm-s…

No code review by default goes against actual established evidence (there is little of this for software development practice) that code review is the best way to find defects. I a…

There’s also typed fp on Go: https://lisette.run/ The Go runtime, toolchain, and ecosystem are great- it makes sense to target it.

All these conversations seem like they are missing talking about planning vs execution. I want the best possible frontier model to plan out my changes. I also have a 2nd agent that…

This seems like it has potential to create a lot of load on a site- are there settings to set how fast it clones or avoid images/videos? Is there a way to only get a subset of a we…

This is fascinating after learning about and rading Peter Turchin's concept of Eelite overproduction [1]. The theory is that much of society's conflicts are actually fights between…

Is this the same Portal device that they disabled every feature on other than Messenger and WhatsApp calls that I can now only use as a bluetooth speaker?

I see these claims pop up occasionally and I have found them both very overstated but potentially insightful. With a perspective that goes farther back in time and a wider geograph…

I think Spain is showing that majority renewables can work, if you are willing to work through the pain. Someone needs to lead the way and figure out how to make it work, so I am g…

I think 2) is a lot more complicated to the point statements like that are misleading. Take a look Graph of energy consumption of China which is about double the US: https://ourwor…

These reports are inferring a lot from 1 year trends that are often changing only around 1%. Certainly it is great if new energy is coming mostly from cleaner sources, but the idea…

The difference is that Go has its own linker rather than using a system linker. Another article could explain the benefits of tighter integration and the drawbacks of this approach…

Functional programming is immutable by default. TypeScript and many other typed languages don't really stop you from clobbering things, particularly with concurrency. Rust does. Bu…

The recent move away from phonics has been disastrous, and states that are using phonics now are seeing better results. > Some have called it the “Mississippi miracle” ... > A clea…

Is there a way to just use this as a computer monitor? That’s what the Viture glasses are and it’s great to have a portable monitor that focuses at a longer distance.

Navidrome looks nice but it looks like it is Desktop only. I am using Plexamp as well. I tried some alternatives but couldn't get them to work reliably. People miss Plexamp as an o…
