Claude Design 3 months ago

This largely appears to be a HTML generator at its core, not necessarily what Figma does with layers/canvases etc. There's no collaborative nature to it either.

It feels like a lightly designed product that moves claude CLI to their backend, generates the HTMLs and renders them in browser on claude.ai website for you. Sure, it accepts your design system as an input from you or imports from your repo, but you could feed the same into claude CLI as well?

I'm curious what exactly it gives besides having claude CLI + prompting it well with your design system + skills.

I see on a daily basis that I prevent Claude Code from running a particular command using PreToolUse hooks, and it proceeds to work around it by writing a bash script with the forbidden command and chmod+x and running it. /facepalm

As I understand it, the problem nowadays doesn't seem to be so much that the agent is going to rm -rf / my host, it's more like it's going to connect to a production system that I'm authorized to on my machine or a database tool, and then it's going to run a potentially destructive command. There is a ton of value of running agents against production systems to troubleshoot things, but there are not enough guardrails to prevent destructive actions from the get-go. The solution seems to be specific to each system, and filesystem is just one aspect out of many.

I'm sorry dude but your last post was also hyping up R1 which was a total disaster. Do you mind actually sharing your experience with OpenClaw, such as how are you orchestrating a project? How much does it cost? How do you prompt it? What tasks do you get done? How much does it actually take to execute on those tasks? What is your interaction with the agent?

    censor from the Internet any sites a shadowy cabal
    of European media elites deemed against their interests
Has he recently gone full conspiracy theorist? (Also what's that cringy chatgpt picture supposed to tell us?) Who is the shadowy cabal of EU elites? If anything EU is purely politicians obedient to USA interests. I'm guessing this is what happens in tech when the tide starts to shift, because tech doesn't have morals, it's all just about money. Start praising the new administration no matter what they do, until they're not popular and start praising the next thing. Looking forward to his back-to-woke pivot in 2 years.

The site says "No signup required!" but then requires signup to actually generate anything. ("Cost 1 credits 0 generations remaining today".) Probably not going to hand out my email for that.

Having been at G and also getting denied promo several times consecutively, it's almost always a manager's fault. They're either not bringing the committee feedback to you properly or not representing your work well in that room. Either way it's a sign that they're unable to do better, and you're better off not reporting to the long term.

Indeed. No disrespect to Justin (great person) or any of the engineers who were sacked but Corey's post here is basically "here's someone who was sacked, and here are several other layoff news". AWS is really big organization. Several orders of magnitude bigger than people who were remote/refused to RTO. Organizations like this survive these brain brains.

Helium Browser 10 months ago

Agreed, and my concern is not a "NSA is monitoring my activity" but more along the lines of whether they have enough funding to staff security research and response for this browser.

It's my common code review comment to the beginners to not embed structs. There's rarely anything to be gained by doing so. The only use case I found to be useful is to embed something like:

    type MockHandlers struct {
        UnimplementedHandlers
    }

    func (m MockServer) LoginHandler{ /* ... */ }
where I get to override only a part of a bigger interface at a time and have the embedding take care of the rest by saying panic("unimplemented") to satisfy the interface.

Maintainers had a project where they ran everything in containers. The project had helped docker itself and the ecosystem by allowing some interesting software to be containerized.

I've been following DBOS for a while and I think the model isn't too different than Azure Durable Functions (which uses Azure Queues/Tables under the covers to maintain state). https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/dura...

Perhaps the only difference is that Azure Durable Functions has more syntactic sugar in C# (instead of DBOS choice being Python) to preserve call results in the persistent storage? Where else do they differ? At the end, all of them seem to be doing what Temporal is doing (which has its own shortcomings and it's also possible to get it wrong if you call a function directly instead of invoking it via an Activity etc)?

Gemini CLI 1 year ago

Are there any LLMs that offer ZSH plugins that integrate with command history, previous command outputs, system clipboard etc to assist writing the next command? Stuff like gemini/copilot CLI don't feel particularly useful to me. I'm not gonna type "?? print last 30 lines of this file"
