I usually ask Claude Code to setup a software stack that can build/run whatever I am working on. Then I let it browse a website or navigate through screens. I also use Playwright to get screenshots of the website I am building. For e.g. apps or whatever application you are building, there should be a way to get screenshots too I guess.

Added benefit is that when Claude navigates and finds a bug, it will either add them to a list for human review or fix it automatically.

Pretty much a loop where building and debugging work together;-)

Once Claude Code

Thank you for Claude Code (Web). Google has a similar offering with Google Jules. I got really, really bad results from Jules and was amazed by Claude Code when I finally discovered it.

I compared both with the same set of prompts and Claude Code seemed to be a senior expert developer and Jules, well don't know who be that bad ;-)

Anyway, I also wanted to have persistent information, so I don't have to feed Claude Code the same stuff over and over again. I was looking for similar functionality as Claude projects. But that's not available for Claude Code Web.

So, I asked Claude what would be a way of achieving pretty the same as projects, and it told me to put all information I wanted to share in a file with the filename:.clinerules. Claude told me I should put that file in the root of my repository.

So please help me, is your recommendation the correct way of doing this, or did Claude give the correct answer?

Maybe you can clear that up by explaining the difference between the two files?

What makes me wonder after reading the article, how did AT&T bill its users, especially in its early days.

It was so capital intensive that it must have been earning good money, but without computers, how was their business model?

E.g. a fixed fee per line, or did they have a way to charge its customers per call, or duration of the call as we're now used to?

I hope they will also add a feature that allows you to set a second pin code. That would be useful in case the thief forces you go give him your phone and unlock it e.g by having a gun pointed at you.

If that second pin code is entered the phone will go in anti-theft mode and e.g. hide specific apps, automatically erase it self or whatever you can think of.

In the Netherlands our IRS equivalent does prefill the majority of the requested information automatically as in many other countries, I noticed in other comments.

Obviously this means they are able to gather lots of data from different other government agencies (e.g. annual income is usually prefilled) and banks (so bank account / savings numbers are prefilled)

For the majority of people the convenience will probably prevail over any thoughts about the data collection going on in the background.

Also, for us, at least in the Netherlands and maybe also in many other countries, we are usually happy about all this data sharing, because it saves us filling in many forms / bureaucracy.

If you move to another city, you hardly have to do a thing, the old/new city will automatically inform many government agencies about your new address.

I personally also consider this as very convenient, I am pretty much accustomed to all this data sharing also because the data has to be provided to whomever needs it, and is legally accustomed to receive it, anyway.

However, after reading the linked article, it made me think.

I now wonder,are there people who read what happens in my country and who gets the shivers? E.g. from a privacy perspective?

Since Hitler encouraged violence against a specific population I'd say they would even be legally obliged to remove him from their platform.

From what I understand from Bongino is that he is a really popular conservative and was talking about a specific book that Youtube doesn't like.

Can't find him removed for spreading hatespeech, nor inciting violence.

And if it's true then that's incredibly disturbing to me.

YouTube is so big that they really must try to refrain to remove people for their opinions etc.

Good question, if I am correct there is also a higher chance to develop MS if you are a woman and if you live in the northern hemisphere and some parts of Australia and New Zealand.

Also if you are of Northern European descent the risk is higher if I remember correctly.

Possibly it's a mix of many things and you have to be one of the unlucky people where that mix triggers something in the immune system and the disease develops.

I am very unlucky in that regard.

According to my doctors the number of autoimmune diseases I have is rare in a single person.

I have a sysmetic autoimmune disease (Rheumatoid Artritis) and autoimmune diseases in my kidneys, liver,thyroid, skin and mouth.

So somehow multipe times there were events in my life where a mix of things caused my immune system to turn against me.

A little off-topic, but to give an impression of how that works out in daily life, in case you are also diagnosed with an autoimmune disease.

If you are lucky, there is good medication and you will hardly notice you're ill, except for the checkups with your doctor

I also know some autoimmune diseases can (become) pretty aggressive, but n=1, most people I know with autoimmune diseases have a decent quality of life.

Fortunately, in my case also for each disease there is medication that either supresses the inflammation or the protects my body against the effects of the auto-immune response.

So I take my pills and a bi-weekly injection with a biological and I can continue to live with a decent quality of life.

Except for one important thing, my main remaining symptom is that I have a lot less energy than most people and need much more sleep.

Despite that all inflammation parameters in my blood show no signs of inflammation or activity of the disease, my body somehow loses energy to something.

This seems to be a complaint of many autoimmune illness sufferers, no signs of activity of the ilness, but more tired than before the disease came into their life.

Hopefully there will soon be more developments in this area of medicine.

I just noticed the original story from the Rolling Stone has now also been picked up by Dutch news outlets. I can imagine the same happens in other countries all over the world.

It's amazing how fast the lazy behavior of a single journalist can make incorrect news spread that fast.

I notified a couple of Dutch journalists on Twitter, as I am curious whether they will (and how) correct this.

It seems that many journalists in my country just pretty much translate and summarize foreign media.

And Winnuke, when you knew an unsuspicious user without a firewall (which was a necessity on IRC those days) saw his Windows crash when the user left with error message: "connection reset by peer"

For those who rather listen. The podcast 'The Sporkful' has an episode called 'Hacking McDonald's Broken Ice Cream Machines'

(And I just noticed when looking up the link, they also have video)

https://www.sporkful.com/hacking-mcdonalds-broken-ice-cream-...

And if you both don't want to watch video, nor listen to the podcast episode, the page has a full transcript of the episode.

I found it to be a pretty interesting story.

I've recently bought several shares of ASML at about €670, as I can't imagine them going down anytime soon.

They seem to have a pretty much monopoly on the most advanced chipmanufacturing process and respective machines.

ASML stock is also already going up for years and years. I wish I'd bought them earlier.

Although ASML should be our Dutch pride, it's a company we hardly hear about in the Dutch press. Probably because their tech is relatively hard to understand.
