@adamlyttleapps fwiw, I bought a Lenovo legion laptop 2 years ago, i9-13900hx cpu, put 64gb of ram in it, and now it's my dedicated linux server that I often use from my MacBook Air m4. So, consider not using macOS if it's just compute on the network.

Well, my first real contribution: info on fixing MacOS containers to return memory. (@OrbStack looks great, but I wanted a truly free solution) https://t.co/P63LQ2tthB

@adamlyttleapps Interesting, I'm working on a Todo app (I know, shameful on the surface), you're saying I should include that in the app name? eg "Sanctuary Todo"

@Bart_Mol alright hold my beer. I'm taking the k8s based AI orchestration platform I started last December, and making a buzz inspired UI on top of it. Plus Linear. So, you can have convos with cohorts, kick off sprints, and see every agent session. Uses DinD workspaces in pods as sandbox.

@GeoffreyHuntley Dune Imperium board game tableaus. Also, go ahead and play the game if you haven't already ;)

@adamlyttleapps guitar hero with a real guitar, your phone tunes into it.

@adamlyttleapps a recent interviewee on starter story said if you haven't been banned at least twice you aren't going hard enough :)

@mattpocockuk We've all been ghosted Matt.

@dexhorthy @thorstenball "Eye of the beholder" problem re: refactor. But also, solution. Maybe: adherence to particular skill or pattern in an atomic sense. Take one point from Kleppmann book for ex., tell agents to implement it against medium or large codebases, then more agents review adherence.

@aidenybai ask your favorite LLM: "are there any proven cases of past lives?"

[Evan | builder of stuff @Nagistakee]

@mattpocockuk Yes. I'm still working around ways to make it stop making things up. I call it out in my claude.md if it generates "The quickest way", "pre-existing", "flaky" or "probably unrelated" to stop. Lots of weird behavior changes. Also banned the memory tool. And askUserTool.

@shiri_shh lol, peter thiel just testing it on cows first. next is ppl.

@brian_scanlan @floinkus You should have a company blog, ask engineers to write a bit about their favourite skill etc. Ngrok has some amazing AI Dev stuff on their blog for instance.

@onehandpolitics The biggest fucking joke is that we knew about pearl harbor beforehand. And now that's released info.

@rivet_dev I'm upset there is no heavy metal in this video clip.

@iannuttall I have to brag, I've solved this 😅

I see https://t.co/CYNNjAq1Dj subscriptions now hit 1M context window by default (yay!) I'm curious now, are there any benchmarks for performance once it starts using the larger context window?

@Doom_S_Dey @ChShersh This is where my mind went. Just have to figure out what the maximum number of subs per edge is. Also, the problem with remote areas probably precludes the 2s latency, but likely tolerable.

@KingBootoshi The brainstorming skill in superpowers is the goat. It puts claude into the proper state of mind. Just tell it "lets brainstorm [problem]" and be truly impressed.

@thdxr if you're doing what i think you're doing, msg me. I'm already deep lol. I have a k8s operator that spins up workspaces and runs the SDLC inside it with sysbox and it creates micro sandboxes for agents to work.
