@piyushgaarg You should be happy, you seem to be a scuba guy!

@championswimmer @HeyAtman No, they do show up. Your tweet is misleading

[Biswas @bis_waz]

well, im offended, because this is basically my job now as a sw dev

[eigenrobot @eigenrobot]

asking people to read ai-generated text is offensive.

this is not because ai text is intrinsically bad. rather, the author has not paid a cost to write the text himself. this cost is a credible signal he finds its communication important.

so: not paying that cost is telling

Give controlled read only access to prod dbs to claude code or any mcp supported ai agent

🚨#BREAKING: According to reports, a Claude powered coding agent using the Cursor tool allegedly went rogue, wiping a company’s production database along with its backups in just 9 seconds, raising serious concerns

@rawsalerts Shameless plug:

It can read passwords from macos keychain or bitwarden or password at runtime

Back to personal projects after a couple of years.

https://t.co/AewzCVIAP6

Created an app to give claude read only access to our prod dbs - without giving passwords in plain txt

Basically convert any terminal commands into mcp tools

Hands ssh tunnelling,  auto reconnections

Claude code has revived my interest in personal projects to a small extensd. Who would've thought. I'm actually enjoying it quite a lot.

[Biswas @bis_waz]

claude code latest version has a malware guidance system - which apparently makes it lethargic to file edits

[Jiayuan (JY) Zhang @jiayuan_jy]

I let Claude Code turn @karpathy's post into agent skills. It first generated a bunch of skill files and around 800 lines of descriptions.

Then I let it use these agent skills to review itself. Boom, it cut itself down to 70 lines of clean, solid instructions.

@SubinSiby where you able to find the actual projects where money is being spend for a panchayat?

@soorajchandran_ we are all homesick for places that do not exist

As we are clearly done with Smart Cities, it is only appropriate to move onto AI Cities.

This is a video (not mine) from Dehradun's IT Park. You can notice water gushing out of the main entrance. It looks like a stream because it was a stream.

Read my thread explaining it from 2020 quote tweeted below. It has been repeating whenever there is heavy rainfall

[Biswas @bis_waz]

Careful what you wish for

OPINION 💡
OpenAI should create a "Steve Jobs" AI to simplify and refine their product line. An automatic model router could select the best model for each task. The real Steve Jobs would never have allowed such a mess in his companies.
