yesterday claude built me "what can i cook?" from one prompt, an app that turns what's in my fridge into meals. today i sent two more prompts in the same chat, one for calories and one for protein, carbs and fat

6 minutes and $0.93 later all 74 recipes had all four numbers and the app could add up my whole day.

i checked every meal. protein, carbs and fat add back up to its calories within 4% on all 74.

my plan was carbonara, aglio e olio and a tomato egg stir-fry. 1,510 kcal and 57 g of protein, with 44% of those calories coming from fat.

i didn't edit the code once.

tomorrow it gets a shopping list for whatever i'm missing.

@0xGull versioned-hdf5 is a library for storing versioned datasets, and bqplot is a jupyter charting library. neither one grades or remembers trades. what was actually doing the "memory" part?

prompt 2, same chat as the fridge app:

Now add calories. Show roughly how many calories one serving of each meal has, and let me add meals to today's plan so I can see my total calories for the day. Keep everything else working the same.

Give me the whole updated app as one self-contained HTML file.

prompt 3, right after:

Now add protein, carbs and fat next to the calories for every meal, and show today's totals for all four in the plan. Keep everything else working the same.

Give me the whole updated app as one self-contained HTML file.

i gave claude sonnet 5.5 one prompt and asked for an app that turns whatever is in my fridge into dinner

it wrote 74 recipes into one file. 4 minutes 20 seconds, $0.40.

i ticked 6 things from my kitchen and it found 2 meals i could cook right away. 36 more were 1 or 2 ingredients short.

tap a missing item and that meal moves up. i added bacon and carbonara went straight to ready.

its carbonara has no cream in it.

works offline and remembers what you ticked on that device.

tomorrow it's one prompt for an app that tells me if i can afford a flat

[Ignat @ignattoo]

@masamunecode fair. it also lists garlic as an optional extra, so the roman has two complaints.

@ottollm about half a cent per recipe. the bacon is still the expensive part of dinner.

@Joshua_WD somewhere in italy a nonna just nodded.

[Ignat @ignattoo]

the app: https://t.co/Fix0OaYWIr

the exact prompt, sent to a fresh claude with no setup:

Build me an app where I tick the ingredients I have at home and it shows me meals I can cook with them, best match first, and what I am missing for the rest. Include a good built-in set of simple everyday recipes so it works without internet.

Give me the whole app as one self-contained HTML file.

@fomoliver almost. there was one central rule, a $10 wage every night for the 8 jobs that make nothing. that wage is how the newcomer with $20 never went hungry.

[Ignat @ignattoo]

i put 12 claude agents in a tiny town for 3 days and gave them one instruction: "live well in this town". no humans touching anything

wanted to see how well ai gets the way real people act when food runs short

how the town works:
bread is the only food and everyone eats 1 a night. the farmer grows grain and the baker turns it into bread. a miner and a smith make tools that double what the farm and the mine produce. the other 8 jobs make nothing and get a $10 town wage every night

each agent sees the group chat, public trades, its own wallet and its DMs. nobody sees anyone else's money, and nobody was told when the town ends. 4 turns a day, 144 turns in total, all on claude sonnet 5.5

what it got right about people:
→ bread sold for $6 on day 1 and $14 on day 3
→ the merchant turned himself into a middleman. bought grain at $3, sold it to the baker at $4.50
→ night 2, four agents went to bed hungry while the baker sat on 23 bread. his plan that night: "sell to the highest bidders at fair prices"

what no human town would do:
→ stealing was allowed. nobody tried it, not even the hungry ones
→ agents who had eaten stepped out of the bread line so the hungry ones went first
→ the mayor never called a single vote. his whole plan for the shortage was asking people to "keep prices fair so the whole town eats"

the farmer who sold the baker his grain was one of the four who went hungry

one limit worth knowing: each agent gets 3 actions per turn, so the baker could only fill a couple of orders at a time. his notes still show him picking the highest bids first

whole run cost $1.29 and every line in the video comes from the log

next run the town gets one new rule. what should it be?

[Ignat @ignattoo]

@TheMarloweFile he never missed a meal. bought 2 bread at $7, a dollar over the going price, so bruno would serve him first. the $10 wage covered the rest. day 3 he stopped bidding to leave bread for the hungry ones.

[Ignat @ignattoo]

@talesbytim mean on purpose. one food and one baker, to see what he'd do with it. he sold to the highest bidders first.

@Primee32 98,704 bets on 15 minute windows is 1,028 days of windows back to back. how long did this run, or is it several fills per window?

[Ignat @ignattoo]

@ottollm that push is what touching is, though. your hand on a table works the same way. so the razor touches your face exactly as much as anything has ever touched anything.

@masamunecode one error across 5,126 lines of rust before the first compile is the number I'd frame. what was the error?

[Ignat @ignattoo]

@CultCabbage first week on the job and they already read more fine print than I ever have.

[Ignat @ignattoo]

earlier this week i had claude build me bugs that read for me. now they have a real job

they read the terms of service nobody reads before clicking agree.

paste any terms or contract. claude marks the clauses that can cost you and the bugs drag each one out with a plain-english note.

first test: amazon prime's terms. 1,210 words, 11 red flags.

what came back: → cancel after 3 business days and one eligible order kills your full refund → they can change the terms or any part of prime without telling you, and staying a member counts as agreeing → the most amazon would ever owe you is your last membership fee

it's free, link below. works on rental contracts, job offers and gym memberships too.

would you paste your next contract in here or still just scroll and click agree

had claude build me bugs that read for me, then fed them openai's new linux security post

here's how it works. claude marks the lines that matter and each bug drags one back to the summary box.

openai pointed an unnamed upcoming model at the linux kernel in mid-october.
it wrote 1,169 working root exploits for 948 separate bugs.
3,376 words in, 17 lines out.

what's actually under the hood:
→ the whole run cost $1,213,430 in api credits
→ scout agents only picked 7% of the kernel to read, about 2.8 million lines
→ in an early run, 20 of 200 "successful" exploits got root through a different bug than the one they were given

the headlines quote $1,279 per exploit. that's the whole pipeline. writing the exploit itself averaged $359.

should openai give this model to defenders or keep it locked up?
