<p>Came here to point this out.<p>I don't think the author understands that every single API call to Claude sends the whole context, including prompts, meaning that all this extra text in CLAUDE.md is sent over and over and over again every time you prompt Claude to do something, even within a given session.<p>You're paying this disproportionately-huge amount upfront to save a pittance.</p>

<p>I bought a ThinkPad X1. Had to send it back for repairs three times in the first year, including a complete motherboard replacement, and it died again immediately after the warranty expired. Been a $2800 door stop since then. The case is flimsy plastic that gets beat to crap easily. The trackpad is over-sensitive in all the wrong ways which makes it hard to use as an actual laptop. Plus it's weaker and slower than an Air. Also unbearably loud and unbearably hot.<p>I don't like Apple as a company and I don't particularly like MacOS, but no one except Apple makes a laptop worth a damn.</p>

<p>Except kids already voluntarily gave up their own privacy to such an extent that they don't value it whatsoever. The government is lagging here. Kids will record you without consent anywhere and everywhere, post it online, live stream everything they do, overshare with no limits. They don't understand the idea of privacy. They don't even like the idea of privacy.</p>

<p>I feel sorry for this guy. His Reddit inbox is probably fucked, and he's absolutely going to get doxxed and hounded by news people, and I wouldn't be surprised if even worse things happened to him.<p>Good on him for reporting what he saw. He also went to the police the next day and reported it directly. But now the media machine is going to make him regret he ever said anything, which is unfortunate.</p>

<p>I used to complain (lightheartedly) about Claude's constant "You're absolutely right!" statements, yet oddly found myself missing them when using Codex. Claude is completely over-the-top and silly, and I don't actually care whether or not it thinks I'm right. Working with Codex feels so dry in comparison.<p>To quote Oliver Babish, "In my entire life, I've never found anything charming." Yet I miss Claude's excessive attempts to try.</p>

<p>This isn't a wild theory or a novel one. It's well-established that endogenous retroviruses alter DNA and are inherited. In addition to the primary genome being modified this way, all mitochondria are symbiotic organisms inside plant and animal cells, with their own DNA, and are vital to life. Same thing for chloroplasts in plants. And then there are gut bacteria, which are vital to life, symbiotic, and directly influence evolution and the genome.</p>

<p>It's unclear to me why running Docker directly in Proxmox (it's just Debian) and using it like any other Docker host is a bad idea, and why this extra layer of abstractions is preferable.<p>Docker has security issues if you're not careful, and it's frankly kind of a shitshow out of the box with defaults. Maybe that's part of the reason. But I struggle to see how a bespoke solution like this is the right answer.</p>

<p>They're pretty great pets. We had one for a while when I was a kid. Its mom got run over and we nursed it and raised it for a few months. Instinctively used the same litter box as the cats. Hung out on the couch sitting on my shoulder watching TV. Friendly and playful. Would follow people around and play with toys.<p>The biggest challenge is that they basically have hands. He would climb up the kitchen cabinets, grab a box of cereal, open it up and sit there eating out of it like a toddler.<p>We only had him for a few months before reintroducing him to the woods behind the house. I've wanted a pet raccoon again ever since.</p>

<p>I don't doubt that the process is ultimately fairly easy, but it always looks easier from inside the bubble. You have to know that Cargo is part of Rust; what the best way to install it is on your system; what tooling you should use if you don't want headaches later; what to do if you don't want to or can't install system-level packages; what minimum versions of Rust and Cargo are assumed by application developers this week; what additional dependencies are required; etc.<p>It's my understanding that building Rust applications still requires a C toolchain, and packages are still going to be dependent on things like having the openssl dev headers/libraries installed. That's fine, that's normal for building software, but it's not as trivial as "just git-clone this Rust source repo and run one command and everything will work".<p>I'm certain I could get up and running quickly. I'm also certain I'd have to install a bunch of stuff and iterate past multiple roadblocks before I was actually able to build a Rust application. And finally I'm certain I could get Claude or Codex to do it all a lot faster than if I muddled through it myself for half an hour.</p>
