<p>I built Stint to let me give Claude goals and walk away. It automatically breaks tasks into parallel work, spins up multiple Claude workers in isolated git branches, and merges results when done. Think "fire-and-forget" development with a web dashboard showing real-time progress.<p>Unlike other frameworks, there's no complicated setup. Just queue goals and let the agents work. Each worker has its own context window and commits directly to git.<p>See <a href="https://github.com/ilocn/stint" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ilocn/stint</a>. Happy to take comments/feedback. Thank you!</p>

<p>So tiring to keep hearing this argument "humans only use vision to drive, so why would self driving cars need more?"<p>This argument is inherently anti-progress. It's like saying human had been using sextants to navigate for hundreds of years, why GPS?<p>A more sensible question is, why not?</p>

<p>I have been constantly frustrated trying to find good games for remote happy hours and team events. We'd find a promising game, click the link, then hit a paywall or signup form. Nobody has time for that.<p>So I built partygames.party - a collection of online party games, focusing on free ones that don't require signup.<p>This project is still WIP and I'm happy to take any feedback. Thank you.</p>

<p>Your comment seems to miss the point. It is totally possible to enable the first two of your bullet points without Visa or Mastercard, for example banks could just give lines of credit directly to consumers. Indeed, the myriad of loan products is run without Visa and Mastercard.</p>

<p>I don't think you understand the bigger issue. Locking out competitors will save these jobs for now, but it will not last forever. This is exactly what happened to the US automakers in the 80s and look at them now.</p>

<p>Aren't people already stupid enough? The fact that the author wrote this article without verifying if the existing trend of children's IQ shows some level of stupidity.<p>And please excuse my language. I probably watch George Carlin videos a bit too much.<p>> For example, a 2018 analysis by researchers at Northwestern University and the University of Oregon found that average IQ scores in the U.S. began declining slightly after 1995, particularly in younger generations. This reversal mirrors findings in several European countries, including Norway, Denmark, and the UK.<p><a href="https://nchstats.com/average-iq-by-state-in-us/" rel="nofollow">https://nchstats.com/average-iq-by-state-in-us/</a></p>

<p>Forgot to mention one benefit, for the ultra-lazy like myself.<p>You can just leave the display on forever and you never have to wait for the screen to wake up again. I use amphetamine on macOS and just set a session forever. I'm more comfortable this way since eink displays don't emit light and thus should consume less power.</p>

<p>Yes, it's basically a large Kindle.<p>For reading and work, I actually prefer this experience. The contrast for text is way better and more crisp than regular LED/LCD/OLED displays, unless you turn the regular display's brightness way up, until which point my eyes hurt from all that light emitted. This was my primary reason for buying such a display -- I love my Kindle and want to use it more, but I couldn't.<p>Now for entertainment you are obviously limited. For informational Youtube videos you could be getting by alright -- you don't really need to see colors for those. Games is tricky since you could only do non-demanding ones. Shopping gets tricky since you can't see colors. Sometimes I find myself hopping on my iPhone to check before placing orders.</p>

<p>Weird. I have a work MacBook Pro m3 and a personal m1 MacBook Pro. Both are just plug and play for me. I actually have my displayed connected to a CalDigit TS3 dock and just connect different computer to the same dock.</p>

<p>I cannot make guarantees but I do remember temporarily using it for my Debian installation for my home server -- can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work though. For both Windows and Mac it's just plug and play.</p>

<p>I've seen somebody on Reddit using LoRa stuff for the home.<p>The problem with these wifi based sensors is that you eventually run out of IP addresses (yes you could get fancy with subnet setup but still). Another problem is that at some point you might want to swap routers -- I had to swap out a faulty Netgear router, and the re-set was a major PITA. For these reasons I've been moving to Zigbee.</p>

<p>Did you finish reading? The author said later on that holding the bar high wasn't an option since it would risk his job. The blame should be on the universities, not on the professors who don't have much power to fix the problem.</p>

<p>Consider this as very much back-of-napkin math, a Chinese 055 destroyer is about a third of the cost of an Arleigh Burke. So you’d be looking at roughly 300%.</p>

<p>> In fact many would argue Chinese languages were never unified (mandarin/cantonese/etc) but the scripts were.<p>This is the correct understanding, even within mainland China, and across all times. The practice of assigning a "mandarin" based on where the capital is/was dates back at least hundreds of years, if not thousands. You can easily Google "Mandarin in Republic of China" to see the Republic of China's attempt to standardize its mandarin. It's really not a CCP issue.</p>
