<p>is using a Ralph loop for all tasks with "claude -p" and using my weekly limit up to 100% considered some kind of unprofitable outlier? It's a command line tool, it would be ridiculous to expect that a large number of users don't do this. I never launch "claude" interactively by itself.<p>My understanding is that now with this workflow I will pay the same amount but get much less usage before getting to 100% for the week. How is that not bad?</p>

<p>Seems... really good?!<p>Questions:<p>- rendering capabilities of this seem like it should also be able to handle 2d well, or am I mistaken? every solution I see for getting high quality 2d images or rasterization in terminal is all pretty bad. Could this do better than other solutions or is there a fundamental limit being hit somewhere?<p>- What happens with ssh given that this is gpu accelerated?</p>

<p>They think they know better than what the user wants. If someone who is not a power user Googles "how to turn off updates" they do not want that user to be able to find an option on how to do it, because the user won't understand the dangers. They won't read any warnings. They will follow the steps, turn it off and be part of a botnet soon. If there is ANY possible way to turn it off, someone will make a video and the people who should not find it will find it.<p>What if you are ACTUALLY someone who knows what they are doing and need to run a perf test over a multiple day period and need it running and uninterrupted? You can't. You are not a part of their target customer base, and at this point their actions have made it clear that they want such users to leave.</p>

<p>This is how you can tell that they just don't get it.<p>Microsoft, your users include developers and power users. We are not all someone's tech illiterate relative who needs constant reminding to check that backups are on, nor do we want to use OneDrive.<p>If we turn it off, it means off. Updates off = they stay off until turned back on, don't worry, we'll remember. Backup off = it stays off. Edge off = it stays off. Ads off = I don't want ads.<p>The battle they are fighting is that by using Google, tech illiterate people have found buttons like the ability to disable updates, but don't understand what they're doing, and then leave them off and now their OS becomes part of a botnet in a few months. So Microsoft believes that they are doing a greater good by not offering a real option to actually turn certain things off. But this babysitting behavior is annoying as shit when you want to leave something running that is going to take 6 days. Sure yes put it on a cloud vm. But if I was still using Windows as my OS, why should I have to? Just because your OS can't handle a developer doing something else than using Outlook and OneDrive to store pictures of aunties family get-together?</p>

<p>I used Windows since my first PC on 3.1. But recently it just became too much. Switched over to Mint for just over a year now and loving it. No issues at all for development or gaming. The machine just works. No lag at the lock screen, typing in your password and hitting enter has the desktop loaded instantly. It just works the way you expect and with the performance you expect. I used to defend Windows but I cannot say the same about it anymore.</p>

<p>BioMenace and OMF worked out of the box for me but BioMenace took 8 minutes (!) to load.

<p>Not the person you are replying to but I have, in version control, around 80 projects dating back to about 2008 that are in various states of completion and Claude has been able to resurrect a lot of them and get them from their "half finished but will never complete" state up to "pull in modern dependencies and implement (me giving a list of what remains to be done)" to the point that they are now usable. I'm more focused on the things that are 7 or less years old because anything older than that I'm not sure I have a need for anymore.</p>

<p>So what I'm doing now is I have termux on my phone with a persistent tmux session that is SSHed into my desktop over tailscale. It stays open all the time with Claude Code running on it in a VM in yolo mode.<p>If I want to ask it to do something like research and add tasks to my schedule I just tap on termux on my phone, I'm already at the Claude prompt and I just type in or voice dictate in what I want. Claude via skills and MCPs can do literally anything on my computer or connected accounts.<p>I'm literally not sure what I would use something like openclaw for as every time someone describes it to me it's already something I can do in this system I set up in 20 minutes. Is there something I'm missing here?</p>

<p>I talk to my desktop from my phone by having termux opened to a persistent tmux session that's sshed in to the desktop over tailscale. I have Claude running in the persistent session. It's 1 tap to open the termux app and I type my commands into a Claude session running in yolo mode. What am I missing here that would need one of these claw agents?</p>

<p>You overestimate how good the average front-end developer PR is that gets merged.<p>My experience developing on a fairly standard SAAS is that AI (Figma, Claude) has produced UIs which look better, are more accessible, and get through review and QA and product approval, faster and more reliably than any of the FE developers I've worked with recently can.</p>

<p>We require someone with a professional engineering designation from an accredited engineering body to sign off and approve before a building can be built. If it is found to have structural issues later, that person can be directly liable and can lose their license to operate. Why this is not the case with health software I cannot explain. Every time I propose this the only argument I recieve against it is people who are mad that their field might dare to apply the same regulation every other field has.</p>

<p>Just in case it wasn't clear, what they described doesn't need extra tooling. You can write this in your CLI and it will easily cap a Max 20x plan in an hour: "we are converting this entire codebase from TS to C#. Following the guidelines I've written in MIGRATION.md, convert each file individually. Use up to 32 parallel subagents. Track your work for each file in a PROGRESS.md file, which you will update for each file starting and completing. Using an agent team, as a secondary step, add a verification layer where you verify each file individually for accurate migration following the instructions in VERIFICATION.md"<p>Yea there are other ways to do this, you can set up a separate harness sure to make it more efficient, but just the above will also work, it's just text you paste into your CC terminal, and it will absolutely cap the largest subscription plan available no problem.</p>

<p>With all due respect, if the idea is good, then it will happen. The proposer of the idea needs to nurture it and part of that is defending it.<p>When someone is super optimistic and comes forward with an idea where:<p>- it's actually just a half baked solution for something I already tried to solve 4 years ago<p>- I'm acutely aware of all the spots it will fall<p>- they still think it can work, when it really really honestly can not<p>- they lack the experience to see that it won't work and become frustrated when I point out 20 problems with it and why it's not worth pursuing further<p>^ what exactly am I supposed to do with the above? You can take the advice/critique or leave it, but if I'm supposed to try to help and nurture a dead end instead of telling you the issues with it, that makes no sense to me.</p>
