Open Hands (https://openhands.dev/) looks like it’s similar to what you want.

https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/discussions/3363 - maybe this one?

What’s the plan for this? Sharing with a specific group (DM, group chat, feeds from people you follow) are critical to social media.

Yes - hard to see e.g. city labels on the map under all the pie charts.

I’ve been doing this recently and for the basics agents had no problem with the API apart from the weird behaviour of shared drives needing a special flag to handle them. This could probably be mapped to a file system in a way that wouldn’t trip up an agent, but at the expense of losing the Google drive specific functionality. A trade off, not much better or worse per se, but with the added complexity of the FUSE layer.

LLMs can handle Google drive perfectly well with a service account, including the Google drive specific quirks through the API. It could be helpful to expose via a file system rather than a custom API if you wanted a different interface than Google already provides, but this wouldn’t be driven by the limitations of the LLM.

I complained about the communications around this issue a few weeks ago, and bcherny popped up in the comments with an explanation of what they were doing. Now there’s a fix with a great explanation of the background to this bug and future directions from chrislloyd.

It seems the default is node (despite the project docs saying to use bun and all example script documentation using bun). It will use bun if told, but there’s definitely nothing saying to use node and it uses that anyway.

I use bun in a project but Claude Code always uses node to run throwaway scripts. Maybe they can persuade it to use bun as part of this acquisition?

With less token usage, cheaper pricing, and enhanced usage limits for Opus, Anthropic are taking the fight to Gemini and OpenAI Codex. Coding agent performance leads to better general work and personal task performance, so if Anthropic continue to execute well on ergonomics they have a chance to overcome their distribution disadvantages versus the other top players.

It’s a pretty arbitrary y axis - arguably the only thing that matters is the differences.

The screenshot of the personality selector for quirky has a typo - imaginitive for imaginative. I guess ChatGPT is not designing itself, yet.

(Update - they fixed it! perhaps I'm designing ChatGPT now?!)

Thanks for the reply (and for Claude Code!). I've seen improvement on this particular issue already with the last major release, to the extent that it's not a day to day issue for me. I realise Github issues are not the easiest comms channel especially with 100s coming in a day, but occasional updates on some of the top 10 commented issues could perhaps be manageable and beneficial.

If Claude Code is Anthropic’s main focus why are they not responding to some of the most commented issues on their GitHub? https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/3648 has people begging for feedback and saying they’re moving to OpenAI, has been open since July and there are similar issues with 100+ comments.

They have a really nice feature I haven’t seen elsewhere to find a circular walking/cycling/ski route of a certain length. Useful to get ideas on where to go if you have some time for a walk or ride in an area you’re not entirely familiar with.
