What kind of street festivals are we talking about?

A few less obvious niceties of Codex:

- built-in image generation using your subscription, which can be super handy

- can actually edit Google Docs and Google Sheets (Claude can only create new or sometimes append)

- I get a surprising amount of mileage out of the $20 plan

They both have their places for sure.

This is unfortunately how I feel about AR in general, despite having worked in the space for a while.
Very cute aesthetic and reminiscent of Pirates!

I am lazy and would request a settings toggle to automatically adjust the sail angles for me for optimal speed given my bearing.

Yes it’s from Futurama

Very cool, hard to beat the Earthican flag though

It might be an ROI calculation, e.g. some people will waste tokens, but if it means someone else feels empowered to make something awesome or impactful, it will have been worth it.

What does your Claude Code implementation of OpenClaw look like?

Here’s the initial post about! https://www.instagram.com/p/DUeWPKPEqQB/?igsh=bjJiM3VlM3ZxZ3...

I have this delusion of grandeur about starting a movement to take all of the mostly-idle 3D printers in people’s homes and to use them to create little tokens of joy in people’s neighborhoods.

Over 90% of people who've ever had DHMO have died.

I’ve started making what I “joy machines” that I am putting up in or near my neighborhood. They’re some combination of public interactive art (e.g. push a button and it prints out a compliment) and little art on display that I design and 3D print for people to take.

Won’t you have tons of driver problems though vs an RPi? It would be super convenient packaging as an SBC though !
To me it’s as simple as “who knows best how to harness the premier LLM – Anthropic, the lab that created it, or this random person?”

That’s why I’m only interested in first party tools over things like OpenCode right now.

I like the visualization, but in terms of orchestration, how does it compare to CC’s built in agent swarms?

Can you give an example of why this is better than the iOS Claude app?
Re:Push events into a running session with channels on Friday March 20, 2026 @11:56AM (#47456438)
Happy was the best but needs some updates as I’ve started getting blocking errors now with some of the recent CC updates
My other favorite is when I ask Siri to set a timer on my watch and it does a web search.

But local models will never compete quality-wise with frontier models in a data center.
How was the career transition from MechE? Looking to do the same myself.
Re:Meta acquires Moltbook on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @05:13PM (#47328853)
Can you share some of your favorite examples? Whenever I take a look at the hot/top posts, they’re just… not interesting to me
That was basically my question – why install ChromeOS instead of a light Linux distro?
Re:Agents that run while I sleep on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @04:46PM (#47328588)
How exactly do you set up your CC sessions to do this?
Interesting idea - could it be done for a Linux distro?
Just lead with “You are an expert software engineer…”, easy!
Re:Meta acquires Moltbook on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @12:35PM (#47325569)
I think the issue is pretending the agents are all acting autonomously when they do outrageous or even mildly interesting things, but it’s all prompted behavior and not truly emergent behavior.
