Not usually how things work in Japanese culture

I'd like you to elaborate more on your answer

Are people not paid?

I need a hypothetical use case for things like this, I don't get how so many people have so much desire for use of features like this.


https://martinfowler.com/articles/harness-engineering.html it's being talked about everywhere.

If you manage developers or product folk, do you allow them to work when you're not looking over their shoulder? All developers can be managers/team leads now. You plan, you delegate, you review.

You're welcome to not do this, surely that's appropriate in quite a few areas of work, but many of us are because we can get more work done than if we we're micromanaging every line of code change. For startups, where a bit of quality can suffer in favor of finding market fit, this is huge.


The actual /loop and cron are beyond the normal "agentic loop"


I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. `claude remote` on a secure vm is basically all you need to operate a factory from your phone. I suspect a lot of people with your line of reasoning are stuck on human in the loop while awake level of AI use. Anthropic has no interest in that long term and all of their product moves validate that.


Every morning it summarizes a bunch of stuff for me, suggests me PRs to review, emails to reply to, freshly cloned any new repos, pulled all others, presents me with the suggested approaches to my PRs of that day, and gives me a list of my slack mentions that look more urgent.

This is just the morning ones, and saves shitloads of time of clicking around from tool to tool, freeing up time for the thinking and deciding.


Wow, you should probably ask it to write a script for 90+% of that instead . Sounds like a huge waste of electricity.


How? Most of what was mentioned requires discretion and judgment. You can question whether an LLM would be able to offer that, but there’s no script that can do b it.


Deduplicating/validating/processing incoming bug reports?


I recently left also. I saw a noticeable uptick in both these things and it's genuinely been a horrific experience over the last few months and it feels weird to now be on it a lot less.


I think I just need to be less online, I've kind of lost hope.


I live in Osaka (only lived here a year) and it is fascinating the vibe change between Osaka and Kyoto.


I think we're all Nematodes.


god damn it

i really enjoyed the new digg


why in gods name is that worth anything


Plastic cutlery, thats great.


I wonder when/if places like vietnam will ever achieve this.

Hell, Australia still has WW2 mines.


France still has WWI unexploded ordnance, and keep-out areas are still being de-mined. This has been going on for a century now. About 900 tons of explosives are removed each year. Completion in 700 years at the current rate.[1]

That is mind blowing, no pun intended.


Does Australia have any landmines? I was under the impression that we had some areas with sea mines which had been swept but still weren't guaranteed safe, and that was it.


There are an estimated one to two million mines in the Korean DMZ. Emplaced by both the South and North Koreans since the 1950s. There is no possibility all those mines are mapped properly. And most of them are not the self-disabling/destroying kind. It will take generations to clear.


I imagine a lot has to do with motivation. Canada has UXO that it doesn't clean up as land is abundant.


Is that actual land mines or generic lost explosives and unexploded bombs?

Cause the latter is pretty common in Europe too, but I'm surprised you have actually minefields which haven't been cleared up in Australia.


This feels like a perfect use case for AI.


how AI would help?


Robots or drones with ground penetrating radar?
