How exactly do you determine that you are running in a container?
I asked Claude and it had a few good ideas… Not bulletproof, but if the main point is to keep average users from shooting themselves in the foot, anything is better than nothing.

All the people in the comments are blaming the user for supposedly running with `--dangerously-skip-permissions`, but there's actually absolutely no way for Claude CLI to 100% determine that a command it runs will not affect the home directory.
People are really ignorant when it comes to the safeguards that you can put in place for AI. If it's running on your computer and can run arbitrary commands, it can wipe your disk, that's it.
I mean it's hard to tell if this story is even real, but on a serious note, I do think Anthropic should only allow `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to be applied if it's running in a container.
Color is so hard. From colorspaces, to bit-depth, to gamuts, to HDR vs SDR, to ICC profiles. And your hard work is getting displayed on a $20 Wal-mart Android tablet in bright sunlight.
The amazing thing is that it's one of the oldest fields of study when it comes to human perception, yet it's still an active space with tons of new technologies, techniques and discoveries.
If you dig deep enough into the "best" way to map HDR values to a monitor (HDR or SDR), you'll eventually reach active discussions on the ACES forum, with new techniques and transforms posted constantly.
Bröther, wait until I tell you about gamut
turnsout commented on New benchmark shows top LLMs struggle in real mental health care swordhealth.com/newsroom/... · Posted by u/RicardoRei
I heard a story on NPR the other day, and the attitude seems to be that it's totally inevitable that LLMs _will_ be providing mental health care, so our task must be to apply the right guardrails.
I'm not even sure what to say. It's self-evidently a terrible idea, but we all just seem to be charging full-steam ahead like so many awful ideas in the past couple of decades.
It's not inevitable that LLMs will be providing mental health care; it's already happening.
Terrible idea or not, it's probably helpful to think of LLMs not as "AI mental healthcare" but rather as another form of potentially bad advice. From a therapeutic perspective, Claude is not all that different from the patient having a friend who is sometimes counterproductive. Or the patient reading a self-help book that doesn't align with your therapeutic perspective.

So… millennial gray, like the meme?
As a color company, I'm surprised they didn't lean into some of the current trends that involve shocks of bright color. I'm seeing a lot of Y2K-inspired design, holographic/dichroic color, and super expressive packaging. There are some GenZ/GenA pastel trends, but I do think these pastels have a Millennial stigma.

I'm trying to understand why this comment got downvoted. My best guess is that "if you're in the loop, something is wrong" is interpreted as there should be no human involvement at all.
The loop here, imo, refers to the feedback loop. And it's true that ideally there should be no human involvement there. A tight feedback loop is as important for llms as it is for humans. The more automated you make it, the better.
Yes, maybe I goofed on the phrasing. If you're in the feedback loop, something is wrong. Obviously a human should be "in the loop" in the sense that they're aware of and reviewing what the agent is doing.

Curious if you've tested something such as:
- "First, calculate the orbital radius. To do this accurately, measure the average diameter of each planet, p, and the average distance from the center of the image to the outer edge of the planets, x, and calculate the orbital radius r = x - p"
- "Next, write a unit test script that we will run that reads the rendered page and confirms that each planet is on the orbital radius. If a planet is not, output the difference you must shift it by to make the test pass. Use this feedback until all planets are perfectly aligned."
Yes, this is a key step when working with an agent—if they're able to check their work, they can iterate pretty quickly. If you're in the loop, something is wrong.
That said, I love this project. haha
> I guarantee our hunter-gatherer ancestors felt all the same emotions—burnout, comparison, envy, anxiety, stress, overwhelm, hopelessness.
Yes they felt all the same emotions. You absolutely cannot guarantee they felt them in the same proportions thought.
> our brains have not changed that much.
That is the point: our brains have not changed and is still evolving at the speed of gene mutations. Our environment though is changing magnitudes faster than before.
> how is this line of reasoning constructive?
This is not trying to be constructive, just trying to understand the human condition. We probably have no choice but to learn to deal with it, that doesn’t mean technology has no adverse impact.
Friend, hunter-gatherers felt more existential dread than you do, because 50% of their kids died, and they themselves would be lucky to live to the ripe old age of 40.
Every generation in history has felt that things used to be better and they got the short end of the stick. My grandparents lived through the Great Depression and World War II. My parents lived through the cold war, Watergate and Vietnam. Millennials have phones that they like too much, and it's slightly harder to buy a house, and they feel like no one has ever endured this much hardship.
We need to grow up. "Too much Instagram" is not remotely on the same level as "we need to hide in the basement during air raids."
PS, I don't buy any argument that there's more depression now than there was at an earlier point in history, because psychology does not have the most stellar track record when it comes to scientific rigor. I just don't trust any measure that's over 20 years old.
turnsout commented on The unexpected effectiveness of one-shot decompilation with Claude blog.chrislewis.au/the-un... · Posted by u/knackers
I've been experimenting with running Claude in headless mode + a continuous loop to decompile N64 functions and the results have been pretty incredible. (This is despite already using Claude in my decompilation workflow).
I hope that others find this similarly useful.
This is super cool! I would be curious to see how Gemini 3 fares… I've found it to be even more effective than Opus 4.5 at technical analysis (in another domain).
