aren't HN supposed to deduplicate links? I thought duplicate URL submissions not allowed..
HN allows duplicate submissions after a certain amount of time has passed

> At the end of it, they were sketching a completely different architecture without my "PMing". Because they finally understood who was actually using our product.
I cannot help but read this whole experience as: “We forced an engineer to take sales calls and we found out that the issue was that our PMs are doing a terrible job communicating between customer and engineering, and our DevOps engineer is more capable/actionable at turning customer needs into working solutions.”
The first rule of Hacker News comments is it's never the engineer's fault

I don't understand how so many tech-minded people on this site completely disregard the value of privacy. How is this a win?
My expectation of privacy when in a vehicle with dozens if not hundreds of strangers with cameras is low.

Old school but all the machines for paying in cash in Japan are so optimized for speed. Train stations, onboard buses, convenience stores. Just throw in a handful of coins and it quickly picks what it needs and returns what it doesn’t.
In other countries (eg australia), the ticket machines could only take a single coin at a time and would reject if you did it too fast.
I believe this is one (of several) reasons why cash has continued to be dominant in Japan.
Sydney lets you use your credit card to tap on to trains and buses, which is very nice

Tried it out for a bit - recently upgraded to Max so was willing to try one of these run-stuff-in-parallel tools.
It wasn't great.
- Installation using the provided binaries just fails on my machine - I have Ubuntu 22.04, which apparently has too old a version of glibc. Building from sourced worked though.
- Every time I want to open a new chat, it brings me back to the project list. I don't want to click on the same project every time!
- Scrolling is awful! It's slow, and it often doesn't automatically scroll down as the chat is generated so you have to do it yourself.
- There's no title or anything across sessions. If I'm now working on multiple things at the same time, I want to know what I'm working on quickly!
- The log/text entries take up so much space. Something like this would benefit from a much more compact view - it shouldn't use my entire screen to show me 1 TODO list and 1 tool use.
- Unlike the video, the code changes are all wrapped in a "AI Summary" entry which tells me what it did in a few words, with no option (that I could find) to open the code itself. Confused, couldn't find a setting for this.
- There's multiple UI bugs, and it's sluggish overall.
I didn't use the Agents stuff, which (given the video starts with it) might be the main focus? But as it stands, for my attempt at running multiple Claude Code sessions at once, this was too buggy to really work. Someone else mentioned https://conductor.build/, which might be more what I'm looking for, but unfortunately it lacks Linux support.
I hope it gets better! I could see myself using it after a few more releases, and I'm rooting for them - just sharing my experience here for others who are considering trying it.
Agreed
I'm not as tied to the cli as other folks here, but even I found the Claude Code cli to be a better experience than this too.
I think it will improve, but for now I'm sticking with the cli.

Attention is scarce, but what makes it valuable?

A feature Id like to see is an option to invert the grid, i.e. show the composites instead of the primes

And then later, when you couldn’t read your own handwriting, you said, “This damn thing is illegible— so it’s probably valid Perl.”
Perl is just Python with bad handwriting
