Will there be a Claude Sheets too? I find myself using Claude to work with spreadsheets more than almost any other document type. It does okay now, but feel like it could be even better, especially with visualizations and formulas.

I do this for porting things to DOS. Was swapping a CF card back and forth between a 486 PC and my laptop that was running Claude and it was extremely tedious and required me to physically be at the system. Automated it entirely by giving

I'm doing something similar for DOS SDL ports. Repo isn't public yet, but idea is to have a repo with a knowledge base, skills and patches agents can use when porting to avoid having to bootstrap everything from scratch.

It's dumb, but whenever I see something representing the planets, I always count them. Occasionally you come across places that still include Pluto. Most recent example I found was the Swatch MoonSwatch Collection [1], which includes t

I knew of GPG key signing parties, but never anything at this scale or impact. Might try booting the "Signing Computer Operating System Image Release coen-2.0.1" ISO in a VM and checking it out.

That's great they replaced it under warranty. I thought I broke the IDE connector once on the motherboard when re-connecting the cable because a pin was missing. The Gateway support rep calmed me down on the phone and that's how I

I've am working my way through benchmarking it on a few different CPUS [1]. A Pentium Overdrive 83MHz gets around 30fps, and the 486DX2-66MHz around 20fps. Because the 50MHz will use a bus speed to 25MHz I am expecting it to be 10-15fp

I have a PicoGUS and have had a lot of fun futzing around with Claude and porting Cave Story to DOS [1] the last couple of months after SDL announced DOS support. Originally I was just using it as a Soundblaster, but in the last few weeks a

Semi-related, since SDL added support for DOS a few weeks ago I've worked with Claude to port Cave Story to DOS [1]. On a Pentium 75 it can get 30fps and with decoupling the frame timer it plays at the same speed as the original. The p
