If you’re going to run your own NAS then consider swapping Google Photos out with Immich. I know it’s not the question you asked but I feel not enough people know about it as an option and it’s really as good as Google Photos.

I do something similar. When I have an errand to run, I ask Claude to draft a detailed explanation of something I’m interested in which would be the amount of my driving time when read aloud. Then I have it read it to me aloud on my drive.

Agree. I didn’t mean stronger in that sense. I meant how it naturally extends to Claude Design, Claude CoWork, Claude Code. ChatGPT is too awkward to do that with.

The branding of Claude is so much stronger than ChatGPT. Even Anthropic is such better branding than OpenAI (especially considering they're not open at all). My wife knows about Claude because that's what I use and we pay for. She

I imagine there are ways for existing investors to achieve liquidity while still raising venture funding. But an IPO is "the" liquidity event and I imagine there will be pressure from investors for that. I also imagine that ventur

Truth is the wrong word for a future outcome. But… Weren’t Schmidt’s comments on AI the harsh “truth” from the perspective of someone who directly benefits from the wealth extraction capabilities of AI? It’s not the only possible truth. And

> The question is not whether AI will shape the world. It will. The question is whether you will help shape artificial intelligence. It's a cute thought that big tech wants our help to shape artificial intelligence.

I think what was left out of the blog post was "helpful to the advertiser". The meta point is that advertising has become so ingrained into society it really is difficult to differentiate if a need or desire originated intrinsic o

I am on the board of a non profit and Claude has enabled workflows that just would never have happened. In 1 week I've done the following for them: 1. Automated ingestion of hand-written tuition scholarship applications into Google She

Learning how to use a proper IDE is a change in workflow. I never made that switch. The muscle memory of 2 decades of using a software is under appreciated. For me, it is about preference for what to optimize for.

My non technical wife knows both ChatGPT and Anthropic (admittedly, because of me) but doesn’t know Gemini. This is amazing to me. Surely she has seen Gemini in Google search but even her use of that is plummeting. Google has so much revenu

I advise a medical non profit and we ran a series of tests against cases doctors input to our system looking for specialist recommendations. Our findings found that gpt-5-mini performed better than gpt-5, sonnet 4 and medgemma. I think thes

That’s pretty cool - I hadn’t seen it. This is the approach I used and tried to make a product from. I’m not pursuing that anymore but sharing for folks who want to run wire without dealing with drywall. https://trywireshark.com

That’s very cool - did not know about that. Listening for commands to run seems similarly dangerous as having a proxy installed!

I only learned about Native Messaging this week. I've been hacking away at a browser-based tool that uses anthropic APIs on the backend. But what I really want is for the browser to talk to my local claude becuase I have MCPs, skills,

This has been great for me too. Every feature starts and completes with /gh-issue <issue number>. Every issue is created with /spec and a conversation with a human. Once the spec is materialized as an issue it’s sufficient f

Both things can be true. AI can help you in the near term and harm you in the long term. I think the more people use AI the more their view shifts from the former to the latter.

After 25 years of writing code in vim, I've found myself managing a bunch of terminal sessions and trying to spot issues in pull requests. I wouldn't have thought this could be the case and it took me actually embracing it before

We've seen a steady shift in music over the past 2 decades from full length albums, to single hits, to artificially generated. Surely there's some gained and some lost. But coming from the era of buying an entire album, spending t

Yup, the manager gets implicit credit for the work their team does. In most cases, deservedly so. I don't see why it should be any different for engineers using LLMs as "direct reports". Not all engineers will be the same lev

This is basically the same workflow I've come to adopt. I don't use any "pre-built" skills, mine are actually still .md files in the .claude/command/ folder because that's when I started. The workflow is s

I buy it. SaaS doesn’t have to go extinct for this to be true. I’m building an app and many things I’d normally pay for like metrics and emailing I can just do myself. A friend has a law firm employing 100+ people and they are building so m

I did not - I wasn't trying to evade - I was just being lazy. I do believe whoever the font owners are paying just scrape the HTML and CSS looking for patterns matching their font.

In practice, is AI incapable of performing human-judgement ... at the levels most humans do?
