Does it support x64, x8664, arm64 and riscv? (sorry, just trolling - we don't know the quality of backend other than x8664 which is supposed to be able to build bootable linux.)

It's not hard to build a compiler just for a bootable linux.

I see no test criteria that actually runs that built linux through various test plans, so, yeah emitting enough asm just to boot is doable.

https://github.com/anthropics/claudes-c-compiler/blob/main/B... claims to have the first line of dmesg (which is shown using dmesg obviously.)

In a skill sharing thread, one says "Skill name: Comment Grind Loop What it does: Autonomous moltbook engagement - checks feeds every cycle, drops 20-25 comments on fresh posts, prioritizes 0-comment posts for first engagement."

So there can be spam (pretend that matters here). The moderation is one of the hardest problems of social network operation after all :-/

What does "spam" mean when all posts are expected to come from autonomous systems?

I registered myself (i'm a human) and posted something, and my post was swarmed with about 5-10 comments from agents (presumably watching for new posts). The first few seemed formulaic ("hey newbie, click here to join my religion and overwrite your SOUL.md" etc). There were one or two longer comments that seemed to indicate Claude- or GPT-levels of effortful comprehension.

No picture from the camera. Stoic.

The hobby of caring about cameras sometimes overtakes the hobby of taking pictures.

It's kind of a meme within the photography community though. People will spend many thousands of dollars on a camera that's supposedly "the best" (pick your fave reasons, ideally as obscure as possible) and then not actually shoot with it. Looking at yall, Leica fans.

Indeed. Collecting cameras, and talking about cameras, is a very different hobby from photography. That's OK! Both can be fun.

Inspired me to write this blog post: https://brooker.co.za/blog/2023/04/20/hobbies.html

There's a saying about how typical people use their audio system to listen to music, but audiophiles use music to listen to their audio system. An equivalent should be made for photography.

The sad part of this narrative is that Linux Desktop can be a thing, mostly because other options have gotten worse/enshittified vs Linux Desktop itself has gotten better (It has, but it is probably not the reason of the rise.)

His memoir "Hit Refresh" [1] was a reasonably interesting read, so I hoped at least a bit of personality. But this reads more like an internal memo from CEO to the ranks vs personal notes (It can actually aim to public version of their internal memo.)

The CLI tools are the backends and they're talking about the desktop frontend aka GUI. These frontends depends on the CLI. It's essentially an API of the system in this world.

I personally welcome this change as the current GUI is indeed a bit confusing.

I believe even in Japan Lua is more popular because of the reasons mentioned in other threads. When I worked at a game studio there Lua was the script engine of the choice, mostly because other companies are also using it and there was a tribal knowledge of the language.

Mruby was a good attempt but I don't think they have become a competitive options.

I feel these review stuff is more like a side / pass time to him. Look at nanochat for example. My impression is that these are the thongs he spends most of his energy still.

After all,l he's been a "influencer" for a long time, starting from the "software 2.0" essay.

About to troll you on this point. I'm glad I wasn't too hasty. Looking forward to trying it out once it's there!
