I got sucked into it recently and read it all the way through in 5 days. It was honestly a lot of fun.

I'd be curious to see this, but with the "rotted" broken down into those where the content is recoverable through Internet Archive vs. those that are truly gone.

Waiting for the day when Claude can make better use of that water than me

Great analogy

Likewise

I wouldn’t want it to be the default across the board though. It’s nice that they’re treated like all other users. By seeing them you might realize you don’t like them, and then opt into a thread customization thing.

Curious what others think.

I like them, but I think it should be easier to customize to your preferences. A good labeler (maybe they already exist) and a client with better thread controls should do the trick.

Another perspective from the replies

This is what I hear from my family in Japan but I haven’t done any research to back that up myself.

I was trying to think of something that would work well as a fun little gift for my barber who’s from Brazil. Could encircle the country like this as a bit of art.

Heart as an example

Fractal where you fill in space by iteratively drawing the biggest circle you can, except there’s a blocked out area so that as you fill in more circles, that area becomes more apparent.

Also, this is a great way for me to contribute to the room decor because I can make something cool and she can adjust the colors to fit the aesthetic we’re going for.

win-win

I was torn trying to figure out what I should do a visualization of, but then my partner reminded me that I can just do all of them and see what turns out nicely. Great idea.

Not a new thought for me lol

I want to make art like this for apartment decoration

Yeah I think it's pure. There's an option to disable the default system prompt but I didn't check that.

I was surprised too. I'm used to Claude with my user preferences which I've refined to avoid the sycophantic behavior so it was jarring to go back to the default.

Also filing this under "humans are pretty cool, actually"

YouTube video by Hank Green The Fermi Paradox and Natural Selection

Hank Green articulates something I've felt but haven't ever put down on paper (yay communicators that can do this):

The "humans bad" solution to the Fermi Paradox, that is, "humans are especially bad and expansionary", does not make a lot of sense.

My first Numinex thread

^ my feelings exactly. A shared platform to interact with AI is great.

"I’ve learned interesting ways to elicit behavior from models, but it’s very difficult to share the tacit knowledge that comes from large time investments in solo-player practice and exploration. And I don’t know what else is out there, because I can’t watch how other people interact with models."

The blog post is worth reading too, even if you don't try it out.

This is fascinating. I've wanted a better way to publicly use AI and share their outputs for a while now, and this is a step in the right direction.

I explored this thought with Claude Sonnet 4 through Numinex

I'm curious about this too. My first thought is that it's probably because fetch works fine?

Even if it doesn't exist, it wouldn't take too long to set up, I imagine.

Tbh there's probably a workflow for this out there already—I just haven't gotten around to looking for it.

The `bm` "Web Bookmarks" feature is already really good, but I don't always want to open Safari bookmarks in Safari and Chrome bookmarks in Chrome. If I'm able to just copy the URL, then it's easy to open it wherever.

Not directly helpful but this reminded me of something that I wanted to work on: Alfred workflow for surfacing and copying bookmarks
