Does Claude control the VPS via SSH from your machine or does it install a worker there?

The internet was/is inter-machine communication for the military (and/or business), then a way to beat our ignorance, then a user-generated content machine. It was most certainly not invented by someone who thought reality is too boring.
I find this wider reactionary "touch grass" movement boring and interesting simultaneously. It is boring, because nobody interested in internet-as-community health asked for many of the abuses that have happened to it and obviously you'd want to flee those. It is interesting because... I never would have expected that 20 years ago.

This is sort of an allegory of Sonic itself. As long as you have a single coin you get to try again.

So what was the point of stucco anyway?

"Will I receive any additional storage during the transition to shared storage?
Existing Microsoft 365 Family and Premium customers who meet eligibility requirements in supported markets might receive bonus storage when their subscription renews after shared storage rolls out.
[...]
What happens if my family uses more than the storage quota?
You don't immediately lose access to your files. If your subscription approaches the 2 TB limit, you'll receive notifications so that you can plan ahead. You can free up space, purchase additional storage, upgrade your subscription, or take other steps to avoid disruption. If your subscription exceeds the limit, you can continue to access your files for up to one year while you manage your storage."
Wonder what those supported markets are. Also note the hilarious framing instead of plainly saying that storage media has become more expensive:
"Why is Microsoft making this change?
The goal is to provide a more flexible experience. Shared storage helps ensure that one person doesn't run out of space while other members have unused storage available."

Claude, think for me. Make no mistakes.

"His experiments have never been successfully replicated by other researchers, and wild colonies of rats don't seem to display any of the personality types he so vividly described. He rarely published in mainstream scientific journals, saying that his concerns were so pressing that he didn't have time to wait for peer review. It seems plausible that Calhoun was responsible for creating the conditions for population collapse. He only cleaned out Universe 25 every six to eight weeks; disease and parasitism could account for many of the phenomena he thought were due to mere proximity" - https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/n13/jon-day/the-beautifu...

Yeah we're rapidly transgressing to "AI, think for me" territory. At this point I just try to enjoy this somehow. The economic pressure is way too strong.

Then it's a game about collecting enough capital that you'll be the last one standing.

This has already been the case with classical software. AI only stretches it further.

When everyone suddenly started calling themselves engineers instead of programmers I cringed (yes, that's a lot of cringe over the past decade+), precisely because no formal guarantees were ever given (and still largely aren't).
It's like eyeballing the dimensions of a building and saying it should hold. That said, I see the discipline excused. The stakes weren't that high and it was all very new... And e.g. mechanical engineering went through this as well, except a lot of people actually died.
Time to shine, theoretical CS, time to shine.
Could be better, could be worse.
