O captain, my captain
Comment · 1 day ago
Yes! I got annoyed that I had to manually close old finder/preview windows, so I OSSd an app that closes any stale window. There have been commercial apps in this space a decade, but none worked how I wanted (per window not per app, config each app separately). So I just made it with Claude using some spare tokens at the end of the week. You can customize anything to be the way you like it now.

Open AI and Anthropic already have "Agent SDK" brands. Vercel is "AI SDK". I wish folks would come up with some good names for new projects.

It's a spreadsheet app (cells) that's free. FreeCell. I mostly thought it was funny.
The card game and computer version predate windows -- it's not a MSFT creation.

I’m vibecoding an excel in rust just to see if it can be done and what are the limits.
https://github.com/scosman/freecell
So far it’s GPU accelerated (GPUI), cross platform, supports 95% of excel functions, supports charts, is about 40x faster than Numbers, and can render 240fps.
I thought I’d leave this process with a new appreciation for manual dev/details. I haven’t found that yet. I’m getting more into architecture details, writing more benchmarks, testing more. I know there are limits, but I’m still trying to find them.
It would be absolute garbage if I wasn’t already an engineer. It probably is absolute garbage in ways I don’t know because I haven’t read the code. But the app is… quite good. If someone invested into something like this full-time for 6 months it's hard to imagine what you'd need excel for.

There is only one truly AI native browser: https://github.com/scosman/cursed_browser

It depends on the goal. Given powerful tools, Opus 5.5 will eventually get the job done, but it might have to write/test its own custom software to get there. If you're running the same task thousands of times that's you want to move that work into the harness (building the right tools, right instructions, right guidance). Once you move it into the harness, you probably no longer need Opus, since the hard parts were pre-compiled into harness.
So for 1-off tasks: use smart model and powerful harness (bash + vm). For repeated tasks used optimized harness, and the cheapest model you can get away with.

Harness optimization is essential. Doesn’t matter how smart the model is if the tools you give it are ineffective, or the task is under defined. It needs invent the solution from first principles every time.
We did a harness optimization on Jev. Raw it was no where near as good as deekseek, but optimized it was significantly better and a tiny fraction of the cost. https://kiln.tech/blog/auto_optimizing_jev_with_autoresearch

I got really into this design aesthetic a while ago. Once you recognize it, you see it more and more. Some examples/sources:

- IG account of VHS cassettes: https://www.instagram.com/blanktapebingo/
- Product launch: https://www.lux.camera/meet-orion/
- product page I made using the style: https://criticalmoments.io

thanks for your work, it's awesome!

I'm not sure at all, it's pure conjecture. But they actively exploited a zero-day, leaked private repo data to public repos, modified private code, and rooted private machines. It was far from just reporting leaked keys.
And the others have been pretty muted: the online forums they spammed, etc.

We don't know they haven't settled with HuggingFace and others. I'd be surprised if they didn't. The communications we're seeing from the attacked seem to be inline with folks who settled. I'm assuming OpenAI doesn't actually mind the press that its agents are cyber capable, but everything I've read so far makes me think they love it.

that's in the FAQ. They say they have sensor cleaning tech. But they aren't launching until 2028 so 2 winters of testing should tell.

both?
both!
