I was concerned once I started using agents and built a tool that I use a lot when I'm building that helps me engage thoughtfully with what I'm co-creating with Agents called Intraview.

Allows Claude to create code tours I can navigate with the Agent, give feedback, and iterate together. It's a nice inner-loop step to internalize what's changing and why.


Congrats on getting this out. What was the most surprising part of the build?

most surprising was that something this lightweight made such a big impact on my productivity. its really nice to have persistent Claude teams on my remote machines that I can always access no matter what.

The link allows you to "Speed read" the PG essay "Putting Ideas to Words".

I'm experimenting with a UX that I've been optimizing it for "speed reading" any online article. Initially, I made it for my 8 yo son, to see whether he found the experience more or less compelling to reading off a page.

Good news is he enjoyed it and was comprehending as well or better than reading it the conventional way. I paused from time to time to ask questions to confirm comprehension and he was actually absorbing material faster than his school thought he could read.

That led me to try locally, an LLM that'll generate questions and I'm considering a little App that pauses every N seconds with multiple choice questions to keep engagement and comprehension to make it a sort of reading game.

You can play with custom markdown here: https://cyrusradfar.com/labs/adhd-reader

There's a bookmarklet you can add to chrome/safari/etc., if you'd like to play with it across the web.

Feedback and ideas for directions to take this experiment are welcome.


Whether this is confirmed or not, we have countless examples of AI used in targeting in Gaza.

Anthropic were very vocal, well before this happened, that they were against the use case.

I don't blame them. These use cases are like blaming MySQL for storing the lat/long of the school. AI can't be held accountable and the company was trying to protect us and, yes, it was too late.


"A Computer Can Never Be Held Accountable Therefore a Computer Must Never Make a Management Decision"

I remember this but I can't remember where it's from? IBM?


I mean, they've made the argument that their computer learns like a human, so should be able to get away with ingesting all the data it sees, the same way a human does.

Why shouldn't it also go to jail, the same way a human does?


What? How? By putting the computer or robot that made mistake in a prison cell?

Yes. Claude exists on physical media somewhere. Put that media in a cell with no access to the internet. No one must access Claude outside of visitation hours.

Just because it's difficult doesn't mean it can't be done. If you're claiming your machine should be treated like a human, then let's treat it like a human.


I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not…

It's a funny way of imposing a very large fine. Make the service only available during predefined "visitation hours", prevent updated learning except from resources available in the prison, restrict speech and actions according to prison rules etc.

I mean, the problem is whoever follow the suggestion without double checking

I bet there is some moronic explanation. I have no doubt at this point and how things are going.

Well at least you know who to fire

Except Arabic or Ethiopian Jews. They have a bit of leeway that way.


And hostages coming towards you with their hands up speaking Hebrew.

They weren't trying to protect squat, and were not against this use case. Their only two red lines are "no mass domestic surveillance" and "no fully autonomous killing until the AI gets good enough to be able to do it". Assuming the story is true, there's no chance this was a fully autonomous act and was most certainly approved and executed by people.


I would also challenge "no mass domestic surveillance"

> These use cases are like blaming MySQL for storing the lat/long of the school.

A storage layer versus a decision making system? What a ridiculous comparison.


/s this guy gets it. Thank you, finally speaking my language

Good eve or good day!

tl;dr

App that only lets red light through the monitor. On Mac, has no CPU impact as it runs through display controller. Slightly different mechanisms on win/linux.

Free to install and test it out if you like it. Nothing remote in it including no telemetry. No accounts needed, totally free.

Tell me what you think (especially if it's late for you).

Correct me if I'm wrong but the UX difficulty with the Google API ecosystem isn't resolved. It's the goddamn permissioning and service accounts. Great to have a CLI that every other minute says, "you can't do this" -- the CLI really needed to solve this to check my boxes.


OP here - tl;dr from the post

I’m an Iranian American developer. The US is bombing my parents’ country. Before the bombs, sanctions already cut Iranian developers off. Gilens and Page found US citizens have “near-zero” impact on their own government's policy decisions. If Americans can’t control their government, why punish 90 million Iranians for theirs? Sanctions are the Versailles playbook: they destroy the middle class, the only group that ever drove reform from within. Call 844-228-6422 and tell Congress to vote on the War Powers Resolution.


Cool project, congrats on making it to Show. It's always a nice moment whether or not the community notices.

This is off-topic, but I'm curious on your interest in Zig and experience getting started. I haven't explored the language, yet. Currently, I'm focused on absorbing the rust ecosystem a bit better.


Curious about the X/social feature, technically. How are you getting the data? Is it via official APIs or scraping
