Same question, same scenario. I tried it on MacOS, and the first issue I experienced (don’t recall what it was) had me deep into Redhat forums to even understand what was happening. Switching to OrbStack was a no-brainer, but there are obvious tradeoffs from a features perspective.
I’m just happy to see diversity here; sometimes I feel like Nvidia is going to eat the world, with buying other fabs and branching out - or up, I guess - from chips and racks to models, frameworks, and end user stuff.
I unfortunately agree with you, selfishly. This used to be the forum where one could mostly find interesting technology and ideas and discuss them with intelligent people. An escape from the standard online hell and it’s people who must truly enjoy conflict - which my body instead interprets as anxiety and terror.
But now it’s here, and so are they. It’s probably the same people. It’s probably me.
WRT “Claude learns over time” - this is the biggest gap for me in the current system. As I scale my usage of Claude at work, I observe that it’s quite bad at distinguishing what it should “learn” (memorize) from experimental or just wrong data. It builds and builds on a foundation of sand, making sometimes hidden assumptions and turning them into actionable insight thats just not correct.
It recently wrote an entire dissertation for an epic, assuming it was related to some other project, where it had earlier made the wrong guess about a vendor capability (from their marketing materials, no less), and it all had to be thrown away. I cleared the memory, but it appears to be still pulling from some corporate data source i cant control or locate.
I like your app, and was a Premium subscriber for a while; I cancelled in a big purge, but seeing you post here has me reconsidering. Great product, the privacy angle was the biggest plus for me personally. Best of luck to you!
IME it’s more like 60, which then makes more sense given vision deterioration. Then again most of my over-40 experience is with folks in the tech industry.
Unfortunately, any “creator” who wants to be searchable on YouTube needs to optimize for that algorithm. I have the same feelings as you - and it includes pictures of their face pointing to something, with a particular expression of surprise.
I give Jeff a pass though, and make sure I send alternate goodness signals like liking his YT videos after I watch them. He’s one of us.
I assume this trust issue is related to the not-infrequent MacOS notifications asking for permission to run Ruby in the background or when the machine starts. It says nothing about Homebrew though.
Did you write the skill.md files yourself? I often wonder this; there’s so much text in most skills, and I can’t imagine it’s human generated.
I don’t write my own - I can’t optimize for the models understanding, and so I just give the skill-creator skill an outline and then have it refine until the output is what I want.
