  • What? He was convinced by an auto complete function? The same thing that has existed for many years in any dedicated IDE? Nadella has clearly been off the tools a very long time.

    It’s pretty horrifying that someone could be regarded as an authority on the future of tech when they aren’t even aware of the present and recent past, but I guess Davos has never existed for realistic evaluations and accurate public information.

    Brb, I’m going to show him my amazing new invention, the wheel.



  • Lots of snuggles.

    It seems like you already have a good handle on the rest already, even if 3 URTIs in 5 months is no fun for anyone.

    It might be worth giving your house a thorough clean to see if that helps. Maybe there’s a source of irritants (molds, pollens, that kind of thing) that is only really problematic for someone with a weakened immune system, and therefore more prone to secondary infections.




    1. Ubuntu memory allocation and limits (I think). I haven’t dug too much into finding the root cause, but I have a recurring issue where the GUI freezes up, and it looks like it might be related to not handling well how much memory it needs for the task.

    Maybe it thinks it has more memory available than it does, or the gc isn’t running efficiently, or it’s allocating to 100% without including a sensible safety gap, something like that. It’s a significantly low-level enough problem that I’m wary of tinkering with values I don’t fully understand even if I wanted to spend the probably large amount of time necessary to find root cause.

    1. The fact Ubuntu now withholds package updates unless you’re paying for their “maintenance and compliance subscription”, but that’s probably on me to change distros. I get that Ubuntu employees need money so they can eat, just like I do, but … The idea of paying for core package updates feels like a nightmare waiting to happen, for both Ubuntu developers managing package dependencies and end-user experience.

  • I’d say Claude is not at all upfront about this behavior - maybe to the point of actively deceptive. I would never give it credentials myself, but I can see less cynical people than me being lulled into a false sense of security.

    Looking at my IDE integration (enterprise employer who thought AI was the solution for all things), it does mention in the interface that you can use markdown files as standing instructions (“memories”), and by proxy that tells you the default location of the logs folder. But I don’t think I’ve seen the Claude CLI ever mention logs. The in-CLI help command just points you to the online docs. Trying to “search” (chatbot) their online docs for the word “logs” only gave me info on how to hook up OTEL. The CLI has nothing in the settings about logs, and there’s nothing in their online “settings” docs even though they get pretty granular.

    All their docs really push phrases about safety and doing things only with your permission, and even use auth or login scenarios for code examples: “How Claude works”

    I can see they added a CLI command to let me order Claude stickers though, which speaks to their priorities I guess.
