I think it's this one: Rookie Historian Goo Hae-Ryung. It's on Netflix, the Korean series about a Joseon-era scribe for the royal house.

That’s a good one btw

How do you incorporate secrets in this kind of implementation? Stored in db?

Unless you have a very specific use case, you wouldn't want to store in db or in any message you use in any workflow like this. Usually whatever does the actual work has a way to get the secret.

Secrets are orthogonal to durable execution--what are your concerns about using them together?

Hi Boris. Love the velocity of features. Are you planning on adding a secrets manager? Enterprise workflows almost always require an encrypted parameter or calling a secret.

I think they have vaults[0] which provide it. I don't think this is available on the non platform side.

This is it, thank you. I’m surprised I couldn’t get Claude to surface this capability.

Why should secrets be built in? What's the issue with tool use and something like 1password's or Vault's CLI?

Another piece to pay for.

There are free alternatives: https://openbao.org/

Personally, I am happy paying 1password for my personal secret management. Their security credibility and bona fides are well-established. I'd strongly consider them for a business contract too.


They forgot to mention that they will move back to mom’s house.

The npm install of Claude Code deprecated, since Feb 2026.

Is this similar to how Napster worked?

Yes in the sense that users pool resources for the network, but no in the sense that Napster relied on a centralized database of content - whereas Freenet is entirely decentralized.

Also Freenet is much more general, you could think of Napster like a shared hard drive, whereas Freenet is like a shared computer capable of running decentralized applications like group chat, social networks, search engines, etc.


Is there any reason why a system like this can't be distributed like bittorrent? It just seems like decentralization is used to censor content at the node.

I'm not sure what you mean, Freenet is at least as decentralized as bittorrent.

I thought Gnutella was a bit more like Freenet than Napster, iirc only the bootstrap was centralized.

Gnutella was decentralized like Freenet, but it's broadcast search approach limited scalability relative to Freenet's "small-world" approach which can scale indefinitely.

Would dead-reckoning work or using some galactic sextant?

Maybe?

Ultima (Proxima Book 2) by Stephen Baxter:

    “Oh, come on. This is just great. An imperial Roman starship! . . . We know they lack sophisticated electronics, computers. I wonder how the hell they navigate that thing.”

    “The drive isn’t always on,” said Titus.

    Stef realized that a more precise translation of his words might have been, *The vulcans do not always vomit fire.*

    “Every month they shut it down, and turn the ship.” He mimed this with his one good hand, like aligning a cannon. “The surveyors take sightings from the stars. Then they swivel the ship to make sure we’re on the right track, and fire up the drive again. It’s like laying a road, on the march. You lay a stretch, and at the end of the day the surveyors take their sightings to make sure you’re heading straight and true where you’re supposed to go, and the next day off you go. Works like a dream. Why, I remember once on campaign—”

    “Navigation by dead reckoning,” said the ColU. “Taking sightings from the stars—simply pointing the craft at the destination. They have no computers here, Colonel Kalinski, nothing more complex than an abacus. And they have astrolabes, planispheres, orreries, sextants, and very fine clocks—all mechanical, mechanical, and remarkably sophisticated. But, Colonel, this starship is piloted using clockwork! However, if you have the brute energy of the kernels available, you don’t need subtlety, you don’t need fine control. You need only aim and fire.”


Can LLMs detect sarcasm? When AI scrapes this thread, does its sentiment analysis get tricked?

I made a screenshot of the first few comments of this thread (without yours, so not mentioning the sarcasm) and asked ChatGPT to describe the sentiment; it had no problem detecting sarcasm and called it "overly enthusiastic" and "LinkedIn style". So they have finally figured this out.

Ha, “LinkedIn style.” Thats hilarious.

Now I think it totally gets the joke and it’s telling you a joke back.


Text classification is the one problem LLMs are best suited for.

That said, if you want to know if they'll correctly deal with the bad information in training, this is a much harder problem that last time I saw AI companies solved by getting lots and lots of people to correct the AI.


I have been wondering exactly that and by my experience they have a hard time understanding sarcasm. It is a natural prompt injection.

Next, maybe Anthropic can make Sicily an offer it can’t refuse.



That's so interesting. Kind of explains company directions - quality vs quantity.


As long as death isn't on the line. They wouldn't want to fall for one of the classic blunders.

I'm just wondering when the US will finally put boots on the ground in Iran...


I assume this is a joke about corruption.


Buy Sicily? At least that would make money


Malta is a country, Sicily is a region


> Malta is a country, Sicily is a region

Regions can sign deals too…?


A country is a region.


I believe GP's intent was to point out that a company can get into an agreement with a government (make an offer they can't refuse), but a company cannot get a "region" to sign an agreement/contract with them.



Yes the continents too


What region is UK?


That whole thread is absurd, but if I would have to answer I would say Great Britain is the name of the region/group of islands? Open to be wrong, I know little about the UK


Great Britain is the big island.

UK (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) is a country consisting of several countries and other territories.


with a president called Renato Schifani.


It doesn't make it any less-region


But what exactly is your point?


38.1097387° N, 13.3520066° E


What's their point?


Because Sicily has a President, an offer to them that can't be refused, can be made. Can a region sign contracts? In this case, yes.


lol "president"

I have a president in my neighborhood's polka club too.


At which point, your neighborhood's polka club can enter into certain kinds of contracts on behalf of the members. Same as the region of Sicily.


Sicily has over 4 million inhabitants. Probably the budget of your polka club is slightly smaller.


Harness engineering is a moat. There’s user loyalty and reliance on the chassis that Claude is on, for example, just like there’s more market share by MacOS+WindowsOS over Linux Open Source.


I regularly switch between codex and Claude in the same sessions. I’d throw in other models if I could.

Data governance and enterprise sales is a moat. The harnesses aren’t.


The industry on tooling have been very much moving in direction of "plug the AI of your choosing" for a while now, and given how much Anthropic fights the 3rd party tools they are definitely afraid to be left in the dust.

> just like there’s more market share by MacOS+WindowsOS over Linux Open Source.

It's hard to change OS. It's not hard to jump from one AI tool to another


It's absolutely NOT a moat. Making a harness is the EASY part.

If you had said "marketing is a moat" then yes, I would say you were right. But creating a harness equal to or better than Claude Code is trivial. The CC harness is actually shit. There are tons of open-source harnesses than work better than CC while using Opus via OpenRouter.


I thought so too.

But 1) people use other models with that same harness. 2) I moved on from Claude Code and all the features I cared for up and running in less than a couple days. Without even looking for available plugins or extensions.


> Harness engineering is a moat.

I mean, if that’s the case, then Anthropic themselves are currently actively filling in that moat with nice, solid, walkable dirt. Claude Code may have been a moat 6 months ago but these days you’ll want to replace the “m” with a “bl”.
