My mother completely stopped driving in her early 70s... thank god for the Swiss medical driving fitness test! (now at 75 instead of 70?) she was perfectly fine with it, online food order+delivery had become available, and her immediate neighbors were loving people helping her whenever I+siblings were not easily available.

yes Papis includes a web app you can start with:

Claudia is open-source, made by a S24 YC company https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/asterisk

I'm shocked that YC hasn't advised them that this name is terrible. It actively breaks trust by trying to piggyback on Anthropic's tool naming.

Move fast and break things. Being edgy like this is what VC's want to see.

Grab Claudet and Claudette quick!

Lots of apps named after the Whisper model (including mine - https://whispermemos.com/)

I wonder if I'll have to rename at some point.

If you're adding another word, it sounds more differentiated than Claude to Claudia. I was among the many who thought this was an official product from the makers of Claude. It's like if your product was called Whisperer.

More than that, the peer comments would support trademark issues

Wow, I thought it was an official app. Now I wonder what telemetry or even conversation data I have just sent offsite.

As others have said, this is a giant red flag.

I definitely thought this was an anthropic thing that they were trying to spin off into it's own website and app for normies.

I am not saying it's infringement, I am just saying that my dumb brain made that connection and I feel like it's not unreasonable to assume that other people might as well.

I also made the assumption. Once I found out it wasn't it was a huge red flag. I don't like it at all.

Agreed - I was about to send this round to my colleagues.

For once reading the comments first has paid off!

This is exactly why trademarks exist, and why if they want to bother, Anthropic can 100% make them change the name.

Same reason you can't release a handheld console called the Gamegirl, or a voice assistant called Alexis.

Once Anthropic starts receiving a wave of support tickets they would be forced to change their name, CLAUDia is just a misspelled ClaudAi

Oh wow. I thought it was anthropic even after skimming the site. The color scheme and styling is pretty similar. That feels a little slimy.

Same here, first thing I did was to scroll down to see company in the footer and nope... somebody will be receiving legal letters soon I'd guess.

Same. But of course, I checked the GitHub first, and I really dislike this confusion. I don't trust someone with my AI tools that's acting like they are trying to trick me into giving them sensitive access. Nope.

How will they make money?

Hosted version… like every oss project…

It’s a desktop app.

many desktop apps have hosted versions

I can’t think of any free desktop app that would have a non-free hosted version.

AGPL suggests you are correct

Step 1: Manufacture a bunch of low-quality "good enough" codebases

Step 2: Turn around and sell security-as-a-service to the most profitable products

It seems to be a side-gig to bring attention to their company. Well done.

I've personally had very satisfying results experimenting with several distinct therapy approaches, simply instructing the AI to analyze my story or dream according to this or that school of thought, ask clarifying questions, and suggest work I should do to improve (Gottman couples therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Jungian analysis, even Nathaniel Branden's self-esteem therapy, you name it...). I initially tried it out with AI because I couldn't find any Jungian therapist in-company-insurance-network in my metro area.

Isn't it well established that pregnant women host new brain cells that migrate from the fetus?

IIR, substantial and sustained fetal cell presence in the mother is often a sign that things are going wrong.

Not that I have ever heard. How could that be established?

ah, this is not about the Red Language that Intermetrics designed in 1977-79 to satisfy the Steelman requirements of the DoD's High Order Language Working Group... (the Green Language won and became known as Ada).

I thought maybe someone had put the DoD's Red language spec online.

And yes, someone has: https://iment.com/maida/computer/redref/

Consulting is the way to make money from specialized tools and code that you can't or don't want to turn into market commodity. Make sure you charge for the value you deliver to your clients, not the time it takes you to run your tools for them. Look into value-based consulting, e.g. the book "Value-Based Fees" by Alan Weiss. I've been doing this with my own tools and tailored code for a good decade, sometimes pulling in multiple 6-figure projects in a year. Good luck!

it usually starts with a stalactite, then a stalagmite; by the way is there a mnemonic for the two words in English? something like t for tumbling and m for mounting...

I always remember it with “g” for ground and “c” for ceiling… haha but I do like the mites and tites one too in a neighbor comment :)

The one I've heard is 'just remember ants in pants: the mites go up, the tites come down'

Stalactites hold “tight” to the ceiling.

Courtesy of a 30-year-old Bill Nye episode.

I also heard this lame one: stalagmites might hang, but they don't.

I memorized it as "c" for "ceiling" and "g" for "ground."

If I needed a mnemonic today, just remember that drops slowly drip from stalactites, like drops in a chemical titration procedure.

Tights go down and mites go up.

T from the top

hope it holds tight...

v.good image, thank you

I have fond memories of implementing a variety of parallelized search algorithms with Occam for the one Transputer we had at the school lab. I loved it. The professors and TAs thought I was nuts.

I too loved Occam. It was a real eye opener as to how you could structure things that more people should be exposed to.
