I couldn't find the source code in the repo

LGPL issues aside, will a project like this need to pay the h264 patent fee?

I recently vibe coded an e2e encrypted file vault for myself. I use it a lot. It also has built in offline music player and read-it-later.

I also have built a p2p based remote shell to manage my servers. Also works well.

It says California is cheaper than Texas? That contradicts my personal experience.

how much did you pay for APIs during the 2 months?

does it use the claude code api or the claude code cli? You know, the claude code api is more expensive.

I also hope it can have a webapp version, rather than electron. because most of our work are on a remote server.

It actually uses the Claude code SDK so it plugs into whatever you already have.

It can use API/CLI or even if you have a private hosted instance.

We're actually working on a remote web app version but its a little trickier to wire up.

These are great questions - thank you!

If it uses the SDK then it's token burn? Or can it "legally" use your Claude.ai MAX account, your subscription account?

Great question - we're going to look into this in-depth.

Not allowed? This is easy to find in the Agent SDK docs

"Unless previously approved, Anthropic does not allow third party developers to offer claude.ai login or rate limits for their products, including agents built on the Claude Agent SDK. Please use the API key authentication methods described in this document instead."

https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/overview

We saw this, but thought it was for Agents calling the API directly. Outworked is just a wrapper around your CLI using the existing agents and sub-agents in your Claude Code installation.

It's a great point though and we'll need to read into this more in-depth. Appreciate you raising this.

Right, pretty sure people got their accounts shut down for doing this kinda thing in the early days of OpenClaw before it was renamed and when it supported login. I guess you can take your chances but API is probably the only safe way to use this.

is this accurate? it doesn't seem to count the state tax?

I'm curious how a gpu language's syntax design can be different from CUDA kernel?

Because I think there is no way to avoid concepts like thread_id.

I'm curious how GPU programming can be made (a lot) simpler than CUDA.

Most GPU work boils down to a few patterns — map, reduce, scan. Each one has a known way to assign threads.

So instead of writing a kernel with thread_id:

  let c = gpu_add(a, b)
  let total = gpu_sum(c)

The thread indexing is still there — just handled by the runtime, like how Python hides pointer math.

how to prevent others from building a copycat using ai?

The discussion here is going sideways, and I blame the underwhelming blog post.

Having money is NOT an economic moat-- i.e., a durable, structural competitive advantage.

He overlooks broader, true definition of moat attributes like labor supply, infrastructure, PP&E, brand, network, natural monopolies, switching costs, regulation. These don't go away with commoditized CRUD apps.

And quoting someone with decades of experience implying that things are hard now and innovation didn't turn over industries in the last 25+ years is a joke.

The more I think about it the more brainrot the article really is. As if all problems are solved and pumping out soulless shovelware companies is worth anything. It really is "just one more app" all over again.

Knowledge ? For b2c it might be more difficult, but in b2b, understanding your customer and their specifics issue and developing something made for them is one of the big challenge. Being able to spit out code for free is useless if you don't know what and who you are making the code for.

The same way you prevented this previously. Copying successful products is nothing new, AI just makes it easier.

Marketing, lawyers, good customer support, creating relationships with customers.

You work on niches that have very specific requirements that you can only derive from having a good relationship with customers and so you attend to those needs faster than competitors who are out of the loop.

> you attend to those needs faster than competitors

I wonder if this type of hustling can be called moat building?

Let's just say, building software alone is not enough.

You cant. You can only focus on building your own product and making it durable and just much better

by keeping the how part a secret

You don't.
