My First Experience with Claude Computer Use - It's Mind-Blowing!

Just tested Claude's new Computer Use feature and had to share this simple but powerful test:

My Basic Prompt: "Please: 1. Search Amazon for 3 wireless earbuds: Find price Rating Brand name

2. Make a simple Excel file 'earbuds.xlsx': Put the information in a basic table Add colors to the headers Sort by price

3. Show me the results"

What blew my mind: - Claude actually looked at my screen - Moved the mouse by itself - Clicked buttons like a human - Created reports automatically

It's like having a virtual assistant that can really use your computer! No coding needed - just simple English instructions.

... it's almost as Claude Computer Use could (and will) just replace you entirely, huh?


Consider Microsoft Clarity—it's free, offers session recordings, heatmaps, and detailed insights. It's easy to integrate with Vercel, and unlike usage-based platforms, has no hidden costs. A good alternative if you want more than basic analytics.


Just started experimenting with Ministral 8B! It even passed the "strawberry test"! https://x.com/mustafaergisi/status/1846861559059902777


That just means it was trained recently enough to have it in training data.


Canvas lets you interact with and edit code/documents more fluidly. I used it to transform my HTML blog into TypeScript in no time! Super helpful for coding and experimenting. https://x.com/mustafaergisi/status/1841946224682774536


How do you go from html to typescript?


I think they mean at the end of the clip they drag the slider from HTML to Typescript and it puts all of the blog data into structured Typescript data then writes a function which will generate an HTML page from that. The resulting blog output will still eventually be HTML, it's just whether the entries are made as data segments automatically stitched together or entered via raw HTML formatting.


I used OpenAI Canvas to help with the conversion. Essentially, I took the static HTML/CSS and wrote TypeScript to dynamically render blog posts.


Since immigration sponsorship is crucial, it’s wise to stay while passively exploring new opportunities and networking. Focus on upskilling or working on side projects to keep yourself prepared for future moves. If the current role isn’t providing value, think about how it can still support your long-term goals.


I tested Llama 3.2 on my MacBook, and it runs impressively fast. I plan to look more deeply into its capabilities and have some specific use cases in mind for further testing. Fine-tuning could be improved, and better integration with AI stacks like RAG would be helpful. Overall, it's a solid model with great potential! https://x.com/mustafaergisi/status/1839647877498278311


Can you explain how you would like fine tuning to be improved?


more options for customizable tuning would be great.


An alternative to Agile is Deep Work, which focuses on uninterrupted time for focused problem-solving instead of frequent meetings and updates. While Agile promotes quick iterations, Deep Work emphasizes sustained concentration, allowing teams to tackle complex tasks without distractions. It’s not a framework, but a focus-oriented approach that could complement or enhance existing workflows.


this is heaven for ADHD folks


I recently created a blog website using OpenAI o1, and it’s been great for generating content with minimal effort. If you're looking for something self-hosted, you can check out my project on GitHub here: [https://github.com/mergisi/openai-o1-coded-personal-blog . Let me know if you have any questions or need more details!


I’ve been experimenting with o1 as well, and while it hasn’t radically changed my workflows, I did use it to create a blog webpage with minimum human effort required. It helped automate much of the content creation process, reducing the need for constant oversight.

Why is the ai slop from o1 better?


Not everyone wants to start their own company. As a founding engineer, you can make a significant impact, gain valuable experience, and potentially reap rewards through equity—without bearing all the risks and responsibilities of being a founder.
