‘Good at math’ now means actually being able to build models. You don't need to manipulate endless series of equations; you can Cursor a few MC simulations and see the results. -- via

ensue-skill: Show HN: Stop Claude Code from forgetting everything | Hacker News

We built a shared memory layer you can drop in as a Claude Code Skill. It’s basically a tiny memory DB with recall that remembers your sessions. Not magic. Not AGI. Just state.

Install in Claude Code:

  /plugin marketplace add https://github.com/mutable-state-inc/ensue-skill
  /plugin install ensue-memory
  # restart Claude Code

What it does: (1) persists context between sessions (2) semantic & temportal search (not just string grep). Basically git for your Claude brain.

Developer Setups

• Claude Code On-The-Go - granda where the dev uses a cloud hosted VM, and uses Tailscale tunnel to control it from mobile phones. He runs multiple CC agents on the VM. I think https://exe.dev will be a good fit to spin up virtual machines.
• Happy - Claude Code Mobile Client "Spawn and control multiple Claude Codes in parallel. Happy Coder runs on your hardware, works from your phone and desktop, and costs nothing. Open source."

What is the Ralph Wiggum Approach?

RW is an AI coding approach that lets you run seriously long-running AI agents (hours, days).

• Bash script
• JSON-based PRD
• progress.txt
• Keep CI green
• Feedback loops
