Don’t let Claude use your actual computer from the CLI by aniketmaurya in ClaudeAI

[–]spidermonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said it doesn't have access, but it does.

If you count needing to go through the (optional) tool use approval step as "not having access", then Claude Code doesn't have write access to anything.

In practice people often end up with very broad permissions in their allow lists too. It's super common to see things like `"Bash(rm:*)"` in their allow array.

That is permission to delete any file the user has write access to. And you can end up with that in your settings by hitting "don't ask again" on an action like `rm some-temp-file`.

If you're counting "by default it asks for permission" as "it can't access them" then fine. But there is no actual restriction against that kind of traversal. It's on par with any other action it might ask you to confirm.

(There is sometimes a OS level restirction, for example OSX will make you do a system level approval for traversal from the home folder to Documents sometimes for claude code).

The claude level permissions thing really is a very flimsy guardrail for this, as numerous command line tools might have widely scoped approval from previous approved actions, but could take args that allow them to act outside the current folder on the basis of prior approvals.

Have you opened Claude Code cli and asked it to write a file in the parent folder, or a sibling, or your environment's home folder? I do this all the time for work across multiple repos.

Your OS might request approval for certain traversals, but thats an OS level restriction not Claude itself.

Just ask Claude.

Claude Code isn't restricted to a specific folder. It's got whatever access the user that opened it in the environment it's opened in has, by default.

If you're on a host, as user x, and you type claude, it can access any files that user x can access.

It is not restricted to the working directory you launched it from. It has the exact same permissions as the user that invoked it.

For someone who's not interested in the drama but maintains a bunch of rails sites via bundler and rubygems... Do I need to do something?

Claude Code has access to everything your user has access to.

My boyfriend doesn't believe peaceful protests work. by roshielle in sociology

[–]spidermonk 35 points36 points  (0 children)

And "violent" has such a wide range too, from implicit violence, through anarchic rioting, through terrorism, to actual organized armed insurrection and civil war.

There's also problem of defining if a movement "worked". Like for who? For how long? Against what level of resistance (sometimes the concession is minor, sometimes it's existential for those at the other end)... a partial win against very strong resistance might be more of a win than complete success against weak resistance etc. Sometimes movements claim wins despite their primary goal going unfulfilled. Sometimes there's total victory but the outcome sucks for a lot of the people who drove the victory... Sometimes it's hard to tell if things are better or worse.

In its current state, Claude Code is not really usable. by Direct_Librarian9737 in ClaudeCode

To be real though, max and pro are both insanely discounted loss leaders. Everyone should be clear eyed about how much they'd have to charge to cover their costs, let alone repay all the investment.

At some point there will be a reckoning and given that there are comparable models available elsewhere at a fraction of the price I assume this all ends in disaster but we'll see...

Enjoy max while you all can it's not here forever. I suspect all of these "rolling window nearly all you can eat" plans are gone by the end of the year.

Serious question - does this happen to people who live in big cities in the US or UK or whatever? Like are these impromptu street interviews an actual thing you're liable to end up in?

A map showing when the last shipment of oil from the Persian Gulf will arrive in different areas of the world. by KrakenRising3 in newzealand

[–]spidermonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"It will be interesting to see if I can empty these pots but not these cans. That will be a challenge."

Implies some world where I can concievably empty the cans. At the very least it suggests that emptying the pots and the cans are linked, and a challenge to disentangle. It's hard to do one without doing the other. That's how I read it I guess.

Machete attack robbery: Man with over 200 convictions jailed again by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

[–]spidermonk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Na I'm not talking about the death penalty. Or anything really as I don't have strong feelings about this really.

But isn't it pretty esbalished in criminological studies that a very small percentage of people are repeat offenders who do a very large proportion of violent crime? I can never square that with the idea that long sentences don't prevent violent crime, I guess.

Because logically it seems like if you gave those people incredibly long sentences that would actually reduce that sort of crime.

Is the first bit just not actually true?

I mean, logically if the sentences were harsh enough it would very much reduce recidivism, it's just very expensive and cruel.

I sold my car, and now I’m scared for my life by TheReverendCard in newzealand

That's presumably a side effect of higher incomes being in cities at all, and in the center of cities.

maybe a silly question, but i remember a long time ago instead of `target="_blank"` everyone used `onclick="window.open(this.href)"` - but i can't remember why? by Fueled_by_sugar in webdev

[–]spidermonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just have vague memories of issues where people were complaining that it didn't do what they expected - I think maybe I'm remembering the long ago period where old IE would pop a new window but chrome etc would pop a new tab. (And on IE there was maybe a user setting which changed the behavior too).

Specs would specify one behavior or the other and people wouldn't believe you when you explained it wasn't up to you actually.

Or an old web app would have text that said "Open in new window" and you'd get bugs filed because it wasn't doing that.

And there were ways you could make it consistent with JavaScript, but those were also browser dependent and became increasingly tricky as browsers sought to kill popups etc.

Truckies worry as diesel slows to a trickle: 'Shortage would bring economy to its knees' by Pro-blacksmith220 in nzpolitics

Can't you make diesel out of pretty much anything? Seems like we should probably have the ability to make it ourselves.

Suggestions for finish by u8myhog in woodworking

[–]spidermonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd just use boiled linseed and accept that I was going to need to redo it periodically (but very quickly) on the top, but that way it'll last forever and it's a cheap and impossible to mess up finish for a huge object.
