yeah it actually works to use claude to reverse engineer itself; I've used that to workaround some problems. E.g. that's how I discovered that I had to put two slashes for absolute paths in sandbox config. The thing is, the claude team is so quick that soon enough they add more and more features and fix more and more bugs that your workarounds become obsolete

> they add more and more features and fix more and more bugs

My experience has been that they add far more bugs in every release than they fix

1. Yes this configuration applies to the sandbox where the commands executed by Claude are run and as such it applies to anything these commands do, including child processes etc

2. The sandbox rules also apply to the program written by the agent IF you ask Claude to run that program. If you run it manually from another she'll or via the "!" directive from within Claude, the sandbox won't be used

The sandbox only limits what processes spawned by Claude can do. Claude itself can read from any directory you tell it to read from (i.e. that's a different permission mechanism)

Not if the sandbox rule forbids reading the private key and the ssh agent socket (as the shown example does)

The only advantage of terraforming Mars is that if you do it wrong you're not making it worse for anybody that lives there. It could be a good test bench if it wasn't for the elephant in the room: it takes a very long time to terraform a planet

There's also the tiny detail that we are technologically incapable at the moment.

Well, that's why it's a good idea to have a place to try things out, so we can learn.

But of course, doing that is highly impractical for many other reasons.

That's unsurprising given that a lot of our own abilities as humans come from having painstakingly acquired practices and methodologies and tools (like pencil and paper, note taking, let alone algebra, formal methods and electromechanical aids). We call this "education" but it works in a way that is more similar to agentic harnesses than to pretraining or fine-tuning. This is reflected in the fundamental different way in which children and adults learn new skills

The harness would be fine if the agent coded its own harness in a controlled environment while observing the game.

Not sure if the specific rules of this prize allow that, but I would accept that

Also used in Italian and presumably in many other languages.

Like with any word, it's use in colloquial form may vary from generation to generation, from subculture to subculture etc

We burn the spice
