This stuff has gotten incredibly uninteresting and uninspiring, now that claude is listed as "co-author" of each of them.

Good job on burning tokens and using a webservice you do not own.

It has <keyword A> and <keyword B>. Amazing. Series A when?

Hell, even the start menu icon in that screenshot is essentially claude.

My first impression was also that such a huge project was too good to be true (especially that it is supposed to replace Ubuntu) if it was written from scratch. And then also noticed that it was AI assisted. Didn't run it and don't know how much of this was done by the author himself. Also I don't understand what is this "third state".
Fair skepticism, here's the honest split: it's a 5-person lab plus Claude Code pair-programming.
the icon is an eight-pointed star, the Sumerian dingir glyph. Predates Claude by about 5,000 years, just saying .

Why the hate? We are 5P team working since 2 years now using Claude to help us ship whats the big deal?

> Binary computers have two states: on and off. Every value, every decision, every process is either 1 or 0.

I’m not sure what this means. Computers are based on binary, but not everything is a single bit. Even if you wanted to use a ternary base the digit values would be 0, 1, and 2, not -1,0,1.

If anything this project is a testament to Claude’s ability to generate anything meaningful from the non-sensical requirements.

Also, you should probably want to remove the “hand-coded” claim.
