I actually have a good use case for this. For my project, I run a lot of Codex sessions in parallel (via Codex SDK[0]), because they are solving self-contained tasks (building crawlers for websites) and in theory I could scale it to hundreds or thousands of parallel sessions. But my VPS can handle maybe 10 parallel sessions max.
Interesting. I actually prefer when agents don't commit on my behalf unless I explicitly say so, I even had to add a custom instruction for Claude to stop doing it (Codex never does it). Even if I don't read all the code line-by-line, I at least want to see the changes at glance and commit myself. Git Fork[0] is a great tool for that, by the way.
In general, I don't like when I have to prompt models to NOT do something. It's probably difficult for the AI companies to get this right, they should understand ambiguity but still not over-do simple instructions.
In some countries, it is illegal to make unsolicited calls to a number that is on an official "do not call" list.
Any number on that list is effectively a honeypot. I guess you could even distribute an app that automates the whole process: put your number on the list, log incoming calls, aggregate the data and report them in batches large enough to catch the government's attention.
I live in Prague and seeing the temperatures expected during weekend, I bought at least the portable AC. I'd say 2-4 weeks is quite a long period to justify this purchase.
Yes, historically, the AC didn't make sense in Prague, but there's no going back, the world is just going to get hotter.
portable AC is extremely inefficient and noisy + you need hole in the window, otherwise you will be letting tons of heat back through the gap if you keep window ajar even with insulation
The two I like close at 5pm. I live in a rural-ish area. I don't really take time off, I just start working earlier and finish earlier that day. But still, in Spain, even the store in the tiniest town opens at least until 8-9
European night trains search engine. The plan is not to provide the functionality where user searches for a specific route on a specific date and the engine returns prices. The plan is to provide "tips for trips", e.g. I provide a starting city and it will recommend me interesting trip ideas any time in the future. There are many flight apps that provide this functionality, but no train app.
Currently I'm building scrapers for all relevant provider, then I want to connect the data for multi-city trips recommendation. Plus some connection to the day trains so that the trips are built more easily.
Now you if you wanted to visit the best city in the world (Edinburgh), you could of course take the Caledonian Sleeper night train from London up to the Scottish capital; but then you would completely miss out on the beautiful views of the country and the sea.
This case perhaps merits a hard-wired message "for this trip, we recommend a day train, or we'd regret you'd miss the panoramic views".
For some reason Prague -> Bratislava trips are only shown with departures at 00:36 even though there are several through cars that leave Prague at 21:58 (and join the rest of the listed NightJet in Breclav), which is much more comfortable for your average traveler. Ceske drahy website has both connections, so maybe you aren't scraping it yet?
I have a working version of Trenitalia scraper (Intercity Notte trains across Italy), I just haven't added the routes to UI before verifying it works reliably. Hopefully I'll add it in the evening.
Also the Milan - Brusells route from European Sleeper, it's scraped but not yet in UI. I'll reply here when it's done.
Thank you for building this! I might be holding it wrong, but I would like to be able to search for all night trains from a particular origin. Is that possible?
I plan to add a subpage for every relevant city with recommended routes once I'll have enough data. Something like https://www.seat61.com/ but with actual prices and dates.
It's definitely similar, but the philosophy seems different. NightRide supports exactly the use case on searching a route on a specific date. I also noticed that if they don't have the price pre-scraped, a scrape is called dynamically on user's request.
My idea is to pre-scrape the prices and answer questions such as: wanna go to Amsterdam for a weekend? -> here are the best dates and prices.
Yeah, the focus is mostly on night trains, although some day combinations leak to the data, so it's possible you'll find some combinations for daily trains.
Of course, I'd like to have the daily trains in the data, but that would drastically increase the number of combinations and require some more scaling of the scraping, which I don't want to do at this point. Focusing on night trains only is a nice niche.
I plan to add at least some daily trains between core cities, e.g. the EuroStar London <-> Paris route, which would make multi-leg search to farther cities easier (i.e. combination of night train + daily train).
530 eur for return train from Prague to Frankfurt? I guess the reason why there aren't any train apps is that traveling by train seems useless at these prices... :(
That's the Prague - Zurich NightJet that's hellishly expensive, possibly because the target audience are Swiss people for whom it's not so much :D Also, NightJet does not price very dynamically as opposed to other providers, and their baseline price is always quite high.
But yes, in most cases this journey will be more expensive that an alternative flight, which is a shame. However, there are routes where it's comparable, e.g. the Prague - Amsterdam route.
For me personally, I have the basic Claude Code subscription that I use to rewind on some evenings or on weekend, to code a bit for 1-2 hours. I have like 3-5 session with it every week.
The 5h windows are frustrating because I can go through them quickly if I have a more complex task. I haven't yet met the weekly limit. I'd say there are many cases similar to mine.
> If the man holding the flag had been wearing a thawb instead of a suit, or if the statue had been of a woman, I think the establishment's response would be quite different.
That's argumentum ad speculum[0]. You can speculate what the response would be if the statue was different in a way you imagine, but the thing is, it's not.
It's a work in progress and southern Europe is not covered well, Spain is not covered at all. I focuses on Eastern and Central Europe because that's where I'm from, I'll try to add Spain next :)
Btw, the crawlers are for classical music websites, the project is https://classicalbot.com/ .
