Claude Code 可以成为你的第二大脑

Noah Brier might have the coolest Claw code setup I've ever seen. Noah Brier 的 Claude Code 配置可能是我见过最酷的。 He rigged a home server in his basement, put his Obsidian vault in it, and then runs Claude code on top so he can think, research, write, and even ship code right from his phone. 他在地下室搭了一台家庭服务器，把 Obsidian vault 放在上面，然后跑 Claude Code，这样他就能直接用手机思考、研究、写作，甚至发布代码。 Today, he shows us how he uses Claude Code as a true second brain, a thinking partner that asks him sharp questions, pulls research from his whole note archive and the web, and even keeps a running log of what he's learned and what his best ideas are. 今天，他来展示如何把 Claude Code 用作真正的第二大脑，一个能提出犀利问题、从他整个笔记库和网络拉取研究资料的思考伙伴，还会持续记录他的学习进展和最佳想法。 And he walks us through his whole stack and his whole [music] workflow. 他会带我们走一遍他整套技术栈和 [音乐] 工作流。 If you want to learn how to use claude code as a true second brain, this is the episode to watch. 如果你想学怎么把 Claude Code 用作真正的第二大脑，这期就是你要看的。 Let's dive in. 开始吧。 [music] [音乐] Noah, welcome to the show. Noah，欢迎来到节目。 Thanks for having me. 感谢邀请。 I'm excited to have you. 很高兴能跟你聊。 Uh it's really good to uh get to chat. 真的很开心能跟你聊上。 This is our first interview in probably like 5 years. 我们上次聊应该有五年了。 You were one of the for people who don't know uh you were one of the first uh super organizers interviewees. 对于不了解的朋友，你是 super organizers 最早的受访嘉宾之一。 That was the newsletter that turned into every and um I I love the way that your brain works. 那个 newsletter 后来发展成了 Every，我一直很喜欢你的思维方式。 Uh you have this like uh really interesting taste for tools for thought and back in the day you were using Evernote in all these really interesting ways. 你对思维工具有一种很有意思的品味，以前你用 Evernote 的方式就很独特。 Um you were uh the co-founder of a really cool startup uh called Percolate. 你联合创办了一家很酷的创业公司叫 Percolate。 Uh, and then another one called Variance and now you're running Alfik, which is an AI strategy consultancy. 然后又有一家叫 Variance，现在你在运营 Alephic，一家 AI 战略咨询公司。 And um I'm just really excited to see how your um mind has uh started to use these AI tools now that now that they're uh now that they're, you know, working so well. 我真的很期待看看你的思维方式在这些 AI 工具越来越好用的今天是怎么运转的。 And I know you have some pretty cool Claude code stuff to show us. 而且我知道你有一些很酷的 Claude Code 的东西要展示给我们。 So yeah, thanks for coming on. 所以非常感谢你来。 Thanks for having me. 感谢邀请。 Yeah, I'm super excited. 是的，我很兴奋。 That was a a fun interview all those years back. 那次采访很有意思，虽然是很多年前的事了。 It was it was really really fun. 真的，那次很好玩。 Um, so I want to just like dive right into the the like the thing that I think is so cool about what you're doing. 我想直接切入我觉得你正在做的最酷的事情。 So I know you have a whole like vibe coding setup that you built for yourself. 我知道你给自己搭了一套 vibe coding 环境。 Can you talk us through that? 能跟我们讲讲吗？ Yeah, I wouldn't uh I'm not sure about actually the vibe coding part of it. 嗯，我对 vibe coding 这个说法其实不太确定。 Um uh I have a a sort of fairly heavy duty clawed code setup. 我有一套相当重度的 Claude Code 配置。 Um but actually uh mostly not for code. 但其实主要不是用来写代码的。 Um so uh since those days of uh super organizers like many people um uh I've abandoned Evernote um and uh switched over to Obsidian. 从 super organizers 那段时间到现在，跟很多人一样，我已经放弃 Evernote 转用 Obsidian 了。 And one of the big advantages with Obsidian as a note-taking platform is that it's a bunch of markdown files and a bunch of folders. Obsidian 作为笔记平台一个很大的优势是，它本质上就是一堆 markdown 文件和文件夹。 um and uh they can then be synced with git and you can do lots of other fun kinds of things. 可以用 git 同步，还能做很多其他有趣的事情。 And so actually probably my number one claude code use is using it as a tool to interact with my notes. 所以我用 Claude Code 最多的场景其实是用它来跟我的笔记交互。 Um and so that uh I've got a fairly serious cloud code setup that I use with Obsidian. 我有一套相当完善的 Claude Code 配置用于 Obsidian。 And um my most recent obsession um has been uh standing up a server in my house so that I could also use claude code on my phone. 最近我最痴迷的事情是在家里搭一台服务器，这样我也能在手机上用 Claude Code。 This is incredible. 这太厉害了。 I want to I want to go through all of this. 我想逐一了解这些。 So um where should we start? 我们从哪开始？ Should we do should we do how you use cloud code as sort of this like research assistant notes organizer notetaker thing or should we start with uh how you use it on your phone? 是先聊你怎么把 Claude Code 用作研究助手、笔记整理工具这个部分，还是先聊你怎么在手机上用？ Um, we can use it. 都行。 We can start uh with just the sort of general part of it. 可以从大体框架说起。 That that might be the sort of easiest. 那可能是最容易入手的。 The phone is really just an extension of that same thing. 手机那部分其实只是同一套东西的延伸。 I um I would say sort of generally, and this is something I feel like not enough people talk about with AI is like one of the things I find really extraordinary about it is the ability for me to um work really productively on my phone. 我总体来说，这也是我觉得讨论 AI 时大家说得不够多的一点，就是它让我能在手机上高效工作，这我觉得真的很了不起。 And that's been like a huge huge change because so much of what I do is sort of writing or coding and the phone is definitely not the best place for that. 这是个巨大的改变，因为我做的很多事情是写作或编码，而手机肯定不是做这些最好的地方。 And you know even the phone wasn't always the best place for doing research and thinking um I felt like my computer was a better place for it which is why I've been such a sort of notetaker. 甚至做研究和思考，手机以前也不是最好的选择，我一直觉得电脑更合适，这就是为什么我一直很重视做笔记。 And um you know I have found whether it's like claude code and obsidian or um I mean even claude code and code right. 不管是 Claude Code 配合 Obsidian，还是 Claude Code 配合代码本身。 So, like the other piece of it is being able to then, you know, if you see something go wrong, being able to sign in on your phone and have Claude Code push a small update to something because you just realize it while you're out is amazing. 比如，如果你发现什么问题，能直接掏出手机登录，让 Claude Code 推一个小更新，因为你出门在外时突然想到了，这种体验真的很棒。 But then even like uh um you know, I use quite a bit of uh uh Grock voice mode and you know, I find that that as a sort of like alternative way of working through problems. 而且我还用了不少 Grok 语音模式，我发现那是一种很不错的解决问题的方式。 I have a Tesla so now it's baked into the Tesla. 我有一辆 Tesla，现在 Grok 已经内置在 Tesla 里了。 Um and uh you know it's just I and you know obviously all the sort of other Chad GBT and Claude and all these things of just being able to sort of like go and do research and really think and and explore things in this device that's always been useful but like not useful for deep work. 不管是 ChatGPT、Claude 还是其他各种工具，能在这台一直以来有用但不适合深度工作的设备上做研究、思考和探索，这种感觉真的不一样了。 I think is probably um something most people would agree with is that the phone has not [laughter] been the best place to kind of do deep coding and research work. 我想大多数人都会认同，手机一直不是做深度编码和研究工作的好地方。 And I feel like it it it's really changed my ability to do that. 但我感觉它真的改变了我做这些事的能力。 Wait, I got to stop you. 等等，我得打断你一下。 So, you're using Grock voice mode and and is that specifically because it's built into your Tesla or using it um in situations where you could also use, for example, CHBT voice mode? 你在用 Grok 语音模式，是专门因为它内置在 Tesla 里，还是在其他场景下你也会用它而不是 ChatGPT 语音模式？ No, I'm using it because it's way better than any of the other voice modes. 不，我用它是因为它比其他所有语音模式都好太多了。 And I will fight anybody who says anything different. 谁要说不一样我跟他争。 Okay. 好吧。 No, tell me like what is what do you like about it? 说说具体是哪里好？ Why is it better? 为什么它更好？ I to be fair um uh 说实话， OpenAI launched their real-time API which may or may not be baked into chat GBT voice. OpenAI 发布了他们的实时 API，可能已经集成进 ChatGPT 语音，也可能没有。 Now I it's not totally clear but the old voice mode was based on 40 and I just found it to be completely unusable. 目前不太清楚，但旧的语音模式是基于 GPT-4o 的，我觉得完全没法用。 Um and uh uh Gemini's voice mode I just didn't find to be smart enough. Gemini 的语音模式我感觉不够智能。 Um and I just found Grock's voice mode to be significantly smarter than anybody else's. 我就觉得 Grok 的语音模式比其他所有的都聪明得多。 Um, you know, I'm using Grock 2, three, four. 我在用 Grok 2、3、4。 I don't even remember what whatever the latest 我都不记得最新版是哪个了。 the latest one. 最新版。 Yeah. 对。 Yeah. 对。 But not the super I don't have the most expensive account. 但我不是最贵的账户。 Super heavy or whatever. Super Heavy 那种吧。 I don't have super heavy. 我没有 Super Heavy。 Um, but I just find it to be much better. 但我就觉得它好很多。 It does tool calling way better than any of the other ones. 它的工具调用比其他任何语音模型都好。 That's that's I found to be a major weakness of the voice models is that they don't do great tool calling and research. 这也是我觉得语音模型的一大弱点，工具调用和研究做得不好。 And um uh Gro seems to have solved that. Grok 好像解决了这个问题。 So, no, even before it was loaded in my Tesla, um I dropped my daughter off at summer camp this summer up in New Hampshire. 所以，在 Tesla 内置之前，我送女儿去新罕布什尔的夏令营。 So, I had a 5-hour drive on my own, and I spent like 2 hours researching and essentially like working through a piece. 单程五小时，我大概用了两小时做研究，基本上是在梳理一篇文章的思路。 Um, and I did it by just like connecting it to Bluetooth and just sort of sitting there in the car. 就连上蓝牙，坐在车里就这么干。 And, um, I found it to be by far the uh the best of the voice modes. 我觉得那是目前最好的语音模式，没有之一。 I I hope these other models catch up there cuz I would I would love more really good voice modes. 我希望其他模型能跟上，因为我真的很想看到更多好用的语音模式。 I mean, I had a mind-blowing session this weekend and uh I'm giving a talk and I'm sort of have some ideas. 就是上个周末，我有过一次很震撼的会话，我在准备一个演讲，有些想法在脑子里。 I think it's generally going to be about Transformers eating the world and um so I was sort of catching myself up on self attention and exactly how it works. 大概会讲 Transformers 吃掉世界这个话题，所以我在给自己补课，关于自注意力机制以及它到底怎么运作的。 And um I did like an hour session and it really I I it like was by far the sort of best explanation I've ever read for it and or ever heard I guess. 我做了大概一个小时的会话，真的是我有史以来读过或者听过的最好的解释。 And so yeah, I' I've just found it to be a kind of pretty extraordinary product. 所以，我觉得它真的是一个相当了不起的产品。 I do love voice mode for that. 我也很喜欢语音模式干这个。 Um it's sort of like it's the it's a podcast made specifically for you about whatever you're curious about and that's really cool. 有点像是一个专门为你制作的 podcast，讲的就是你好奇的任何东西，这很酷。 I went up to I 我上周末开车去郊外， I drove up state this weekend and I've been reading um I've been reading the Iliad and so I had it on audiobook and then I had some questions as I was driving and so I unfortunately use CHBT voice mode because I didn't know about Grock so I wish that uh Grock's voice mode so I wish that uh we had had this conversation before then but the thing about chbt voice mode is yeah 我一直在看《伊利亚特》，当时开着有声书，路上有些问题想探讨，然后我用了 ChatGPT 语音模式，因为那时候还不知道 Grok，真希望我们早点聊了这个。但 ChatGPT 语音模式嘛， I think when it first came out it was cool but it just hasn't gotten as smart as the models are are 它刚出来的时候还挺酷的，但就是没有跟上模型本身的智能水平。 And they they gave it this new personality that I had to get used to where every time you ask it a question it's go it goes like 而且他们给它加了一种新人设，我得适应一下，每次你问它问题它就会 oh yeah uhhuh 哦耶，嗯嗯 well you know and it's like it's just this like weird Gen Z thing that it feels like it's has a little bit too much onwe or something like doesn't actually care about you. 就这种感觉，有点像 Gen Z 那种，感觉有点太多 "on we" 什么的，好像并不是真的在乎你。 I don't know what that is. 我也说不清是什么。 So I had to get used to that. 反正我适应了一下。 Rock has a stoner mode for what it's worth. Grok 有个 stoner 模式，仅供参考。 [laughter] [笑声] Yeah. 对。
