    The Gowanus Canal: A 1.8-Mile Monument to Filth

Generated with Claude Code + Opus 4.6
The "Black Mayonnaise"

The star of the show is the canal's infamous bottom sediment, affectionately known as "black mayonnaise" — a thick, oily sludge that is in some places up to 20 feet deep. It's a lethal cocktail of:

Coal tar from old manufactured gas plants
Heavy metals: mercury, lead, copper, arsenic, chromium

    Playwright MCP in Docker (ARM64)

Problem

The Playwright MCP server (@playwright/mcp) defaults to Chrome (channel: "chrome"), expecting it at /opt/google/chrome/chrome. Chrome has no ARM64 Linux binaries, so it fails immediately. The browser_install MCP tool also fails on ARM64.
Claude Code ignores args and env fields in ~/.claude/mcp.json for the playwright MCP server — it always launches npm exec @playwright/mcp@latest with no arguments and no custom env vars. So --browser firefox, env vars like PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_BROWSER, and custom command wrapper scripts all have no effect.
Fix

    How Modern CAPTCHAs Actually Work: A Deep Dive

The Big Picture

Your intuition is correct: all three systems fundamentally collect a mass of signals, send them to black-box server-side ML models, and get back a probabilistic score. None of them have a clean deterministic "if X then bot" rule. It's all heuristics and probability. But the depth of what they collect is staggering.
