I was surprised to see my Homebrew consider my macOS a Tier 2 for using the very latest macOS version and Xcode version… But I think it's because I don't have Xcode 27.0, which is presumably releasing tomorrow?

It would seem like GitHub is in a precarious situation. We have many agents per employee working in parallel pushing way more commits than was humanly possible before AI, triggering GitHub actions a lot more than the workflows were built fo

Fun data sheet! I was curious about most steps per part and it seems to be TROTTEN[1] at 1.07 steps per part (excluding some other products like a toilet brush with 1 part but the steps are actually for a separate add-on to attach it to the

Yeah the UX doesn't seem great, though I do think in general the AskQuestion tool is very awkward when it gets used in a very long running process (I personally use Claude to run repetitive tests to slowly iterate on a problem and veri

So much attribution to malintent here, but most likely they're trying to build a product with the features that they themselves would use, and from my own experience it's very frustrating to leave a Claude session running and come

The biggest performance bomb you can have in your code is a loop that does something like for (...) { el.style.height = `${something}px`; whatever.value = el.style.offsetHeight; } This forces the browser to reca

I think I can see how dynamic data types make sense (eg flat key/value store), but my question would be: What is least surprising? That INTEGER implicity accepts 'hello world' without error, or that you can't insert such

I tried running this for some market research for my startup and it did a pretty nice job. It didn't necessarily find any obscure data, and it seemed to rely on older data than what I could find myself. On top of this, it had the same

JWTs are fine, seems a bit sensationalist title... Some nice topics to talk about instead: - When to use an encrypted value (and symmetric or asymmetric), vs. a random (but secret) value, vs. a signed value (readable but not tamperable) - W

In short, it lets you switch between all your Claude accounts seamlessly and will automatically pick the one with the most usage left. I've been using the c, cw, and cr shortcuts for a long time but today I wished to switch to another

If this shows itself to be highly useful as a concept, then I would perhaps avoid reinventing the wheel on the file format side of things, and just standardize what we already have: - Come up with a file extension (.hmml) - Decide on an ent

I always find the minimizing view of consciousness a bit uninspiring. Like we need to be unique. I've yet to find a reason why it couldn't be the opposite, way more things are conscious than we've been led to believe. What if

Yeah this can go many ways but there's a world where OpenAI doesn't sell direct model access for the same reasons Cloudflare doesn't sell direct hardware access.

I started getting into webdev using PHP almost 30 years ago. So I'm probably biased. But when you're developing on just one machine in one language and you can do most of the stuff you need to do within that one system, you can ma

Releases keep shifting from API forward to product forward, with API now lagging behind proprietary product surface and special partnerships. I'd not be surprised if this is the year where some models simply stop being available as a p

Isn't it pretty common for the smaller models to release a little while after the bigger ones, for all the big model providers?

I made this offline pocket vibe coder using Gemma 4 (works offline once model is downloaded) on an iPhone. It can technically run the 4B model but it will default to 2B because of memory constraints. https://github.com/blixt

Since AI became capable of long-running sessions with tool calls, one VM per AI as a service became very lucrative. But I do think a large amount of these can indeed run in the browser, especially all the ones that essentially just want to

I’ve been building on an opinionated provider-agnostic library in Go[1] for a year now and it’s nice to see standardization around the format given how much variety there is between the providers. Hopefully it won’t just be the OpenAI logo

I've gotten to a point where my workflow YAML files are mostly `mise` tool calls (because it handles versioning of all tooling and has cache support) and webhooks, and still it is a pain. Also their concurrency and matrix strategies ar

If the immediate next token probabilities are flat, that would mean the LLM is not able to predict the next token with any certainty. This might happen if an LLM is thrown off by out of distribution data, though I haven't personally se

Yeah I’ve found that the only way to let AI build any larger amount of useful code and data for a user that does not review all of it requires a lot of “gutter rails”. Not just adding more prompting, because it is an after-the-fact solution

Extrapolating and wildly guessing, we could end up with using all that mostly idle CPU/RAM (the non-VRAM) on the beefy GPUs doing inference on agentic loops where the AI runs small JS scripts in a sandbox (which Bun is the best at, wit
