Yesterday was kicking the tires on https://helixnotes.com/ , a Tauri app. It's really slick and performance is really good. Loads fast, opens quick, etc. So, I see that as evidence that Tauri is really solid.

Whoa. This looks both powerful and expensive. My prediction is that, this time next year, top developers outside ai labs will be spending 50k USD+ on inference. Within labs, I've heard spend is already far beyond this per developer.

I use AI to write documentation frequently. An AI agent, 600k tokens into a feature that it just authored, understands the feature as well or better than I do. It can document, compactly, what the code actually does, as well as the intent.

From your experience, is it comparable to Claude Code with Opus 4.8? How does it feel? How do the two differ?

This is what AI consolidation really looks like. It's not an AI hacking into another AI's datacenter and shutting off the training. It's a slow concentration and slow alignment of power along one-party, national lines.

Nice! The world can always use a better data format. I think you might get some traction if you post the advantages over parquet and other files directly on the readme, so that if someone goes to https://github.com/future-fi

I've been thinking about how this will play out. I think there's a Lindy Effect. The longer the ban remains in place, the longer it's likely to remain in place.

I wish Linear would participate in FedRAMP. It's blocking adoption at my company.

Atherton has a *beautiful* public library adjacent to a defunct Caltrain station. It's great for kids and has a really nice cafe, ideal for VC meetings and networking.

Has anyone switched from Claude 4.7 Opus or ChatGPT 5.5 to this? How does it feel? Dumber? Worth it for the speed? I'd love someone's subjective take on it, after doing a long session of coding. Reiner Pope gave a talk on Dwarkes

This is fun. Artsy, poignant, narrative. It reminds me of the fun internet, like in 2001.

Is anyone else noticing that the benchmarks for Claude 4.7 don't specify the token window? Cursor, and LiteLLM at my company, limit the token window to 200k. It feels like to me like 4.7 is not better, and is maybe worse than 4.6 when

I really appreciate the author for writing this. I learned years ago that I when I write code after 10 PM, I'm go backward instead of forward. It was easy to see, because the test just wouldn't pass, or I'd introduce several

I'm excited to see these improvements but, none of them are enough to make up for inconvenience of having to start a new conversation (/clear) after every task. I've been using Gemini Code. The larger context window is big en
