For a local non-coding agent, instruction following and tool use are the most important gains

The difference makes a lot of sense to me. The phones are watches are primarily sold on annual leases through carriers. And no one is buying them for the chips, it's all camera and form factor. The macs, on the other hand, can more eas

As someone who teaches AI at a university, understanding the basics of how the LLM works is really invaluable to understanding where and how they'll be applied. You're right that it's probably a little too in the weeds, but i

When you give those resources to your coding agent, do you give them URLs? Or work with local versions? I've found a lot of success pointing claude at locally downloaded docs over llms.txt URLs but not sure how to scale the pattern for

What I like about Marimo notebooks over Jupyter: 1. They're just a python file so they work with python editors 2. There's no hidden state 3. I can import from them 4. I'm not accidentally committing base64 encoded image outp

huh, I was doing this but without the feature. This is neat!

I think the trick to using libraries like this is to not go all in on them. Applying these effects to every element would be garish. But for a single like button, an effect slider, or magic search bar? It would be be a lovely touch.

I agree. We're seeing more variants of "RAG" that aren't semantic at all (e.g. coding agents or simple memory systems that feed summary indexes directly into context). I think, over time, it's going to become a SQL

Wow. This is so freaking cool.

I say this with a lot of love: The vibecoded applications in your demo reek of AI slop design. This isn't a critique of your product. It's just that the a beige-orange theme, the pill components, and the left-border highlight give

Oil changes aren't the best example. They're pretty easy to do at home for basically everything and filters are pretty standardized. But car batteries, brake pads, tire pressure sensors are all becoming increasingly software-locke

Eh, it was the exact same system for the Switch 2 and no one I know waited more than a week for theirs. Given it requires a Steam login of a certain age to register, I suspect this is just to limit the scalpers.

This is an insane take. Also wrong, gay marriage had 60% support before Obergefell v. Hodges.

OpenAI API also supports defer_loading https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/tools-tool-sea... And it's not actually necessary for it to exist at the API level. It's a pattern. Making it API

+1 Its crazy that people are still discussing this. It's ancient history. Deferred tool loading, large contexts, and prompt caching have made 2026 completely different from 2025. Also, the "CLI saves token" debate really fall

There was a time, in the early to mid 2010s, when the phrase "Fake News" was almost exclusively used by people in publishing to talk about a very real rise in editorial disruption as news readers shifted from being desktop and hom

I work for an "AI-native" company now and have found this to be the case. EVERYONE (engineers, pms, managers, sales) uses Claude Code to read and write Google Docs (google workspace mcp). Ideas, designs, reports. It's too muc

If that's true, it's very unsustainable. Gemma-4 26B-A4B + M5 MacBook Pro + OpenCode isn't Claude Code _yet_, but it's good enough that if I were forced to use it I would be fine.

I love the batteries included in Helix. Just the right amount that I don't need much else. At this point I just want a decent Helix-Evil-Mode.
