    All these "intelligence" benchmarks miss something extremely important when using an LLM in a code-agent harness: How it communicates with you about what it did. Opus-5 is practica…

    I know about these. My question was about Tmux. Also the Claude resume search is not full text, it only matches session names.

    I didn’t quite understand. I use Tmux extensively and have tons of sessions running different panes etc. But how does Tmux solve the session search problem, maybe I’m not aware of …

    what guarantees are these? You mean data retention, use for training etc?

    Interesting take. I should try that !

    Regarding the urge to “check what’s out there”, one simple rule I follow is: spend around an hour in the morning catching up with HN, a few reddits, a couple newsletters, and Blues…

    Love it. Like some others here, I've been making html presentations with code-agents and they come out really nice. Other alternatives for that suit different purposes are these: -…

    I use the Hex[1] app on MacOs for near instant transcription with Parakeet V3. This is how I speak to Code agents at least 80% of the time. The idea is - I tend to be lazy if I nee…

    The other day I was trying to find out exactly how much context size 5.6 has in codex CLI (via subscription) and I didn’t find that documented in any of the obvious places. Sort of…

    In the Reddit post there was clarification that this was done with Sol Pro not Ultra - curious what is everyone’s mental model of the difference. My understanding is that ChatGPT P…

    Nice, it works for discussing concepts baked into the LLM but fails when you want it to read contents of an article or do web search. ChatGPT Live doesn’t have this limitation. The…

    Too much friction in notebookLM - several minutes to make a podcast, and they disappear after a while, and the interrupt feature is super-janky.

    Actually for me it’s more cognitive load when the AI just dumps everything at once, which is why I prefer to have it give me a nugget at a time, so I can take it in, pause and disc…

    When notebookLM was new, it was interesting to listen to the podcasts. Then the novelty wore off, and I wanted something where I can interact with the podcasters but it was janky a…

    I too used to be a skeptic of the whole "agent-swarms" hype. But I do find some patterns useful with ultracode: - parallelism: "if it makes sense, use ultracode to do this thorough…

    I’m curious why many tech bloggers choose Substack, when it’s almost trivial to set up your own blog with infinitely more style control, and math/syntax-highlighting etc.

    My understanding is that in the generated JS code, the subagents are invoked as headless Claude, equivalent to Claude -p, or the agents SDK.
