Yes. I have Claude route to codex all the time as part of a dev process where fable is manager and it oversees the work of sidekicks and subagents. It’s happy to comply.

Sorry - the older group has higher rates of dementia than the younger group when they reach the same age - so when they reach 75, they're more likely to have dementia.

I believe that there are studies that show that merely getting very sick increases your chance of dementia - essentially it ages you faster or brings chronic disease forward. If th…

If you haven't seen the chart from the UK study, I highly recommend checking it out: https://erictopol.substack.com/p/the-shingles-vaccine-and-re... When the vaccine came out in th…

People who are immune compromised qualify for this. I'm not sure how much your insurance company would push back on that though.

This really isn't the case in the Shingles vaccine unless the UK study is flawed a way that isn't clear to me. The study looked at the effect of being eligible for a vaccine and th…

Computer use is a great idea. It gets the job done when nothing else will. If you're a person trying to get their job done at a big company, but half your job is in 1-2 proprietary…

For anyone trying to figure out how to build a society where no one wants to be a criminal, I highly recommend When Brute Force Fails: How to Have Less Crime and Less Punishment by…

Curious how you tested this - did you do repeated home tests to figure this out?

I think it does. Crops pull up a set amount of water. If it's concentrated, then they'll pull up a lot of heavy metals. If it's at very low levels, then they won't.

Is there an alternative? We live in a much, much cleaner world than we did 50 years ago. Legislation and environmental rules have worked. There are some areas where it could obviou…

Then we should work together as a society to fix the law and make sure it's applied evenly. Hard to do, but necessary. Is there an alternative?

This is written for the 3 models (Sonnet, Haiku, Opus 3). While some lessons will be relevant today, others will not be useful or necessary on smarter, RL’d models like Sonnet 4.5.…

Ooo - good question. I'm unsure on this one.

This enables the /resume command that lets you start mid-conversation again. Storing the data is not the same as stealing. It's helpful for many use cases. I suppose they should ha…

Resume is now a drop down menu at the top in the new VS Code plugin and it's much easier to read.

> New native VS Code extension Looks great, but it's kind of buggy: - I can't figure out how to toggle thinking - Have to click in the text box to write, not just anywhere in the C…

I was burned by this for a while because I assumed structured output ordering would be preserved. You can specify ordering in the Gemini API with propertyOrdering: "propertyOrderin…

Even farther off topic, but this reminds me of the time my friends and I recorded a 3 minute long wav file that ended with a quiet “this is god. Can you hear me? I’d like to talk w…

You don't say that - you instruct the LLM to read files about X, Y, and Z. Putting the context in helps the agent plan better (next step) and write correct code (final step). If yo…

Warning: A natural response to this is to instruct Claude not to do this in the CLAUDE.md file, but you’re then polluting the context and distracting it from its primary job. If yo…

I'll note this saves a lot of wait time as well! No sitting there while a new Claude builds context from scratch.
