    Fun article, but this didn't actually answer the "why" question for me...

    Or be like me and just mulch the clippings (yes it looks uglier that way - and yes I think of mowing the lawn as a chore)

    So wordy.

    The article's EEG images don't seem to suggest this is due to two brain hemispheres.

    Yup, and I had seen it in the Opus 4.5 soul document as well: https://gist.github.com/Richard-Weiss/efe157692991535403bd7e... In the future, I expect different models from differen…

    And the fact that this article’s story is basically “I prompted Fable with a goal and went to sleep and the model got it done” is telling me that the latest models have gotten past…

    Yeah I enjoyed the first bit, then “the one exception” made me go “hey, Claude does this to me all the time” and then it ruined the article for me.

    To be fair, I saw that, I saw the “skip” link, and thought “that’s ok, I’ll just scroll down” on my phone. It took SO many scrolls to get to the point. So the frustration is justif…

    That was fun, and the script on github looks hand-written which is refreshing after having been reading AI-written code for months. I have 120k photos in iCloud that I'm sure have …

    I see this post is from 2024. Maybe I would have enjoyed the hook and enjoyed reading along to figure out what this "harajuku moment" was back in 2024. But since being exposed to A…

    Oh then that's like the battery swap idea but without the swapping!

    This is how I used to solve the roomba-can’t-use-stairs problem. I’ve now moved to a single floor. Problem solved!

    Agreed, I used to think this but now enjoy taking quick selfies, and my phone will dig them up and remind me of fond memories later on. GP conflates selfies with posed photos.

    Sometimes when I'm in the CLI and don't have a code editor open, I do this. Yes, it's lazy. But I also trust the model to check and update related things (tests, etc., while applyi…

    Thank you, my eyes glazed over when I saw the article was written with AI.

    I'm user 7xx,xxx but I also believe I created a Github account while working on Rails projects (basically copying Ryan Bates and assembling things together. haha good times)

    I’m not sure that it’s O(N) with caching but this illustrates the N^2 part: https://blog.exe.dev/expensively-quadratic

    Adding a tangential anecdote. I asked GPT-5.4 High to draw up an architecture diagram in SVG and left it running. It took over an hour to generate something and had some spacing wr…

    Interesting and amazing presentation. I also liked that it didn't explicitly say how it decides when to play a note. All the subway routes are normalized to 15 seconds long from be…

    Isn’t it the opposite?

    I have a pet theory that the uptick in normal cybersecurity PRs you mention as a trend in your blog were done with Claude Code’s stealth mode and Mythos.

    Aside from FDIC’s insurance, nothing. And if banks get hacked and money gets wired out - maybe we’ll come up with ways to roll back the damage. Who knows - this is new territory.

    What kind of code do you work on, and what model & harness do you use? Genuinely curious so I can calibrate my understanding. I work on enterprise web apps for a few dozen people w…

    Ooooh very interesting idea. I also have nothing to back it up, but it fits my mental models. When juggling multiple things as humans, it eats up your context window (working memor…
