    You can create a PostToolUse hook [0] which will automatically chastise Claude to shrink comments to one line. It's not perfect but better than the sea of prose it tends to generat…

    If you have a ACSM (the file type Adobe Digital Editions uses for DRM) I’ve been using https://www.acsm-converter.com to strip the DRM and return a standard epub

    If using straight npm (v11.10.0 or higher), you can just add to .npmrc in the project root: min-release-age=5

    I tried it on my codebase. There's a lot of overlap with tools like Oxlint / ESLint, I'm not sure that's too valuable vs. a more focused tool that actually focuses solely on 'slop'…

    Nice ideas! I've been using the `?` shortcut in atuin [0] which accomplishes the same sort of thing, but these days also has access to an Agent-like experience which allows me to p…

    Neat! FYI when I tried it out, seems like there's a 60s timeout: [Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 504 (Gateway Time-out) (generate, line 0) My…

    You can strip the DRM fairly easily these days if you have an ACSM file, I vibecoded this the other day after I couldn’t find any online converter that actually worked: https://www…

    I'm having a hard time adjusting to the Project Panel on the right (and, at least for me, hidden by default) - seems like they're trying to bury the concept of a 'file'? It's certa…

    Which plan are you on? I could see that happening with Pro (which I think defaults to Sonnet?), would be surprised with Max…

    Yeah, the lede is buried a bit, these new rate-cards seem to be aligning towards token-based pricing with the prior rates now labeled 'legacy' https://help.openai.com/en/articles/2…

    Cute! Cactus for me. Nice animations too - looks like there were multiple of us asking Claude to reverse engineer the system. I did a slightly deeper dive here if you're interested…

    I've posted here before about Claude Code's easter eggs [1] and they're back with another one this year for April Fools: Tamagotchi-style "buddies" appearing as ASCII art companion…

    Hmm, the Mac app downloaded gemma-3-4b-it-Q4_K_M.gguf for me (on an Apple M4) - maybe the desktop apps download different models? Though, I don't see any references to Gemma at all…

    Unfortunate, significant price increase for a 'lite' model: $0.25 IN / $1.50 OUT vs. Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite $0.10 IN / $0.40 OUT.

    Did gemini-2.5-flash-image get an upgrade as well? I just got the following, which is fascinating, and not something I've seen before: > I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill your reques…

    This is essentially a (vibe-coded?) wrapper around PaddleOCR: https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR The "guts" are here: https://github.com/majcheradam/ocrbase/blob/7706ef79493…

    That’s weird, pnpm no longer automatically runs lifecycle scripts like preinstall [1], so unless they were running a very old version of pnpm, shouldn’t they have been protected fr…

    Anthropic is encouraging the "have the model write a script" technique as well, buried in their latest announcement on Claude Agent SDK, this stuck with me: > The Claude Agent SDK …
