I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

Not gonna lie, I find this difficult to read... (strange rendering issues for Claude Code inside VS Code)

So is Claude's new buddy thing a random pet or a personality profile of the user? "No snark but also no patience" is probably a fair assessment of my interactions with Claude! I'm guessing released since letting their source code into the wild must have accelerated a few decisions!

This is such a beautiful little idea. Wonderful!

It's one of the new phrases of the age, isn't it? (working with coding agents)

There's some great terminology in deep learning. I will never again make a wild-ass guess. From now on, I only make high-variance Monte Carlo estimates.

Hey @anthropic.com please don't do a Microsoft and make it impossible to figure out how to just login. I just want to try out your voice mode in Claude Code. I've tried all the Anthropic options via /login. Do you have a third hidden option? Is claude.ai considered a third party service?

This is something I feel deserves more mindshare - AI is good with code, but that can mean using just a language and its standard library, adding a library, using an SDK, a DSL, an API call, etc.

maybe my favorite all time correlation

[email protected] was on The Joe Reis podcast to discuss the evolving landscape of business intelligence and data engineering. They explore why the industry keeps "rediscovering" old concepts like the semantic layer and how the rise of AI agents is forcing us to rethink how we structure data.

This is super interesting. Go is a lovely language to work with, and compiled binaries offer a very nice experience to what we so often experience in Python land!

I love the smell of burning tokens in the morning. (This is the new motto of everyone leaning into agentic coding)

Nice first test run of Beads (github.com/steveyegge/b...) from @steve-yegge.bsky.social. A new tool slotting smoothly into an existing project is nice. It really jibes with my way of thinking to have the coding agent use a real-but-lightweight issue tracker. Good summary from Claude on completion.

I do love a good data vis labour of love

“Sometimes the best reward isn't money. It's watching the giants scramble to copy your stupid SQL feature." - Hannes Mühleisen, DuckDB In the updated episode, we discussed: → Why they worked in secret for a year → Why 99% of analytics workloads don't need distributed systems datatalks.rilldata.com

Liked this post by Ahmad El-Alfy (via HNews thread) on URLs as state containers. Often neglected in app design but compelling to end users. Not so easy to get right since not all state should be in URL, and weirdness can happen with permissions. Always worth it though. alfy.blog/2025/10/31/y...

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

Enjoying messing around with Claude Code! It does say "you're absolutely right" a lot, though. Pretty sure I'd have been done with my little weekend project by now if I was "absolutely right" with every idea and prompt...

"You're absolutely right on all counts." Oh LLM sycophants, I may talk like it (it's a professional hazard in tech), but it really isn't true.

A bit inspired by @simonwillison.net 's stream of vibe-coded "low stakes" tools, was pleased with Claude's take on explaining composition effects. The ratio of a subset of unique counts to the total unique count falls the longer the time window. Which still boggles my mind. How can 7 x 29 = 6?!

@dazzle.fm's internal topic heatmap for Bluesky is now available to the public dazzle.fm/stats Seeing surges of discussion around a topic and working backwards to figure out what caused the spike is a fun past time The 1am science spike is still a mystery though

That's one helluva landing page!

Work has had me in JS world for years and recently Go. I’ll still fire up the occasional Python notebook to try out a technique or perform a quick task. Tried uv recently when I got a new machine, and was gearing up to review my Python setup. It’s sooooo much better. Good infra. Recommended.

I'm a massive Golden Girls fan, so I can think of no better leadership for my Adeptus Sororitas. I've been working through this concept for YEARS and I'm excited to finally have it accomplished. Shout out to @bssterrain for the amazing head sculpts. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #goldengirls

Had my first Zoom call of the year today - audio problems made me grateful I wasn't the main speaker! The culprit was app memory bloat. Since I don't have a 192GB Mac that won't be the real consumption by Acrobat, the memory thief could be something else altogether. But that caught my eye!

“the fintech grew organically, acquiring a similar business with thousands of customers” It’s a valid strategy - but that is called “growth by acquisition”, usually seen as the opposite of growing organically.

An interesting way to help people visualize what a ruin used to be.
