Am I using Claude Code correctly?

First time that I have used AI to help with a "real" proof: www.seehuhn.de/blog/maths-w...

It was only today that I learned that "altogether" has only one "l"!

Guess the country!

Happy Easter, everybody!

York Minster x Borg Cube

Random view from York railway station.

Some interesting thoughts in here, in an area where nobody has good answers yet.

Fireworks!!!

Nearly Christmas!

Nice light show in #York museum gardens.

Are these new displays at #York station aimed at deaf people who cannot read? This must be a tiny fraction of all travellers!

I found a sea monster!

About to do some indoors gardening ...

Hull? Venice? What is the difference anyway?

Is March too early for a BBQ?

I really enjoyed the light show at #York minster. In my opinion, it's even better than last year. If you haven't seen it yet: The show is still on, 6-9pm, until 2nd March (repeats every 10 minutes).

During the pandemic, a heron took residence on the University of Leeds campus. I had not seen it in a long time, but today he is back. (Or maybe his friend is. How old does a heron get?) Hello heron 😊

Sometimes, #DeepSeek is overthinking things a bit. I should probably have untoggled the "DeepThink (R1)" button before saying thank you.

For the first time in my life I have reached a "triple ko" in the game of Go: online-go.com/game/71268565 (I think). #baduk #gogame #weiqi

I wonder what the purpose of this ladder is. Maybe it's a stairway to heaven?

I enjoyed reading this blog post by @crawshaw.io . This is very close to my own experiences. crawshaw.io/blog/program...

A happy New year to everybody!

Dramatic skies in #York

#York looking cosy tonight.

Christmas!

@politico.com 49% + 48% + 9% = 100%? I think the maths is somewhat off here! (From halfways down the Politico front page.)

More evidence that Christmas is near.

New water feature in #York. Maybe the flooding somehow causes water to be pushed out from underneath these metal covers? Or is this an unrelated pipe break?

ChatGPT wrote a very nice summary of the short story "Things" by Ursula K. Le Guin for me: chatgpt.com/share/6750a1... . The only downside: the summary has nearly nothing to do with the actual story. A bit like Stanislaw Lem writing reviews of non-existent books.

It's snowing in #York. Christmas must be close, now!

It's Christmas now!

Why are the walls of York minster so plain near the ground and get more and more decorated the higher up you look?

Must have taken forever to get those birds lined up just right!
