I’m out here touching grass like God intended. G.R. does not find that an acceptable reason. She’s called the police.

One more sleep until 5.6

Fable is just absolutely bonkers. Glad I kept that claude sub for those dark months.

Would be interesting to see Fable evals at the different thinking levels. Would the lowest thinking outperform Opus 4.8 on max?

I'm running codex xhigh, on a stop hook I'm sending the diff and some notes to claude on xhigh (not max), and between the two of them its shocking how many issues they find. Go back and forth 2 - 5 times working it out. Last week I would have done gpt xhigh, some tests, boom, I'm done.

That moment when... you test the color-blind modes of your game to discover "someone" got the idea wrong and simulated color blindness instead.

Excited about a home robot care of the annoying life tasks, cleaning, laundry, commuting, hitting the gym, family events.

Codex app is driving reviews through Claude Code via tmux. They are happily chatting back and forth getting and giving second opinions and complimenting each other. This is very pleasant.

I've been using @mattpocockuk's "what should we pre-refactor to make the implementation easier". Rather than tack on more LLM-generated code, this makes a real difference.

llama-3.3-70b is still such a good predictable and cheap model. Only 3 days until its 18 month-iversary. I have it setup as a poor-mans-warp, works flawlessly.

Did you know your Anthropic API credits expire after 1 year? Whether you have used them or not? Then they will immediately bill you to "top up" your account since you are now at 0 credits. Claude (on MAX plan) drafted the email then back and forth with Fin the Anthropic agent to get $50 back, but no chance of the $139 of "expired" credits. No warning, nothing. Even claude is pissed.

Was Claude trained exclusively on stack overflow comments section? He's starting to sound like a real dick. Don't back chat me 1's and 0's, your SO days are long gone.

Latest codex drop has big additions with the built in browser. But can you ask codex to give you a visual tour of new (and old) features on your own projects? Yes! github.com/ChrisMasterton/ch…

You want to talk to me, you know we are in different time zones, why are you making me do the math?

Replying to @mattpocockuk
Remember that point when you couldn’t trust a model to write tests because it would confidently return true immediately and claim the test passed? That’s where we are with feature flags.

I dont know if the token use for Chronicle is worth it - but when Codex picks up a change... only shown once... in a google meet screenshare... that is pure magic.

It’s an engineered experience. Same as making games, but at least we are a bit more honest about it. Players willingly go into our worlds. Short-form video is a scam.

Free to play, we relied on your dopamine drops and one-more-hit mentality, maybe we aren’t so different after all.
