What are y'all using to convert Claude Code and Codex session logs to Markdown to index with qmd? /cc @tobi

Yet again @plotlygraphs saves the day. @ApacheECharts is good, but sometimes your Sankey diagram needs DAGs and layout control to show how the process really is!

“Why did it all seem to matter so much? And what do we do now with our memories, dreams, and hurts, our hope and weariness, in the Church or out of it?” Thanks to @LucySixsmith for speaking to me about her v good book on the ‘History-Maker generation’ churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2…

Really liking GPT-5.5, but boy it burns tokens at Opus 4.7 rates. Exhausted my 5h Plus plan window in 44 minutes. Never managed to hit a limit before @thsottiaux :)

This is a helpful thread on the new features and how to use them. Already used 2 of these today!
Dogfooding Opus 4.7 the last few weeks, I've been feeling incredibly productive. Sharing a few tips to get more out of 4.7 🧵

So *that's* how I get it to work!

I had a conversation recently with someone who was desperate to get AI into their workflow. They'd seen what it could do and wanted that productivity boost. But when I looked at how they were actually working, I had to be honest with them: the AI wasn't the problem they needed to solve. Their task management was a mess. Priorities shifted daily. Nobody was clear on what good output actually looked like. Adding AI to that situation wouldn't make things better, it would just make things worse faster. There's a version of AI adoption that looks like progress but is really just an expensive way to produce mediocre work more quickly. Before you can prompt an AI to write a report, you need to know what a good report looks like. Before you can ask it to prioritize your work, you need a system for knowing what matters. I've spent a long time building an AI setup that I actually find useful, and the reason it works is that the underlying processes were already solid. The AI references real procedures, not guesswork. The groundwork came first, and then the AI became genuinely helpful rather than just fast. If you're finding that AI tools aren't giving you the results you expected, it might be worth asking whether the foundations are there before blaming the tools. #AI #AgencyAdvice #Productivity

Opus is being ever so dumb this morning. GPT-5.{2,3} has now sorted 2 tasks it couldn't

Love this experience by one of the basic income pilot participants in Wales. They got £1,290 a month after tax for two years (about $1,862/mo), and at first they planned to not get a job, but then after getting into the pilot, they changed their mind, because why not do more to get more money?

Surprised Byobu doesnt get more mentions. Resizable tabs, persistence, nice scrollable windows all driven by keyboard shortcuts Been using it for the last 10 years and never looked back.

Hi @augmentcode your web page talks about using a Claude Code subscription inside Intent. Is your app allowed by their license?

What's a good, tiny local ML model for contextual spellings which I can continually finetune? E.g. for: "She will meet linden under then linden tree" => "She will meet Lyndon under the linden tree"

How can I help @claudeai or @OpenAi efficiently reason about the @ChromiumDev or @firefox codebases? They are massive and asking questions like "Where is. ___?" or "How does ___ work?" needs a̶ ̶l̶o̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ too many tokens just to get started.

Nice to see a bit of realism about AI and software development at companies.

everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code here's what things actually look like - your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping - majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life - they're not using AI to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend - the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon - even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real - your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills

this is huge. all agents have to do is send "Accept: text/markdown" and we’ll automatically convert the response to Markdown on-the-fly for any enabled site. way fewer tokens. no need to handle it on your own.
Time to consider not just human visitors, but to treat agents as first-class citizens. Cloudflare’s network now supports real-time content conversion to Markdown at the source using content negotiation headers. cfl.re/4ksZQ1S

Debugging drag-n-drop today and discovered Playwriter MCP from @__morse has full support: page.mouse.move(), down(), up(). Nice work, can watch the animations as AI tests it! @ChromiumDev MCP can't - it jumps from start to end locations.

Who's building an #AI native writing environment? Not a chat sidebar in a word processor. But a background loop, proactive prompting, plus the usual grammar and phrasing suggestions. Plus all the stuff I cant even conceive until I see it. @NotionHQ ?

@simonw have you seen anything, polished or interesting experiments, combining the act of writing with AI?
