it's not immediately obvious from the screenshot, but the 1.4x gain is *on the same machine*. somewhat embarrassing for Apple.
we might be sleeping on local linux VMs

Honestly, couldn't care less about the touch screen, but the glowing apple logo? I would upgrade just for that. 🥲
We’re glowing with excitement over the new MacBook Pro. You’ve gotta touch it to believe it.

It's interesting that on the CLI Claude wins with remote, but with the GUI Codex wins. Eitherway @t3dotcodes is way better than both 😎 I do wonder why people prefer the CLI these days 🤔
Claude /remote-control is becoming one reason to prefer Claude CLI versus Codex CLI sometimes, since it is too convenient. I'm not sure why @OpenAIDevs is lagging on that, many open issues and requests, and does not look too hard to add.

I am here once again to say “put up or shut up” One million to open source this year, as we continue to give back to the ecosystem via the pledge. More than half has gone directly to your favorite open source developers. blog.sentry.io/another-year-…

It's way too easy to get lost on X while waiting for something (or just procrastinating). So I asked Claude to build a small app that tracks what I'm doing, using screenshots and whatever's in focus. Every 15 minutes, Claude checks it and calls me out if I'm wasting time.

Obviously the first thing I did when receiving this notification was to go and post about it on X, so I have an excuse to keep wasting my time 🫣

I had the same experience with my own project where I decided to go against the common wisdom of software engineering and just have the agents build the new version from scratch. My accumulated experience from v1 along with the advancement in models made v2 significantly better.
Two weeks ago, I got a Slack message in the middle of the night from one of our developers asking for our credit card details to get more Claude tokens. That was unusual. He was already on the Max plan and had never needed extra credits before (at least not that I remember). I approved it of course, but I also asked him what happened. He told me he'd spent some time thinking about everything we'd learned building Catch over the past few months: how users actually used the product, the bugs we'd encountered, and how we fix them. He decided to rebuild the entire architecture from scratch. Fast-forward to today, two weeks later. After extensive testing and great results, we've migrated all Catch users to the new architecture and deleted the "legacy" codebase 🤯

My feed is full of this.. I would really love to see an online MCP for @obsdmd Sync subscribers, so we don't have to hack solutions to connect our agents to Obsidian. 🙏
Too many posts praising @NotionHQ over Obsidian vault to keep ignoring. Anyone using Notion with Hermes or bot ?

This is a good idea. Gonna steal for my own agent 💯
Replying to @thekitze
the desktop app is live too and it has its own browser on any desktop device you log into it acts as a node with extra permissions via mcp you can use this fully with local agents and not a single thing will go to the cloud

I wanted to have this feature but all the time, not just when recording... so I just asked Codex :-)
Your music can now sound like you stepped outside the club while you dictate 🪩 Our new muffle feature is live in the app 🗣️

Introducing ChatGPT for Dishwashing GPT-6 achieves state-of-the-art results on dishwashing benchmarks for long-running jobs and difficult stains. The Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem is a $1 million challenge about whether the equations describing fluid motion can break down. In this video, I accidentally found a counter-example while trying to optimize my dishwasher.

I was actually contemplating today to switch to a different provider (@Fastmail ?) who respects their users and provides MCP.
what the world really wants and needs is an official, well maintained and capable gdrive/gmail mcp.

🤯 I had to try this too. My prompt was a bit longer: “On the redash.io website we have a short video showcasing redash. Make a dynamic 15 second motion graphics video that can replace it.” After the first result I followed up with: “This is nice. Can you make the logo look like the real one and retain the animation you made with the bars?” I think my next prompt will be: “update the Redash app design to match the video” 😅
Wow! One shot claude demo. Prompt: make a dynamic 15 second motion graphics video that shows what an incredible tool flipper is. Could it be improved? Sure, but honestly its stupid good for < 100 character prompt.

I made a new release of Redash yesterday with 13 CVEs fixed. In the lifetime of the project until now (~10 years) we had only 7… It’s much easier to find vulnerabilities, but also to fix them and hopefully for users to upgrade to latest.
This past Thursday, the scheduled Postgres minor releases came out. As expected, the CVE count continues to explode: 28 this time, more than 2× the previous scheduled release, which had 11. And 17 of those 28 CVEs have score > 8.0... I can only imagine how much work it takes behind the scene, to handle that amount security issues to be fixed. === Another interesting detail: 18.5 was never released, and never will be. Minor version jumped straight from 18.4 to 18.6 because a regression was discovered after 18.5 had already been wrapped. I couldn't remember the last time a PostgreSQL minor version was skipped. Turns out it was long, long time ago -- June 2008. Back then, an entire release train was skipped at once: 7.4.20, 8.0.16, 8.1.12, 8.2.8, and 8.3.2. So 18.5 is the first skipped PostgreSQL minor version in roughly 18 years. === And 18.6 is absolutely record-breaking in terms of the number of CVEs fixed in a single release: 28. The question now is: what's coming next? How big will the next wave of this CVE tsunami be?

אני רוצה לחלוק פרוייקט חדש שאני עובד עליו כמה חודשים ואולי הכי שאפתני שעשיתי עד כה. בשנות החמישים והשישים, ניצולים התיישבו וכתבו ספרים. לא יומנים, ולא ספרי היסטוריה. ספרי יזכור. מי שנשאר מקהילה שלמה מצא עוד כמה כמותו, והם ניסו להעלות על הכתב את מה שזכרו: מי גר ברחוב הזה, מי לימד בחדר, מי התפלל באיזה בית כנסת, איך נראה השוק ביום שישי. הם כתבו את זה בעצמם, ביידיש ובעברית, ומימנו את ההדפסה מכיסם. לפעמים כמה מאות עותקים, וזהו. ובסוף כמעט כל ספר יש רשימה. שם אחרי שם אחרי שם. בספר של סוקולקה יש שורה שכתוב בה: מאיר שרייבמן, אשתו דבה, בניו גבריאל וראובן. על שמם אני ואחי נקראים. משפחה שלמה, בשורה אחת. וזה כל מה שנשאר ממנה בעולם. הספרים האלה נסרקו כבר לפני שנים ויושבים בארכיונים פיזים ודיגיטליים, פתוחים לכל אחד. אבל הם לא באמת נגישים: טורים צפופים ביידיש, OCR שבור שמפרק מילים לאותיות בודדות, ואפס יכולת חיפוש. מי שמחפש היום את שם המשפחה של סבתא שלו לא ימצא כלום. השם כתוב שם, באחד העמודים, ואי אפשר להגיע אליו. בניתי את פרוייקט Kehilot לזה.

כשטראמפ זרק את אוקראינה מתחת לגלגלי האוטובוס ידענו שזה יכול לקרות גם לנו. אבל כרגע נראה שהוא לא רק זרק אותנו מתחת לגלגלי האוטובוס, אלא שהוא גם נוהג בו. כל הצהרה מופע אימה יותר נורא מהקודם.

נכון אתם שורפים מלא כסף על טוקנים, המתכנתים שלכם דחפו יותר קוד השנה ממה שהם עשו בחמש שנים קודם, אבל עדיין התוצאות העסקיות אותו דבר? אז מלחמת איראן האחרונה וההסכם שיחתם בשישי. 😔

כולם פתאום מגלים שקיצור זמני פיתוח ולדלבר יותר לא בהכרח מתורגם לגדילה עסקית... עשיתי את הניסוי הזה רק לכיוון ההפוך: אחרי המכירה, בשנה האחרונה של שירות ה-SaaS של Redash בגלל שתיכננו לכבות אותו, לא הוספנו שום פיצ׳ר, לא תיקנו שום באג. לא עשינו כלום חוץ מלתת תמיכה מינימלית. ההכנסות המשיכו לגדול. 🤷‍♂️
א. לא ברור הטון האגרסיבי. ב. דיברתי על פרודקטיביות של עובד. קל מאוד למדוד את זה בקיצור זמני פיתוח של פרוייקטים דומים בין עכשיו ללפני 3 שנים. (לסיים לבד בעשרה ימים פרוייקט שדרש שני מפתחים וחצי שנה של עבודה). ג. אם אתה מתעקש לשנות את הנושא של התשובה שלי מפרוקדטיביות של עובדים אל גדילה של העסק, אז כן יש גדילה לא רעה. אבל חשוב לציין שהפרודוקטיביות של חלק גדול מהשוק עלתה. כלומר גם התחרות השתפרה מאוד.
