Claude Opus 5.5 100 HTML Files One hundred self-contained HTML pages made with Claude Opus 5.5: generative art, simulations, instruments, editorial layouts and playful tools, each with the exact prompt that produced it. miaai-lab.github.io This is a really impressive collection of single file sites done by opus 5.5. Miaai-lab even gives you the prompt that she used to make it.

dax (@thdxr) on X in the next version of OpenCode we added /btw which is a long awaited feature it lets you ask a quick question without interrupting the current session - i use it to get status updates on long run… X (formerly Twitter) · x.com oooh, excited for this upcoming feature to opencode to be able to gracefully ask a side question without interruption.

Excited to see Mitchell’s multiplexer project come together.

Justin Searls @searls /goal is a special command for OpenAI Codex in which it will keep working toward whatever goal you set until it gradually convinces itself that the stated goal is not what you wanted but rather so... justin․searls․co · justin.searls.co LOL, interesting I just heard DHH talk about how we needed goal for a minute blip in history, it did it’s job. Then new models come out trained on our use of it and the models just do it whether you ask for it or not it does not really matter much either way. /goal is a special command for OpenAI Codex in which it will keep working toward whatever goal you set until it gradually convinces itself that the stated goal is not what you wanted but rather some much easier objective was the real goal all along. — @justin

A Calendar View For My Blog 807 blog posts across 14 years. That’s how much I’ve published on my blog at the time of this writing. And here’s the question I’ve been turning over in my… blog.jim-nielsen.com Love the calendar view for Jim’s posts. I’m on my way to do this, I’ve been using a view like this in plaindown and nvim for my daily notes for awhile, but yet to publish a version on the website. I like how jim has made a visual indication on the different days highlighting posts that have landed on hacker news.

My Mechanical Keyboards My KBDFans DZ65RGB: Custom build, see full built My Kinesis Advantages 2: Ergonomic (Find How I Lubed and Dampered the keyboard) Simon Späti · ssp.sh These are absolutely lovely. They look like they are ready to really get some work done. The Ducky is a little heavy on the gamer side for me looks wise, too much flash, not enough gas.

If this existed before, I probably would not have gone down the path of building my own from scratch. A monoblock that can plop down on a laptop is goated, split is nice at a desk, but nothing beats the portability of a monoblock. I dont like how this one covers up the trackpad with its 4th set of thumb keys. Also theres no need to mae the sides so thin, the height in the middle goes up to the top of the caps. Doing this all the way around makes it so much easier to toss into a backpack wtihout touching any keys. almost there dygma, just a few nit picks.

A quote from Florian Herrengt But then users start to report a weird bug. It's the 4th time your team has been trying to fix it. I mean... asking AI to fix it. Unfortunately, it … Simon Willison’s Weblog · simonwillison.net We are entering into dark times, dark times I tell ya. An era where we have all the greatest tools to build software by hand, with decades of experience to do it. Yet it’s a time where none of it matters. Machines can spit out glorious amounts of slop in an instant. They can do weeks of the average mans work in minutes. Yet the core principles still apply now more than ever. Observability into our production systems matter more than ever. Things are changing fast, and big. Prs are not the same size they used to be. We have not yet developed the tools and intuition into this new world to manage it effectively. This will come with time, but for now, these are dark times filled with the glitter and glisten of promise, hope, and shiny new things cranked out upon first thought

Blogging and blog setups Jack Baty's blog — posts, journal, notes. baty.net · baty.net Damn this hits. I’m trying to change it up, but I’m far on the right. constantly greasing the pipeline and writing about it. or lately just not writing at all.

I really like the art style of this game. Love that someone is making something Hollow Knight like in their own style. The bosses though… oddly a little close to hollow knight characters.

Interesting tangent here on sleep, Adam talks about jet lag and his experience taking abien to shift his sleep schedule. In his experience it helped fix the sleep schedule, but did nothing to change how he actually felt during that time of re orienting in a new drastically different time zone. He was reminded of all of the sleep studies they did on mythbusters and how they found that it did not matter so much how much “sleep” you got that lying there still and quiet was nearly as effective as sleeping. Knowing this will, like others mentioned, will greatly relieve the sleep pressure I feel on nights of restlessness.

I had no idea how these pipes work, I’ve accidentally spawned so many that have sat there and waited for something to come down the pipe, but did not know this is what was happening.

Every Dax Raad interview is worth a listen, this one does not disappoint. They talk about running local dev setups in a vm in the cloud. Always connected, seemlessly upgrading hardware without you needing to buy sell or trade a thing. They talk about the one model that drove them into psycosis, I’m pretty sure it was 5.6 sol, but it could not be revealed at the time. Software engineering is still required alive and well even through the agentic era here.

Great reference to 11 laws of the universe.

dax (@thdxr.com) so obviously n=1 but anecdotes matter a lot here i gave kimi k3 and sol the same task - simple issue with hovers in the tui being the wrong color sol found and fixed the issue with $0.30 of spend… Bluesky Social · bsky.app So much nuance in model selection its hard to keep up.

Completely missing the point of physical media. I don’t see why preserving physical media is a win for xbox right now. The game is not on disk. In 30 years when the game servers are gone, I wont be able to play the game. I wont be able to buy cheap used copies in 6 months as people beat the game. I wont be able to trade in games I’ve beat to get a different game at a low cost. own nothing and be happy.

Interesting thoughts from a real OG Kent Beck. He argues we are whitnissing the biggest advancement in computing in 40 years. For 40 years we have been almost exclusively writing in compiled languages. Languages that output to some sort of binary compiled assembly instructions for each processor type. Before that it was all hand written instructions directly to CPU. Now we are seeing the genie revolution. The genie is good a writing in many different programming languages given english prompts. It loves to complete problems and is not afraid to write lots of code very quickly. Its quite good at skirting around our best judgement in order to accomplish the goal we set. Some take aways from this talk is that NO ONE knows what the fuck is next. No one knows the best ways to use these things. Everyone has their own opinion wrapped around their experience that might be wildly different than yours. It seems clear this is changing every day and ways no one can measure, predict, or prepare for. So much sits in the hands of model labs and model providers. Without real access to any of it, its all magic.

I align a lot with this post. From growing up in a rural house where internet access was harder to get. It was slow and only had one line, if you were on the internet, no one in the house could recieve a phone call. Idk if what is now the smol webl, the indieweb, is seeing a resurgence, if I’m just noticing it more. It does feel like along there has been a very small number of users willing to get their own domain, their own server, and host their own shit. A few of these are starting to really break out occasionally, see things like wordle hitting mass adoptioun before being swooped up by a giant. I too miss the internet of old, heck I really dont even mind the middle era of fb, twitter, instagram dominance, but what we have now is dominated by political undertones on it all with everyone shouting “Fake News” at each other. These sites are the easiest place to stay in touch with those you have met online, yet they are riddled with so much toxicity its impossible to have a great experience on them. I’m about a year and a half of not having a single one on my phone, and at this point I barely log into them once a week. RSS is the way forward, as long as its not killed by paywalled s…

oof Mark, this does not feel like it is set to age well. These people in power feel so disconnected from regular people with a job trying to do work.
