A quick look into remote persistent sessions with Superlogical! Not just remote sessions, but some functionality like remote directory lists, too. Superlogical can actually be a full SSH replacement (I don't run SSH on my servers anymore), and I talk about that briefly, too. Related

An increasingly common pattern in my boring-administrivia workflows is creating a new folder with an inbox/ or unsorted/ subfolder, starting a Claude Code instance, and telling it "Watch that for changes, read incoming files, rename and organize into a directory structure." Anthropic Related

Their words
With thousands of developed in a mono repo, it just does happen that one directory is missing one of the two files and this means that a subset of devs work with lobotomy. We fix this with automation but it’s a stupid complexity tax that shouldn’t have to be paid.

Ever since Xcode 26, SwiftUI previews haven't worked at all unless I disable sandboxing in my app. If I don't do that, I get this error: XOJITError: Could not create code file directory for session: Permission denied I keep hoping a new version of Xcode and/or macOS will fix it, but it's the same in the latest 27 betas. (Editor → Canvas → Use Legacy Previews Execution also doesn't fix it, but does change the error.) Apple folks: FB24222556 Related

Something is wrong with my Claude Code and I can't figure it out... The latest model I can use is Opus 4.5. It claims that updates are available but Homebrew says I'm on the latest version. I've tried re-installing and clearing my .claude directory to no avail. I couldn't have used Fable last week even if I tried 😢 Any ideas? Anthropic Related

LLM Knowledge Bases Something I'm finding very useful recently: using LLMs to build personal knowledge bases for various topics of research interest. In this way, a large fraction of my recent token throughput is going less into manipulating code, and more into manipulating knowledge (stored as markdown and images). The latest LLMs are quite good at it. So: Data ingest: I index source documents (articles, papers, repos, datasets, images, etc.) into a raw/ directory, then I use an LLM to incrementally "compile" a wiki, which is just a collection of .md files in a directory structure. The wiki… LLMs Related

The verdict: pi plus a basic searxng skill outperformed Local Deep Research. Also, pi is just much more configurable: I can easily just tell it to use not just internet searches, but also my own world_knowledge directory.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
