iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Just switched back to the ChatGPT Electron slop app (for ChatGPT Work; regular ChatGPT is effectively abandoned with no new model releases) and got hit with this absolute gem when trying to close the window.

The C2 modem is definitely pretty good. I usually get two bars of Verizon service at home; I'm now up to three. Bandwidth seems to be the same as Qualcomm.

Glacier is the color of the year. Just gorgeous. And yes, this is coming from a noted burgundy hater. It's literally a better Sierra Blue.

It is genuinely hilarious that the US government is running an open beta for this year's college financial aid form. "This is a common best practice in web and software development."

Interesting tidbit: "It's Glowtime" (2024 iPhone event) was the last time (and seemingly only time in recent memory) Apple capitalized both words in an event tagline. This is irrelevant information, but it occurred to me for some reason.

Apple event! Wednesday, September 9, "Surprise and Shine." Live from the Steve Jobs Theater. Lots to unfold, presumably.

This is, dare I say, sensible? They should just apply these rules to all other countries with new regulations, i.e., Japan, Brazil, etc. www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/0...

Went ahead and added YouTube Premium to my Google One subscription so I could save like $5 a month. Apparently YouTube doesn't know what this exists, so I had to manually cancel my existing, separate subscription. This is the template email I received in return. 🤦‍♂️

Fun fact: The website for Dasani bottled water literally has reviews embedded from seemingly happy customers of… bottled water. www.coca-cola.com/us/en/brand...

Finally upgraded my Spectrum internet service (:/) and now I have a reasonable 60 mbps up. (I used to have like 11.) This is a big deal for me.

The award for best in-app AI implementation goes to Craft. You can pay for Craft's AI (included in your plan) or connect your ChatGPT account and use your Codex limits instead. Really neat!

Absolutely bizarre bug in iPadOS 27: menu bar items render in the inverse order of which they're declared. I… don't know what to make of this.

Citations 1.3 is finally fixing a bunch of little paper cuts in the app. In today's build: formats that discard authors above a certain number no longer ask for those authors — they limit the author count proactively. To clarify this, I've added new explanatory text. Rolling out in TF.

So happy that I can finally get real work done with Opus 5 on the Pro plan — at least until Fable 5.1 comes out. Really great model. Makes some dumb mistakes, and the Claude Code harness/apps are terrible, but Anthropic is clearly winning on model performance.

You are literally in Auto mode. Does this thing not understand what "auto approve commands" means?

Pro tip: If you want to use the latest Codex models in Xcode, set up the Codex ACP: github.com/agentclientprotoco.... Ask Codex to do it if you don't know what to do. Then, add Codex as a custom agent in Xcode 27: Settings → Intelligence → Add an Agent…

tfw Quartz Compositor is using more RAM than the ChatGPT app with no windows open (someone should vibe-code a competitor to Grammarly)

This model (Opus 5) is high. Computed properties cannot be constants. This is basic Swift. I thought this was the most advanced large language model known to humanity?

"Introducing Claude Opus 5, Fable-level performance at a much lower cost"

Eshu Marneedi @eshumarneedi.com · 23/07/2026

It's one thing when you get a Claude "server error" when you're working with your plan usage limits, but it's another thing when you're using usage credits. Abysmal. These people better add Fable (or Opus 5) to the Pro plan if *this* is the quality of service people are expected to pay for.
