Alabama has the worst shitty ass roads in the South and I hate having to drive through it on the way to Tennessee. #I-59

So, trump called a female reporter a bitch and the other reporters just.....stood there??? This is a colleague of Johnathan Karl. He’s real proud of his phone calls with Trump. I bet he won’t say a thing about this. Rachel Scott is a REAL reporter!!

I'm absolutely fascinated by this tool that lets you build wireframes using text elements, ASCII art style. I've seen wireframes in excel, powerpoint, on paper, but this is a first. Still, it's actually quite efficient and exportable. Love it! wiretext.app/

I'm starting to understand why men 40+ give up trying to have a social life and become hermits with their families at home. This world is made for people who already have friends. Once those are lost by having kids, death, moving, new job, politics, etc., finding new ones is damned near impossible.

Project Hail Mary is a beautiful movie adaptation of a great book. I wasn’t sure they could match The Martian in capturing the vibe of Weir’s science-forward writing while properly pacing the scenes. They did. I’ll be shocked if Ryan and the Rocketeers and the wardrobe team don’t win big.

I like the idea but I’m perplexed why they didn’t double down on their own M series for it. Obviously not an M4, but an M1 is still one hell of a chip!

In coding contexts, Claude is a beast. But this is making me feel stuck. I need a long-term brain partner, not just a bot to throw questions at.

Richard Tallent @tallent.us · 08/03/2026
Conversations *should* be independent. Need a tight context. But if I specifically *ask* it to look back at related conversations, it should. I thought "Projects" would help, but even there, Claude says it can't pull context from other conversations.

Richard Tallent @tallent.us · 08/03/2026
Using "memory" would be too sparse -- it won't recall technical details, attempts/failures, etc. Using a git repo with folders/files for projects won't work, because I'm often using my phone. (Maybe /rc would help there but has serious limits.)

#ClaudeAI has a serious feature gap for ChatGPT converts: the ability to refer back to previous conversations. I'm working to migrate away from ChatGPT, but I have a ton of long-running personal projects (home repair, automation, art, personal web sites, etc.) that each span multiple conversations.

IMHO, #Block is doing it wrong. Companies should not be chopping dev staff or expecting AI to immediately drive down cost. Instead, they should wait and see which devs use LLMs to generate production-ready, coherent code/artifacts that improve internal bottlenecks and user experience.

DEAR CLAUDE, You hereby have permission to make ANY CHANGE, as long as it is: 1. In the current repository. 2. Not a destructive git command. GO DO THINGS! I don't want to come back after lunch and see 20 minutes of wasted time waiting for me to answer if you can use "sed" #Anthropic #ClaudeCode

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

Work with the LLM first to come up with a migration plan. Decide if it’s going to be a greenfield transfer or migrate in place. Figure out some ways for the LLM to check itself as it goes (tsc, etc.). Set out some guardrails on how you want vite/TS to be used.
