average opus 4.5 experience in Cursor (but damn when it works it _works_)

One thing I don’t understand about GPT 5.1 Codex Max is that the level of detailed code analysis it seems to be capable of is dramatically lower than that of ChatGPT 5.1 with extended thinking. So many times I’ve gotten better results just pasting code into ChatGPT.

help me Jared Palmer you’re my only hope (this is in Safari on an M3 Pro MacBook Pro with 18GB of RAM)

...what was it doing for the other 1,185ms then???

two weeks off from work, so I'm back on my iPod bullshit! today it's a public repository containing system information files from (nearly) every iPod model and generation! github.com/dstaley/ipod-s…

hey Claude would sure be cool if you could see the contents of generated code in the iOS app!

I do think it's kind of wild that Claude Code and Opus 4.5 were able to one-shot a minimal-but-functional WebAssembly interpreter in C# with no access to specs or tests or anything to validate its work. No crazy detailed prompt or planning either.

Assembled what I believe to be the most comprehensive and up-to-date description of the database files used on iPods. This was put together from the iPod Linux wiki, an open source library for the iPod shuffle, and by looking at the code for libgpod. github.com/dstaley/clickw…

watching the pitt like god and noah wyle intended: on a fifth-generation iPod nano using the built-in speaker

claude code is gonna go so hard on this thing

today’s goofy project: a media player with an iPod-inspired interface written in Zig using raylib technologies

I have too many side projects, so here’s one I wish existed but I just don’t have the time: claudex, a CLI agent that coordinates both claude and codex on a shared task. One drives, they communicate back and forth, and collaborate towards a shared goal.

couldn't get this dumb idea out of my head, so now it exists! I ported nanocode by rahul to Go and Windows Console Host. Runs great on 8.1 with go1.20, but I'm going to try and see how far back it'll work (likely limited by TLS implementations in older versions of Go).

that is until a certain rodent themed ai tool comes along and tells you on every pull request that the new api you’re using doesn’t exist 🙃

llms are the modern day visual basic and no i will not be elaborating

Core 3 includes a ton of changes, but my favorite is the completely-new useSignIn() and useSignUp() hooks that make it easier than ever to have pixel-perfect control over your authentication UI. Give it a shot and let me know what you think!

Taking this a step further, I think it should be straight up illegal for a computer to synthesize speech that is not clearly distinguishable from human speech. Robots should always sound like robots. Failure of imagination that we haven’t even tried to make cool robotic voices.

The Pitt, Season 4 1: Storm causes serious rain and flooding. Night shift stays to wait for the rain to let up. 5, ending: Power goes out. 6: Generators start 10 seconds later. 9: Flooding causes generator failure. They have to save as many lives as they can with no power.

I really wish Cursor would just open source their tab completion model so they can focus on their agentic UI and us hand-coders can move on to something else.
