I noticed Claude code does something similar when "Exploring" the code base, it spawns a subagent using Heroku to get the summary and file locations, which is both faster and it doesn't pollute the context as much.
I wonder how it compares to an vector indexing approach.
I noticed Fable was quite a bit terser, and I think it's due to changes in the system prompt [0]. They're literally saying "just give me the TLDR" and "give brief updates". You can tweak a lot of that with an AGENTS.md.
Thunderbird does not seem to have auto-categorization from what I see, just filtering. Neither does KMail. Unless you’re referring to some addons? For apple mail you have to add it on each client. And a lot of comments are about how to disable it because it categorizes wrong.
Reddit “best” sorting is pretty much like instagram and TikTok now, have to make sure it on hot/top, otherwise it’ll show you “related” things from subreddits you never subscribed to.
Also it breaks copying links. If I want to link to an issue I copy the URL. But now there's two different issues open at the same time, which one am I linking to? Original? Popup? Both?
Based on the communication fix, they also didn't have a simulator, or tests, or complete source code, on a custom instruction set that wasn't well documented, so they had to reverse engineer how it worked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcUycQoz0zg&t=2366s
I was making a telegram to Claude via tmux capture-pane and send-keys, this will be so much nicer. Also sounds like something that addresses some of what Steve Yegge said was missing for agent to agent communication as well.
I just watched 20 minutes on the gardening channel and learned a bunch that I never would have seen with the YouTube algorithm, and wouldn’t have thought of to search for.
> we found that employees worked at a faster pace, took on a broader scope of tasks, and extended work into more hours of the day, often without being asked to do so.
> On their own initiative workers did more because AI made “doing more” feel possible, accessible, and in many cases intrinsically rewarding.
Had the same issue with slow file explorer in Windows 10. A couple of things helped a bit, such as disabling "Show recently used files" and "Show frequently used folders". I also cleaned up the Quick access list. For some reason if you have a network share there it makes browsing local dirs slower, go figure. It's still not instant but a lot faster than the 3+ second delay.
I tried OneCommander and they're super fast, so it's not something slowing down disk IO, it's purely File Explorer.
Now I'm still struggling with closing chrome tabs being super slow sometimes.
I was about to do exactly what OP did and create a chrome extension when I found karakeep which saved me from doing that. I really like the full archive because sites disappear all the time, and screenshots for a visual overview. Used to use pinboard but didn't like that archive feature was a subscription. It also works with SingleFile to archive logged-in sites.
Even after 40 years of battle-hardening, it has had buffer overflow and double free vulnerabilities discovered recently, which Rust protects against. sudoedit one was pretty bad. https://www.sudo.ws/security/advisories/
It's funny that converting the first example to the second is a common thing a compiler does, Static single assignment [0], to make various optimizations easier to reason about.
