>so they can be "skilled artisans"

Having had to work with these guys, and then maintain their software when they inevitably get bored and/or leave for more money elsewhere, no. Usually when these guys leave, their stacks/projects are the first to get rolled into the monolith and/or rewritten in the company's lingua franca (python)

Apple rumor mill is suggesting that we may see M5 Mac Studio announced in September at that event. Apple just increased their pricing across the board, so I'm not holding my breath that they will be reasonably priced. They also cancelled development of their M6 in favor of the future M7 which I suspect will be a major, AI-focused upgrade compared to the M4->M5 upgrade

>it uses JIS screws rather than Philips (in addition to triwing)

I don't think this is an issue for anyone who has had to disassemble a japanese device before, and the bits are widely available online. Countless youtube videos have discussed that JIS vs Philips in the consumer space are largely compatible outside of american aircraft construction.

They added a "/goal" command which I guess spawns a supervisor agent process that checks to see if your goal statement has been achieved (e.g. "/goal complete tasks 1-250 of plan.md") I've been pretty happy with it but I rarely use that workflow. Most of the time I give it a 3-6 step prompt and come back in 20 min and the first two were done and I get a summary "up next is to complete the next steps" which.... Opus 4.6 didn't have this problem. 4.8 feels like a cost cutting measure, or maybe it's just tuned poorly for my specific workflow (multi-repo system integration)

In my subjective experience, Dextromethorphan (DXM, as the robo-trippers call it) does almost nothing for me, in the 1-5% range

The only cold and cough medicine that really truly works is the over-the-counter stuff, pseudoephedrine, works amazing for me. I usually pick up a box of the stuff when school starts in the fall and I go through half a box of it by the following summer.

I ran W2K through most of high school and until like 2009 when Valve finally dropped support for it. It was a great OS fast, rarely crashed, most games would actually run on it. Valve dropping W2K support meant TF2 no longer ran without jumping through a bunch of hoops

One of the key design principles of podman was rootless operation; they were so disgusted by Docker being a daemon they decided to do a full open source implementation. I've never had an issue with it running without root.

Here you go. The green bar is the claude code 5 min cache expiry countdown timer (anthropic charges a fraction of cached context, I forget something like 10 or 30% of the normal price, but the cache is only 5 min for most users, 1 hr for enterprise/premium)

It's not amazing code but it's tooling that works for me.

I have a pretty specific workflow, I deal with live systems a lot (primarily in staging but occasionally prod) and have a really neat skill that has hooks into all the various things and then writes (&& checks in git) an investigation doc (.md) using a template into a git knowledgebase by month/quarter. That knowledgebase is really useful for frontloading the context of my new sessions as a lot of my work is iterative on previous work. It is really good at 80% of tasks, but simple stuff like using sops or modifying subcharts in helm it really struggles with. I do a lot of integration work between monorepos and Opus 4.7/4.8 really struggle with that kind of work. Opus is so bad at sops work I just outsource that to Codex/GPT5.5 now because the failure rate is so high.

The other high failure rate things is opus correctly predicting where endpoints will end up (stacked endpoints), when you have an ingress with a main monorepo but it's endpoints are the outputs (not just json regurgitated/passed forward).

I figured by having the clanker write it's own documentation about what it did, and then the next time saying "go look at invest doc 2026-06-29-TICKT_1234.md, do that again, but here's what we're doing differently and why..." and it would immediately grep the situation, but it doesn't. As alluded to earlier I've been exploring other models since the corporate blessed one is struggling to keep up.

Curious to see what you release.

I ended up building a vs-code/IDE style workflow for claude that has a "file browser" of CC sessions in the left column, sorted by repo, and then terminal in the right column, and then I've been tacking features like this onto it

Opus is so slow these days what I really want is a bell sound to ring when it's done. I kick off some task and then it takes 3-12 minutes to complete. It's wrong, so I tell it to revert and try again with slightly different instructions.

There was a flight to quality (their first real test, in my opinion) back in February 2026 and... nobody bought Crypto. Crypto never recovered after that. It's a good time to be a lobbyist, but I don't think you can effectively legislate against the value of gold for any amount of money.

> making software better instead of banning it

We're still in the middle of the cambrian explosion.

If Anthropic was capable of developing Opus 4.49-4.5 2H 2025.... then any company with a research team capable of reading all the papers and press releases will be capable of producing Opus 4.8 by the end of 2027, either raw model competency, or in a harness like claude code (or better with both). I guess what I am trying to say is that Opus 4.5 does not represent the edge of agentic capability, merely somewhere in the thick meaty layer of "functional and achievable".

We can draw the line at Sonnet 4.6 in the US but much like encryption export restrictions in the 1980s, the line drawn will be laughably low within a few years and simply unthinkable in a decade.

Each model release gives an opportunity to reduce the number of old models still on offer, and charge a higher, less-subsidized tier. The trick is to charge a subsidized price that is less than an M3 Ultra, so they continue paying you rent, instead of a one-time fixed cost. So far open models can't compete with Opus 4.5 but as soon as it can, people will be looking at buying devices that can run that model locally.

We are a claude shop but we already bought two mac studios to start migrating less complex but still agentic workflows there. We will break even on those in less than a year.

You can hire an Azure or Google Kubernetes devops guy and he will be equally comfortable on your AWS EKS kubernetes cluster. And when he leaves, you don't have a six week onboarding process with the new guy to learn all the ins and outs of your totally bespoke, non-standard container orchestration system that was cobbled together by two devs with no operations experience.

K3S takes about 5 minutes to setup the first time and you instantly have an entire universe of standardized operational tooling. I wouldn't touch docker compose with a 20 foot pole for production work.

17K tok/s is approaching realtime motor cortex needs for a robot with ~12 actuators (bipedal humanoid) and an IMU. I don't know how many parameters a motor cortex would need but 8B feels like it is within 2 orders of magnitude.
