Where fable has blown me away is converting entire code bases and or refactoring across many different segments.

It’s far more careful than opus and puts far more effort into testing and validating by default.

Switching back to opus at work was a downgrade. Similar requests felt more clunky and needed far more hand holding.

This is an issue I am running up against on Safari (Version 26.5 (21624.2.5.11.4)) on MacOS 26.5.

I keep getting the turnstile and having to click the "I a human" button.

Where is the proof for that? I am interested in learning more about the network plugin! I was under the impression it did not use any AGPL code at all, and that it basically just talked HTTP.

I've been comparing Claude vs Codex using GPT and Claude consistently is better than GPT about reasoning, about writing code, and using the tools as appropriate.

GPT for instance had a lot of issues using git worktrees, and didn't understand how to correctly use it to then merge stuff back into a main branch, vs Claude which seems to do this much more naturally.

GPT also left me with broken tests/code that I had to iterate on manually, Claude is much better about reasoning through code. Primarily Python.

That page (and the rest of the book) is far less pornographic than the actual porn I and many other kids I grew up with had access to, and regularly shared between ourselves, and is incredibly tame.

I also find it very telling that you'd consider what is on page 168 pornographic in the first place, sexually explicit maybe, but it is not intended to arouse or cause sexual excitement, it's meant to portray a lived experience.

The sexual repression in the United States is part of the reason why so many people grow up with the wrong ideas around sex and why teen pregnancy is such a big thing. Open discussion about these things (including gender and gender identity in that) is the best way to allow kids to grow up to be functional adults that are well informed and able to have critical thought about how and what they do and are far less likely to fall prey to predators and people who want to do them harm due to their lack of experience.

Anathem was almost unreadable due to the aforementioned world building but also apparently needing to redefine every single last word in the dictionary.

But Cryptonomicon, Snow Crash and REAMDE were amazing.

I would like to be able to add it to HomeKit without it ever phoning home once. Matter + Thread help make that a possibility.

> If you are travelling in the USA as long as you stick to the interstate system you pretty much get mobile data the entire way. IF you drift onto smaller highways then that is when things get very spotty outside of metropolitan areas.

Stretches of road in Utah would like to have a word with you. Specifically I-70.

Which is a good thing for most users, just not the power users that would potentially want their editor to open ~/.bash_profile (although the downside is that if they were allowed to do so, they could do so silently as well... which is the problem Apple is trying to solve for).

Very recently being when?

I don't remember anytime where I've used a Java Applet on any single banking site.

StackOverflow DOES:

Notice the requirement for two spaces at the end, ONLY Github doesn't do that.

Stackoverflow requires you to add two spaces to the end of every one of those sentences in your poem to work as you just said it did ... Stackoverflow DID NOT make that change you suggested it did.

Then make the form that the user enters data into be either parsed differently, by pre-processing it, or have some javascript magic that automatically adds the extra two spaces required to make it work.

This way if the user presses <Enter><Enter> then the JS can remove the extra two spaces and it will still be valid markdown.

I might be the only one, but I actually prefer Markdowns handling of a single "enter" without spaces at the end to mean that the paragraph is not finished. It makes writing blogs and various other stuff in Vim much simpler, and I can more easily reformat text to wrap at 80 characters, and have better control over it.

Could I soft-wrap in my editor? Sure, but that would mean that the text files sitting on my hard drive now have very long strings in them making it harder to grep, making it harder to add to git (change a single character, entire line is now a diff :-().

I hope that doesn't become the default.
