For those that haven’t seen this very well done write up about Tahoe’s use of icons, I would definitely recommend it: https://tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/

Some are more sealed than others, such as Rivian's R1T and R1S which have a water fording height of ~43": https://rivian.com/support/article/what-is-the-water-fording...

This is hugely relevant to my interests. In my spare time I've been building a planetarium/star map app (iOS / Vision Pro) and atmospheric scattering is something that has been on my todo list for awhile. This is definitely above and beyond what I'm going for atmosphere-wise but still amazing to see. Thanks to Maxime for this write up!

Thanks for the follow up here and the transparency.

For those of us not on X, what are the best communication channels for us to follow this sort of communication?

We spent a lot of timing going back and forth on picking up a few ReMarkables, ended up going with supernote (https://supernote.com/) as it seems more open / less locked down at the time. No regrets so far after a few years of ownership.

I would imagine that this sort of scheduling allows them to have more predictable loads, and they may be hoping that people will schedule some of their tasks in “off hours” to reduce daytime load.

IME this isn't just a 'Claude Code' problem, I'm seeing extremely degraded / unresponsive performance using Opus 4.6 in Cursor.

good news, there are artists out there doing exactly this!

Great, glad to hear that! Stoked to kick the tires on Cursor 3. Thanks for confirming, leerob!

Agreed completely on this (as a heavy daily user of Cursor). It's been the perfect in-between of coding by hand (never again!) and strictly "vibe coding" for me. Being able to keep my eyes on all the changes in a "traditional" IDE view helps me maintain a mental model of how my systems work.

I'm hoping in this new UI in v3 I can still get that experience (maybe it's just hidden behind a toggle somewhere for power users / not shown off in the marketing materials).

This seems like a mix of Claude Code and Superset (https://superset.sh/). Interested to try it out and see how well it performs all the same.

Thank you for this detailed reply. I really enjoy learning about this sort of thing, going to dig into those links later! Much appreciated!

Genuinely curious, source for this?

> ~0.1% of southern forestland), which is a fraction of worse invasives: Japanese honeysuckle (4.4%) and Asian privet (1.4%).

Sample size of 1 here (I know), but I've spent a meaningful portion of my life outdoors in the south and I have _never_ seen swaths of the landscape covered with Japanese Honeysuckle or Asian Privet like I have Kudzu. It absolutely dominates _everything_ in areas where it's present here (not surprising when it can grow up to a 1 foot (0.3 m) a day.)

Not trying to say you're incorrect, just trying to get a better handle on this. The thought that there are more destructive invasive plants in the US south than Kudzu is kind of blowing my mind.

Someone actually took the effort to make a video to show how broken it is, it’s worth a watch: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hksVvXONrIo
