Where’s the holistic AI productivity data?
For most of my career I ran a very small company. When you run a tiny company your resources (both time and money) are limited, and you want to use them on the things that will have the most impact. You have to quickly stop doing things that aren't cost-effective, to avoid "throwing good money...

Learn how to disable Chrome AI on your device model to optimize performance, keep your disk space, and reduce battery usage.
Remove Background Noise from Video Without Re-encoding: An Audio-Only Approach with DeepFilterNet3
A Python CLI tool that strips background noise from any video file using ML denoisers — while copying the video stream byte-for-byte. A 6 GB 4K file processes in minutes instead of hours.
Mo’ Code, Mo’ Problems
One of the truisms I learned early in my career is that every line of code you write is a liability as much as it is an asset. Every line of code you (or your team) writes is a line of code that must be maintained, a line of code that potentially exposes a security...
Det här med AI eller LLM
Det här med AI eller stora språkmodeller (LLM) som det egentligen handlar om är en fråga med en mängd aspekter och synsätt. På det sociala medium, Mastodon, som jag främst använder är de flesta väldigt negativa till Artificiell intelligens (AI).
The Mirror That Answers Back
The old questions have not changed much. How should I live? Who am I becoming? What is worth paying attention to? What is freedom? What is wisdom? What is the soul, if we dare still use that word? These questions predate Socrates. They predate writing. They are carved into the bones of the species, and...

If you won't carry the pager, maybe don't push to mainline
Drive-by AI changes break the shared model a team builds around its code, and the ICs end up cleaning up the mess. Why pushing to mainline should come with the pager.
The Cost Of Intelligence Isn’t Going Up, Your Expectations Are
Models keep doing more with fewer tokens but our expectations have gone up — painting a messy picture about the true cost of intelligence.
Coding Agent Skills vs Slash Commands, MCP, and CLI Tools
How I decide whether a coding-agent workflow belongs in a skill, slash command, MCP server, or plain CLI script.
Rebuild Workday (Applicant Tracking System)
Teams of devs have 6 hours to build their own applicant tracking system.
Rebuild Linear | The Greenfield Games
The devs had 6 hours to rebuild a project management tool like Linear.
Being A 1.5-10x Developer
Good code begets good results, so let's make a case for using coding agents to write better code, rather than just more code.
You Can Publish Without Replit
Replit and browser app builders are fine for sketches. If the app matters, I want source code, a normal repo, terminal agents, and boring deployment.

Hito Steyerl und Karen Hao auf der #rp26 über Widerstand gegen Corporate AI
https://youtu.be/PiXA0ul9ACs?si=XiXpw_-HxvqGSVPZ Für mich der Höhepunkt des re:publica-Tages gestern: Enteignungsstrategien der AI-Konzerne und Gegenstrategien. Mich hat überrascht und ermutigt, wie eindeutig die Haltung des Publikums war. Ich habe erst bei den Vorträgen Karen Haos und Hito Steyerls verstanden, wie eng der Zusammenhang zwischen der Aneignung von Ressourcen durch AI-Konzerne und den anderen durch Extraktion verursachten Krisen...

Why AGENTS.md Gets So Long
The obvious complaint about AGENTS.md is that it gets too long. I get it. You open a repo, see a few hundred lines of instructions for the coding

n8n × Bluesky × LLM × Wiki.js で、自分専用Wikiを生成する
一般人にはWikipediaページなど作られない。ならばWikiごとセルフホストし、AIに毎晩自分の百科事典を書かせればいい——n8n、Bluesky、LLM、Wiki.jsで構築した「自動自演」ワークフローの構成と、生成された自己像が自分の手を離れていく不気味さについて。

My Cloudflare Tunnel Config Is My Local Dev Directory
I saw Greg Raiz's local.vibe post on Hacker News. The problem is familiar: once you have enough local projects, remembering localhost:5173 vs
If You Vibe Code an App for Work, Put the Backend in Charge
Someone on Reddit asked about deploying a custom vibe-coded app for work, installed on a local server. They could not code their way through problems,
AI Terminology is Poorly Defined and Oft Misused
Words and terms used when describing artificial intelligence are often misused, inaccurate, or generalised to the point of losing all meaning. How terms like 'LLM', 'Agent', and 'AGI' have lost meaning and turned into semantically meaningless buzzwords that are applied liberally without care or appropriate intent, leading to unnecessary confusion and unnecessary need for clarification.
Le Chat – Eine europäische Alternative zu Copilot, ChatGPT und Claude? (Werbung – unbeauftragt, unbezahlt)
Werbung – unbeauftragt & unbezahlt:Aufgrund von Markennennung, Produktdarstellung und Verlinkungen handelt es sich um Werbung, auch wenn ich das Produkt selbst gekauft habe und keine Kooperation besteht. Le Chat (frz. die Katze) ist als Katzenhalter und -liebhaber doch ein sehr ansprechender Name für eine künstliche Intelligenz. Bekannt war mir die KI auch bereits schon länger,...
DevSnoop — Browser Access for Coding Agents
I use coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor — for most of my development. They're good at reading and writing code. They're not good at seeing
Writing Coding-Agent Skills for External Services
Most of my coding-agent skills so far have been for workflow automation — committing, deploying, reviewing. But I recently wrote two skills for

Claude Code for fell running
Claude is also a valuable companion, well, not on the moors per se, but at your desk before you go out onto the moors, to escape from Claude.
Programming Still Sucks.
Sorry Peter. — I'm at a birthday party, and while most people here also work in tech, there's always a Guy with a Real Job. You know, a physical job, building some or other thing people need. And this Guy always asks some variant of the same question: aren't you worried AI is taking your job? I glance around and see a few faces turning around toward us, rolling their eyes ever so slightly before returning to their previous conversation. Yes, this question again.
Same Agent, Different Score: The Problem With Testing Non-Deterministic AI
Before building tools for my Zork-playing agents, I needed a benchmark I could trust. I ran five local models through fifty playthroughs and discovered that the same model can score 40 or 0 on the same game. Getting honest numbers required three harness versions, structured telemetry, and a loop detector that learned the difference between stuck and thorough.
Claude Code vs Cursor vs Codex: Which AI Agent Should You Use?
My Claude Code vs Cursor vs Codex comparison for agentic coding, including terminal workflows, AGENTS.md, skills, tmux, Droid, and daily tradeoffs.
Don't Let the LLM Verify. Make It Build the Verifier.
Someone posted about asking Claude to generate an HTML report from a JSON file, then spawning 4 agents to test it. All 4 reported success. Manual
Two Ways to Direct Coding Agents
I work with coding agents in two modes. For larger features, I write a detailed spec before any code. For smaller tasks, I skip the spec and set
Stuck in the Maze: Why AI Agents Can't Hold the Map
I had local AI models play Zork, the 1981 text adventure, to study why agents struggle to navigate connected systems. One started responding in Thai. Most scored zero. All got hopelessly stuck in the maze. What broke says a lot about why agents get lost in microservices too.
