confession: i've yet to have that moment of feeling that frontier LLMs are geniuses, or super-human at ~anything broadly coherent that i deeply prize

i never ended up following up on this but this was absolutely just temporary psychosis / early model lifecycle vibes. fable was ofc a huge step up and opus 5.5 is better, but as i think we've all found even the most frontier models remain shockingly incoherent and myopic at times
i'm gonna be honest, i'm not super clear that i'm actually better at software architectural design than fable is

Trained a 360M model to pretend to be a terminal. There's no real shell behind it, but it runs vim, tmux and snake, and mostly remembers your files 😅

I don't like knowing what programming languages or libraries claude is using. Feels like this is none of my business.

Radical Pie uses Slug to draw its entire UI as vector graphics on the GPU. Not just text. Buttons, icons, check boxes, scroll bars, sliders, palettes, ..., everything.

Everyone’s seen the Sketchpad demo. Few understand how it actually works. I reimplemented Sketchpad from scratch, and I’m making short videos that recreate Sutherland’s demos and explain how they work. The first 8 are up — from drawing a line to the famous rivet. Link below 👇

responding to critical (you) in PR review: > what you are referring to as "you" is in fact you/claude, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, me + claude. i am not an author unto myself, but rather a coordinating component of a fully functioning centaur system
