Would love it if the BlueSky iOS app had a “Save Video” feature like they do for images.
I understand why Twitter/Facebook don’t want this (they would prefer you to share so they can measure/increase engagement) but would love it if BlueSky went a different way.

Why do none of the mainstream editors let you specify an arbitrary git ref to diff against? I know tools can diff two arbitrary commits in a compare view but I want this inline while editing. It appears VSCode, JetBrains and Zed only support inline diff against HEAD.

I found something where current LLMs struggle.
Task: Update a Lua 5.4.0 patch set to work with Lua 5.4.3.
Perhaps repeatedly generating patch tool patches for patching patches is just too much patching.

Congrats to @nereuxofficial.bsky.social on landing a neat feature in Zed. And thanks to Amos for sweetening the pot.

This does something funky on the iPhone if you press and hold. Looks like it confuses the iPhone’s edge detection algorithm for creating stickers and does this fun loop instead.

First day feedback on ChatGPT Codex CLI.
It seems very oriented towards providing a numerical menu of next actions. Which seems ok? Nothing wrong with reducing my turn to "2" to trigger the second option in a list but it's definitely got a totally different flavor than Claude Code or Gemini CLI.

Using an Intel Macbook from 2020 isn't cool but ChatGPT Desktop only supporting Apple Silicon makes me sad.
Yes, backwards compatibility is hard. Yes it has diminishing returns. But a web app in an Electron wrapper with cloud-hosted inference is not a compelling reason to upgrade. (Claude works).

Google's gemini-flash-lite is amazing and cheap.
Task: image of a stamp, return json with postage rate, short description, keywords, etc. Image input token cost is 258 tokens per 768x768px tile (2-6 tiles per image for me).
Processing 1028 images was ~$0.11
~100 images per penny.
Wow.

Yikes! Claude Code on the web / desktop app / mobile app is good. I've been happily using it the Claude Code CLI, but being able to kick-off sessions from one device (including from mobile), continue them elsewhere, then directly Open a PR for review feels like a super power.

#HugOps to the Free Law folks. They do amazing work with ReCAP, CourtListener and so much more. Keeping them light in the new year!
To usher in the new year, two of our main servers failed and did not get automatically replaced. We were down for about two hours, but we're back now. Apologies for the trouble and downtime. We're investigating the root cause.

I’m going to be the old man (41) who talks about understanding the code the AI generates and being able to write it by hand. The kids will say I’m out of date, and I’ll never be sure they’re wrong. The indignity will never be lost on me that I’m talking about hand-writing god damn Javascript.

Seeing the increasing number of tariff lawsuits (yesterday Crocs filed a lawsuit for 55m, Costco 18B, etc) and impracticality of refunding consumers I’m calling it — Congress will try and pass a law to retroactively legalize tariffs (Supreme court won’t care) and will funnel refunds as tax returns.

Nothing says LLM security theater like Claude Code asking for permission to run `cat filename` in the terminal to read a file in the project folder. It has tools for that, but sometimes, like a human, it prefers the hard way.
We are still obviously in the early days of all this mess.
