Anyone else having issues with claude code and the scripts folder in skills? All the examples show a relative path (python scripts/blah.py) for invoking but claude code complains because the path is relative to the project not the specific skill folder. Seems to be fine with plugin installs.

My current favourite combo is Claude code and AppleScript. “Find all tabs in safari related to [topic] and append the title, url and short description to today’s Obsidian daily note”

@simonwillison.net is there a way to combine a geojson with lat/long values in datasette? I want to show a bunch of markers as well as city boundaries. I can view each separately in their respective tables but not sure how to combine them.

I think the issue with consumer facing agents is a mismatch in task scope and ability to articulate the task. I think agents show their value with tasks that take days not minutes. Most people don’t have big enough tasks or struggle to articulate the process/outcome in a meaningful way for agents.

SSX Tricky! In my early 20's I had a PS2 but couldn't afford the games. For months we played the SSX Tricky demo (2 min limit) over and over until the wee hours of the morning. I would dream of flying squirrels. youtu.be/PDFUgsE6odU?...

I really want to enjoy Black Doves on Netflix but I can’t get this article out of my head. It’s embarrassingly obvious in the first couple minutes of the last episode. Ugh.

AI produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions than humans! Humans emit 27g of CO2 in the time it takes to write three hundred words. ChatGPT, however, performs the same task in 4.4 seconds and produces only 2.2g of CO2. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I still feel like I’m learning to let go of how I used to interact with code. I had a pretty big refactor I wanted to do and even though I could see the steps there was still an anxiety or resistance to getting stuck in. Then I realized I could hand this over to Claude.

Do kids learn about markdown at school?
I picked it up over the years because I like the simplicity. And tools like Obsidian and iaWriter are my favourites.
But AI has kinda made it mainstream and I don’t know if kids know or care about it.

I wonder what the OpenAI play is with canvas? On the one hand I can see app developers cloning the UI/UX in their own vertical. On the other hand it seems OpenAI wants to be your portal to all knowledge work - writing, code, search.

Love Actually will always be a Christmas classic. And Elf WAS top of my list. Until, that is, Noelle was released. Just watch all 3 and enjoy the festive season. Let’s do this.

Love me a good voronoi thread.
Our new Radiozoa jewelry collection and Patreon sculptures build on our work designing structures with anisotropic centroidal Voronoi diagrams. Here’s a deep dive thread on what that means and how we generate these forms.

My favourite kind of gamedev trivia.
Funny story: Journey had no automatic shadows. I painted them all by hand. The shadow texture was not hi-res. To get the iconic sunset columns to cast sharp shadows, I made sure that they aligned with the pixel grid of the texture. Here you can see the shadow map I painted.

I’ve finished most of the hypermedia.systems book (thanks for the rec @howard.fm) and it’s really helped me fill in some of my webdev gaps. It also provides a refreshing alternative to the react echo chamber. #htmx

I keep hearing, “agentic ai is just an orchestration system”. As a newcomer I’m using langgraph because I don’t know what I don’t know.
What do I need to know about to deploy workflow orchestration?
What do you use and why?
Temporal? Prefect? Inngest?
Would love to hear from the AI community.

Doing a code test for an AI company.
But, I can’t use AI for the code test.
But, the company promotes using their AI for coding.

I often see prime numbers mentioned in coding lessons and tests. But, like, how often do people actually deal with prime numbers in code? Security peeps? Or do they just represent a problem space and that's what the person is learning?
