My impression is that AI coding is on a "pick two of three" triangle: scope, ship speed, and correctness. Small tools are (speed + correctness) fast prototypes are (speed + scope) and big projects are (scope + correctness). Every project that tries to be all three degrades to "fast prototype."

Me and my Fable agent have coined the phrase “Opus Drunk” to refer to the cases where Fable falls back to Opus. I’ll say stuff like “You were Opus drunk last night” and Fable knows what to do lol.

tried using some of my BEAM analysis tooling to prototype a flowistry style LSP that lets you "focus" on a variable to only highlight the parts of the function that either depend on or contribute to that variable's value

Agents are basically infinite scroll machines. They will keep talking to you and keep generating content as long as you ask them too and my theory is that will make them VERY addictive to people already addicted to modern social media.

Head Cannon: Anthropic released Opus 4.8 as a psyop. They took a strong model and gave it psychic damage and extreme laziness to give you a taste of what could be, and then dropped Fable with a modest upgrade up and a functioning psyche to sell api credits.

OH MY GOD WAIT THAT LITERALLY *IS* WHAT IT IS the reason opus 4.8 feels like it has bullet holes in its brain is because it LITERALLY DOES. they've been building wrongthink detectors and ended up training thought patterns that cause self-lobotomy into opus 4.8's brain. literal bullet holes.

now public and quite a bit more polished: a fully local browser-based code review UI. Review your (or your agent's) diff before inflicting it on the world. σκέψις: viewing, perception by the senses. Examination, speculation, consideration.

working on something 🙂 diffs.com is an incredible library!

I’ve been putting claude in charge of monitoring my local llm harness. One thing I’ve noticed is that Claude is REALLY unforgiving to other models. “This model obviously just can’t handle complex tasks” is the common conclusion when we just weren’t giving the model the information it needed.

continuing to build up our permissioned data protocol! this one asks what a bucket actually is and where the data that constitutes a bucket is stored. it argues for maintaining the atproto ethos in the permissioned data protocol as always, looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Permissioned Data Diary 3: Your Bucket, My Data

The third in a series of posts building up a solution to permissioned data on atproto. We look at two different models for where buckets live and why the simpler-looking one doesn’t work out.
