Inspired by the Parable of the Sower, the song is about patience, quiet faithfulness and trusting the One who brings April. The world may call it foolishness, but those who go on sowing in the silence will be carried in the arms of the spring.
If you're in a winter season right now, this one is for you.

Hi, I'm Felix. I'm an eng lead working on Claude. I love watching people take flight and do things they never thought possible.
We often describe that as "being more ambitious" when using AI, which is tricky advice to follow. I wrote a tutorial:

Mathematician Terence Tao:
"we're seeing the end of the romantic era of mathematics, the age of heroes. we're moving into an industrial era where math becomes large-scale, done in big teams like the other sciences"
We're entering, rather unwillingly, a new era where exciting new things are possible, but some things are being lost

Try asking GPT 6.1 Sol to go to your google photos, find pictures of yourself, and create a catalog of your clothing.
Once that's done, ask it to analyze the catalog like a stylist and optimize your wardrobe.

This is the first time my mind has been completely blown away at what Claude could do.
I have so many conflicting feelings and thoughts. #claude #opus Not ONLY animated our design.
It built it all in #blender3d
What does this mean?!
(Fellow artists please don't hate me! we should all talk about this)
Impressed

Check out DOUBLE FEATURE, a Cuphead Inspired Mini-Game built with Claude Opus 5.5.
I find this model works best when leaning into its strengths, figuring out the parts it does well and letting it capitalize on them. Cartoon shapes and sounds are great.

Yes, I actually recorded the button clicks and static noise from a real Walkman!
It was fun making this at @bitrig hacks today.
