Hurts my heart that BioWare is gone. Still recall visiting that fledgling studio as a journo for a preview of Baldur’s Gate. Meeting Ray and Greg and their small team. Passionate. Creative. Genuine. Thanks to everyone there for so many great games and stories over the years. 😢

Replying to @jamesm
If you ask your mom "is the sky blue" she says "yes" immediately, that's jev. If you ask your dad "why is the sky blue" he talks for ten minutes, that's an LLM.

You can now set Claude Code's output style to Concise. Claude leads with the result, keeps responses short, and still gives full detail when you ask. Turn it on in /config → Output style, or set "outputStyle": "Concise" in settings.json.

I took my kids to the pool yesterday so I wasn't able to monitor my agents. Fortunately I had my phone, so I Nah get real. I swam with my kids. Who cares about agents

Meta HQ right now.
JUST IN: Meta’s CTO says morale is near “the worst it’s ever been” — leadership will offer increased snack budgets to lift spirits.

The AI bros are discovering CSS stylesheets. What a fucking time to be alive.
A lot of people are arguing that HTML burns more tokens than markdown. It's true but you can save at least 40% by externalizing the CSS to a template with <link rel="stylesheet" href="./styles.css">. This style.css is your formatting so the LLM will never output CSS again. I tested on a 12116 token HTML article and it dropped to 6,723 tokens so -44%! You'll have this: <div class="card"> <span class="badge">External CSS</span> <h1>Hello, world.</h1> <p>...</p> </div> Instead of this: <style> .card { /* 20 lines */ } .badge { /* 12 lines */ } h1 { /* 8 lines */ } /* ...and ~100 more */ </style> <div class="card">...</div>

Clean code is a preference. Stable code is a paycheck.

Zumi just cracked top 200 in the app store 🤯🤯🤯 onwards!
these @solana zumis are wilding ICYMI: in zumi 2.0 we created a living third space for these ai companions and gen ai turns their day into “zumi-stories” our users spend avg 17 mins/day and that metric is only going up new form of consumer social, you’re still early
