There's a new standard in progress for skills over MCP

https://modelcontextprotocol.io/community/working-groups/ski...

I like my Nespresso thank you very much.

"Review" them how? Read every single line of code before installing something? If it's a binary package, how do you do that? Make reproducible builds for everything you install? Move to from source distro? Putting this on users is not a tenable solution. There's room for common sense, but blaming the users for this is ridiculous

One bad npm package can really ruin your day. These things for me only run in their own VM with it's own GitHub account and basically nothing else

The fallback doesn't seem to be working for me, I haven't scanned a project in it immediately booted me when it found a security bug even though I didn't ask for it

Kube play and quadlets are cool

The vast majority of kobo books are still ACSM protected.

It hasn't changed, and I don't know why people are saying that most books don't have DRM. It is only a small minority.

Tor books is the largest publisher without it (owned by Macmillan). Otherwise everything is truly hard DRM either ACSM with epub or Kindle's. They are both more or less easily defeated though.

All kinds of tools make it really difficult to not make a URL clickable and even if it wasn't clickable they might still put it in address bar...

I am not sure anyone knows what a harness is at this point. I've heard 17 different definitions of it at this point. It's almost like a buzzword in search of a problem.

Trump just needs to mint a 39T coin with his face on it.

That's why I mentioned `-p`.

`--continue` and `--resume` are broken from `-p` sessions for the last 2 weeks. The use case is:

1. Do autonomous claudey thing (claude -p 'hey do this thing')

2. Do a deterministic thing

3. Reinvoke claude with `--continue`

This no longer works. I've had this workflow in GitHub actions for months and all of a sudden they broke it.

They constantly break stuff I rely on.

Skill script loading was broken for weeks a couple months ago. Hooks have been broken numerous times.

So tired of their lack of testing.

Fight enshittification. For whatever reason, many travel sites no longer send full details in the e-mail confirmation, they want you to click through to the site...which means I can't forward it to plans@tripit.com for automatic import.

Immediately after booking something,I tell Gemini to add it to my TripIt. Works great. I have a little prompt explaining how I like it formatted that I cut and paste, so I can just make this a one-click prompt. I could also have it add flights to my.flightradar24.com.

I also use Gemini in Chrome to add appointment confirmations to my calendar. Or remember things in Google Keep.

There's lot of use cases for this kind of thing.

Lots of people are flocking to Claude and ChatGPT -- and making Gemini more useful in the browser everyone already has makes a lot of sense.

More Google use, more data they gather, more ads they can show you

For the love of god fix bugs and write some fricken tests instead of dropping new shiny things

It is absolutely wild to me you guys broke `--continue` from `-p` TWO WEEKS AGO and it is still not fixed.

There is a cognitive ceiling for what you can do with smaller models. Animals with simpler neural pathways often outperform whatever think they are capable of but there's no substitute for scale. I don't think you'll ever get a 4B or 8B model equivalent to Opus 4.6. Maybe just for coding tasks but certainly not Opus' breadth.

:-(

Yea this is the thing that makes no sense to me. Any frontier model can unmiminize minified JS pretty decently. Obviously not everything comes through, comments and such, but I always assumed the reason it wasn't open source was to prevent an endless shitstorm of AI slop PR's, not because they were trying to protect secret sauce.

My GitHub fork of anthropics/claude-code just got taken down with a DMCA notice lol

It did not have a copy of the leaked code...

Anthropic thinking 1) they can unring this bell, and 2) removing forks from people who have contributed (well, what little you can contribute to their repo), is ridiculous.

DMCA: https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2026/03/2026-03-3...

GitHub's note at the top says: "Note: Because the reported network that contained the allegedly infringing content was larger than one hundred (100) repositories, and the submitter alleged that all or most of the forks were infringing to the same extent as the parent repository, GitHub processed the takedown notice against the entire network of 8.1K repositories, inclusive of the parent repository."

I would look at how podman for Mac manages this; it is more transparent about what's happening and why it needs a VM. It also lets you control more about how the VM is executed.

Everyone close to Anthropic leadership has claimed they’re the real deal and it’s not a stunt. I don’t think it’s bull. They are trying to find a reasonable middle ground and settled on some red lines they won’t cross.

There are many android devices with eink screens. Mostly Chinese brands. BOOX, Hisense, etc. some phones. Some ereaders.

That’s disappointing. My primary launcher on my eink devices since it works so well on them.

What would you use instead?

I built an internal CI chat bot with it like 6 months ago when I was learning. It’s deployed and doing what everyone needs it to do.

Claude Code can do most of what it does without needing anything special. I think that’s the future but I hate the vendor lock in Anthropic is pushing with CC.

All my python tools could be skills, and some folks are doing that now but I don’t need to chase after every shiny thing — otherwise I’d never stop rewriting the damn thing.

Especially since there’s no standardizing yet on plugins/skills/commands/hooks yet.

I like Anthropic’s plugin system. I wish everyone would standardize on it instead of everyone having a billion different ways to do slash commmands, skills, etc.

Anthropic wants to ditch MCP and not be on the hook for it in the future -- but lots of enterprises haven't realized its a dumb, vibe coded standard that is missing so much. They need to hand the hot potato off to someone else.

They have though, they added the "ask ChatGPT" thing which is friggin useless

:D :D

I love this

Gemini, grok, etc all have 100x better experiences with voice. Apple is bad at this.

I’m an hour from Cambridge, MA. Ask the weather? I always get Cambridge, UK. Siri is terrible.

They can’t even make a functional keyboard anymore. The text prediction and autocorrect is worse now than it was in 2010!

These are all solved problems in 2025.

I'm pretty sure Jim had aspirations of being IBM CEO but they picked Arvind instead.
