Different links (the other is TheNewStack doing blog commentary, this one is the official Anthropic announcement), but you're right that the discussions could be merged.

Yep, also Australian here, and that is a phrase I would read as a request to do it. I think I used that exact wording when asking on the phone to reschedule a haircut appointment: "Is it possible to shift my haircut to the following We

Okay, that's a point - there's less money in the Squier Jaguars even if they sell more of them. I know I personally can't decide on a Squier Jaguar or Vintera, when I know what I really wanted is a Fender Cobain Jaguar. There

On the dumb side, I think this was 6 August and Opus 5 (though there's a chance it was Opus 4.8), Auto Mode was copying some files into a folder on my machine, and had written a small script to do so: one of those $SRC / $DST situ

Ahh, I see the "last updated" line and the Changelog now! I must have been having a really fuzzy brain day. Thanks for pointing that out!

Mojeek is okay, but I think I'd struggle to use it as my primary search. I do include it in my personal metasearch results though, and find it worth paying for their API access (at my usage it's only about $20/year). If a pag

If you don't mind paying and someone else having control over your search experience, Kagi is an option. Urkey (sp?) is another new alternative. If you just want a free search engine, Brave is probably the best index. Bonus points to M

I had the same reaction as well, the macOS designs looked busy and cluttered. I was surprised that AI companies had landed on something more refined. If nothing else: why is the left sidebar in macOS Liquid Glass on a raised panel? There&#x

There is - in the Claude Code harness there's a dedicated Plan Mode that doesn't edit any files, or a mode where you can manually approve each edit. If you're running Claude via -p automated mode, you can set all kinds of per

That sounds entirely plausible. When I was on the Claude Max $100 plan, I would often get the equivalent of at least $1300 API usage, according to the costs counter in Claude Code. That would be about $1 of usage for every $0.075c. At $1 of

Yep, discovering that you only need a subset of sites is the key. In my case, I still had my entire Firefox browsing history in its SQLite cache, so I tried to index every page I'd ever visited, and had a list of the domains I actually

No, they don't, and I had a feedback request back in September 2024 about that: https://kagifeedback.org/d/4727-option-to-choose-or-exclude-... I ended up quitting Kagi over that and built my own search engine for

This is my experience as well. Lots of success with running one hour Fable sessions (one hour of API time). Not using a loop here, but there's often lots of documentation for Claude to go through first before building out the project.
