These days, website or service “usability” means that Claude code can do it for you.

Is that… what?? Is this technical innuendo?

European civil servants are also usually banned from using AI — perhaps with the exception of Microsoft copilot. They live in a bubble where they just don’t know. This goes for most academics as well.

I love em dashes. They are so much less pretentious than colons or semicolons — and they help with flow of speech. I learned that key command a couple years ago and it made me feel so smart. I’ve had my comeuppance but I’m not stopping — ju

Ethanol is food— you also don't need carbs, but they do keep you alive. More importantly, it fairly central to cultural vitality. Not essential but it plays a highly functional role. Maybe could be replaced by religion or other drugs,

I've only had to do a major token optimization once. It reduced my memory, claude.md, mcps, etc... that's usually the big issue. but of course it gets dumber without the context of the tools but smarter with the cleaner window. so

"Hey Claude, can you help me create a strategy to optimize my token use so I don't run into limits so often?" --> worked for me! I had two $200 plans before and now I am cool despite all day use

On the other hand, "magical new systems that provide almost unlimited capacity for intelligent work" is probably a more functional mental model. Genie can give you 1000 wishes till you reach your session limit.

Doesn’t it all look like child’s play though?

yeah where did that come from? It's like attributing the cartesian coordinate plane to Descartes -- when actually it was a textbook author who came up with the modern one...

It’s only an imperfect vaccine — broad immune protection. Evolution probably has come up with a bunch of these.

These days, command line offers way better usability and accessibility (because Claude Code can do it). Whenever I have to use a GUI I’m like uuughgh… Am I the only one who thinks like this?

I easily go through two pro max $200/m accounts and yesterday got a third pro account when I ran out. It’s worth it, but I know they aren’t making money on me. But, of course I’m marketing them constantly so…

My point is that Claude might easily be about 50x more energy intensive than normal ChatGPT prompting.

I agree, it should not be purchaseable. But, it beats going to physical places to show physical ids for the same service.

DigID in the Netherlands is amazing— it works super well and is central to many services. Then it was bought by an American company—oops.

One hour of Claude code— well, I’d guess it would be comparable to an hour of driving an electric car. How to know?

If you want to try quantum vibecoding, I threw up a site at https://www.haiqu.org where you can mcp with the quantum computer at TU Delft. Free, after you make an account.

I have a PhD student working on EEG audio decoding. We are presently focused on a simpler subtopic: the detection of consonance and dissonance in the brain as it listens to music.
