Given llama 4 mucked up benchmark numbers, I’d take spark announcement with a many grains of salt.

I wonder if Zuck will ever internalize that the words ‘personal’ and ‘meta’ will not be taken seriously together for another decade (if they don’t make another gaff).

Last i checked with friends at meta they are pretty deeply invested in using claude for coding etc. anthropic has nothing to be scared of at MSL.

If spark beats opus 4.6, why is meta wasting money on opus internally?

Litmus test: what % of meta engineers are using muse vs Claude code? Last i heard it was mostly claude code. Tell you everything you need to know about how serious these benchmarks are.

Extremely fascinating and a relatable DIY system. I love the analogy to dashboards.

Too many disparate thoughts in this writing but i admire the sentiment. VR was fraught with problems from the get go and even if we imagine a perfect technology, its a solution looking for a problem at best. I don’t know if that is the same necessarily for AI, but I can see futures where it ends up in doom and gloom.

Cool stuff. would be nice to have a color blind mode. I literally can't distinguish the red from green in this visualization.

This is amazing for getting new team members onboarded with Claude Code processes and tools I use. Thanks for working on it. will give it a try tonight.

Love the product. Have you considered implementing panes and windows that work with tmux’s CC mode? Any considerations specifically for claude code or agentic terminal users?

i hope they implement something that can be used with tmux -CC mode.

100%. Love this approach by Anthropic. The Meta "monetization league" is assembling at OpenAI and doing what they've done best at Meta.

However, I do think we need to take Anthropic's word with a grain of salt, too. To say they're fully working in the user's interest has yet to be proven. This trust would require a lot of effort to be earned. Once the companies intends to or becomes public, incentives change, investors expect money and throwing your users under the bus is a tried and tested way of increasing shareholder value.

I wonder the same. Have been reading up on literature related to ADD/ADHD diagnosis and prescription stimulants. It seems like there is little to no friction in getting a legit positive diagnosis. One can pretend to have issues securing a medication that is only meant for strong ADHD patients. I know someone who was able to get their hand on a lot of such stimulants, got addicted, went over the typical dosage, and is now suffering from psychosis.

I wonder what's the false negative rate for these checklists.

An experiment where they sent normal people to mental institutes to see if professionals would be able to identify them.

But they did use early builds of liquid glass and that should've triggered nausea and someone must've said "Don't"... yet they still did. You don't have to have gone through Windows Vista time to understand UI/UX (least of all, Apple Designers).

I miss the time of Exposé and Mission Control, 3 finger drag, touch-to-tap, force click, even natural scrolling, Macbook Air, Magnetic magsafe.

Then something changed.

Touch bar was a miss. LaunchPad was a miss. I don't see a use of "Stage manager". iPad has gone to shit. Widgets came back, on mac... for no reason.

In Tahoe, the new spotlight search is one of the better features of Tahoe but i am fine with Alfred. But by and large, there are more annoyances in Tahoe than improvements.

For the iPhone and liquid glass, I am convinced that it was done to force people to upgrade to a new device. There *has* to be a reason to upgrade, and when hardware and software feature plateau, then we even the planned obsolescence era.

The website shows no additional screens. hard to make up my mind about it.
