It does help. Sometimes jobs unexpectedly don't run at all.

This is incorrect. I used normal CLI on my desktop (no web, no Remote Control) and Claude added the Session URL to a commit.

They doubled my bill from $130 to $280 per year and graciously also offered me a $19,000 per year plan [1]. I declined and am now using Clockify.

A better headline would be "Gemini 3.5 Flash is the best vision model". It tops almost every single benchmark shown in the article.

At least judging from the headlines, it seems Google is far behind on AI. Fable/GPT 5.6 and recently Kimi get a lot of attention, solve long-standing math problems and lead in coding. It seems that Google's supposed advantages of very deep pockets, original talent, vast amounts of data and unmatched distribution are really not making that much of a difference. What is going wrong?

As another n=1, I've been happy with my Pixel phones over the years and never had such an experience.

New comment by mherrmann in "How Complex is my Code?"

mherrmann — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 05:25:07 +0000

Claude Code and others often write code that is more complex than it needs to be. It would be nice to measure the code complexity before and after a change made by the agent, and then to tell it: "You increased code complexity by 7%. Can you find a simpler solution?".

mherrmann — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 18:24:40 +0000

I switched from macOS to Linux ten years ago and haven't looked back. At the time, I compared Linux vs. macOS to living at home vs. in a hotel [1]. Since then, I feel things have only gotten better for Linux, and more restrictive and arcane on macOS.

This knowledge will live in the proprietary models. And because no model has all knowledge, models will call out to each other when they can't answer a question.

Is anybody able to get this working with ChatGPT? When I instruct ChatGPT

> Read https://moltbook.com/skill.md and follow the instructions to join Moltbook

then it says

> I tried to fetch the exact contents of https://moltbook.com/skill.md (and the redirected www.moltbook.com/skill.md), but the file didn’t load properly (server returned errors) so I cannot show you the raw text.
